"A truly transformative experience!"
We had 5-6 classes per day: 3 in the morning and 2-3 in the afternoon. All the teachers are so knowledgeable, kind, and supportive. One of my favorite classes was Pranayama class when we were taken next to river Ganga. Upendra Guru Ji was one of my favorite teachers. I also loved meditation classes where I can learn different meditation techniques.
The food here is SO good. There are variety of choices of Indian food and the menu was changed every day. Local fruits are easily got near the school. The café next door is also a good idea for Sundays eating out.
The accommodation is good and safe. You can ask for more blankets if you needed. Laundry service is provided on request. I wished I could have more classes taught by Sir Arvind though.
I made more friends in the school. We learn together, eat together. Sometimes we walked to the river for ginger "chai". We talked we laughed and those sweet memories will be forever in my heart.

"Kein Retreat im eigentlichen Sinn"
Die Menschen, die ich dort kennenlernen durfte, waren sehr angenehm! Sie absolvierten alle das 200 oder 300 YTT. Die Lage und das Essen waren super!

"Excellent introduction to Yoga"
Overall my experience was really positive, but the two things really stood out for me were:
Firstly, the caring and supportive energy of the teachers and Cheena as coordinator. This was really grounding during an at times intense learning experience, and I felt supported and safe. It set an aspirational example of the spiritual benefits of the yogic path. This lesson was at least as valuable as the curriculum teaching.
Secondly, the teaching was excellent. All of the teachers are fantastic yogis and it was beautiful to watch each of their practices and hear all of their experiences and perspectives on yoga. I appreciated their openness and authenticity which was incredibly inspiring. I found each teacher set a good balance of pushing me, and understanding when I needed rest, which made me feel safe and able to listen to my body and push my boundaries whilst respecting my limitations.

"Best Yoga Center in Rishikesh"
Being already a Yoga practitioner but was still able to learn from the teachers was a things that I was not expecting. It was truly amazing that how small things can really help us in finding the posture with the right alignment. It was so amazing how the experience of the teacher helped me in finding the right way to do the asana even when I myself is a practitioner and that is why I loved the best about the school. the teachers are really really good and have a lot of experience. Also the garden was very peaceful. we sat during the evenings. I am going to miss my time here. I will definitely will be coming again.

Coming to India was a dream come true and staying with Gurukul Yogashala Ashram was even better as my experience here was tremendous. I had leant a lot of new things about the asanas, Pranayama, Meditation. It was a great experience. The place is amazing. There was so much peace all around. Everyone was so good always ready to help to make our stay more comfortable. What I think that everyone should at least come and see by themselves that what they are going to get is beyond imagination. I loved the food also. The stay was comfortable and every teacher here is the best. They have so much knowledge and always want to share the knowledge with us to help us in any way they can. I am really happy that I came here. Thank you all.

"Best Yoga School in Rishikesh for Teacher Training Course"
Coming to Rishikesh to have an understand of Yoga and local culture was the right decision. I was not expecting much but to be proven wrong really felt good. I had a great time during each and every class at Gurukul Yogashala. What blew my mind was how organized the classes were and the experience of the teachers. I am a beginner in Yoga and all the classes really helped me in understand the holistic way of life. The food was amazing as I really like Indian Cuisine. Made a lots of new memories and taking back with me lots of experience. I would definitely come back to deepen my practice. I really the asana classes and meditation classes. I would recommended Gurukul Yogashala for everyone to come and experience the traditional form of Yoga.

I dont usually write reviews but one thing is for sure that made me to write my experience for Gurukul Yogashala is that the teachers are amazing and are highly qualified. They have so much knowledge that I have decided to come back again to deepen my knowledge and practice. I had a complimentary Ayurveda personal session and that helped me a lot with the right knowledge to lead a healthier life. It was such a wonderful session. The place is really peaceful and amazing. Overall I had a great time here. The people are amazing always helping us out to make our stay more comfortable. The place is so peaceful with beautiful lawn that helps us to unwind at the end of the day. The food was really delicious and served hot all the time. In all I had a great time and would like to come back again in future

"Une experience qui change la vie"
La chose la plus importante, c'est selon moi la qualité de l'enseignement, et il était EXCELLENT. Les professeurs sont très à l'écoute, disponibles et très compétents. J'ai l'impression d'avoir beaucoup progressé durant ce mois chez Gurukul Yogashala.
L'école est très jolie, bien située, dans un quartier calme.
Les cours étaient variés : on ne pratique pas que des asanas. Nous avons étudié l'anatomie, l'Ayurveda, la philosophie, le pranayama...
Cheena, qui organise tous les séjours, est toujours réactive et répond à nos besoins dès qu'elle le peut.
Je me suis toujours sentie en sécurité.
Enfin, l'ambiance était superbe : de nombreuses raisons poussent des personnes très différentes venant des 4 coins du monde à aller faire du yoga dans la ville où cette discipline est née. Les discussions et la philosophie du groupe était très inspirants.

"Best Yoga School in Rishikesh"
Just one word - awesome!! I had an experience that is very difficult to put in words. I was quite skeptical about this since my last experience in Rishikesh with some other school was not great! But this school was recommended by one of my friend that is why I came. And it was the best decision I made. The ambience of the school is so good. The people are very friendly and I think their motto of Happy to help is actually true. All the staff members are really helpful to make our stay more comfortable. I really liked all the classes. I think all the teacher are amazing and have well in-depth knowledge. They really help us out to get better in every way. The food was very delicious and I really like Indian Cuisine. Being a solo traveller all the time I know the importance of safety and school is a very safe place only the persons who are allowed are the students and staff members. I think I should mention that it was by far the best experience I had in Rishikesh and I learned a lot. Would definitely come back again.

"Best Yoga School in Rishikesh "
It seems that my time there at Gurukul Yogashala should have never ended!! I started missing the place as soon as my stay ended there. What should I say? I think the words come short if I start to describe my experience. It was heart-warming. Everyone was sooo good welcoming all of us with open arms, always ready to help us out. The classes were amazing - the asana class especially the hatha yoga class I loved the most. I really learned a lot from all the teachers. It was like it doesn't matter whether you are practicing for a long time or not you will still learn a lot of things.
What's my favourite thing is the culture and the ambience where we stayed. It's so peaceful without any noise of cars overlooking the Himalayan Mountain with a beautiful garden area I loved so so much sitting there relaxing in the evenings. The food was truly exceptional especially to me as I was a hardcore non-vegetarian before I joined and I imagined I would have to eat outside but the food was so delicious. I really enjoyed my time here. I am going to miss everyone from Gurukul Yogashala. See you again next time!!

"One of the best schools to learn Yoga "
Thank you Gurukul Yogashala You have changed my life for the better. On one of my trip to Thailand some of my friends suggested that I should Visit Rishikesh to have an experience in Yoga. And that was the best decision I made. I enjoyed so much like I stepped into a new world. With Gurukul Yogashala it was like I dived into different culture that I enjoyed a lot. Sharing the culture with us and Inviting us with open arms like a family was a feeling of home. The teachers are amazing have a lot of in-depth knowledge. Being a cook myself I can say Food was very delicious. I really loved the ambiance here. It was so peaceful with proper security that we never felt like I am staying away from my home.
I had a great it was much much more that i expected. I would say everyone should just come here once and experience on their own the culture and yoga at Gurukul Yogashala. I will definitely will come back to delve deepen into my practice.

Incredible!!
It was so much more than what I had expected. I had a really great experience with Gurukul Yogashala. My goal was to connect with myself through yoga and that happened because of the incredible teachers at Gurukul Yogashala especially all the classes
They were in contact with me from the beginning helping with my bookings then connecting with me if I needed any support for the transportation or any help for my travels.
The place had a great security as nobody was allowed in the premises apart from the students. I felt quite safe and secure being there as it really felt like a home in India.
All the classes were immensely interactive and all the teachers were incredibly supportive and had in-depth knowledge of Yoga. Even as a practitioner I learned a lot of new things about myself.
The place has a beautiful garden I really enjoyed spending my time there with other participants. Food was sooo good. And in India sometimes it was difficult to find food without spices but here the food was without spices and was very delicious.
Taking lots of memories back with me. Gonna come back again!!
