    Amazing yoga sessions and an Ayuverdic massage course
    I have just completed a 7 day intensive yoga course at Veda Yogshala which has been so amazing! I would love to stay and do longer. Jay is the best teacher and is very good at guiding you through Hatha flow and Ashtanga Vinyasa. He helps you into poses and pushes your body more and every session was varied, fun and challenging. I also did guided meditation with Pushpa, which was an amazing experience as I am a beginner and she is really good at guiding and getting you to try new meditation methods. I completed a 15 hour Ayuverdic Massage course there which I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn Ayuverdic massage treatment. I learnt so much and I am excited to continue practicing. The spa is very relaxing to practice in, and they also offer amazing treatments there which I also enjoyed.

    Amazing yoga classes
    Jay is amazing!! Best yoga teacher in Rishikesh. His hands on adjustments are amazing and he allowed me to go into poses that I have never been into before. Highly highly recommend. I went to his class 5 times in the span of three days as I only had a short time visiting.

    Best Yoga class with various plans
    It was a really calming and relaxing experience with these yoga classes. I attended 7 classes of kundalini yoga by Ms. Pushpa (teacher) she explained 7 chakras of our body. They give personal attention to each and every learner during Yoga class. They also have various plans for yoga classes i.e 5 days, 7 days.

    Variety of services!
    I’ve been to several yoga retreats in India, but this center really stands out for its variety. They offer daily yoga sessions with different types of yoga, all taught at a high level. J - the teacher, is a fantastic yoga teacher who can easily adapt to your level and help you improve. Bushpan leads Ayurvedic therapies with deep expertise, and her guided meditations are some of the best I’ve experienced – a real wonder! The food was also excellent. I stayed at the retreat for 8 days, but it wasn’t enough! Next time, I’ll come for a longer stay! Clean and freandly!

    Therapeutic
    My mom and grandma went to veda yogshala for a 4 day retreat. It was amazing. The teachers, staff everybody was very kind and genuine. The yoga and certain exercises helped my mom and grandma to relieve their pain. Ayurveda treatment like massage was also very therapeutic. Overall an amazing experience and they would like to go back there again.

    Great experience for body and mind
    I did a 7 day Yoga and Ayurveda Retreat and it was awesome. I reconnected with my body, my mind is calm and my chronic digestive issues are getting better. The team that runs the place will make you feel at home. I really enjoy yoga classes with Jay so although I finished the retreat I keep coming for drop in classes. Also meditation with Pushpa, philosophy, and other classes are super good. And of course the ayurvedic treatments.... Wonderful. So I'll say it was a super complete retreat and I'm ai happy I did it

    One of the life's best experiences!
    Wonderful experience! I did my 5 classes Yoga learning session at Veda Yogshala in Rishikesh and I think I made the best choice. Their main motivation about teaching is yoga's path. They teach you real yoga, philosophy and Meditation: the teachers are so good they know what they are doing and they know how to aligne your body into the asanas. They teach a variety of yogic exercises. Hath Yoga🤌 I highly recommend the Kundalini Yoga and meditation. Thank you for giving me one of the life's best experiences. 🙏

    Great Yoga School in Rishikesh
    For the time I stayed in Rishikesh I joined yoga classes at Vedicyog-Shala. I can highly recommend the yoga school. Jay teaches really precisely and his alignments are precisely executed as well, giving you a deeper experience. I went for Hatha and Asthanga Vinyasa classes.

    A lovely transformative experience
    I stayed 7 days at Veda Yogshala for a yoga and meditation retreat and it really was a transformative and rejuvanating experience. The sessions were masterfully led by Jay Ji and Pushka Ji whose guidance made every session feel both challenging and healing with a high intention on alignment and mindfulness. The meals were deliciously made and I can only say that I had an incredible and growing experience at Veda Yogshala and can really recommend them. Thank you 🙏

    Yoga Teacher Training at Veda Yogshala
    The very Best Yoga school! Completing my 200-hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training at Veda Yogshala has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. This school is not just a place of learning – it is a home, a sanctuary where ancient wisdom is shared with profound authenticity and boundless love. From the very first day, I was embraced with warmth and care. The entire team fosters a deeply familial atmosphere, where students are not just guided but truly seen and supported. Every aspect of the training is infused with the rich cultural heritage of India, making the experience not only about mastering yoga but also about understanding its roots in a deeply meaningful way. A special thank you to the powerful Woman Pushpa ji, my Kundalini, chanting and meditation teacher, whose wisdom and radiant presence made each session an experience of deep transformation. Her way of teaching goes beyond techniques; she nurtures the soul, awakening an inner strength that stays with me long after the class ends. And to Jay, my Hatha, pranayama and yoga-alignment teacher, whose precision and dedication helped me refine my practice in ways I never thought possible. His ability to guide students into the depths of each asana with clear, insightful corrections and a deep understanding of alignment is truly remarkable. His passion for yoga is palpable, making every class both challenging and inspiring. Veda Yogshala is a place where tradition and heart come together. I leave this training not only with a certification but with a heart full of gratitude, a mind enriched with knowledge, and a soul deeply connected to the essence of yoga. If you are looking for a truly immersive, authentic, and professional yoga experience, this is the place. infinitely grateful 🙏🏻

I have just returned from an 8 day Refreshing Waterfall Hiking Yoga retreat at the Veda Yogashala in Laxman Jhula, Rishikesh, and it has been an amazing experience! The yoga teaching, the wholesome food, the daily outings, and mostly the warmth and care of the Veda Yogashala team has been exceptional!

The two young teachers, Jay and Deepak, are the best yoga teachers that I have ever been taught by. Their knowledge, skill, expertise, patience and maturity is beyond anything I have experienced and I learned so much in the short period that I attended the Veda Yogashala.

With their guidance, I could stretch to levels that I had not imagined before, and became more confident in my practice. They have an extremely positive attitude, but at the same time, they can discern the individual’s limitations, and help to overcome them. Their expertise becomes apparent in the very first lesson, and they are always very polite and respectful. Thank-you both for the valuable teaching!

Other activities included visiting iconic places, waterfall hiking and river rafting. The lovely Jyothi patiently and skilfully took us around, guiding us to the key places. One of must-visit places is the Beatles Ashram, which shows the dedication of the earlier yogis and their disciples.

During the retreat we had tasty and wholesome food cooked by Kushal, who ensured we had variety for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I will certainly continue my practice with online sessions. Now I don’t want to learn with anybody else and I will make sure that I visit the Veda Yogashala every year.

I would urge anyone who wants to experience skilful and expert training to visit the Veda Yogashala in Laxman Jhula, Rishikesh.

Pushpa ji is the best hindi teacher. She is very kind and professional. I’ve come to India so many times but this is the first time I can really learn and understand the structure of the language. Pushpa became someone very important for me because from now on I can confidently communicate with the people of this country that I love with all my heart. I highly recommend Pushpa, her method is unique and absolutely efficient. Not only she is a super teacher but also a great human being with a beautiful heart. Thank you, my dear teacher, I feel so happy that we’ll be able to continue our lessons together even when I go back home.

Arrived to Veda Yogashala with one friend for beginners drop-in class after practicing yoga only a few times in my life. Class was performed by Bunny. The class was absolutely amazing because he has been raised and lived his entire life in an ashram and the vibe was super shanti and relaxed.

We loved it that much that we kept going daily for our entire stay and brought ten friends with us during that week. By the end, I was able to perform the headstand on my own for the first time in my life.

As days passed we got to know the entire family which were absolutely kind and respectful of all the Hindu traditions. They were really open to questions and sharing their knowledge with us and didn’t hesitate to invite me for dinner when run into them in the ashram. Was a wonderful experience.

100% recommended!

The first and only yoga school in Rishikesh I’ve gone to for 2 months for their drop-in classes. Delightful team of people who are very knowledgeable about their craft. Love the Ashtanga and Kundalini classes the most! Thank you, Veda team! Highly recommended! 💯

I did 35 hours intensiv Hindi course in March 19 with Pushpaji. She is a wonderful teacher with lot of experience and a very friendly personality. She teached me spoken Hindi very fast and in an simple understandable way. I already talked little bit bevor and she made the class according to my needs. In the class we did half of the time conversation and other half for grammar. Pushpaji help me to improve a lot. I enjoyed so much to discuss with her different topics specially about Indian culture. I'm really happy that I attended classes with her!

Jay is managing this place very well. had the impression that he is quite an honest, reliable, very friendly guy. I did the 7 days ayurveda massage course with Harish. He was very keen on teaching me- he repeated the many movements often, and was eager that remembered them.

I didn't have good experience there. I went to a meditation class and was totally lack of substance. The teacher (woman,don't remember the name) didn't give us any instructions, just to have the back straight & close eyes. Put some music and that's it. Whoever can do that. She could guide us a little through the meditation, something else... I don't think this class can cost 300rs. I've tried in other places and meditation classes are mostly free and when not they ask x 200rs, not more. Actually the surprise came when they asked us to pay, and on top of that 300rs, more than usually. Sincerely, I think they take advantage of the ignorance of many people and that's not fare. Teaching yoga or meditation techniques is something serious and they should be really qualified to teach. Maybe they're good with yoga or cooking but after this don't want to try again, I'm sorry.

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation You threatened me with this bad review to avoid paying the meditation lesson. I am afraid this review says more about yourself then my meditation class Sincerely

VEDA YOGASHALAはリシケシにあるヨガスタジオです。
私達はこちらのヨガで、朝8時からのハタヨガと夕方4時からのアシュタンガヨガをしました!
私達はヨガの初心者でしたが、先生のJayはとても優しく教えてくれて、フォローしてくれます!
私達はJayのおかげで、ヨガを楽しく学び、続けることができました。
また、日本ではヨガをする男性は少ないですが、
こちらのヨガでは男性と女性の比率が同じくらいなので、男女関係なく、楽しくヨガをすることができます。
そして、日本人もインド人もたくさんいます。
こちらのヨガスタジオでは楽しみながら、心身共に鍛えられるのでとてもオススメです!
Jayはリシケシの中でもとても素晴らしい先生です!!
ドロップインクラスもあり、コストパフォーマンスもとても良いです。(1class:300ルピー、5class:1250ルピー、10class2000ルピー)
リシケシで1番のオススメのヨガスタジオなので、絶対行くことを勧めます!!

VEDA YOGASHALA is a yoga studio in Rishikesh.
We did Hatha Yoga from 8am and Ashtanga Yoga from 4pm in the evening!
We were yoga beginners, but teacher Jay teaches us very gently and follows us!
Thanks to Jay, we have enjoyed learning and continuing yoga.
Also, there are few men doing yoga in Japan,
In this yoga, the ratio of men and women is about the same, so you can enjoy yoga regardless of gender.
And there are many Japanese and Indian people.
This yoga studio is highly recommended because you can train your mind and body while having fun!
Jay is a great teacher in Rishikesh! !
There is also a drop-in class, and the cost performance is very good. (1 class: 300 rupees, 5 class: 1250 rupees, 10 class 2000 rupees)
It ’s the best yoga studio in Rishikesh, so I definitely recommend going! !
