"Quiet retreat in the hills"
The sessions with Kristi. Shanta, and Swami Prem Alok were informative. Brien was there to welcome me when I arrived and took me to my room. Meals were varied and delicious. Susmu provided expert massage.
The excursions were fun and our driver was very accommodating. Brien arranged transport as I requested and Susmu followed up with me on a day I went on an excursion by myself. Overall, my stay of 9 days was amazing!

"Excellent 300-hr Yoga Teacher Training at Mandala"
Right from my first inquiry, I was taken care of by Biren at Mandala. He responded to all my questions and I felt welcomed.
My room had a large comfortable bed, lots of storage, a heater/ac, a western toilet, and hot shower. It was cleaned daily and the garbage was changed - not something I expected.
The staff were so helpful and cheerful. (You will fall in love with Susmi whose smiling face will lighten you up everyday.) The yoga teachers, Kriti and Yogesh, are excellent. I learned how to back bend without hurting my back the first day, and I learned many more tips and pointers for how not to get hurt and still have precise alignment in the weeks that followed. (Not that I can do it, but I have the knowledge.)
The food isn’t Ayurvedic but it’s tasty and there’s plenty. Laundry service was available for a reasonable price, and a trip into town and a trek in the area was included with the yoga teacher training package. We even had movie nights courtesy of a fellow student (thank you Roy!) and Biren, complete with popcorn!
All of the staff at Mandala foster a sense of community and respect between fellow practitioners. The people I did my course with will always be special to me.
As an added bonus, Mandala has amazing views.

"A pocket of authentic yoga"
This place left its mark on me. The whole experience was so transformational both physically and spiritually. If you are looking for a smaller capacity place to truly connect with the teachers and dive deeper into yoga and life, then you should go to Mandala. the 500-hour training is quite challenging and intense but worth it. Everyone was very helpful and genuine.

Everything is so nice! All teachers are very experienced, and I learned a lot about Yoga. Staffs at the studio are nice and very friendly. I love living at the top of the mountain, so beautiful and peaceful. It is the ideal place if you want to find your inner peace. Enjoyed off-season at Kathmandu!

The place is beautiful and peaceful in a village in the mountains. You have both the view on the city ( from afar) and the luxurious nature and mountains.
The yoga classes, meditations sessions, reiki, bowls, are of high quality.
Food is excellent .
And most important : people are amazingly kind and helpful.
I feel healed, refreshed , reenergized.

Hello everyone I'm Stéphanie I was in Mandala in february 2024. I'm so grafeful that I choose Mandala to do my 500YTT.
Kriti and Biren and all the People in Mandala are the kindest people I've ever met. I don't have enough words to say how much I'm happy. Everything was just perfect and I've felt like it was my home.
The rooms was perfectly cleaned, the food was amazing (Momos are my favorite dish now!) The training was intense and so interesting. The place is beautiful and I was really sad to go back to my country...
I miss you Guys, thank you for what you have done with this place <3

"Really was like being at home with family."
The entire staff including the owners were remarkable. When they said this is your home and we are family I thought to myself yeah, right! However from my arrival until
The day I left this was my experience. I felt cared for and appreciated by everyone. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything that I needed, whatever I asked for was taken care of; I was constantly reminded that I was welcome and an important part of the community I was always warmly greeted by each member of the staff whenever they saw me. When it was discovered that I had an unusually sensitive digestive system the staff prepared things that I could eat and even made dishes for me apart from my fellow participants without spices. They took care of me when I hurt my back by overstretching and when I had an upset stomach! They even helped me celebrate my birthday! My teachers were very warm
And knowledgeable and I felt that they genuinely cared about my growth in helping me to achieve my goal of obtaining my 500
Hour certification and in becoming more self aware. The course was challenging and l learned much more than I ever imagined I would, not only about the course content but also about myself. I now have a much better grasp of what it means to be a yoga teacher. This experience has enriched my life.

Had been looking for the perfect place to do my YTT for years and Mandala did not disappoint. The training itself was in depth and provided a clear understanding of classical yoga, spirituality, history and asana practice. The food is incredible (RJ IS THE BEST CHEF EVER!), the staff are accommodating and kind, it is safe, clean and the views are beautiful.

"Best Choice - Actually — Here’s Why… "
It can be hard to believe reviews especially the good reviews. After scouring the internet and reading (only negative) reviews for weeks I bit the bullet and chose Mandala based on the food. I know that might sound crazy, but accommodations would likely disappoint me if I’d had an expectation and that the across Nepal and India in my mind were created equally for one reason. They want our money and as none of us would be repeat customers/students a basic level of education and dedication by the teachers would be given and that would be that.
With Madala however it was almost perfect. Let’s start with the food. It was so good. Breakfast will disappoint if you’re looking for anything western. If you like fruit and warm comforting foods in the winter months you’re going to be thrilled. Lunch and dinner were always perfectly on point. I loved our teachers Vishnu and Yogesh. Awesome men with a passion for what they do and it’s so incredibly apparent. They push you to your limits when don’t want to go only to help you realize that your body is so much more capable than your mind tells you, you can go.
The owners and support staff a treasures. Truly. In my white privileged way, I had a craving for cake. Not an hour later did I have THREE cakes to choose from. Biren and Kriti constantly go out of their way, taking care of their yoga students/family. Accommodations are basic but good. You have exactly what joi need. BIG LOVE!

I've learn so much about myself.
Thank you so much to guru Kriti, susmu, guru vishnu, guru yogesh, biren, ram..

J'ai aimé l'accueil très chaleureux bien qu'avec mon avion en retard de 10h, je suis arrivée à 23h passé. La nourriture était fraîche et savoireuse. Susmi et Biran savent créer une ambiance familiale et bienveillante. Le planning des cours était suffisant pour être un bon challenge mais laissait quand une bonne place au repos. Les professeurs avaient une énergie impressionnante et une compréhension des asanas que je n'avais vu dans aucun autre cours de yoga. Le Népal en lui même est un pays qui semblait m'ancrer plus qu'aucun autre. Nous y apprenons à vivre l'instant présent. Je suis rentrée en France depuis deux jours et j'ai déjà envie de repartir !

"A truly authentic, transformational yogic experience"
From start to finish, everything was above and beyond my expectations: the atmosphere in the beautiful mountains, clean and spacious facilities, friendly staff (more like your second family by the time you’re done), supportive batch mates from all around the world, and just all around positive vibes.
And oh my goodness the FOOD. Probably the main highlight of my stay. I was worried that it was just going to be a lot of dal, but every day we had something new, varied, healthy, and SO flavourful. Everyone always went back for seconds (sometimes thirds!).
Regardless of which training you sign up for, it will challenge you physically and mentally. Having done yoga for a few years on and off I thought it was going to be “easy,” and man I got my butt kicked. The instructors Yogesh and Vishnu are truly the best of the best - physically, they will guide you past your limits; mentally, enlighten you through teachings of yoga philosophy, history, and their own experiences; spiritually, make you reflect on the role yoga plays in your life as well as your role on this earth. Through class discussions, self-study time, and especially the silent meditation day, I’ve learnt more about myself in these three weeks than I have in the last year living at home on autopilot.
I can’t express how glad I am that I chose Mandala for my first YTT, how grateful I am to the whole team for this experience, & how much I miss everyone already. Mandala, I'll be coming back soon!

"Wonderful "
The teachers (Vishnu and yogesh ) have been amazing, kind, helpful, gave us so much insight and knowledge, they’re beautiful souls, funny, gentle, professional and passionate. They taught us a lot, as much in practical and theory classes. Kriti and Byen are also incredible, they run the place with so much kindness, lightness, and always smiling. They’re both super social, kind, and so funny, you can always have talks and good vibes with them and they’ll always try to help you ! The food was also amazing, they hired the best cook (a young chef, Ajé, always smiling) who makes Nepali/healthy food, it’s delicious ! I would recommand this place 100000%, you could never get any better.

"Home Away from Home"
I truly enjoyed every aspect of the experience from the location that lends itself to breathtaking views from your porch rooftop terrace to the sense of family that is created by the owners, staff, and teachers. I stayed in a private room and it was spacious and clean. There’s a little coffee tale outside each room with a comfy chair that allows for relaxing to
E with a book/journal and coffee. The yoga studio is incredible and even comes with air conditioner for muggy days. There’s a Bluetooth speaker there and at night you can chill in there and have a dance party if you wanted…as long as you are mindful of noise and keep it down after 10pm.
The teachers are full of knowledge, love, patients, and personal experiences that bring a layer of authenticity to their teachings.
I was terribly sick for 3 days there and I didn’t say anything the first day and it was terrible because I felt like I was going through it all alone, but the moment Kriti and Biren found out they were rushing over to me giving me comfort, medicines and healing foods. It felt like they were mom and dad coming to my aid and nursing me back to health. That brought my spirits up and I wasn’t so sad haha!
The staff is constantly cleaning and being you fresh towels and clean sheets.
My experience was better than anything I could have ever imagined. I’m so grateful for this space and everyone who makes it possible.

The last few weeks in Mandala Studio were simply amazing and exceeded my expectations. The place is magnificent and the training was so rewarding ! Biren is extremely helpful and makes sure that you have all what you need (and more). The teachers (Vishnu and Yogesh) are passionate, dedicated and very patient. I can never thank them enough ! The meals are varied and delicious (thank you a lot RJ!!!). And Susmi's smile and sweetness gives you strenght and comfort every day. This experience will remain engraved in my heart, I am sure that I will return to Madala's wonderful family which I warmly recommend if you are looking for high quality training in an idyllic place.

Mandala overlooks Kathmandu and when the sky is clear you can see the Himalayas and it’s just breathtaking, the staff are so helpful, friendly and sweet, they treat you like family as soon as you arrive, the teachers are dedicated and knowledgeable, I felt my yoga improved so much in the time I was there. The course is tough and you’re up early at 7 and finishing 6:30/7, but you do get generous breaks in the day where you can relax around the retreat and study in your own time. The atmosphere at Mandala is so calm and peaceful, all the friends I made during the course made me smile and laugh everyday. They made me feel so safe to teach infront of them and make mistakes. Thanks for the amazing experience mandala 🕉️🧘♀️❤️

"A life-changing experience"
THE BEST 200 HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IN NEPAL (*probably!)
Where do I begin? My partner and I chose to study our 200 YTT at Mandala Yoga Resort because the pictures looked amazing, the reviews sounded convincing and the programme seemed comprehensive, structured and varied. We are SO HAPPY that we chose Mandala! It's the real deal.
From the moment we arrived, we were treated as family; cared for, loved, fed and made to feel so welcome in our new home.
The location itself is beautiful. Nestled atop a hill, away from the chaos of Kathmandu, with sweeping views of the city and the Himalayan peaks perched in the distance.
The studio is a calm, serene space on the edge of the jungle, with panoramic views all around.
The rooms are clean and comfortable and the food is terrific. Aja, the cook, is a genius. He served up a smorgasbord of healthy, tasty and varied Nepalese dishes three times a day. We miss the food so much!
The facilities are lovely. We had massages (courtesy of Susmi who is an incredible masseuse), plus steam baths too!
In addition to the programme, we had the opportunity to visit the sights of Kathmandu, hike through the jungle and enjoy BBQs and so many laughs by the fire pit.
We were so blessed to have been taught by Kriti, Yogesh and Shanta. Three wonderful humans who gave off their time and wisdom patiently and tirelessly. The wifi connection was very good, allowing us to stay in touch with family at home too. Perfection! x x x

"More than I expected "
Like many other reviews have mentioned, it is difficult to find the right words to describe the magical journey you that mandala studio will take you on. The knowledge and experience of the teachers is truly inspirational, every single member of the mandala studio family genuinely care about you (you actually turn to be part of this amazing family)and want to see you grow and develop into the best version of yourself. This is not a fancy, luxury 'retreat' type of school; it is a real taste of the spiritual journey into self discovery. The school is in nature, situation on their beautiful piece of land, far away from the noisy streets full of cars but still within walking distance you have few cafes and shops or you can book taxi to go to the city. Accommodation is well organized, clean and comfortable. If there are any issues the staff will help you immediately and with pleasure. The food you will be served throughout the month is AMAiZING. Every meal is delicious. This month will help to show you gratitude for every aspect of life. I cannot recommend enough, book this school and you will not regret it!

Kriti and Biren are both lovely and very accommodating. If there was anything you needed, they would always do their best to help you. The yoga lessons were very enjoyable, tough at times (understandably), but Kriti was always respectful of when extra rest time was needed. The food was delicious. All organic and fresh fruit would be served daily. Tea and coffee were always available. Tommy the dog was my best friend throughout my yoga journey, and loves a cuddle! Yogesh who taught Yoga philosophy is a lovely person and very knowledgable on the subjects. I also received sound healing treatments too.

"Great place to get inner peace and to study yoga"
I really enjoyed studying 500h YTT at Mandala studio. Firstly, the head teacher - Kriti & the centre manager - Biren did their best and went above & beyond to make sure all students’ needs were fulfilled & we had a great stay (all help, guidance, ordering taxi, managing laundry etc.) - you feel yourself like you are at home/in a family, not at the hotel/studio. Secondly, the location is very nice, it is far from noisy and polluted Kathmandu, placed in a hilly area that gives an amazing view over the city, fresh air and proximity to nature. Thirdly, I really liked the food, it is vegetarian, diverse and very tasty, you are not restricted on how much you can eat. If you have any dietary restrictions (vegan, non-dairy etc.) you always have those options. I liked quality of teaching, especially Kriti, Yogesh & Binod were great teaches of yoga (hatha, ashtanga, vinyasa, yin), yoga philosophy & sound healing. You also get an opportunity to teach yoga to your peers, so you can practice in a safe environment. I also liked accommodations, my room was clean, with a heater, hot shower, I could see the city and the mountains from my window, which was a spectacular view that I loved a lot. We had an amazing class of 15 students & I made a lot of friends. It has been several weeks already, but I miss my Mandala family & wish to see my group and my teachers again! I would definitely recommend this studio and this experience to my family, friends and to all fellow future yoga teachers!

"Forever in my heart! ♥️"
So where should I start, I was there for 6 weeks, completed the yoga teacher, all the reiki levels and the advanced sound healing. I think it is hard to put into words, they were not only great hosts, they were much more like a family - so unbelieveble nice and with pure soul. They are so incredibly loving and caring. They don't just provide a service, no they ask you from day 1 to be part of the family and that is not affordable with any money. I felt so comfortable, they were just incredible. Kriti, Biren and Neva, you are forever in my heart, I love you and I am grateful for the time I got to spend with you. Thank you for always listening to me, thank you for the hugs when I needed them, thank you for being so wonderful. ♥️
About the trainings, I would recommend this to everyone, very professional, very efficient, very motivating, very well structured - all in all - I have no suggestions what can be done better.
About the food, thousand stars if I could. You have a little gourmez chef hidden in the kitchen ;) . Just saying: best momos in the world! I'm waiting for the recipe ;)
I recommend it to everyone from the bottom of my heart! You guys are amazing ♥️ Forever my Family in Nepal! ♥️

"A truly transformative experience! "
Oh where to start - Mandala is situated far up in the beautiful mountains and for me the location was just perfect. Quiet, peaceful, scenic, yet near enough to the city to take a taxi when needed. Despite already being a yoga teacher for 2.5 years, I learnt so much from this course, both about yoga and myself too. I felt really lucky to train under Guru Kriti, Yogesh and Prem, all of who have such wisdom and knowledge to share, and who encouraged our growth throughout the course. Kriti and Biren treated us like family and I really felt like Mandala was my home away from home, especially with all the other amazing students there.
As much as I loved the yoga, I have to say my favourite thing about Mandala might have been the food! Ajay our cook was incredible and made fresh, creative, delicious food for us every single day, 3 times a day (special thanks for the momos!). All in all a wonderful experience and would highly recommend.

Everything there was so nice. Firstly, the place is located on the mountain next to the jungle that creates an incredible feeling each time I was walking outside or watching through the windows. Food was so delicious that the hardest part was to stop going for more... :D Accommodation was really clean, felt as in the hotel. And people there were amazing. Big thanks for all the staff and our cook, Biren for coordination and fantastic dances :), thanks to Master Premalok - amazing meditation sessions, Yogesh - his classes were so interesting (wanted twice more time for his part). And undoubtedly, feeling so grateful for Guru Kriti, who was always charming and shared so much knowledge with us - a profesional teacher that helps all the time (even with sutra neti or vaman) :). Overall, it is the best place to grow and become a yoga teacher and I hope I'll come back there one day!

"A trip of a life’s time. "
Everything was wonderful. First of all Nepal is an amazing beautiful and friendly country. Definitely put it on your bucket list!
Kriti has built a beautiful resort tucked into the hills just outside of Kathmandu, it’s nice being outside of the city. She takes a lot of pride in providing an enjoyable stay for westerners and it shows, it’s new and clean and comfortable. The rooms are cleaned multiple times a week and linens are swapped out. The food is absolutely delicious if healthy vegetarian is your thing. Some of the girls had done training India before and did not have anywhere close to the level of lodging or food there. The program consists of personal yoga practice starting at 7am, yoga theory and mediation at 10:30 and yoga teach training at 330, 6 days a week. I am coming home in the best physical and mental state perhaps I’ve ever been in. I was just barely intermediate level heading to Nepal (one of the more advanced in my California yoga classes, definitely the least advanced in Nepal haha) but there is room for everyone in the class. Intermediate to super advanced. The students and the staff are all treated like family and I have made friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. I recommend planning to add a few days at the end of your program to go do some exploring around the beautiful safe country that is Nepal.

I’ve joint the mandala studio spa retreat for 500h yoga teacher training. Has been a life changing experience! Kriti is an amazing teacher she made incredible classes and the way she teach is very easy and effective. I could reach unbelievable poses in less the one week ,she knows how to work on your body and get the best results out of it. I could really go deeper and get in touch with the yogic lifestyle and the ancient philosophy. we experienced amazing dynamic meditations with our teacher Swami Prem Alock. The food fresh and delicious is made every day with love by Ajaye the cook of the retreat. The accommodation is nice and cozy,the view from the resort is breathtaking especially in the night. Brien the manger of Mandala is amazing very caring and carful to everyone’s needs supportive and available for everything. My experience was fully and intense. Besides the yoga training I also decided to do sounds healing and reiki courses. Special Thanks to Swami Chaitanya Krishna and Prem Alok because both of this training changed my life. All the teachers and the staff is great and you feel at home in every moment. This is very important especially for someone like me that was traveling alone so far from home. After these experience I feel confident in what I’ve learnt and ready to come back and open my yoga healing center. I can definitely say that this is the best yoga teacher training you can get in Nepal! Thank you for these beautiful period spent together!

I really felt at home there and already miss her. I'm glad I did my yoga teacher training there🙏 ♥️

The guidance, support and understand here at Mandala Studio from all the instructors is genuine. Their ability to see my abilities and bring them out, helped me surpass them at a level I didn't realise was in me. Both physically and spiritually. I couldn't of dreamed of a better, peaceful, tranquil location to start my Yoga journey. To wake up each morning looking at the picturesque surroundings all around me with the Himalayas off in the distance truly made this an experience of a life time. All of this has contributed to giving me the skills and confidence to continue in this life's journey of Yoga and to be a capable teacher. So from my heart, thank you to all involved at Mandala!!!

"A wonderfull experience 🙏"
The ideal place to learn or perfect your yoga ! The kind of experience that changes your life.
All the teachers are beatiful people, very competent, passionate and kind. The staff is also helpful and friendly.
The Mandala studio is now in Chandragiri Hill, far from the Tahmel touristic district (30min-1h with a car). It's a very quiet place, next to the jungle. Perfect to experience the yogic life.
The 3 daily meals are varied and very good.
The training is intense but well balanced between the practice of asanas, the learning of yoga philosophy and some other practices (meditation, satkarma, singings bowls, reiki, etc.)
Our group of 9 students was also very nice !
Thank you Guru Kriti, Biren, Manhal & Yogesh ! I wish you the best and hope to see you again 🧘🙏🕉️

Doing the yoga teachertraining was a wonderfull experience which will shape the decisions I will make in my future. The teachers try their best to learn you everything there is to know about yoga. Next to educative lessons about the different styles of Yoga asana, I had some wonderfull experiences with sound healing and different forms of meditation. Now I feel like I have a good basis to become a yogateacher. Another thing I like about the people at mandala is that there is always room for suggestions to meet up with the wishes of the group.

"amazing spiritual journey in my 200hr YTT"
Kriti and Biren make you feel like family during your stay in the retreat. The accommodation is lovely, everything new and the beds are super comfortable! The place is very quite and the view is amazing!
The food is good and fresh 3 times a day, just tell them if you want anything special or don’t like something.
Program is intense and challenging at times, but the teachers are good & I learned a lot.

"Deep and transformational experience"
The location is the best possible in Nepal, with nature and the jungle right there. Also on clear days the views are astonishing.
Food quality was very good and the cooks catered to our individual needs.
Kriti is a very talented instructor that thaught me to discover new possibilities in my yoga practice and both Manhal and Yogesh also bring in special gifts to your practice.
For anyone searching for a transformational yoga teacher training that also leaves space for personal explorations in the best possible setting then Mandala is your choice.

"200 YTT 🥰"
J'ai eu la chance de faire ma première formation de professeure de Yoga dans ce centre! Kriti et Biren sont des hôtes d'exception 🥰
J'y ai appris le Yoga traditionnel dans une ambiance paisible et bienveillante. Le site est magnifique avec une vue magnifique sur Katmandu et l'Himalaya. La nourriture est variée et très bonne, les professionnels sont adorables et à l'écoute des besoins de chacun.
Je les remercie de tout mon coeur 🙏

"The Mandala yoga journey. "
The friendly atmosphere at the Mandala Studio is truly heartwarming. The whole team each with their own expertise will make you feel part of a beautiful tribe. Kriti is very gifted in understanding your body in how yoga is best done for you to uplift and transform it on various levels by her practices. For me there has not been a teacher over the last ten years of practicing yoga that gave me personal stretches to work on certain body parts that needed attention. She is honest, direct and hands on in bringing solutions for various poses if your body is needing adjustment. A great teacher with a great workflow and a strong spirit. In addition to Kriti, comes Nima, she and her morning class is the sun itself that enlightens your day. Amazing. Thank you so much for helping me on this expanding journey in many ways.
Om shanti Om.

I completed the 200 hr teacher training. There was only two of us in the group which meant that Kriti could focus fully on us. I found that helpful in developing my self practice and my teaching skills. I really enjoyed learning about the history and philosophy of yoga, as well as practicing traditional Hatha yoga. I gained so much great knowledge and insight that I can now use in my everyday practice and in life. The accommodation at Sunny Hotel was lovely, all the staff were kind and the food was healthy and tasty. Overall it was a great experience, thanks Kriti and Biren!

tout était parfait,
les profs sont tous différents ce qui nous permet de voir et de s'imprégner de plein de styles d'enseignement, mention spéciale à Kriti, Biren, au #thedoctor et à Dipendra, grâce à vous je peux continuer mon chemin de prof sereinement ,
hotel comfortable et staff attentionné malgré la nourriture qui devient repetitive et incite à aller picorer dans la rue, ou au resto
projet en cours de construction d'un centre eco friendly qui je l'espère contentera les futurs étudiants,
200 heures restent maigres alors qu'il y a tant a apprendre après coup j'aurais préféré les 300h !! il ne reste plus qu'à apprendre encore plus une fois rentré
encore merci pour tout et à très bientôt l'équipe :)

"Would do it again! "
I liked especially the Theory class with the Dr, because he told us so many interesting things beyond the book. In the practical classes Kriti and Dipendra were simply the best. Kriti pushed us in some postures we never did before and it was really impressive how much the body can do, even though we weren’t aware of. Dipendra was a Little walking Sunshine himself and his classes were sometimes really exhausting, but you will and also want to smile anyway! All in all I can say, that I would do the teaching training again in the mandala studio if i had the chance to choose again.

"Life Changing Trip"
This training was everything I could have hoped for. When looking at trainings I wanted to experience yoga as a culture and get down to the fundamentals, which is exactly what this course was about. Now I know what a yogi lifestyle consists of and I feel confident in teaching the classical form of yoga. The teachers at Mandala were all so knowledgeable and hard working but also fun-spirited, we spent so much time laughing and joking around together. It made all the challenging times just fly by. My favorite experiences was, going hiking up the mountain and running into a monk who taught us a chant while drumming, and visiting temples and seeing a wedding ceremony.

"I enjoyed every moment - the good and bad ones"
I really liked how kriti pushed us into to the poses. To going deeper and deeper. She pushed us out our comfort Zone and I am really thankful for this. I never would be able to do this by my one and would always stay in my comfort zone. Now I know, I am able to do more than it is possible. So thank you for this Kriti. We were for 3 weeks at the kushi kushi Resort, the food was really delicious, best: Breakfast :)
If you have any doubts, thoughts or something you worried about, they're listening to you (Kriti, Biren, Swami) and they will try to found an solution. To Swami, his Knowledge is incredible. I really enjoyed the classes with him. Talking about yoga history, philosophy, the world, also about ourself. You start to learn everyday more and more about yourself. And that is really precious.

"Incredible Experience "
From the moment I arrived in Kathmandu and was greeted with open arms and a prayer scarf I felt welcomed into the Mandala family. Kriti and Biren are so caring and genuine and were so concerned with our experience and wellbeing at all times; we were so well looked over. The studio itself was centrally located in Kathmandu and the Chandragiri retreat gave a nice contrast to the bustle of Thamel. I left with a great foundation to my journey as an instructor and inspired to continue my personal practice and to teach others.

This training was a great experience! Super friendly people, who always take care and try their best. We learned a lot and had much fun during our classes.
Also the place where we were staying is nice and clean. Even though it’s in the middle of Thamel, it’s not too busy their and you have a nice rooftop with good views.

This teacher training was absolutely fabulous!! Everything surpassed my expectations. A traditional experience. The food, accommodations, everything is thoroughly thought out to every detail. The course itself is all inclusive, filled with a lot of information. The teachers are all so knowledge and compliment each other very nicely! Would recommend to anyone looking for a traditional yoga experience with a perfect mix of western comfort. The teachers will help progress your practise to a level you didn't know possible, in a comfortable way, it's like magic:)

"Traditional yoga and peaceful village"
All the stay is well arranged to be taken in charge with a free mind. I really appreciated the diversity of classes, the knowledgeable and friendly teachers and the free practices at the studio. It was convenient to be in Thamel with a short walking distance between the hotel and the studio. The hotel tenants were so available to answer any demand. The food was good and non spicy, the rooms comfortable and clean.
The highlight of the training was to move for 1 week in Rieke village, few hours by bus from Kathmandu. It was very refreshing and relaxing to be there, with the view on the Annapurna. The hosts were so nice and the food was very tasty. An amazing experience to recommend.

"It is an unforgettable life changing experience!"
I loved each and every day that I spent with Kriti’s course!
You have to becoune like a sponge to absorb all the beautiful knowledge that teaches give you about yoga. Every teacher has a unique spirit and approach, they all are so different, but all amazing!
This course helps you to deepen the knowledge in theory, philosophy, physical part of yoga. It makes you more and more curious and provokes the desire to study more, to discover more, never to stop your education, and keep the positive spirit.
Some days are hard and intensive, but you will definitely love it if your purpose is to study yoga, to be surrounded with it.
It was a great time in Kathmandu in a lovely and cozy hotel, where the stuff is indescribably hospitable and kind!
The Mandala studio is a great place in the heart of the Thamel with an offer of perfect massages in the free time 😊
You can do additional Reiki and Singing bowls sessions and workshops in the free time, which makes the stay completely great.
Thank you for your knowledge that you share, for your kindness, for your motivation and hospitality!
Hope to come back soon 😊

"Transformational Yoga Teacher Training"
I recently finished 300 Hr Yoga Teacher Training at this studio. My learning has been transformational both on and off the mat. The teachers are not only knowledgeable but also compassionate, kind and loving. They treat their students with respect, but care for them like their own children. They spark interest and curiosity of students with light hearts, yet firm and gentle on the teaching. Everyday I looked forward to the classes even though getting up at 6am is the most difficult thing in my daily life... In this 33 days, my brain absorbs knowledge like a sponge, the pain in my body become pleasure during practice, my heart receives much loving kindness. I am more than ever ready to be a yoga teacher...

"Very knowledgeable and qualified instructors!"
The instructors were so knowledge and patient. They made me realize my abilities and enhassed it to the max. The way they taught really encouraged me to break my mind block that had been in me for so many years. They are really living yoga. So much to learn from them. Also, the organizer was very cooperative and tried to accommodate all our needs. At times we demanded so much but Biren and Kriti really pushed their boundaries to help us out and to make us feel as most comfortable as possible. Spending in a group in a foreign country for three weeks, you will come out with all the unexpected needs and it is very important that the organizer is flexible and cooperative. And they were just amazing in thar. I will definitely go back again for further training with them! Thank you Biren and Kriti! The yogi journey with you was so beautiful and life changing experience!

"immense knowledge between instructors"
The balance between staying in Thermal and the Jungle at 'osho divine' was awesome. The schedule being flexible and accommodating to suit our learning needs was outstanding - egos did not come into play here.
Some knowledge of the sanskrit for yoga history and asana is very helpful to have before you come! Practice some ashtanga yoga to understand where yoga started and what will be taught to you.
The people of Nepal are very caring and kind. Safe to walk around, even at night and anyone will gladly help you.
The food is nutritious and lovely. Safe to eat any restaurant or cafe in spare time.
If you are going at high heat and dust times of the year - take a scarf or medical mask to avoid breathing too much dust.
The teaching is traditional and will take you beyond the physical, asana based practice. If you connect your intellect to your heart/ spirit, you will come away a highly skilled yoga teacher....beyond the mat!

"A beautiful experience"
From the accommodation to the learning environment, this experience was wonderful. Kriti, Ekraj, and Swami Basu provided us with lots of wisdom over a short time and worked hard to improve our yogic practice and knowledge in every way. We covered asanas, yoga theory and history, and philosophy as well. The program was overall well-structured, and we packed a lot into every day, making it a very deep and plentiful training. They were also accommodating of vegan diets (at your request). Lastly, being able to connect with others on a spiritual journey such as this was sublime. Growing and learning with other passionate yoga practitioners was one of the best aspects of this trip. I appreciated the time to develop my practice with friends and further our wisdom in Yoga.

"A shared moment of Zen and Yoga"
I booked the YTT without being truly aware of what I was getting myself into. I spent 22 days in Nepal, primarily in Kathmandu, emerging myself into the basic framework and nature of Hatha yoga. I would highly recommend Mandala yoga studio and the provided YTT experience to anyone who wants to dive into the universe of Yoga, both practical and spiritual. I enjoyed every aspect, every moment and I would do it all again if I had the chance.
And to my luck I shared the whole experience with a great group of loving and kind people.
Until we meet again a big thanks to Kriti and Biren.
Namaste🙏

"Solid eastern-style training- leave western expectations "
Whether taking the 200-hour to deepen your yoga practice, get your foot in the door as a new teacher, or test the waters, I think it’s great to investigate the fundamentals of yoga in its geographic place of origin and in a relatively spiritual environment where a yogic diet/lifestyle is more likely to be culturally adhered to or supported - as opposed to a temporary western popup retreat that has no direct ties to the surrounding culture, history and environment. Vibe was very laid back, positive and welcoming. However, note that as such, though you are seeking a western accreditation, you are being taught by Nepali teachers and the education and style is not your Highly-structured, fast-paced western education— by all means pursue a western accreditation if you feel it will prepare you to work in a western country, but if you want to explore the roots of yoga in a more authentic way this is a lovely place to do it. I also appreciated that they moved us to an ashram for a week, where we got to get out of the “chaos” of Thamel and relax, do many meditations and eat THE MOST AMAZING HOMECOOKED NEPALI FOOD I COULD DREAM OF.

"200hrs Yoga Teacher Training"
The staff at Mandala and Sunny Hotel made me feel so welcome and comfortable right from the start. They try very hard to make sure that every one is happy. The yoga training schedule was good and the classes got harder as the training progressed. Toward the end of the training we were all sore and tired but I’m glad that we were challenged! There is always the option to do less or not advanced versions of the poses.
We definitely learned a lot of important information about the asanas. The yogic philosophy and lifestyle teachers were great and provided traditional Nepalese and Indian perspectives. We had the experience of going to an ashram for 5 nights which was the most incredible experience. Lovely setting, great food and the meditation was amazing! I never thought I would be able to meditate every day but now I know how valuable it is to a healthy mind and clarity of thinking.
The group of people I was with were all wonderful and made the experience so much more memorable.

"Valuable Experience"
The Yoga Teacher Training covered the majority of what we need to know and learn about yoga and how to be a yoga teacher. We finished the material within the first two weeks, and the last week for repetition and our practice to teach our classmates. Accommodation in Sunny Hotel is simple but very nice, the staffs of Sunny Hotels are very friendly, they treated us like a family, trying to help us as much as possible when we need a tea, fruits, water, or anything that we need.
Spending 5 days away from Thamel was a surprise for our group, Kriti mentioned that we were the first group to spend some days in Ashram, which is close to nature and bit far away from the hustle of Kathmandu City. My personal opinion, the food in the Ashram is tastier (spicier) compared to the food in the Sunny hotel. But it was too spicy for some other people. We also learned a lot about Meditation and Philosophy of life from Swami Basu. I like the combination of having classes in Thamel, and a few days away from Thamel.
I also met wonderful people (my classmates) from around the world, which we created a unique friendship and bonding during the three weeks training durations. Overall the YTT is very valuable experience for me, and it is recommended to take YTT with Mandala Yoga Studio.

"Around the World Experience"
The teacher training was fabulous. Kriti was amazing and so supportive. Her husband, Birwn, co-owner of the yoga studio and spa, also provided guidance and support whenever any of us (students) needed it. Both Kriti and Biren are committed to providing a top notch teacher training program and experience. I met so many inspirational people from around the world. It was a joy to get to know them and become a family in the short 3 weeks.
Not only did we spent our training at the yoga facility in Kathmandu, but Kriti and Biren also arranged for us to spend a week in an ashtram to have time with nature and yoga away from the city. The week was spent in intense training with our Swami and his family. It was astounding and the food was excellent home cooked cuisine.
The accommodations at the Sunny Hotel in Kathmandu were simple yet comfortable. It was a short 5-7 minute walk to the studio. The staff at the hotel always went out of their way to help out whenever any of us needed anything. The food was prepared according to our yoga teacher’s specific requests. The flavors and food was traditional Nepalese; however, after awhile with anything I needed a change. I didn’t miss the meat, but I did miss eggs, cheese and dark chocolate.
Overall the trip, sight seeing, hiking shopping,etc. and especially the yoga program was phenomenal. And above all else, I realized the way you do yoga is the way you do life, and it’s way more than asanas even when you’re my age(58).

Dipendra was my favorite part of the course who was our instructor for the philosophical and Asana part of the course. He was so knowledgeable yet so flexible and powerful physically. The course itself was intensive and covered almost anything a yogi needs to know to embark on the path. From cleansing regime, diet, history, philosophy, branches of yoga to advanced asanas, this is a complete package! There is nothing comparable in the west.
