Devvrat Yoga Sangha

Everything was on point, I came there with no expectations I left with a heart full, a lot of new knowledge, a sore body and full of lovely memories. The teachers are so interesting, available anytime to answer your questions or just talk If you have a down. This was super challenging month and I’m glad I had a good group of students with me too. So grateful I got the chance to be certified in this school, the food was super healthy and made with love by the kitchen crew. Also cleaning your rooms, making sure the area is clean and tidy, thanks to them again 🙏🏽. Devvrat is such an interesting and inspiring person, I loved the philosophy classes with him, they were my favourites! Abhi my favourite teacher, such a kind man, bless him with his positive energy, always smiling and pushing us through Ashtanga positions. Full love for this crew, for the area that is beautiful, for the land of India where this knowledge come from, for the volunteers that helped us through this month too (Love you Gini). This is an experience of a lifetime and I feel so blessed to have been part of it ! Namaste 🙏🏽

I’m truly happy that I chose this school. I honestly envy everyone who will come here for a 200-hour (or longer) training, because I enjoyed every single day of my time here.

All the teachers are absolutely amazing. This is one of those rare experiences where you learn in a team of people who genuinely love what they do and truly live their practice. Everything was explained and demonstrated in great detail, which made the training incredibly valuable.

On the very first day, we were given all the study materials — something I didn’t expect at all, but really appreciated. It was both thoughtful and very helpful.

The program is quite intensive, so even though we lived just five minutes from the sea, I only managed to see it about once a week 😅

The food was absolutely delicious, and Indian cuisine was a real discovery for me. The pineapple curry (I hope I’m calling it by the right name) was simply out of this world 🌌🤩

I also loved that the teaching is based on the Iyengar method. Overall, I’m sure that in a couple of years I’ll come back here again.

I’m deeply grateful for this month — I was truly happy here.

It’s hard to put into words how happy I am to have chosen this school. There was a lot to love, but my favourite part was the intensity of the daily asana classes. The knowledge, passion, and experience of the teachers (Abhishek and Gaurav) helped me to trust the process, and I saw improvements in my personal practice that I’m so proud of!

I also thoroughly enjoyed the theory classes; the 'Art of Teaching' and philosophy modules were the highlights, and they always prompted great discussions within our group.

There is a whole team of people working behind the scenes to make the experience possible (including those preparing delicious, healthy food and cleaning the facilities) who always greet you with a smile.

It was fantastic to learn and grow alongside people from around the world, and I really enjoyed seeing everyone evolve during our time together. I’m so grateful for the entire experience.

Teachers are absolutely brilliant! They do it every month but don’t loose their enthusiasm at all. They paid attention to everyone, helped and adjusted a lot.

Really involved and approachable.

It feels like it’s not just a job they do but something that really matters for them.

I struggled a lot because 4 hours of asana practice per day is challenging however teachers were always there. They supported and pushed us.

I always had this fear to any hand or head stands but I can do headstand near the wall now. Because teachers not only explain everything but they often believed in me more than I did.

All the atmosphere in school is very friendly. You feel so safe and cozy. I didn’t really want to go anywhere else because I felt so good in our Devvrat bubble.

Food was always fresh and delicious. I’m not vegetarian and sometimes I felt that I’d like to have more protein. School has a perfect location with a lovely InDa cafe near by. So it wasn’t a problem to get some more food outside of the school in the evening or on Sunday.

Another good thing about location is the beach that is maybe just 8-10 minutes walk. We had yoga at the beach for a few times and also went there on Sundays just to swim.

I didn’t expect this value for money I paid. I feel I got more than I expected.

I’m 1000% satisfied with my choice.

The openness of everyone around, starting from the teachers, the volunteers and my yoga friends attendees. Also the level of knowledge that the teachers have is very impressive, I learned a lot!

The classes are demanding, so you will need to be constantly studying, although it is a relaxed environment, very natural and surrounded by nature. The school is beautiful, we had 2 shalas, one for yoga practice and another for theory lessons and meditation.

The beach is very close by, just a 10 minute walk towards Black Sand Beach. The view from the North Cliff is beautiful.

There were a lot of things, but if I had to choose one, it would be the amazing team and teachers. Their knowledge, the quality of the courses, everything was thought about, from the course manual, to the special meditation activities. The Devvrat Yoga team really goes out of their way to give you the best experience, and you can feel they care about you so much. The food was amazing: local, a vegetarian buffet, sometimes desserts. The location is right next to the beach and to the centre, so you are free to go and relax in between your classes.

Les professeurs passionnés, bienveillants et pleins d'humour, la qualité de l'enseignement, la nourriture locale et très savoureuse, l'ambiance.. je recommande Devvrat yoga school sans hésitation !

In this trip of 200hr YTTC with Devvrat Yoga Sangha, let me realise Yoga is not just a skill, more from the mind and your heart. The teachers are friendly and willing to teach with patience. Making a happy and focusing learning vibe. The food are delicious too.

I am trying to find the words to describe how happy my friend and I were with our choice of yoga teacher training. The school is located minutes from the sea and Varkala Cliff, with its many amenities and beautiful views. The food was delicious and there were surprise extras throughout the stay. From the beginning, the teachers were very welcoming and created a memorable experience for us. In fact, what I liked most about the training was the personal touch the school brought to the training. The teachers had the winning combination of wisdom and fun and were all super enthusiastic and great characters. I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in deepening their yoga practice, whether you are planning to teach yoga, or not. I came a way from the training with newfound sense of confidence and enthusiasm for my yoga practice and actually, life in general!

As I booked the YTT by Devvrat’s, I was very insecured : is India the right place ? Are those people more into business than yoga ? How is indian’s way of teaching ? And so on.

SO if just like me you are behind your pc’ screen, hesitating and asking yourself the same questions, let me tell you more about what you can expect at this school:

•First of all, you’ll never be or feel alone. The teachers will always help you to reach your goals or to solve any of your problems, either it is about administration. This is a safe space.

•Secondly, Varkala is a touristic destination, so compared to other places in india, it is relatively quiet, familial, and if you are home sick you will always find something that looks like what you could’ve found in your country. At lunch time you’ll even have the time to go for a swim, isn’t it amazing ?

•The food is amazing, not too spicy and super healthy, made with love.

•The accommodation is very basic but you don’t need much as it’s always very hot.

•Every lesson is interesting and you will have the opportunity to open your mind about many subjects, also about your own self :)

•The hatha and ashtanga classes will be challenging but it is on of the best way to step out of your stagnant zone and to happily surprise yourself

In between the classes, the mood is very relaxed and you can choose either to chill with people or to take some time for yourself. And remember ! This is not a retreat, but not a military camp neither ;)

What a great experience this has been.

I had chosen Devvrat’s YTT among others for several reasons: First the teacher training was directed to Hatha and Ashtanga. The website convinced me together with the reviews. Second: I found the location and food looking very attractive. And it was!! It was my first time in India. Another reason was the program. Although it is a busy schedule, there is some me-time and the weekends are more relaxed.

The teacher Training was one of the most intense times of my life. Both the daily yoga portion and the theoretical lessons were an inspiring and challenging experience. Devvrat, with his calm manner, knows how to teach the key concepts of yoga practice and make them understandable. A very enriching experience.

We were in a group of 5 and could thus experience a very detailed and individual training over 4 weeks. I really enjoyed the theory sessions (philosophy, anatomy and Art of Teaching). This is where Devvrat's years of experience as a teacher really shines, as he manages to break down the complexity of yoga and it's exercises in a logical and understandable way so I could understand and explain the importance of modifications and props.

The other teachers for hatha yoga and meditation also understood their craft and gave valuable techniques and tips for the way ahead.

In summary I can say that I learned a lot, especially when it comes to not asking too much of myself at once. Nothing happens overnight. Slowly Slowly. Thank you very much from germany <3

The TTC at Devvrat Yoga Sangha is incredible. Such a thorough, challenging and exciting course.

Devvrat is an exceptional teacher. His knowledge, experience and warm nature provide a truly wonderful teacher training experience.

The food is delicious! And the accommodation is clean and comfortable.

I feel very lucky to have completed my Yoga Teacher Training at Devvrat Yoga Sangha, and would highly recommend for any aspiring yoga teachers 😊

I had a lot of expectations coming to this training and what I experienced and learned during this one month training was beyond what I had in mind.

The quality of the vegetarian food 3 times a day, the 2 yoga classes, and the daily meditation/philosophy/art of teaching classes were simply the best I ever had. The activities beside the training were also very good!

Devvrat takes care of his students and makes you feel ready to become an amazing and confident teacher.

Vijit which was also teaching yoga is one of the best teacher I ever met and my group and I were more than satisfied of this one month amazing adventure they allowed us to live in this beautiful place close to the beach.

My yoga teacher training was way beyond my expectation of how the teacher training was supposed to look like. Great family atmosphere has been created right from the day 1 and kept going until the very last day. The curriculum quality has been extraordinary as well as personal feedback from the teachers. I deepened my knowledge about all aspects of yoga a great deal and move one step closer of becoming a yoga teacher. Highly recommend this training.

Ich bin mit der Wahl meiner Ausbildung 100 Prozent zufrieden.

Super Location, super Trainer, super Verpflegung, es mangelt an Nichts.

Es ist nicht nur ein Ort wo man hingeht um seine Lizenz zu erhalten, sondern man ist von Anfang an ein Mitglied der Comunity, was ja Devvrats Grundgedanke ist, nach der Ausbildung liegt es an einem Selbst, wie sich die Wege weiterhin kreuzen...

Ich würde diese Ausbildung jederzeit wieder dort machen, ich glaube kaum, dass es einen vergleichbare Ort gibt.

Ich kann es jedem, der mit dem Gedanken spielt, ermuntern dorthin zu gehen, Du wirst es lieben.

This was simply one of the best things I’ve done in my life.

I’ve been wanting to do a Yoga Teacher Training course for several years, but just simply never had the time due to family and work commitments.

I could not have chosen a better school.

EVERYTHING about Devvrat Yoga Sangha was just right. However, I must say the small group of 9, and the teaching team is what made the whole experience something I will treasure for the rest of my life.

The students were from all over the world, from different backgrounds, and with various experiences with Yoga. At 46 years, a father of 2 teenagers and someone not very fit, but just a keen interest in Yoga for some years, I was apprehensive about embarking on something that seems to be generally the domain for young, fit, athletic and flexible people. However, I was so wrong about this.

The teaching team were all very experienced, knowledgable and very passionate. The variety, breadth and content of the course was professionally delivered.

The course was very well structured, within a well equipped studio. The accommodation was simple but comfortable, and the 3 meals a day were just just so tasty and nourishing, and being a Vegan, I was well catered for. We never had to complain about the variety of food available.

The location itself was brilliant being 5 mins walk to one of the best Beaches in all of India, and with plenty of things to do in your time out.

Es war eine sehr intensive und gute Erfahrung. Und ich würde den Kurs jederzeit wiederholen. Das Lehrerteam vermittelt die Inhalte kompetent und professionell. Ich habe sehr viel gelernt und hatte eine mega tolle Zeit.
