"Truely transformational"
Where to start? I loved that this school teaches the tradition, it is just what I was looking for. I deepened my knowledge of Yoga philosophy and I now know how to guide a class and assist students. The teachers were all great, very knowledgeable and masters of their own specialty.
Food was included, we were never hungry and they made sure we ate nutritious and delicious.
By living by the karma yoga approach the house was maintained in a harmonious way where interaction with the group was always nice and warm.
Last but not least, the house is beautiful, clean and bright, with an beautiful view and you feel it stores positive energy.
Thank you to Radhika and all the teachers for making this an unforgettable experience. I am so glad I decided to do my YTT with Gayatri.
P.S. Wheather is amazing most of the time, even if it is October/November!

"Amazing 200-hours teachers training experience!"
I've spent amazing three weeks in the magical Gayatri school!
I wasn't expecting that the house itself will be so beautiful. Located on a small uphill, with incredible views of the sea and mountains, the house is just 15 minutes walk to Super Dino, supermarket (there is also a small local start just 5 minutes walk from the school and close to all the buses.
The food was amazing, with Dani surprising us with delicious meals every night (hard to day which one I liked the most).
When it comes to the teachers, we had 4 wonderful teachers, completely different and unique in their own way. I loved how I was able to see different styles of teaching, and to see which parts I will also apply to my future classes. There was a lot of hands on adjustments shown. I saw and practice in some incredible sequenced classes. I feel ready to teach! :)
Lovely Radhika and Kiran also said we can always contact then again if we have problems with sequencing to anything else. I really felt sincerity in their words :)
But the most important part was the new yoga family I met on this journey. We had such a great atmosphere of support and kindness. Thank you all!

"Unvergesslicher, intensiver und lehrreicher Kurs"
Das Haus hat alles was man braucht, inklusiv eines Pooles. Es ist definitiv mit liebe zum Details eingerichtet und man fühlt sich wohl.
Der Koch zaubert immer ein gesundes Abendmahl.
Der Kurs ist zwar intensiv, aber sehr gut aufgebaut. jede Lehrperson hat ihren eigenen Style, sodass man von jedem was mitnehmen kann.
Die Energie im Gayatri ist einmalig und wunderschön. Niemand wollte nach Hause gehen, da sich unsere Seelen dort wohlgefühlt haben. Kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

The yoga sessions were inspiring and challenging. Carla is absolutely fantastic. I miss her most of all. The food was excellent. The installations very well decorated and organized. I would definitely recommend Gayatri to any woman wanting to deepen her life with yoga.

This teacher training was a great experience! I learned a lot and feel much more competent to start teaching now! I just graduated and am already applying for jobs and getting interviews. The teachers were all so knowledgeable and each had their own unique flare and teaching style, so I felt like I got a well rounded experience. Certainly it was worth the cost and I highly recommend it!

"200h Yoga Teacher Training Gayatri"
I spent three weeks at the Gayatri school for the 200h teacher training and loved every part of it. The house has such a special energy and you will find everything you need during your stay. We were lucky and had dinner cooked by the lovely and amazing Cinzia and her cooking skills are just wow!
The classes are well structured and have a good balance of Asana praxis, meditation, theory and I really enjoyed having the chance to practice a variety of yoga styles (e.g. Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Ashtanga..).
The teachers are so skilled and everyone of them brings in their own essence. I really loved their difference and how they taught us. I will miss the team and the amazing group we had so much.
You will definitely not regret going there! :)

If you want to deepen your knowledge and practice of all aspects of yoga this is the perfect place. The teachers are so dedicated and supportive and love to teach. It was indeed full on with long days of learning plus self-studying so don't expect to have much time outside of the school. This course was everything I had hoped for and I had an amazing time!

A full immersion, intense experience of a lifetime with ever-lasting memories. I'll be coming back for the 300hrs. Thank you Gayatri.

"Better than I could have ever imagined !!"
I'm so happy that i choose to do my YTT in Gayatri! All the teachers were amazing and were teaching from their heart. Doing a 200h YTT in 3 weeks is intense and you have full schedule, what can be exhausting at some points. However the teachers made the lessons fun and interesting and we learned so much knowledge about yoga and life in general.
After the training I feel really prepared to start teaching on my own.
The house is big and beautiful and everything was clean and tidy. It is located on a hill so that you can see the oceand and it has a nice pool. The center of the small town Tejina is just a few minutes walking distance and other towns or the ocean is easy reachable by bus (if you want to go there on a day off). The northern part of the island, where Gayatri is located, is also perfect for hikes, because the landscape is beautiful there.
I would totally recommend to do you YTT at Gayatri, you won't regret it :)

"If you want to do a ttc, this is what you want it to be like"
I absolutely loved everything about my experience at Gayatri. The schedule was perfectly balanced, so no one was injured by practicing yoga too much out of the blue. Also it was a good balance between theory and movement.
From the first day you start instructing and adjusting each other, so it’s very low key to step into the role of a teacher.
The house where we stayed was beautiful and had plenty of space for everyone to also have some private moments. The house is also taken very good care of by the gardener and the cleaning lady who comes every other day. Then we had Jess who kept an eye on the food, and made sure we always had plenty of delicious fresh food to cook with.
Last but not least the teachers are amazing. They all teach their own specialties, so they are in really passionate and professional in what they teach. Besides that, Karla Lilah, Aarti and Sonia are lovely women. I couldn’t have wished for better teachers.
Kiran and Radhika are more on the background, but always at your disposal if anything is needed. Radhika comes to the school once every week to have a group talk about anything we want to talk about. These talks have been really inspiring and it’s such a joy to pick her brain.
I am very grateful for this amazing experience. Hari Om Tat Sat <3

L'engagement des professeurs est tout à fait remarquable. On se sent directement accueilli, chez soi. Tout est mis en oeuvre pour nous permettre de retirer au maximum de l'expérience. Le cours se concentre aussi sur les aspects holistique et philosophique du yoga ce qui est très important comme il s'agit de comprendre dans quel démarche s'inscrit cette pratique.
Je tiens à remercier toute l'équipe de Gayatri pour ces trois semaines révélatrices et inoubliables.

"So much to learn"
The overall experience was good. I am glad for this journey of discovery, learning, and deepening my knowledge about yoga. The three teachers are experienced, with different styles and knowledge to share. I very much enjoyed the classes with Karla, her presence really made a difference in this course. So humble and so wise, she really is a master.
I would say this course is a good start, a good compromise between the spiritual and physical aspects of yoga.
We were only 11 students, this made it easier to interact with teachers and to follow classes. About the space: the house was clean and tidy and the space was quite harmonious.
The TT gets very intense, but being surrounded by nice and motivated students will make it possible :)

The passion with which Karla and Sonja teach really makes this training special and rewarding. They embody the philosophy, practice and spirit of yoga and transmit it with kindness, patience and love. I never thought those 3 weeks would have such a big impact on me, on how I see and understand life. It was hard work, tired evenings, sore body but so rewarding for my mental, physical and soul health. I was very lucky with my fellow students as well, I think I made friends for life at gayatri ! Living 24/7 with so many people filled with love, respect and open/positive mindsets was incredible!
The experience would not have been the same without those incredible beings!!

"Life changing experience & knowledge"
This really was an incredible journey. I bow with gratitude to each and every one person who created this teacher training program for us. I will carry this experience in my heart and soul for the rest of my life. The knowledge and learnings I have received are immense. Beyond asanas, how to teach, correct them and how structure class...we learned about pranayama, chakras, philosophy, what yoga really is and many more.
We had 3 teachers Aarti, Karla Lillah and Sonya as out main guides into the world of yoga. As well we were happy to have Kiiran and Radhika lead a few classes of theory and Bhakti Yoga. To learn from so many masters, to get perspective of all those different people was so valuable.
I stayed in a guest house of Lourdes with 5 other girls. It was heavenly really. Cozy, clean, home-like cottage. Lourdes took all the possible care of us and the house. The fridge was always full with freshest fruits and vegetables. All the products are provided by school and we just needed to cook for ourselves. We couldn't wish for more, really.
The schedule was really full, we studied nearly 10h a day, it was intense learning period, so full-filling and fascinating. We were emerged into the yogic lifestyle and it was a bliss.
Not only the certificate, you get an experience for life.

"Incredible experience; Highly recommend!"
I loved the whole experience. From the knowledgeable and highly skilled teachers to the school to the location to the food. I could not have wished for a better school to do my TTC at. The teachers are always there for you if you have a question, the training is in-depth, which means that you get a very good knowledge base in order to begin teaching immediately after the training has finished if you wish. The whole training is set up in a very intentional way, in which you can feel the integrity of and respect toward the traditions of yoga. During the three weeks, you really get to know everyone around you, and from the beginning, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, loving and non-judgemental. Thus, we had a fantastic support network during the whole training. During the micro lessons, we had the opportunity to teach our own classes to the group and were given fair feedback so that we can incorporate it into our real life classes after the training. The location is fantastic as well, with the beautiful Finca and the ocean and mountains nearby. All in all, it is definitely an intense experience as you learn a lot and practice (almost) every day and at the same time I have the feeling that the intensity of the training makes it that much more magical .. ♡

"So grateful for this magical experience!"
Radhika and Kiran, as well as Anand and Saskia, have created a magical environment, in which everyone can develop to become a great Yoga Teacher. The energy in the house is warm and loving. Within a short time this place really feels like home.
The three weeks of practice are intense, but all of the teachers help you every step of the way. Every single question is answered patiently. Recently they've built an outdoor classroom, that makes the hours of studying and practicing asanas even more enjoyable. The structure of the course is well thought through and really prepares you to go out and spread the knowledge and the love of Yoga.
Personally, I loved preparing food with all the easy students. Everybody contributed their personal recipes. Cooking and eating together created a feeling of family.
If you are open to being part of a transformational experience, I highly recommend this TTC.

If you’re considering a yoga teacher training, don’t look any further. I’ve learned SO much during my three weeks. It is intensiv, but absolutely worth it. You will be taught by the most amazing teachers, who are so passionate about their field that you can’t help but soak up all their knowledge. The people I’ve met during my stay are incredible and we had the best community during our stay. We cooked together, studied together and the support was unreal. Wether it was about preparing classes or personal topics - be prepared to make friends for life. The school itself is warm, beautiful and welcoming. Decorated with a lot of love and very clean - you will feel at Home so easily. I’m so glad I did my YTT at Gayatri and would always do it again if I could! Thank you so much to Kiran, Anand and Radhika!

"Life-changing "
The reviews on here already say enough, but I just had to add another one. These reviews really can't put into words what this teacher training has meant for me and I am continually amazed at people who walk with so much compassion through this world, genuinely serving others.
You'll work hard and it will be worth it. Anand is such a kind and knowledgeable teacher, I think I have really grasped for the first time what the commonalities between the asanas are, how I can assist others and really give people the opportunity to get the benefits from all their practice. Such a giving soul.
Kiran is pure Love, bhakti yoga and devotion is such an essential part of this path and he can really bring that love out that brought you to yoga in the first place.
Radhika is such a force of nature and one of the most inspiring people I've met in my life. She is a mother to her students, a teacher, a human being, a true yogini.
I've made friends for life. The people in the TTC and the teachers will become your family.
Be there with all you've got, don't hesitate, give 100% and you will get 1000%. I wish the TTC would've been a year long, at least! All the love in the world <3

"Worth every penny for this beautiful experience!"
I can not speak highly enough about this course. The whole experience was so much better than I could have expected. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, kind and patient. The accomodation is impeccable and really the pictures do not do it justice. Im rather annoying when it comes to these things and I have to say I felt super comfortable, safe and just happy to enjoy the beautiful space away from the city. Although there is no catering and you cook your own meals, there is always an abundance of healthy fresh food and enough space for everyone to comfortably cook together. In terms of the learning its self, i felt it was super complete. We all had the opportunity to teach several times, and although this can be scary at first it is super important. Loved the opportunity to receive real feedback about each class and improve for the next. I really enjoyed this experience so much, feeling confident to start teaching ASAP and hope to stay in contact with all the lovely people I met.

It was exactly what I was hoping my 200hr TTC would be and I cannot say enough good things about this experience, this place, or its amazing teachers.

"Look no further!"
If you arrived on this page, look no further. You won't regret going to Gayatri Yoga for your YTT.
Radhika, Kiran and Anand are incredible teachers, with in-depth knowledge about anything Yoga-related, from alignment to breathing techniques, to how to live a more conscious, happier life. Above all, they are lovely human beings who will make you feel supported and valued in your yoga teacher journey. From day one, you can tell how much they truly care about giving their students the highest possible value they can, so much so that they are happy to answer any further questions or doubts in between classes.
It was like being part of a big family and I could have not asked for better souls to share this journey with, from the teachers to my fellow yoginis.
Thank you, Radhika, Kiran and Anand for such a life-changing experience.

"The most loving experience "
Wow. My 21 days at Gayatri will stay with me forever. This school is the most loving and beautiful place to live. I've never been happier or smiled more surrounded by such incredible people. Radhika is like a mother who nurtured us every single moment of the day, she made us laugh every hour and made the entire school feel like home. Anand honoured discipline to the perfect level - motivating us to push our boundaries and uncover layers of muscles I didn't know existed, whilst making us smile and sometimes cry with beautiful meditations. It's impossible not to smile around Kiran, every moment with him was a joy (even the exam).
Gayatri has bought the traditions and knowledge from India to Europe and built an INCREDIBLY high standard of school. There was more knowledge given than I ever expected and they delivered it in such a beautiful and inspiring way. Rhadika bought us fresh fruit and veg and Amazing food every day, we had an abundance of delicious ingredients. The house is stunning and beds were very comfortable.
Every day made me feel like I was part of something magical and that's the only way I can summarise my time here in 1 word - pure, blissful magic.
I wish I could move in forever and feel this love and light every day but the school made me feel more ready than ever to share each part of yoga with the world and what a beautiful thing to share.
Thank you so much to the Gayatri family, for the most incredible 3 weeks. I'm eternally grateful

"Super intense, spiritual and mind-blowing"
Really beautiful place, the house the rooms and the gardens looked amazing, bright and shiny. Lots of little chillout/study areas. The teachers really make it a home for you, and the whole atmosphere feels very welcoming.
The course is quite intense (as it's meant to be) so you do need to be a quick study and use every moment wisely. There definitely is no time for slacking off. The lessons are packed full of information, Radhika really shares so many interesting stories during the philosophy lessons and knows a lot about how to handle the students, what it takes to run a business as a yoga teacher and how to take care of everyone in your class. Kiran was very supportive and has a very interactive way of teaching, asking for everyone's opinion and encouraging us to help each other. He clearly has a lot of experience and knows how help bring out the best in you. Anand is an excellent trainer, he always keeps track of everybody in the room, swiftly correcting everyone in their posture, and takes a lot of care in doing so. He really knows his stuff when it comes to alignment and how to safely assist your students. He shared soooo much knowledge with us, wish I had more hands to write it all down! He explained everything perfectly and held his own quite well when being bombarded with questions from all directions! Tried my best to soak every bit of info I could.
Three weeks really have flown by, it's going to take me a while to fully digest everything I learnt!

"They don’t call it intensive for nothin’ :) incredible time."
With any experience in life, you get out what you put in. Are you willing to show up for yourself and your ttc sisters? Yay! Keep reading. The traditional knowledge of theory, lifestyle, movement was shared from the deepest place of compassion from Rhadika, Kiran and Anand. The house in Tenerife is a communal home space filled with love, transparency, light and support — if you are looking for a large group of students, private chef(having someone else always cook for you), several off days and little hands on teaching prep, this ttc may not be the best fit for you.
HOWEVER; If you are open and willing to bond, create, encourage, accept helpful feedback, cook yummy meals alongside a small group of authentic folks, this most certainly will be a good fit. I personally struggle with intensive course type learning, but I can say this TTC was the most incredible milestone of not only my yogic path, yoga teaching path, but life path in general; feeling readily prepared to be my most confident educated self. Quality over quantity as it is a total of 3 weeks.. but it does not fall short of preparation. Quick mention of gorgeous nature surroundings, clean living environment, and such a fun bright light time! I adore my yogini sisters, my teachers who feel like family, and the beautiful chance I had of unlearning untrue parts of myself,connecting with the genuine parts of myself as every single person during this ttc encouraged the growth of! Hari Om Tat Sat. Xx

Going to do the TTC at the Gayatri School was the best decision of my life. I felt like in a family for 21 days. I learned so much over these three weeks and the teachers are so professional and so prepared that they really make you feel that after the course you can teach and spread the love for this wonderful discipline all over the world. The organisation is great from the Hatha and Vinyasa classes to the theorical lessons and the food and the bedrooms and the location is so nice and we also had the time to explore a little bit the stunning Island of Tenerife.
I leave this place with amazing memories, loads of new friends and inspired more then ever to keep following my yoga dream. If you are thinking to do the TTC I highly recommend you to go there. Gayatri school is magical!

"Best combination of professional school and loving home!"
All these reviews say it already, this is a really special place and a great choice when you’re serious about becoming a yoga teacher! You’ll not only learn a lot about tradition, philosophy and holistic health but also about yourself. This YTT is a group project from the beginning and Rhadika, Kiran and Anand do their best to really bring the group together. They’re great teachers and loving hosts for a three week period that feels like a separate life in itself.
Rhadika really is the great mother of this place and infects everyone with her love, light and positivity. Kiran is a smile in person and the perfect match between a strict teacher and a funny dad. Anand is a true inspiration, his guided meditations and the way he talks about body and mind will stick with me and my teaching.
Be open and you’ll receive so much in these three weeks, I can only repeat what others have written here. Write Rhadika a mail and you’ll not regret it, I promise 🙏
Love and light from Berlin! (No idea why I can’t change my country to Germany here)

They are incredibly dedicated and committed to providing the very highest quality of learning experiences for their students. The accomodation is very comfortable, clean and in a lovely location. The selection of food available is plentiful and good, local, fresh produce is provided daily. I am so grateful to Radhika, Kiran and Anand for inspiring and supporting me on my journey to becoming a Yoga Teacher

"The most transformative three weeks of my entire life!"
I can not put into words how incredible this yoga teacher training was. It is so much more than a teacher training. You not only leave with an immense amount of knowledge to become the best yoga teacher you can be, but you also leave as a better person than when you arrived. Each day at Gayatri was filled with such happiness, motivation, positivity, and love. Radhika cares so deeply for her students and provides them with more knowledge than any typical yoga training. She truly gives the shirt off her back for us and radiates with love. During our theory lessons, I gained so much knowledge, not just about yoga, but about LIFE. Kiran is very disciplined in his yoga practice and gives you the best feedback to improve your teachings. He is also SO kind and funny. Anand is a ray of light and love, and gives the most incredible lessons not just by teaching us the correct way, but by example of how he leads them himself. The way this course is structured, you are given everything and more that you could possibly need to become the best yoga instructor that you can be. In regard to food, they buy SO much food for everyone and no matter what diet you have, you will be able to eat everything you could want and more. Lastly, Tenerife is such a special place. I connected to it in such a big way, and I know I will be back soon.

"Serious about teaching? Learn with Gayatri!"
My three weeks at Gayatri Yoga have been exceptional and I can’t recommend this course more highly. Every aspect of the course is covered so thoroughly, you leave feeling confident, fully informed, ready and excited to teach. But beyond the practice of asanas, yogic philosophy and teaching practice you feel so loved and supported throughout the process. This is thanks to the wonderful team: Radhika, Kieron and Anand, who each give 100% in their chosen discipline. Absolutely nothing was too much for them. This was my second TTC and I would say if you’re serious about teaching, this is the place to do it. Thank you Radhika for creating an exceptional course, in a beautiful space with such love and passion. It has truly been one of the best experiences of my life. Wahe Guru!

"The best spent 3 weeks of my life!"
From my very first contact with Radhika at Gayatri Yoga, I had a feeling that this was a special place for learning and growing. But the actual 3 weeks I have spent here blew me away! I have grown so much as a person, gained so much in-depth knowledge about Yoga, have made lifelong friendships, and feel more than ready to teach and give my love for the practice of Yoga to others. You gave us everything that we needed, felt just at home in your house, and the pool was a big bonus on hot days :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Radhika, Kiran, and Anand of course for our amazing practical classes. Hari Om ❤️🧘♀️🌱

Radhika was so passionate about teaching us, she made sure everyone understood each lesson before we went on to the next subject. Gorgeous location, even the locals were so nice to us! Absolutely recommend coming here, it's worth every penny!

"Life changing experience "
I really enjoyed the time that went into mirco lessons. I loved the location and I love that we cooked food as a group . it was a great way to bond together. I enjoyed the yoga and really appreciate all my yoga teachers . Anand who taught us most of the yoga posture alignments,meditation techniques and sequences was amazing . He went into depth on various ways on how to do the postures to avoid injury and brought some great knowledge to the table about the body , fitness and modern day yoga . He always gave extra time into discussing vital things that are happening with yoga today and some inspiring figures in the industry. He spoke about spirituality without being left with the feeling that someone was trying to convince you of their beliefs . He was what every teacher should be , give knowledge and share experience but ultimately leave your students to make up their own mind. Very cool guy.

"Perfecte opleiding met enorm veel kennis en kunde! "
Het persoonlijke aspect, de fijne sfeer en het prettige schema. Ze stonden altijd voor je klaar met een grote glimlach. Hier leer je waar het bij yoga omgaat. Alles is ook netjes, schoon en prachtig ingericht. Tip: boek een heerlijke massage!

"Fantastisch"
Alles war super! Die Gastgeber sind alle äußerst herzlich und kümmernd, die Ausbildung ist sehr umfangreich, detailliert und informativ. Alles wurde anschaulich vermittelt. Man wird bestens auf die Prüfung vorbereitet und hat in vielen "Microlessons" die Möglichkeit, sich langsam damit vertraut zu machen, was man als Lehrer können und wissen muss.
Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt und liegt in idyllischer grüner Umgebung. Das nächste Dorf ist nur einen kurzen Spaziergang entfernt und zum Strand in Bajamar sind es nur wenige Minuten mit dem Bus.
Sehr empfehlenswert!

"The perfect TTC experience. "
I couldn't have hoped for a better TTC.
Radhika, Kieran and Anand create a wonderful learning environment, with a perfect balance between encouragement but also challenging me to be the best I can be. Radhika's passion and depth of knowledge is endless. It's so clear she loves to teach and share her knowledge with you.
The days were well organised with a good balance of practical, theory and self study time. The daily teaching practice means you come away with the skills to safely teach your own class with confidence.
The house, food and location all added to the beautiful supportive learning experience that is Gayatri.

"Most beautiful experience"
This TTC was just mind-blowing! Thank you Radhika, Kiran and Anand for all the knowledge you shared with us. Great teachers - everything they said and taught really came from their hearts and they are such caring people who really made sure that we were always feeling good. The food that was provided was so fresh and of such good quality that we could not stop eating haha - Radhika and Kiran always made sure that we had everything we needed in the house.
To keep it short: I found a new family in tenerife and I could not have imagined better teachers than Radhika, Kiran and Anand
Thank you <3

"Simply an amazing and wonderful experience. "
An organized and complete syllabus, led by a highly experienced teacher with wisdom and humour. Practical sessions challenged me and took me out of my comfort zone but ultimately, gave me personally, great results and a feeling of enormous achievement. The food was very good and always plenty of it and the location is quite charming, with very good facilities. A totally life-changing experience.

"The perfect TCC!"
Radhika and Kiran are lovely hosts and they teached us with love and a lot of experience. I cannot imagine theres a better place to become a Yoga teacher. The Groups are small and the lessons very personally, so we had a wonderful time together in this shared apartment.
The yoga lessons with Anand were professional and lovely aswell. It was one of the best expierence of my life and I'm Looking forward to meet again sometimes :-)

"I couldn't have hoped for a better TTC!"
What an amazing experience! We learned so much in 3 weeks, it definitely went over my expectations. Radhika is a never ending well of knowledge! Anand's classes were awesome and gave us a nice sweat when needed! Kiran was always there to help and give us advice and encouragement during our classes.
We started teaching after only 3 days there! By the end, we all had more and enough teaching experience to feel confident to teach straight away when back home. I can't believe we covered every thing we needed and more in only 20 days.
The three teachers were the kindest and the best, they always took extra time to make sure we understood everything, or to go in more depth into a particular topic.
Radhika and Kiran's house is beautiful, the pictures on the web don't do it justice. The sunsets were breathtaking too and there are different little spots you can hang out to study or relax by yourself or with friends. They also were so sweet and made sure we always had everything we needed all the time. Such sweethearts!
Our group of 7 people got along perfectly, thanks also to simple house rules given at the beginning of our stay. The group size is ideal for a TTC, it really gives the teachers the opportunity to adjust the teaching to each student. Loved it!
All in all, it was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend anyone to go for it, you won't be disappointed!

"Most amazing time"
The teacher training at Gayatri was a wonderful experience and I had such a great time! The house is wonderful, the teachers are just great, loving and knowledgable. They do everything to make you feel comfortable and really do this with all their hearts and compassion.
You start teaching a small group already after a few days, which is great!! Even though you are a complete newbie teacher after this training, doing those micro lessons helps you to get some experience and the feeling of how to be a yoga teacher.
Loved to be in a small group. It makes you feel safer and doing the new things less scary. The teachers there motivate you and helps you to feel safe as well.
You learn a lot about yourself during this time. So it is also a great course if you just want to get a deeper knowledge and practice of yoga as well.
I highly recommend Gayatri and would go back anytime.
Om Shanti Om.

"Very unique and lovely experience!"
The teachers Radhika, Kiran and Anand are so lovely, always there for everyone and really care about their students. They are happy to share all their knowledge and I could not have wished for better teachers to learn from. The house is the nicest place to stay, Radhika and Kiran provide all the yogic food one could wish for, you definitely won`t be hungry at any time ;) I would definitely always recommend the Gayatri Yoga School to anyone who is looking for a unique experience and I am so happy that I chose this place for doing my TTC.

"One of the best things you will ever do! "
I’m so glad I chose to complete my TTC with Gayatri Yoga.
If your looking for a course that will give you; a wealth of information about Yoga, maximum hands on teaching time & a beautiful nurtureing environment to teach in then this is also the place for you.
Please be aware if you are looking for somewhere that treats Yoga just as a fitness class this isn’t the place, but if your mind is open you could receive something much more special. I would recommend this course to anyone that loves their practice and wants to deepen their understanding! Expect to work hard! Thank you 😊

An amazing experience that I will always remember. I learnt so much and am looking forward to now sharing my knowledge.

"Everything is done with love "
This Hatha yoga TTC was amazing, I came away confident that I can now go and spread the practice of yoga, it is very intense and it is a lot to learn over the 23 days but now I can see why as the knowledge I have learnt gives me a fabulous base to go on and teach and to explore different yoga avenues always staying true to the base of Hatha yoga, I also learnt a lot about myself with the help of the fabulous family of teachers, they have a real passion to pass on the knowledge and they do it all with Love..highly recommend to all of you out there willing to put the work in to achieve the highest standard of teaching 🧘♀️

"Amazing yoga teacher training! "
Everything about this teacher training was wonderful: the house was clean, bright and comfortable, in a relaxing location suitable for learning, the teachers (Radikha, Kiran and Anand) were warm, knowledgeable and inviting, the course itself was well designed, challenging and with an emphasis on all pillars of yoga (mind, body, spiritual).
Radikha and Kiran bought the groceries, which were always amazing and fresh. I ate the best fruit I’ve ever had in my life! And they were very attentive to our dietary needs. I much preferred cooking my own food (with the groceries they bought) than having pre-made meals. It meant All members of the course could cater to their own requirements and tastes, and we often cooked together.
The course itself is intense (~8 hours a day, 6 days a week), so do not expect a holiday. It was work but very enjoyable, meaningful and I now feel confident to teach my own students.
The environment fostered a great sense of cohesion amongst all the students and we’ve forged strong friendships.
I hope to be able to visit everyone again in the future!

"Incredible TTC"
I have had the most incredible month studying for my TTC in Gayatri Yoga and could not recommend it more!
The teachers Radhika and Kiran were amazing: full of love and truly devoted to their subject. The course was very well structured and taught; very informative study material, plenty of practical lessons; us students always felt looked after and welcome, the house was incredibly clean and tidy. We were always supplied with fresh food supplies and could use the yoga studio to practise whenever we wanted which made the learning process easier.
I feel more than ready to teach my own students now and could not thank Gayatri Yoga enough!
Love,
Jaya
