It was a great time I had at Rishikesh vinyasa yoga school during my ttc. It’s one of the best yoga school in Rishikesh India.

The month I spent at RVYS was transformative and so fun! It taught me incredible yoga skills of course but also truly valuable lessons about the power of consistency and a daily disciplined practice. The food was delicious and the staff are so talented and friendly! Coming to Rishikesh, such a vibrant city, was also such a great spot to do my training. You won't be disappointed if you choose to train here! I'm feeling very inspired to stay consistent, eventually complete a 300H training and improve my skills.

June 2019 YTT: My journey at Rishikesh Vinyasa Yoga School (RVYS) was one I could not have imagined in a million years. My intentions prior to venturing to India for the first was to acquire as much knowledge and wisdom about yoga and life as possible so I could offer my knowledge and experiences to communities back home. The RVYS community offered this and much more! It was an honor to study so closely under Yashpal, a multi-award winning Ashtanga teacher who is incredibly passionate about teaching and fully living the life of a pure yogi. The passion and dedication extended to all teachers and teacher's aids at RVYS and that passion also extended to all students in my graduating class. I left home only to find a second home filled with so many beautiful souls from across the world and everyone was so compassionate and loving towards each other which really enhanced the entire experience-- we all laughed, cried, danced, sweat, and worked through really tough moments together which tightened our bond. I'm infinitely appreciate of this program and everyone who plays a role at RVYS, without all of you, my yoga journey in Rishikesh would have been incomplete.

Thank you for your knowledge, light, and love.

Everything is truly amazing about this school up the hills of Tapovan and truly think this is the best choice to make if you are looking for a Yoga Teaching program which will help you to not only perfect postures but also develops a better understanding of the Yoga Philosophy.

The teachers are all amazing, experienced, competent and really professional. Everyone is so helpful and welcoming that you will really feel part of a great yoga family upon arrival. Since this school is not too big, you will be part of a small group which is great when it comes to alignment classes. You truly will get the attention you deserve to improve and ensures you are doing each posture correctly. I also really like that the last week enables each student to teach their first class. It is amazing to put into practice everything you learn and get feedback on how to improve from the get-go.

I also found this place is perfectly located out of the city noise yet still close to everything Laxman Jula has to offer. The school has a beautiful view of the mountains which makes sunrise and moonrise a pure delight.

Little adventures like yoga on the beach, rafting, a massage and other surprises are also included in the price you will pay which makes the experience even nicer.

In comparison to what I have heard from other friends who did their program elsewhere, food at our school was amazing. Everything was delicious, menu varied from day to day and we always had plenty of food to help us keep our energy and focus on learning.

I already can"t wait to come back to live the 300 hours experience.
Thanks again to all the team for making our experience so nice.

I had gone to Rishikesh in January for my yoga teacher training. It was an amazing experience and training that I gained there.
The yoga teachers are highly experience and knowledgeable (Yaspal, Manish,sajan, Rajesh, Sarbottam, Mohit ,Yogesh), they trained us professionally. The accommodation and food was excellent during whole training period.
Over all it was an amazing yoga teacher training experience for me. I highly recommend this yoga school who is looking for best yoga teacher training.

I have just come back from Rishikesh Vinyasa Yoga school after doing their 300hr TT course in July 2019. It was an extraordinary experience and has changed my life forever. The experience and knowledge that I obtained on this course was amazing and it was beyond anything I expected or experienced previously. In the mornings, we all gathered in front of the school to do the Pranayama sessions. Our teacher Sajan taught us so many breathing techniques that were so new to me. Then we headed off to do the Vinyasa flow sessions and our Vinyasa teacher Rajesh was a little gem. After doing the 200hr TT course, I didn't have enough confidence to teach but observing Rajesh and his teaching methods gave me all the knowledge and confidence that I needed to master and become a teacher in Vinyasa.

Our Ashtanga theory teacher was Deepa and she was so knowledgeable. She taught us how to teach Ashtanga on our own. Thanks to her expert coaching and teaching, I can now teach primary series by myself. Our alignment class was so much fun as the teacher Maneesh can't pronounce "s" J and we used to laugh so hard for that. He taught us the relevant adjustments that we needed to learn how to teach the primary and whole secondary Ashtanga series. I must say it was so useful. In the evening, we had Dr. Sumit for anatomy and due to his medical background we got so much information on how to engage muscles correctly during our yoga poses. After that my favourite part was the Astanga session, where Yashpal was our Ashtanga teacher and he is the most adorable Ashtangi that you will ever meet. He is kind and gentle and if you love Ashtanga, you should meet him at least once in this life time. Our meditation teacher was Mandeep. It was a wonderful way to finish our day by meditating and mantra chanting with him. He was so open minded and we had amazing discussions with him almost every day. His brain was a storeroom full of great information and no matter what question you ask him, he would have the best answer you could imagine.

Then the kitchen staff, I still miss them – Ashok, Sandeep and Tajwal. They are my friends forever and I can’t thank them enough for feeding us such lovely vegetarian food.

Mukesh Bhaiya - thank you for arranging all the chocolate cakes and not letting us get home-sick. Ujjval - thank you for everything you did to us, and being the life-long friend you are to me now.

The only negative thing I could say from the course is the last part of the month long course. In the last week, I was so sad to leave my Rishikesh family. I love you all and can't thank you enough for all the knowledge and love that you offered to us. I will return because it’s worth it. Also, anyone visiting the Rishikesh Yoga School must check out Mona's beauty parlour, the Thulsi restaurant and Zobra tattoos

March 2019 was such a marvelous month for me thanks to Rishikesh Vinyasa Yoga School. It was my first time in India and I m very glad to have been a part of my school. Thank you very much once more the whole team, you guys are the best, always smiley, always there to help.

Our teachers were awesome, always ready to answer our endless questions with patience, sharing their wisdom with pleasure.

The food was always delicious, cooked with love and a looot of spices too :)

The daily schedule and the planning of the month was also very good, I enjoyed every moment I ve spent there, even trying the weird shatkarma :) and waking up at 5 am.

I was already doing yoga since 15 years but I ve learnt a lot, not only about myself and about yoga philosophy, meditation and alignment, but also about the colorful culture of India that I loved a lot..

It was very nice to be instructing a vinyasa flow class to our classmates at the last week, enjoying Holi, going to the waterfall, the "special evenings"; that we were all dancing, the ashtanga class near Ganga, our two beautiful ceremonies, meeting gorgeous people and having my own time just for myself, enjoying lovely Rishikesh..

I am very happy to have chosen RVYS for my teacher training; I think it really is a perfect starting point to deepen your practice and to grow towards being a mindful yoga teacher.

I did my 200hr and 300hr yttc here (June and July) and I’m so glad I did. There are hundreds of yoga schools in Rishikesh so it can be hard to find a good program. This school has very knowledgeable instructors, friendly and helpful staff, good cooks, and is located in a great spot up the mountain tucked away from the chaos of downtown Rishikesh. The school also organised temple excursions, special program dinners, and even a Bollywood dance class! I learned so much about myself and about yoga (not just about the asana) as a complete lifestyle. I feel confident in my knowledge to move forward with my personal practice and grow as a new teacher. Come to Rishikesh and join the family!

I followed the 100 hours teachings and it was a life changing experience !
I learnt a lot as we went through the fundamentals of ashtanga yoga (philosophy, body alignment, anatomy ...) and we were able to deepen the postures & practices to go further.

The teachers were very present, skilled, professional, with a big heart. They corrected the postures with kindness.
They go along with each other si well that it was pleasant to see them together, sharing with us, we could feel like part of a huge family.

Last, the center was confortable with a private bedroom, toilets and shower. The food was amazing : great conditions to learn ! The environment was quiet and not far from the city. Rishikesh is absolutly devine.

I strongly recommend this school. The teachers are very professional, they do their job with passion and pass it on to their students. the structure is comfortable, the location is beautiful. Thank a lot for everythinks Namaste

The quality of the school and it’s education, the passionate and loving teachers and other human beings we met, the food, the spirit of Rishikesh... i would always love to come back. I felt save and comfortable as a young woman alone in India because they kept such good care of us and made us part of the family. Also my fellow classmates were all so uniquely beautiful and made me love every second of the experience even more!
