Hari Om Yoga Vidya School

When my wife and I (who are from California, USA) decided to travel to India, we knew we wanted to ease into our new environment at a yoga retreat in Rishikesh. With so many options, it was challenging to decide where to stay. We are so happy we chose to stay at Hariom Vidya Yoga School.

Before we even arrived, communication was seamless. The owners Pramod and his wife Sona answered any and all of our questions, and were able to accommodate all of our needs. They were also able to arrange our transportation from Delhi, which made our arrival in India completely worry-free.

Our retreat was everything we could have hoped for. The friendly atmosphere allowed us to join into the ongoing yoga program, and we were able to quickly get in tune with the energy and spirit of this unique town. Hariom Yoga School itself is a small sanctuary from the bustling town with incredible staff and the best food I have ever had in India (this is my third time visiting the country), which is all included.

Apart from a selection of wonderful yoga classes with knowledgeable instructors, the staff helped us arrange excursions to all the must-do activities in Rishikesh. We were able to attend the famous Fire Ceremony, all the best temples, and experience all the hidden gems in the area without having to waste time scouring tripadvisor for tour guides.

Everyone at Hariom Vidya School treated us like family, and I would highly recommend them to anybody coming to Rishikesh.

It was a very intense time for me. The teachers were very competently with a great knowledge.

We were a group of only 3 people at the end, for me it was good, but of course for the school they need more people and I can really recommend to join the teacher training at hari om Yoga vidya school.

Also the food was really awesome and the smile of the friendly stuff.

Thank you!!

I had a wonderful time in Hari Om Yoga Vidya school. We learned a lot about ashtanga yoga, anatomy, pranayama, meditation, hatha yoga, yoga philosophy. Teachers were great, esspecially Som, the Ashtanga Vinyasa and Anatomy teacher. He gave us so much information about adjustments and modifications and how to use them properly. The food was very tasty and the accommodation clean. Pramod and his family made us all feel great and the most welcomed. I really enjoyed every second being there. 🙏💓

All teachers were very dedicated and passionate about yoga, and very willing to share this. The course was continually challenging which is what we were looking for. I especially appreciated the anatomy component which looked at anatomy from western science and eastern yogic angles, relating it to asana, pranayama and meditation.

Facilities and accomodation was perfect, super comfortable and definitely the best indian food in Rishikesh. All the staff in the hotel/school were so lovely and I will miss talking with them over meals.

Pramod ji is wonderful and really cares that about our learning and comfort. We learnt many lessons from him in kindness and compassion also.

I'd definitely recommend this school over others 😊

Le programme est très complet, les profs sont très sérieux et passionnés! Cuisine de qualité. Cadres super. L’école est vraiment bien placée en vile. Proche de tout mais loin du bruit.

Bonne ambiance générale

When I decided to do the yoga teacher license at Hari Om Yoga Vidya School I expected to learn the basics of the traditional Yoga, how to teach it to others & to have an inspiring time in India.

In the end I got so much more:

The teacher & the staff are all absolutely heart- warming & supporting in any concern.

At Hari Om Yoga Vidya School we had well structured practise & theory classes, furthermore the school is situated in a very nice area in Rishikesh, so there are nice places to see around.

The food, rooms & staff were just better than expected & I’m looking forward to come back & continue with my yoga journey.

Thank you so much for everything Hari Om Family!

The Hari Om family is very welcoming and kind. Everyone was open and understanding. The classes and teachers were good and whenever we had suggestions, they reacted promptly to make us feel better.

Professional teachers

The whole time of organizers , teachers and the kitchen crew were always super prompt to attend any request in such a gentle way. The classes were intense and full of information that really tuned me back to yoga discipline in my life .

Absolutely loved my time here, the yoga, meditation and pranayama classes were by far the most interesting and inspiring classes I've ever taken. The teachers were so knowledgeable and motivating, and simply beautiful people to spend these past two weeks with. Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to gain some valuable knowledge in this way of life.

I spend really amazing time at Hariom. I am very happy to be choosed this place. Best training, accomodation and food for the less price. Very cosy place, very sincery interest for everything you need. Wise teachers that I can never forget. I just was upset for being have to turn back. Thank you Hariom for every knowledge that I will save and share for a lifetime.. Namaste...

Ashtanga teacher and philosophy teacher

People are so nice and friendly.

Food was good! They try to make it in middle! Not to strong.

Close by the Ganga river ? 10 minutes by walk.

The program covers so many ISSUES, at any moment we feel learning more YOGA ; that is every day I felt more deep in those Issues.

Pramod is a great man and many experienced teachers may be found at school.
