I wish that anyone who loves yoga could experience this.
I came here with basic yoga knowledge and I am now leaving knowing that yoga is a beautiful, continuous, life-changing journey. I was so blessed to find the right people who supported me on this.
The school is located in a perfect spot in Tapovan, Rishikesh, close to lots of shops and restaurants, which you won't really need because the meals served here are delicious and healthy. The rooms are big and comfortable. It really feels like home.
My journey started with 200hrs TTC, but as I've started experiencing authentic and traditional yoga I knew that this school could give me more and more, so I extended my staying and completed also 300hrs TTC.
With an intense schedule and a perfect routine I have learnt about shatkarma, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, anatomy and asanas with proper alignment.
The quality of the teaching is really high; the teachers are very knowledgeable and experienced.
Pankaj Ji, Shubham Ji, Nitin Ji and Raj Ji all have special ways of sharing their knowledge with such a kindness, passion and enthusiasm.
They are able to adjust depending on your level of experience, making sure that you learn in a safe way. Hence I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn more and share about yoga.
I am forever thankful for my teachers and their guidance that gave me so much knowledge and inspiration, but also curiosity knowing that there is so much more to learn.
After this 500hrs I am ready to continue my own journey, knowing that I will have the support of my amazing teachers from a distance and that we will meet again soon.
I am very grateful from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏼

I participated in the 200h YTT at Hatha Yoga World in November 2022 and I am very happy with my decision.
Pankaj, the director of the yoga school, is very experienced and a very good teacher. Thanks to his years of experience, you had the feeling that he knows exactly how to deal with each body and where the physical limits and weak points of each student are. In this way, each student improved individually in the Hatha classes and was able to increase their performance.
Despite the packed schedule, flexibility was given and especially due to sickness absences, the schedule was also adapted to the students and their wishes were taken into account.
Overall, the classes were very informative and had a very nice atmosphere. All teachers have an incredible knowledge of the various topics and were able to pass this on in good English. You can see that each of the teachers, whether philosophy, anatomy, hatha yoga or vinyasa yoga, lives and loves his respective subject with heart and soul and wants to share as much knowledge as possible with the students.
In addition to the classes, we were also very well taken care of. There was delicious Indian food every day and also here the wishes of the students were taken into account as well as intolerances or vegan diets. You can feel at this yoga school that it is run with the heart and that it is very close to Pankaj's heart that we all have a good time there. He also took us on excursions on Sundays or organized them for us upon request. He took care of many needs and was always there to help. You could ask him everything and learn a lot about the Indian culture. So once again a huge thank you to Pankaj and all the teachers of Hatha Yoga World for the wonderful and educational time.

Such a beautiful and educational experience. The view from the rooftop is just stunning, the food is so good and fresh, and the atmosphere in the school is really nice and relaxed. Pankaj has a good hard working team that did a great job of making our stay safe, comfortable and pleasant.
The teachers are amazing! The teaching is nice and structured, but there is still a calm vibe, which is great because then you can enjoy learning the materials and not feel stressed about it. It is very insipiring to get to be a student of such passionate and experienced teachers. They are so knowledgeable about all things yoga, and it has been an honour and privilege to learn from them.
And special thanks to Pankaj for his hard work and dedication. He did such a good job at making us all feel at home, and he is always there to help. His knowledge and long experience with yoga makes him a wonderful yoga teacher. He provides a lot of support and encouragement, and his teaching style makes you feel good and comfortable. He has taught me about the wonders of the yogic life style and I’m so exited to take this experience with me in the journey ahead.
Huge thanks to Hatha Yoga World. I am forever grateful!

Hi, in 2017 I took my 200h certificate at Hatha Yoga World and in September 2022 I came back to upgrade my yoga skill. Now I am 500hour RYT.
I really like my teachers. They are fynny, amazing and unique. I learnt so much from them and we have laughted so much together.
Pankaj, he helped me a lot with the papirwork to come to India and he can be up the whole night to communicate and to be sure we students come save into the India and to Rishikesh. If we needed something we told him about it and the next day everything will be done. He is very good to listen to our needs.
The residence/ the hotel we have stayed is clean, the staffs are kind and helpful, the rooms are big and nice, the rooftop is amazing.I really like my hotel and feel like I am home.
I will recommend you to Hatha Yoga World. 😃

My favorite part about the course, was the whole atmosphere. I felt so welcome by Pankaj and the whole team. Of course it was a pleasure to practice and hang out with my fellow students everyday as well! :-) The welcome on the first day, instantly made me feel comfortable and the yoga teachings are the best i have ever experienced. It really is the right choice, to go to India (and then to Hatha Yoga World) for learning and practicing yoga. The food was so good - I will miss breakfast with a view of the Himalaya mountains! I did not do the 200 hour teacher training because i wanted to be a yoga instructor professionally, but since doing the course i have actually been teaching. The course made me feel confident in my abilities and for me the whole course sparked an interest in sharing yoga. I cannot thank Pankaj and the Hatha Yoga World team enough for a fantastic experience. I will never forget it. Namaste

I completed the 200 hour course and can warmly recommend Pankaj's Hatha Yoga World. I liked the teaching of traditional yoga and the Indian culture. The Teachers were very competent, atmosphere were friendly. The food was good and healthy and rich and even there our needs were taken into consideration. Many thanks for this great experience, I look back and have it in my heart. ❤️🧘♀️

I'm happy that I had my TTC experience here! Everyday was a memorable experience at the Hatha Yoga World. Accommodation and food were nothing short of being superb. The people in the program are just amazing with great energy. The teachers are diversely experienced, caring, and inspiring. Each of them is an insightful, unique mentor and character. Love them!
The classes were challenging, which is much appreciated as I improved tremendously in my practice. The significant personal growth I gained there empowers me to continue striving down the path.
I have much gratitude towards everyone here. I truly felt loved and cared for!

I went to Hatha yoga world for a one week retreat because I did yoga just few times before, never seriously.
It was a small group where I was very well welcomed, the teachers are incredible. I felt like home.
The bedrooms are very big and clean, and the food...... wonderful!!!!
This experience changed my life, specially how I see my future now.
Thank you is not strong enough to represent my gratefulness.
