    I love the experience at Om shanti Om ahsram. It is truly the destination for people who want to learn the true essence of yoga and are on a spiritual quest. Dinesh ji is a very humble, learned, funny and incredibly motivating teacher. He made me feel truly at home. The other teachers are equally great, know their subject and extremely dedicated to teaching yoga to learners. I will definitely recommend everyone thinking of coming to Rishikesh to learn yoga to come at Om shanti om ashram. The food also is nutritious, home-made sattvic. Loved it!

    I have just completed my 300-hour training at Rishikesh Vinyasa Yoga school where I had a wonderful experience. The teachers are excellent and very attentive. They genuinely love sharing their knowledge, and you can truly feel it. The food is incredibly good and very well-balanced.
    I am deeply grateful for everything I learned and would highly recommend this school .

    I can really highly recommend this TTC. What I loved most about this program is the dedication to providing an authentic teaching of Hatha yoga and sattvic lifestyle. I can imagine that that’s not everyone’s cup of tea, however it was exactly what I was looking for personally. Besides the high quality of the actual teachings/ classes, I really enjoyed the fact that uniforms were required and we stuck to a sattvic/ ayurvedic diet during the course. For me, it really added to the teaching and allowed you to immerse yourself better into the yogic lifestyle, which I found to be very valuable. The food was really delicious and nourishing. Although the rooms were basic, the Ashram and its surroundings were really serene and a perfect environment to do a program like this. I think it’s truly so much better than doing your TTC within the hustle and bustle of Tapovan, which has so many distractions and disturbances. The teachers Vini and Tina are also so knowledgeable about yoga and were truly great teachers, I really enjoyed being their student. All in all, if you’re looking for a high quality, no BS Hatha yoga TTC, I can highly recommend this one!

    I had a very good experience. Me and my wif attended outdoor meditation sessions, detox, yoga, mantra chanting, and pranayama and also intense indoor meditation classes. I can vouch for the quality of teachings and also their hospitality was too good to be true. I have going back again for a while now. I have benefitted greatly. As I type this I am still continuing to do yoga at home after the course ends because I understood it too well!

    Very few people are so true to the spirit and essence of yoga. In a world where most schools are like refined sugar - without substance albeit sweet, Yoganga is like sugarcane juice - wholesome all the way. I had a great time in the pranyama retreat and I learnt a lot. I feel my perspective has widened and cleared. I recommend Yoganga Healing to all who wish to go deeper into yoga.

    Great experience! As a first time solo traveler to India from the US, I felt very comfortable staying here. The location is close to both waterfalls and town—making it a nice place to explore. The rooms are modest but adequate with reliable hot water and WiFi. The yoga courses themselves are all excellent.

    I have been teaching yoga for ten years and have always wanted to deepen my experience with training in India. I enrolled in the Samadhi Yoga 300 hour Kundulini training for the month of October, 2024. My intention was to deepen my Yoga studies by learning in the place where it all began from native teachers who’ve lived and breathed these teachings from childhood. I didn’t fully appreciate that this was not going to be an extended vacation, but a rigorous school, both physically and intellectually demanding. Our study and practice began at 4:30 every morning and ended at 7:00 pm. In the 14+ hours each day, about 6 hours was spent in an active physical practice. The rest was listening to lectures, breath work, meditation and the like. There was a lot of sitting on the floor. I didn’t appreciate how taxing that was for me. Did I mention that I'm 72 years old.
    Living for a month in an ashram an experience. This is not a hotel. You are responsible for cleaning your room, changing your sheets and cleaning up after meals. The food was of course vegetarian and mostly vegan - a yogic diet. I haven’t had a drop of coffee or alcohol. Most every meal was lentils, rice, fruit and a veggie stew (curry), with little variation from day to day. It was as if the living arrangements were planned not to distract from study and practice.
    In addition to the extensive practice sessions and classroom work, we were able to experience the Indian culture in a way a tourist never could. Celebrations here seem to happen almost daily and every celebration occasions lots of singing and dancing, like a Jewish wedding times 100. We went to staff and neighborhood birthday parties, joined parades that made their way through town and on to the next one, attended puja ceremonies, met with revered Swamis and Gurus. I can’t even count the number of flower garlands I received or the spices thrown into the ceremonial fires.
    It will take a long time to fully appreciate all that I’ve received here, including deep knowledge about yogic practices I could never have learned from a book or a seminar back home in the US. For example, every day after Sadhana we had a 90 minute pranayama practice led by a well known Guru. After taking a week to teach the practice to us, we did the same practice day after day, week after week until it was committed to memory. There are a lot of components to it: movement, 5 different breath practices, bandha, mudra, chanting. It’s a lot. But it’s also amazing. Far beyond anything I’ve ever done in the yoga practice. Guru explained this was his master’s practice, handed down from master to student over the ages, never written, transmitted by demonstration only. And in the last week, Guruji shared the “secret” part of the practice, a part we were invited to include in our personal practice, but which we promised never to teach to others. With that agreement, we humbly acknowledged our own limitations.
    I can say without reservation that I feel full to overflowing. The quality of the teaching here is excellent. I heartily recommend Samadhi Yoga Ashram to anyone interested in deepening their practice.

    I have just completed the 300-hour teacher training, and I highly recommend it—100%! There were only six of us, which was one of the things I appreciated the most. The Vinyasa and Ashtanga classes were very personalized, allowing for a deeper learning experience. The subjects covered, including pranayama, philosophy, methodology, alignment, and anatomy, were comprehensive and well-structured.

    I must highlight the exceptional quality of the instructors. It was truly amazing to learn so much from them.

    Additionally, I had a private room with its own bathroom, which was very comfortable. The food was excellent, and the organization of the course was outstanding. The team made every effort to ensure we felt at home throughout the entire experience.

    My time at Arogya has been fantastic.
    From letting me arrive early, to the quality of the 200hr YTT itself, to the Himalayan Village trip, I've been treated like one of the family, at this Yoga Shala.
    The location is wonderful, peaceful, and away from the hustle and bustle of Tapovan, while it's only a short journey by tuk tuk. The quality of the teaching, the kindness of the staff, and the way things are organised: simply fantastic.
    The course was well put together, giving you the basics, whilst also introducing students to deeper practices. The teaching practice and assessment, which I was a little apprehensive of, was very manageable and the group feedback was great.
    I would wholeheartedly recommend the courses and accommodation here. You are sure to find your time at Arogya peaceful and fulfilling, and you definitely won't be disappointed.
    Thank you so much for everything, Rajneesh, Azad, and everyone else at Arogya Yoga School! Namaste.
