"Excellent yoga training"
My overall impression of AYM training school was of a professional, well run organisation. The emphasis is on providing an authentic yoga experience with excellent teachers in a fun and friendly environment. The course is intensive and is physically, mentally and emotionally demanding. However, throughout the course as friendships and relationships developed, a strong support network built up amongst the students and this is something I appreciate and hope will stay with me as I progress on my yoga journey.

"200 hr ytt "
I loved the teachers at the school, they were very intelligent, thorough and helpful. The schedule they provide is rigorous but so worth it. They focus just as much on philosophy as physical asanas covering many important topics. I heard from many people it’s one of the best yoga schools in Rishikesh. The location is great walking distance to the river and town plus lots of good food close by!

"AYM Juillet 2019"
7 enseignants souvent très professionnels, un planning quotidien bien rempli 6h-20h, un jardin et des espaces assez volumineux.
Multi activités : Hatha, Ashtanga, méditation, pranayama, anatomie, pédagogie, mantra et Ayurveda (option)
On peut regretter un manque de pratique pédagogique : une seule séance de 35mn à préparer en tant qu’enseignant. Cela manque de feed-back.

"Valuable time for teaching courses "
Had amazing 7 days at this school, meeting great people from all over the world and taking courses by great teachers. Although the schedule is pretty packed from 7am to 7pm, I had enough time to explore the town.
About 15 min walk from the town center and there are many nice cafes around.

"100% A+"
The entire campus staff at AYM is there for your growth, learning, and success. It's a rigorous course, which is what you want and crave from a 300 hour program. The instructors are incredible and truly care about the students and the learning. A lot of time and consideration has gone into creating this training program, and it shows in every little detail.

The teachers were so knowledgeable, I loved all of them and I have learned so much.
Same compliments go to the Chef. The food was delicious!
I definitely recommend this school. Overall I felt safe and taken care of, so that I could just focus on my studies.
Thank you AYM!

The teachers are great and very knowledgable. You will learn how to teach yoga the authentic way and as a lifestyle - not just a practice. You will make amazing international friends. The staff are friendly and the Manager, Rupesh, is considerate and helpful.

"An amazing school if you want to be a yoga teacher!"
I loved my experience at AYM! All of the instructors are absolutely amazing, the quality of the yoga education is unparalleled. I feel prepared to begin my journey as a yoga teacher. I also had an unreal group of peers to share the month with, which helped a lot. The food is very good quality and everything is clean. There is even a cool little cafe in the garden to relax in inbetween classes and grab a smoothie, juice, or coffee. Rishikesh is an awesome environment to learn yoga, and AYM is a great school.

"Overall amazing experience"
Amazing teachers and very inspiring and supportive cohort. All the asana and theory lessons are great. We built a community here. The location is great. The ashram is located on a hill, away from the busy mean road. So it was peaceful and quiet outside of the ashram. We could hear birds singing every morning.

"Hatta yoga class was so nice. "
Everything was better than expected.
All staffs are kind and peaceful area.
It’s good for yoga retreat course.
Hatta teacher , JAYA JI is my favorite teacher , I’m lucky to meet him and learned a lot.
Mantra class was wonderful even though feel tired after a day program. I’ll never forget the moment Mantra chanting together.
And Hatta& Ashtanga yoga practice, we seperated 2 groups because of 40 overs June Batch. It was good only 15-20 students in a class.
In Philosophy lecture, I learned a lot and realized what’s the Yogi & Yogis life.
Thank you, AYM

The location is great. The school is located up on Tapovan hill (the way to get there is pretty steep!) far away from the noise of the city, but still reachable by foot. The yoga center is great, with a beautiful garden and a little bar where they serve coffee and juices. The rooms are clean and bright. The yoga hall is big and bright, even though a bit dusty.
The Hatha Yoga teacher (Jaya) is EXCELLENT, very knowledgeable, with a focus on alignement.
