Gyan Yog Breath

I wish to thank Vipin and Anki for making my first experience in India so enjoyable. The 4 weeks of the 300hr course is a full immersion into Hatha and Asthanga Yoga, Meditation techniques, Yoga philosophy and anatomy, Pranayama and so much more. The culture! The environment, the the weather, the food, the crazy, easy going nature of Indian people… This experience is so much more than just Yoga Certification Course. It’s a course in miracles. We all arrive from different countries, with different pasts, but we have all been guided here and now together to all learn how to be present and trust that we will be guided to the perfect future.

I come to India for a new life changing experience and enjoyed a 300 hours yoga teacher training at Gyan Yog Breath, Rishikesh. I learn things I never thought I could learn as Emotional Unblocking and I get a good ground for meditation.The teachers are true yogis, always ready to explain, sharing their knowledge and also pushing you trough all limits in the best possible way.The most rewarding and challenging experience was practicing Ashtanga, as I never did it before.

What I have gained in this course is priceless, an experience I would not have got elsewhere. I am so happy to have been part of this teacher training! My heart is know open to embrace yoga for ever.

I would recommend this school as a good investment in personal development.

Namaste! I have successfully completed my 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training Course with Gyan Yog Breath on March 29, 2017. The beautiful time in Rishikesh I will never forget. Dear Vipin, dear Anki, Thank you for your hospitality, your kindness and wisdom. Our whole group felt very much "home" with you. Our meals (always freshly prepared and delicious) and our weekend trips balanced out the hard work at Yoga practice. I am very impressed of the strict, friendly, corrective, aware and joyful teachers during the course. Thank you Vipin for the intense classes (sometimes also painful from emotional release). Thank you Ekin for all the interesting and interactive philosophy lessons. Thank you Kamal, Vinay and Monu for the great and perfect yoga classes. I have become a better person and also a better yoga teacher. You all and India Have fascinated me and I am already planning to do another course with you. Many greetings and love from Natalie.

It was amazing experience being at Gyan Yog Breath. It says that if we want something and if we ask to God , he gives us . I always wanted to see inner natural beauty and always wanted to travel the world but the day I entered at Gyan Yog Breath, I travelled the entire world, the entire world was in one building, people and myself. I spent a month learning and going beyond my ideal together with different people from different countries speaking Different languages. Every day was different and full of self exploration. The Visit to Ganga and waterfalls were unforgettable moments of my life. Thank you Swamiji, Ankiji and everyone for everything. I am living my dream ! Really grateful for everyone and everything!

I highly recommend this school. It is easy to get drowned in the multitude of yoga school options in Rishikesh. After looking around for a month for a school I decided on this one. The caliber of teachers are excellent. The location is beautiful. The atmosphere created by Swami, teachers and staff facilitates learning and self growth. The ashram location is a great spot to be, very close to the beach. One of my fondest memories, is sitting next to Ganga beach right next to ashram on a full moon night with friends from Gyan Yog Breath. The food is also very good, if you enjoy Indian food. If not, there are countless restaurant options, nearby. The education offered here is all encompassing, there are many schools in Rishikesh but this one is building a good reputation due to its hard work. Be open to all that is, accept and know that you are in good hands.

I loved India even before I visited it, I was attracted to the beautiful nature, the unique culture and history, after I got to India I didn't love it , I was in love with it, Rishikesh, rishikesh is described as the world capital of yoga, and I get to feel it, the peaceful ambiance, friendliness, people greeting u with Namaste all around , smiling faces, calmness, but the best is this yoga school Gyan Yog Breath, this is not a school for me anymore, its a second home, where you can learn and enjoy learning about yoga from the amazing teachers, their sense of humor, their clear and smooth instructions , the care they have for the students, you enjoy the classes and it feels like wanting to stay in class all day ! But we can't, because we have to eat! and here comes the food , the breakfast , lunch and dinner, the meals u can't miss, even if u r not hungry ! The delicious various, complete, healthy food, provided for everyone , anything u need u can ask anyone of the staff, helpful respectful, friendly, always smiling, and I can't wait to go back to the yoga hall, always clean, large, with a tremendous view of the ganga river, u can stay there all day, and feel the positive energy all around, just contemplating the mother ganga, gives me serenity, all the stress and anxiety is gone by just looking at it or just sit on the edge, this journey has been the best most rewarding experience I have had, and I would like to thank swami vipin for making it possible, and all the amazing teachers, one by one, this will not be the end, its the beginning of a beautiful journey with gyan yog breathand rishikesh. Namaste.

I have had such a wonderful time in Rishikesh, and a big part of the reason is because of this yoga school. I've come to both trust and respect my teachers, and will remember all of their kind words, their enthuasiasm about yoga (and life) and encouragement. I cannot thank the entire staff enough for how much I have learned from them, as they are all so knowledgeable and patient with all their students- myself included, as I am not always the easiest to teach (haha).

The food was fresh and light, perfect for the course. I woke up every morning so excited about the beautiful fruits that are served for breakfast. I had a great time on our outing with everyone- the cave, beach and waterfall were all gorgeous and enlightening. Taking my first dip in the Ganga was something I'll never forget. Thanks for the memories!

Hi, My name is Mike, I am 38 years old and completed the February 2017 Gyan Yog Breath TTC. I am writing this brief review as I suspect it will be those who are deciding who to book their course with that will be reading this, hello if that is you :)

The team behind this yoga school are second to none, their knowledge depth is outstanding, their passion and love for their students is pure and the contents of the schedule will give you far more than you expect from a TTC. Aside from becoming a yoga teacher, you will learn far more about yourself and a way of living and thinking that transforms both your mind and body, I cannot stress enough how much of a bonus the 'Emotional Blockage Treatment' is in comparison to other courses, whether you wish to be a yoga teacher or somebody who exploring themselves to anyone who has endured challenges in their life that don't seem to be resolvable, this course is for you, it is the greatest gift you could give to yourself.

The other bonus is the team, they care for you and will bend over backwards to make sure you are in the place you want to be during this course, they are my extended family!

Be assured that what you read here is real and I have been through this process, otherwise known as the power of transformation!

Namasté :)

After a long time carrying inside the inner wanting to experience a month of teacher training course, I finally did at The Gyan Yog Breath, where I felt genuineness and warmth. The course was for me truly amazing and I’m so grateful to the universe to have guided me to Gyan Yog Breath . All different parts of the course were like golden treasures that were unfolded to us - from the beautiful Hatha classes, acupressure treatment called Emotional Blockage treatment, some Ashtanga, amazing philosophy classes, a little Ayurveda, meditation classes, anatomy and more - all with so genuine and knowledgeable gurus. This experience is nothing I will put on the shelf on the wall for looking nice, but something that for me is to be lived and inhabited in every second. Why I also ended up doing my course in this very place, happily and blissfully enough.

This month at Gyan Yog Breath has flown by! So much to learn in such a short time but it doesn’t feel like work as much as a wonderful learning experience. Gyan Yog Breath’s Hatha Yoga Teacher Training curriculum challenges the student to push beyond their perceived emotional, physical, and spiritual limits to reach a place of strength, character, and self confidence that will continue on into the rest of their life. Out of all the yoga schools here in Rishikesh, I know I have chosen the right one. Thank you Gyan Yog Breath for being exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. I know my life is much improved and I look forward to sharing everything I have learned with the world. Namaste!

Where to start.. First, I’m so thankful I somehow chose this place, this TTC, this teachers and that these people here chose the same time as I did -call it a coincidence or destiny- I’m just so thankful. From the first day, Anki, Vipin and their amazing team made me feel so good. I felt understood. The pressures of my western every day life slowly peeled of of my body.. Only because the emotional blockage treatments go very deep, I could go much deeper than ever before into myself, my problems and my future path. It really helped me to relieve a lot of old stress and pain from my body.

Now I just cant get enough of Hatha Yoga lessons here with Kamal & Anki (and teaching is allso such a nice feeling!) & the discussions and storys in Yoga Philosofie with Ekin. The freedom to ask questions about life & love. Actually I’ll really miss all of that. And I really don’t want to go back home. I recommend to everyone: if you come here for the TTC, stay some more weeks to digest everything, don't rush back into your ‘old life’.

The full schedule here makes me stay in the moment – because there is not much time to think about the future or anything. Everything I’ve learned here is just starting to really flower in my head and heart. I wish so much more people in the world would make the decision to come here, try to get closer to themselves and to what really matters in life. The world would be a little better I’m sure. Thanks to all the people I got to know the last weeks. Namaste!

I really enjoyed my time with Gyan Yog Breath and am very happy that I decided to do my 200 hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training with them in Rishikesh. The whole team is very friendly and instantly make you feel welcome and part of something special.

When I arrived in India, my main focus was yoga and meditation, however as the TTC progressed, I found myself really drawn to yoga philosophy. The biggest benefit for me was what I learned more about myself – I left India with more clarity on life and the confidence and excitement to teach all that I have learned, back home.

Vipin and Anki are great hosts, all the teachers are great, and the yoga is the best I’ve experienced. Vipin’s meditation needs to be experienced… words can’t describe how you feel after the meditation. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Gyan Yog Breath for Hatha Teacher Training in India.

I was recommended Gyan Yog Breath by a good friend of mine who was drawn to their emotional blockage training and after some messages with Vipin and Anki, the owners of Gyan, I quickly realized that this is the place that I wanted to complete my 200 hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training.

The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a challenging course but I came away with so much to take home with me. I really enjoyed yoga philosophy, yoga therapy, and the yoga classes – all the teachers offered different insights to yoga and how it should be practiced, which was wonderful to experience.

I highly recommend Gyan Yog Breath to anyone who’s looking for a 200 hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Course. You will be taught by some of the best teachers in Rishikesh and learn so much about yourself, in the process.

Gyan Yog Breath is a very unique and special place. My experience here, over one month, has opened my mind and my heart in countless ways. Having completed the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training has not only shown me what my physical body is capable of, but has helped me to become a strong and confident individual. I was in the course with six more students and we were very well taken care of. For westerners coming without any other experience to India, it is a very comfortable way to arrive. At the Centre, any sort of help is available 24/7 and the food here is prepared with love and care in a hygienic manner. Also, the program is very comprehensive. In such a short amount of time, I was able to understand so much about yogic philosophy, as well as practice. My month with Vipin, Anki, Pankaj and Kamal has helped me on my path to becoming a safe and effective yoga teacher. Rishikesh is also a beautiful place to spend some time. A very holy place, right on the banks of the Ganga River. Rishikesh is a properly Indian place where one can still find some western comforts. Plus, there is a bounty of natural beauty here, with countless waterfalls in the area, beautiful jungle and views of the Himalayas. My time here has affected my life in a very profound and positive way!

Gyan Yog Breath in Rishikesh has been an exceptional and a life changing experience - mentally, physically and spiritually. I did my 200 hours with a small group of beautiful people from all over the globe. Rishikesh is magical but what's makes the experience even more beautiful is the talented teachers, staff and the aura in the yoga school. It's been incredibly transformational for myself. Even after the course, life is different all together. Surrendering at every moment is the core of learning.

I have really enjoyed my time at Gyan Yog Breath. I have completed my 200 hour YTT. All the teachers were amazing! Its been a truly life changing, enhancing experience. It was much more than I was expecting. If you have the opportunity to spend some time in Rishikesh, then I would highly recommend the course. Jump out of your comfort zone and experience real yoga. Lovely, people, location and energy :)

The 200 hour TTC is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. It's great to have an experience not only live up to, but exceed my expectations. My life has been changed in such an amazingly profound way. Everyday feels so new. I'm just filled with gratitude. Thank you to the entire staff at Gyan Yog Breath! P.S.: I have never tasted this kind of delicious food before!

It has been a beautiful and amazing month as a student at Gyan Yog Breath. The teachers are experienced and great, the food is very good, the location couldn't be better and the organized trip on our free day was really nice. I was also lucky to be there during Holi and the school organized a private party for us so we didn't have to go on the streets. Our safety as students has been their number one priority from the day we arrived there and I felt really great that I didn't have to worry about this. The only regret I have is that I didn't book the 300 hour TTC instead of the 200 hour but it just means that I have to go back very soon!!!

Gyan Yog Breath is an amazing experience for yoga enthusiasts of all levels. The yoga hall is on the bank of the River Ganga which we swam in, in our last weekend. Rishikesh itself is a very tranquil and interesting place, spiritual and refreshing. The teachers are charming, sensitive and good-humored which allows for a welcoming and fascinating classroom (much better than school!). We had three delicious meals a day and you can eat as much as fits in your belly! I have been a very happy student here and there is no doubt that it is an experience that has changed my life. Thank you Vipin and all!

I have just completed my 200 hour Yoga TTC in December and I feel so lucky that I chose this school. The teachers were amazing beautiful people, the food was great and I learned more than I could have imagined, plus I got to train with and meet the most awesome people.

I was nervous at first about doing the 200 hour TTC, but it was the best decision I have made, and it has definitely opened my eyes and life to new possibilities. So whether you want to teach or just get a more holistic view of yoga, then I can definitely recommend this course!

Thank you thank you Vipin, Anki, Kamal, Pankaj, Varsha, Shankar for the best month of my life! I remember at the beginning asking Vipin in meditation whether if someone has too much pain they can ever be better and I remember him saying “usually I help all people with pain”. He was right! Thank you for bringing joy back to my life and making me smile again always. I really enjoyed all aspects of the course and sometimes I even question why I’m smiling so much now. What is wrong with me?! Haha. I never knew much about yoga philosophy and always focused on the physical aspect of yoga more, so it was great to learn more about the yoga as a lifestyle than just exercise and have guidance on this. Of course, learning emotional blockage was such a unique experience and I feel very special that you shared this with us and I can’t wait to help more people with it. Keep doing what you are doing as it really is beautiful and touches people’s lives in ways they will never forget!

I took a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course at Gyan Yog Breath. The school is located in Rishikesh, directly by the Ganges River. The atmosphere is truly magical. I learned in a group with open-minded people and as the weeks passed on, we all became really good friends. Sharing, growing and changing my perspective has made me a much happier person. I am very thankful for my month at Gyan Yog Breath and can only say: this is one of the few things in life everyone should do! I will definitely come back soon to do the 300 hours.

I joined the yoga teacher training in February 2016. it was a very interesting, transforming and eye-opening experience. Vipins 'power of transformation' meditation is powerful and his 'emotional blockage treatment' is painful but every effective. For me, after one month I felt more light with myself, happier and energetic to face the world outside. I started giving the treatment to my friends and colleagues and released a lot of pains and blockages. they hate and loved me for that ;) I'm very grateful to all, beautiful hair swami Vipin, always balanced yoga teacher Pankaj and lovely yoga teacher Ankiji :)))) thanks a lot and all the best!!

Amazing place to practice yoga! Small group of people in the class, and the teachers always there to help you!! Strongly recommend that school! I also tried the emotional blockage treatment! Unique experience! I will definitely come back!!!

The emotional blockage treatment was a unique experience, I have never felt anything like it before. Afterward I felt so much lighter and calmer! I recommend it to everyone

This is such a powerful practice. The teachers were warm and friendly and I felt comfortable to release whatever needed to come to the surface. It was so powerful I could feel deep blocks on my heart being released and energy blocks in my arms and legs being released. I felt lighter and more positive as a result of the session. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking to get closer to their higher selves. The emotional blockage treatment was even more profound. It's probably the most painful and intense healing modality I've ever experienced but it's also one of the most life changing. Vipin works so intuitively. I remember he touched a point on the base of one of my hum and said 'oh you felt so much fear as a child' I was in complete denial as if somewhere in my brain I'd shut out the memory. As soon as he began the session I couldn't deny this any longer all the years of pain and suffering flooded my body and memory. I re-experienced these intense emotions while also sending my inner child compassion and love.

Amazing place for healing! Emotional blockage remove treatment is a life-changing one, it brought peace into my mind, opened up my heart and relaxation into my body. Lovely people ❤ swami gi hosted us in his place and made us feel like a very honored guest! I truly recommend

I went to Vipin Gyan of Gyan Yog Breath to assist me with Emotional Blockage Release and I walked away with a much more, aware, happy, lighter, more expressive heart centered self.... WOW... I was looking for a safe and supportive healing place to help me clear my creative energy pathways and I found it.... such deeply rooted system of beliefs that were holding me back in my relationships and my artistic creative expression.... I now have answers and I can see myself more clearly... amazing work Vipin Gyan. I'm very grateful

The emotional blockage treatment was intense but much needed. It helped me face my past and realize that I needed to let go of a lot. It helped me to focus on my breath as well. Vipin is a healer full of love. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you Vipin for being such an important part of my healing journey. It has been the most painful and most rewarding experience of my life so far and I will forever be grateful for your kindness, patience, understanding, and wisdom. I have learned so much from my time with you and hope that others may experience what I have. For those who are wondering whether or not this may help you, I would encourage you to have faith and try this treatment. Be prepared for a hard, and often painful, a journey to recovery, but always remain positive that there is a whole deeper level of happiness and peace that can be reached if you are brave enough to open your heart and set the past free.

The emotional blockage treatment was extremely intense and deep in ways I did not expect and can hardly describe. Pankaj Paswan is a really incredible and sensitive healer. Through my sessions with him, I feel as if I released a lot of stored pain and I felt really safe in that vulnerable position. I recommend it to anyone who wants help in releasing their past.

We had an awesome experience here with yoga teacher Mr kamal. And all teachers are amazing. We got much knowledge about Yoga and meditation. It is fabulous.

It was a chance discovery that I heard of Gyan yog breath in an overheard conversation but it was just what I needed and I went straight there and booked an appointment for the following day! I felt really welcomed and at home as everyone was so friendly and caring. Thank you!

Vipin, you are the best! I love what you are doing. Your emotional treatment saved my life. Made me see my stories from another side. My heart felt free again and strong. I love your breathing techniques and the way how you show it. It is so refreshing to the body, mind, and soul. I like the way how you treat humans by helping them through love and understanding. Thank you for everything. Your friend, Jana.

I went to a number of Vipin's meditation classes. I really enjoyed the pranayama, I felt totally relaxed during the class. The classes made me feel energized. Vipin and his staff made me feel at ease and welcome. Take warm clothes as can be cold when laying on the floor. Thank you for a wonderful experience, looking forward to coming back next month. Please try the emotional blockage treatment, be warned it is extremely powerful and very painful. I had 3 treatments, what a difference it made to my physical and emotional being. A must try if your brave enough. Namaste.

Thank you Vipin for being such an important part of my healing journey. It has been the most painful and most rewarding experience of my life so far and I will forever be grateful for your kindness, patience, understanding, and wisdom. I have learned so much from my time with you and hope that others may experience what I have. For those who are wondering whether or not this may help you, I would encourage you to have faith and try this treatment. Be prepared for a hard, and often painful journey to recovery, but always remain positive that there is a whole deeper level of happiness and peace that can be reached if you are brave enough to open your heart and set the past free.

Emotional blockage treatment with Vipin. Wow! It goes straight to the core of stored emotion and released so much. Not for the faint hearted as it is a really powerful healing. Will be returning for more treatment soon.

What an incredible 10 days with Swami Vipin and Pankaj. I would highly recommend the emotional blockage bodywork treatment or the 10 days course and the nightly meditation to everyone. I left Rishikesh yesterday feeling so much lighter and very inspired. Much love.

There are hundreds of yoga schools to choose from in Rishikesh, India and I don’t really know why I ended up at Gyan Yog Breath! Lucky I guess! The swami is hilarious and immediately put me at ease, and rests of the teaching staff seriously know their shit. They made me work hard! One of the things that really stand out from the other Indian yoga schools is the small classes and individual attention I got. It was the confidence-building that I really needed & it just grew day by day.

I’ve traveled India a bunch of times and always loved it,but when I stopped in Rishikesh for the 200-hour TTC at Gyan Yog Breath,I felt like the famous.”spirituality of India” actually., became real to me. And It’s stunning.

I took a yoga school at home last summer, but I wanted the real thing. There are fancier schools in Rishikesh with bigger buildings budgets (free t-shirts!), but what attracted me to Gyan Yog Breath was the focus on the spiritual life and the personal attention of the teacher. They honestly become like family to me. I feel like I was turned inside out, stretched every way imaginable(!) and sent back into the world more capable and centered with a true understanding of who I am, what I have to give, and why. Even now, Swami-ji always replies to my emails whenever I have any questions. Swami makes the Gyan Yog Breath is the best place to learn Yoga in India. They actually care!

I didn’t know what I wanted when I arrived in India. Rishikesh was calling to me somehow, and I started to learn yoga at one of the Indian Yoga centers and fell in love with the life it began to me. When I met the swami at Gyan Yog Breath, I joined the class to learn more, but the whole process, meditation practices, and unblocking treatment opened up a whole new world. It’s a small place, where everyone is family, but so powerful. I learned so much during the yoga course and now teach yoga professionally, but the real change inside me is what I love the most. Come and see for yourself.
