The teachers were all knowledgeable and very nice. I learned so much from each of them. The classes were intense, yet extremely helpful and necessary in order to learn the foundations of teaching and practicing holistic yoga.

I know that there are thousands of yoga ashrams in rishikesh where you can learn yoga. But I was not only searching for the physical activity of it but much more for the whole knowledge, for the deeper spiritual aspects of the practices. For me there is no better place than the samadhi yoga ashram. I am here for the second time and I could dive so deep into myself that I am more than grateful for that experience. I did not only find new aspects of myself but I found a new home here in rishikesh with a family - the family of every beautiful soul who works there and give their best to make you feel loved and safe. Every teacher is very special and has so much knowledge that you can talk to them for hours. The food is fresh, it’s mostly no western food, but you won’t even think of that when you have that delicious dhal-curry in your mouth. In the rooms you have everything you need and everything is clean. All in all I can just say thank you for everything and I am looking forward to every new experience in rishikesh with my samadhi family. Lots of hugs, Isabell

I cannot express in words how incredible this trip has been. From the magnificent scenery, the vibrant culture, the friendly people, and the incredible teachers, I am deeply humbled. The knowledge you learn, the experience you gain, the kindred spirits you meet, and the immersion in a sacred place nourishes the mind, body, and spirit. I am truly grateful to Samadhi Yoga Ashram and Rishikesh for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

See for yourself and I promise your life will change for the best.

I will be back.

Probably one of the best experiences of my life!

My wife and I completed the 200 Holistic Yoga course, we loved pretty much every moment of it!

The instructors were absolutely amazing! Truly inspirational in knowledge, dedication and outlook. My personal asana practice improved considerably and was introduced properly to pranayama, philosophy and meditation.

Vishnu, the founder of Samadhi yoga ashram is such a lovely guy, no heirs and graces or ego just genuinely loves what he does.

The venue is in beautiful Rishikesh, the Yoga capital of the world! The place is literally buzzing with yoga teachers and students and it's really a magical place to come train in Yoga!

Having read one or two other reviews with people whingeing about how they didn't get to practice teaching!!? This is India, it is the home of Yoga, they teach you in a traditional way, and I'm thankful for that! Come with an open mind and you won't be disappointed!

Teachers & staff were very helpful.

Classes were good .

Serene & pleasant environment .

Secured place.

I learned so much. There were actually 6 different instructors and every single one of them was absolutely excellent--depth of knowledge, love of their subjects, total commitment to give us everything possible. The knowledge was pretty much all new to me and my mind got blown on a regular basis. It was an extremely intense and efficient learning experience and I really loved just about every minute of it. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful wherever I went. It was also a beautiful environment and a lovely area of India between the Ganges and the Himalayas.

Teachers all are amazing knowledgeable and humble to approach.

I learned so much in 18 days.

Everything are just awesome.

I'd like to stay longer.

All the classmates are super nice.

Overall is excellent plus.

Teachers and workers of ashroom perfect.

Everything! This is an intense, but excellent program. Your days are long, and you're expected to do your best. You don't need any prior experience, but you should at least be interested in yoga.

You'll meet some wonderful people, the teachers are passionate and knowledgeable about their subjects, and the coordinators worked very hard to give us the best experience possible. Food is healthy, fresh and very satisfying (if you really need coffee or tea, you'll have to bring your own)

Pack something white for the opening ceremony. Bring enough cash, as the ATM doesn't work, and the other one is a bit of a walk away. you can also exchange money at a bureau.

Looking forward to coming back for more teacher training

The teachers where very passionate by their subject and share all their knowledge with their students. I was part of the group of 200h yoga holistic and therapy, the training is very intense and you need to be prepare mentaly and phisicaly to work from 5am until 7h30 pm. We learn so much from each teacher!! Shakti, Phralad, Nikki, the Philosophy teacher..... our Guru Vishnu. I felt like in a big family and all the students we where like sisters and brothers😊.

This was an amazing experience of learning not only about yoga but about life.

Very comprehensive and well delivered course. It’s very intense but if you don’t have more time it’s worth it. Otherwise better to do it in more weeks

I loved the joyfull athmosphere, we were a small group of 6 amazing people who created a magic connection within and with people around. Teachers are young but committed to their job, insipiring and willing to help, answer your questions and adjust the lessons to students needs (special thank to Navkant for this). The Guru took great care of our practical needs (making sure that everything was fine with food, accomodations, lessons etc) as well as spiritual ones, with day trips to holy spots and temples. Food was simple, balanced and delicious. Very recommended and remember that in case you may find any issue, there is people willing to do their best to make it work!!!

Location was beautiful, with views of the hills.

I enjoyed the simple food, never getting even slightly sick.

The people I met created the experience that will stay with me forever.

Aprendi mucho. Muy buenos profesores. Un poco si a veces orientado a personas que muy principiantes. Pero si queres aprender, se aprende mucho. Contenta con el contenido y el conocimiento de mis tutores

La mayoría de los profesores son muy buenos, el staff de recepción y cocina super servicial y atentos para todo lo que te haga falta.

Fue una increíble y enriquecedora experiencia. Los instructores son magníficas personas y yogis. Se aprende mucho de ellos, pero también de las personas que conoces.

Me encantó tener un instructor distinto para cada materia.

As I could not travel to India to my course, I decided to this course online during the COVID19 period. I am recommending any of their courses to a person seeking to find a yoga course ONLINE for the 3 simple reasons 1.Teachers here are sincere, dedicated and knowledgeable. They are kind but firm and want you to learn yoga the right way. 2. The teachings are based on traditional text and knowledge passed down from lineages. The learning that you will receive are both enlightening and transformational in the way it is delivered. We receive pdfs and video recordings of classes 3. The school's founder has a great vision of building a school for the Himalayan girls of India. It is not just another profit-centered yoga school.

I liked that we were included in the traditional festivities, and that we got to experience what it was like to be at a traditional Indian yoga ashram. The classes were very good, teachers were experienced, and we got to learn very profoundly the philosophy and origins of yoga, as well as the meaning of yoga. Rather than saying that this is a course that helps you become a teacher, which naturally it is, this is also a course that teaches you the life of a yogi or yogini, how to live by example, touch your students' hearts, understand them, love them, and teach them everything they know.

We got to get in touch with our own emotions, our energy, our force, and the flow of knowledge; our masculine and our feminine side. It was also wonderful to listen to the stories and histories that formed what we know as yoga.

The flexible arrangements and helpful staff definitely helped with my participation in this course, especially given that I have a full-time job and live in a few time zones ahead, but I was able to feel included and that I was learning a lot. It was easy for me to get in touch with the teachers and ask them anything that I didn't understand after class, and my classmates have been kind and genuine, sharing their journey on our Whatsapp group.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

I loved all of the teachers, as they are so knowledgeable and experienced. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience from start to finish. The teachers are proper Yogis and Gurus and they understand Yoga at a very deep level which they impress on their students. The practices that I have learned are well beyond the 200 hour teacher training, I will take these forward into my daily life. You will feel part of a family throughout the course and beyond. The teaching is personal and beautiful; life changing. Go for it!

Everything from start to finish was absolutely amazing. I was worried at first about doing an online training, however there was nothing at all to worry about and in fact it surpassed all expectations by far. Everything was so well organised with zoom lectures all day that were also recorded in case you missed one. The teachers provided constant support throughout, even via whatsapp after classes were finished. Yogi Vishnu truly made us feel like part of the family and taught us so many important life lessons. They teach from the heart and from experience, not just from a book. I expected to learn how to teach yoga, and i did. However i also learnt so much about myself along the way and feel like i left this course a much better person, i went through a complete transformation in such a short time thanks to the care and devotion from each of these wonderful teachers. I was so sad that my training was over that i have already signed up for my next training with Yogi Vishnu on the upcoming Tantra training. I would highly recommend this course and this school and will be returning for online trainings as much as i can while they are available.

The energy was amazing, food was bomb and the whole place transformed the people there:)

Food was amazing.

Teachers were all amazing

I was in Samadhi Yoga Ashram in December and it was such a great choice to spend the Christmas there. Everyone is treating you like a family member and very soon you feel so comfortable and cosy in this place. If you visit them for a TTC, please do your homework and study at least a little bit the subject before coming here, the teachers are all so well prepared and they have a lot of knowledge to share, it is a pitty not to have a bunch of questions you want to clarify for yourself. The meditation teacher, Yogi Bhavesh JI, is the most amazing teacher I ever had, he shared so much information with us in such a gentle and full of love way. All the staff is nice, everyone is trying to please you and solve whatever problem you can have while staying there. Food is good also. Don't expect at 5 stars european hotel accommodation, but you actually are not going to feel the need to have that. Your soul is going to be so full of light and that is going to be enough. Guru Vishnu Ji did a very good job putting all this things together. I am full of gratitude and thank them for such a life changing experience. Hope to be back soon!

I loved the full schedule and great teachers!

Most of the yoga classes were really good. Nice food, nice environment.

I really enjoyed our teacher, who is not listed on the teacher's list - his name is Sudeep Peshwal. He is a very young guy but a fun teacher, mild mannered and patient. He was also the person who took us on the excursions, and it was fun to talk to him outside of the yoga studio.

I liked the atmisphere there.

I like the retreat and all the involvement landscape, the environment and energy that you can feel during the day in the retreat. I like the yoga teacher, Sony Deshwal, that was also an amazing guide tour and took us to a interesting places

Teachers are very good and kind, staff in general are sweet and willing to help. Yoga instructors are very knowledgeable.

Everithing!!!!

Was a nice experience with the best Trachers, in best Ashram, with the best people :) nice food also :))) the ashram has very nice lokation near to lot of bar/restaurant/market :) the best training in Risiken!

The place has been renovated so the building is modern and the rooms are very clean the bathroom and the shower and the room overall is very comfortable.

All the instructors are Indian which was a plus for me as I wanted an authentic experience not a westernized version.

The daily schedule was grueling and intense so get ready for a lot of information

The volunteers Annabelle and Christian were lovely and accommodating and listened to any suggestions

This was my first teacher training and I’m planning to continue the 200 hour course online with Samadhi

I really recommend the 100 hours for beginners or for anyone wanting to deepen their practice

Vishnu and his team made my stay at samadhi ashram an unforgettable experience and the family spirit was felt throughout the whole duration of my training. All wishes concerning my spiritual growth and practice of yoga were not only met but exceed all expectations.

I humbly would like to thank all lovely people at Samadhi ashram for this unbelievable journey of inner and outer transformation and will hopefully return soon.

Love & light and Namaste 🙏 from Shanti 💚

The teachers at Samadhi are phenomenal. I couldn't have asked for more knowledgeable or enthusiastic teachers, who also care very much about their students.

Miyamoto Musashi, a poet and samurai, once wrote “A man cannot understand the art he is studying if he only looks for the end result without taking the time to delve deeply into the reasoning of the study.”

The essence of Samadhi Yoga Ashram is exactly that—to delve deeply into the reasoning of the yogi study. Samadhi Ashram is truly a unique experience. From day one at the Ashram, I was treated with respect and a sense of warmth and welcoming that is unsurpassed. They arranged my pickup from New Delhi with ease which made my life a lot easier since this was my first time in India. On arrival, everything from the rooms and food selection to the yoga instruction and philosophy—everything was throughly thought out, accommodating, and delivered with a sense of knowledge, pride, and love. Guru Vishnu truly believes in what he practices. He is not simply selling you poses or a certificate—he continually strives to educate and guide you towards a way of life which offers the practitioner peace, serenity, health, and, above all, awareness.

After your time at Samadhi, you will not only have a solid foundation for your asana practice but you will truly understand the reasoning behind the philosophy which embodies this ancient yogi practice.

This ashram showed me- an ardent skeptic - that the people who staff it truly believe in what they are teaching. With unparalleled grace, they showed me that self-discipline and happiness comes in odd and small ways. From children of the instructors being rambunctious in the ashram, to problematic students — these yogis exemplified what I means to be influenced and in control of these practices we all set out to arrive here and obtain.

Great instruction. Caring staff. Friendly to the top degree— recommend to anyone interested in learning the mind and soul of yoga.

Flexible, responsive to feedback, Vishnu is very caring and accommodating

My experience in Samadhi Yoga School was magnificent and unforgettable. I’m satisfied with the teaching and the environment.

I’ve felt as at home in this friendly Ashram. Good atmosphere and wonderful smiling people. Delicious food! Good atención en general.

I take from this place good knowledges and great experience.

Glad to have chosen this school!

Thanks for the moments we’ve lived together!

Namaste

Awesome energy and vibration of the ashram, the teachers were professional and patient, holding many years of traditionell and Kundalini Yoga experience and provided excellent classes. The vegetarian food was delicous and the rooms comfortable. I can highly recommend the Kundalini teacher training, especially to those who a searching for a strong connection on their spiritual path.

Wonderful teachers, very motivated to share their knowledge. Kitchen staff also good, nice food

Tout était incroyable

Je suis honoré de pouvoir faire Partie De CETE aventure rien est à regretaire Tout à refaire !!!!

Whow what an incredible experience this was. Initially we booked for the 100 hours, but as we were in the middle of the course and fed with so much knowledge and love we decided to stay and complete the 200 hours. It was the best decision ever! Not only did we had a fantastic small little group, but the people from Samadhi - all the teachers are so inspirational. They share their positive energy with you and are so eager to share their wisdom with you. I am for ever grateful and will never forget this incredible people. Thank you for guiding me to a journey with in myself, to obtain the knowledge out of self experience and to now share this with the world around me !🙏🏻
