Rishikesh Yoga Association

I did Yin Yoga course. 5 days classes. Very intense, reach with knowledge, beautiful. I would highly recommend this place 🙏

Die Lehrer haben mit viel Herz und Geduld ihr Wissen mit uns geteilt und eine super tolle Atmosphäre geschaffen. Alle Klassen waren sehr lehrreich und die zusätzlichen Aktivitäten (Ganga Arti, Tempel-Hike, Aerial-Yoga, Sound Healing, Acro-Yoga) waren gut organisiert und haben das Programm sehr gut ergänzt.

I liked especially

1. The Yin Yoga asana/sequence training including the active approach of the teacher in helping to do corrections in the posture when needed

2. The Yang Yoga training (dynamic and strong Hatha) as a counterpart to the Yin Yoga sessions.

3. The Pranayama training

4. The Yoga Nidra sessions at the end of each intensive day of asana and theory sessions.

Excellent varied course and high quality teachers. Helpful to have previous knowledge and experience in yoga.

I loved everything about this yttc. The food, the location, the curriculum were great and I enjoyed every minute here. But what really made my time the best was the staff and how they enriched the whole experience. I’m so inspired by the time I spent here and I can’t wait to come back to do my 300 hours!

It was my first experience for a TTC, and I was highly satisfied with the rhythm we had, the ambiance, and the teachers.

Everything was very good, everybody was very helpful, I feel like in my home, thanks for a wonderful time

I liked the teachers a lot, it was a lot of fun to learn from them and the courses were very interesting. Most of the times the food was really good. Every day I learned so much and I am greatfull for that. I loved the atmosphere, the teachers were always smiling and when I needed something, they were there to help. I had a great time and had even fun studying for the assignment and exams.

The yoga room was bright and big. I enjoyed spending time there. There was also a balcony which had a nice view and it is possible to study there on a yoga mat.

Also they were offering inhouse massage which I really enjoyed.

The teachers and the course was exceptional. You get to learn from each teacher in a very unique and creative environment.

The lessons were demanding, but incredibly enriching. The teachers are very passionate and you will transcend your limits under their guidance. They take it very sincere and also the exams and teachings support you in the best way to become confident about what you hear during lessons. They always have an open ear for your concerns and are very sympathetic. They also create an athmosphere in which everybody helps the others, so that I experienced our course group as a family and I made deep friendships. Best experience of my life. THANK YOU

I am trying to find the words to explain this journey with Rishikesh Yoga Association but it’s hard to compile it all in a few words. Truth is, I joined this course with no expectations and left with a heart full of love and knowledge that will keep me grounded and calm in life.

I was humbled. Truly.

This journey was more than just perfecting my asanas or getting the certified 'yoga teacher' status. This journey was about self-development and self-expression of mind, body and soul. It is about stripping down to your purest form, letting go of your ego and turning up to class with an open mind ready to learn from some incredible teachers. Teachers that will support you throughout, that will guide you if you have any doubts and that will turn up to class with a warm and positive attitude enough to brighten up anyones day.

Rishikesh Yoga Association has really helped me deepen my spiritual journey. Each and every teacher has widened my perspective in life. Each was unique and authentic to his own truth in making all students realize how life can be lived fully and creatively. I am filled with gratitude and honor to have studied under the wings of each teacher, receiving loads of wisdom and heaps of practical knowledge made each day worth the early morning call time.

This experience has been a truly magical one and is the best choice I have made this year. I’ll forever cherish the training and each and every beautiful soul I’ve shared this journey with.

Just finished my course

Amazing teachers with very deep knowledge, some have been living the yoga life since childhood and teaching for decades, such a blessing to learn from them!

I really enjoyed every minute of it and at the end I wish there was another week or two. The course was amazing and beyond expectations!

Thank you so much to everyone!

Many blessings on your paths.

I hope to see you again…

Namaste 🕉️🙏🏼🌟

I recently finished a 500-hour yoga teacher training course at Rishikesh Yoga Association, and my experience there was absolutely incredible. The time I spent at the school was truly remarkable, and I cannot praise the staff members enough for their immense support. Additionally, the food provided was exceptional, and I genuinely enjoyed every meal. As for the teachers, they were all exceptionally skilled and imparted lessons that will stay with me forever. Throughout the training, I gained a wealth of knowledge about yoga and life in general.

It was truly delightful being a part of this incredible family. The experience surpassed my ability to fully capture it in words. The entire team, including the teachers, cooks, and reception staff, works tirelessly to cultivate a warm and welcoming environment throughout your time at the school. The teachers are exceptionally kind and form close connections with the students. The teachings focus on spirituality and philosophy, complemented by asanas, truly embracing the authentic essence of these ancient practices. I look forward to returning again and again.

If you are looking for authentic teachings and non commercial yoga look no further. Teachers are very competent and helpful with a huge knowledge of everything that yoga is (not just asana).

It was a great opportunity for me to have completed Yoga training at Rishikesh Yoga Association. All the lecturers are very grasp and helpful. Very good and unforgettable learning experience.

I usually don't like online courses very much. I feel that they tend to be impersonal and don't create the same bond. However, in this case I enjoyed the face-to-face training so much, I decided to give it a try. And I have to say that I will repeat! There were live sessions, with all the flexibility in terms of schedule to adapt it to the availability of each one. In each session there is a theoretical part and a practical part, with time to resolve doubts and concerns. They care about knowing your experience of the practice and help you to integrate it. All classes are recorded, so you can repeat them!

I had a fantastic experience with Rishikesh Yoga Association. The wealth of knowledge and experience that is shared is second to none. I learnt so much about all aspects of yoga and the purpose of a yogic lifestyle. I would definitely return to improve my practice and gain more knowledge and understanding. Thank you so much 🙏

I had an excellent experience doing my course. The course teachers are inspiring, committed and genuinely lovely people. The books and material provided were extremely useful and detailed. It is a perfect place to break free from the chaos of the outside world and to focus on oneself and learn Yoga from the right teachers. Thanks for everything.Highly recommended, especially as prices are reasonable.

We had a great teacher with lots of exparience with Ariel Yoga practise and teaching.We really learnt a lot during these days.The location was perfect.Rishikesh is safe even you are a solo traveller.The food was delicious,and fresh.The room was clean,and nice perfect for staying.I can reccomand this training warmly.

Honestly, the best thing about this experience was the teachers. You know they really care about what they teach and the students experiences. The administrators and staff were amazing. They also did so much to try and help us with anything we went to them with. If it was within their capabilities to ensure a better experience, they took care of it or helped us. The instruction was well done and it truly inspired me to realize the direction I wanted to take this. I highly recommend this school.

All of the teachers are bringing a lot of experience and knowledge. They are really beautiful in their human being. It's visible, that they work for passion.

I have just completed 500 hours YTT in Rishikesh Yoga Association. Choosing this school was the best decision of my life. I had wonderful experience there and learned a lot... The teachers and staff are amazing, very caring, always open to discuss and help, they make you feel at home. This school has a special place in my heart and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in yoga.

The worst part in fact was leaving…. Thank you RYA 🙏🙏🙏

Attentive teachers, welcoming team and a rooftop Aerial Yoga studio that makes you feel like you're floating in the mountains. I learned a lot from my teachers and had a very comprehensive training program that made it easy to acquire the knowledge quickly. This is a short and intense course, but their scheduling makes it manageable. I loved the daily meditation and breathing (pranayama) courses, sound healing session, and all the teachers were amazing. The facilities are simple, yet rooms are very clean and comfortable, with hot water and A/C, some even have balconies with a nice mountain view. The food is simple, and standard for this type of training school; vegetarian Indian dishes with rice and bread, but it is always tasty and served with care. Teachers are experienced, patient, kind, and caring. Keep in mind the building is in the Tapovan area, which is filled with yoga training schools, so there are many restaurants, shops and cafes nearby if you'd like to explore or need to buy something specific. The school is about a 15-20 minute walk down to the Ganga River and nearby a lot of natural trails and waterfalls to explore. Right on the first floor of the school there is a wonderful bookstore where you can find a wide variety of spiritual literature. They provide asanas guide book to cover in class, and also include a notebook, tote bag and t-shirt upon arrival. The ceremonies for welcoming and graduation are very nice. Overall I would recommend this training school.

I really recommend RYA… I spent two months doing 500hr and I enjoyed every moment of my time at the school, I felt like my body, my mind and my energy completely changed! Although my English is not the best, the language was not a problem to understand the classes, the practices and live this experience!

The teachers are super available, prepared and with very good energy! The spaces are comfortable, clean and pleasant. The food is healthy, very good and perfect for yoga practices…

I feel super happy and grateful to have had this experience with RYA and I recommend it to everyone!

Thank you 🙏🏼

Everything is planed so you can learn the most. Very nice experience i will recommand it to all my yogi surrounders. Thank you so much!

I reckon this course can be good for beginners, most of the participants of the group was quite new in yoga. In general, the teachers was good, except for the hatha yoga teacher, who seemed be a good practitioner but not a good teacher, he got poor English skills and very disorganised classes. I really enjoyed the ceremony, it was basic the only time I could feel more the spiritually aspect.

The teachers were nice and prepared
