"Wonderful experience"

The location is really nice, with beautiful view on the mountains. The ashram is clean, tidy and everybody is really welcoming. Really close to the main attractions but also to nature.

Instructors are really good, they follow you in every step.

"Amazing experience"

Really liked the yoga academy. The teachers are very knowledgeable. And for a beginner, the lessons are accessible and challenging at the same time. Food is healthy and delicious. Very good value for money.

"Absolutely brilliant "

I went for the 3 day retreat and ended up extending for another 3 days. The instructors were sensational, very patient and kind towards their students (especially a beginner like me). I enjoyed the food way too much and I am fussy non vegetarian eater so that’s a lot coming from me, dinner time was definitely my favourite. The rooms were very spacious, comfortable and clean, and had hot showers which was such a blessing after using bucket showers for so long. I highly recommend this academy as I left feeling stronger in my body and full of so much knowledge which is exactly what I was hoping for.

"Great retreat to relax and enjoy some yoga. "

It was a laidback retreat. I joined the end of a group finishing their 200 hour teacher training. The classes were great and the instructors were friendly and helpful as I was new to the group. The food was delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful too! Was able to stay a night beforehand as I was arriving earlier from Jaipur, so that was appreciated! The room was spacious and clean and had hot water. Definitely recommend for a relaxing laid back retreat, and some great yoga sessions. Thank you for making my time in Rishikesh amazing 🙏

I had booked the 3 days yoga retreat at Yoga Vinyasa Academy in upper tapovan and it was amazing! The academy has a beautiful view just next to the Himalayas and the yoga, meditation and experience was high value for the price! The yogis and staff of the academy was really helpful and made it feel like home!

If you want to do some yoga, meditation and don’t have too much time in Rishikesh I would definitely recommend to do the 3 day yoga retreat here! You would not regret!

"UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE !!!"

My experience at Vinyasa Yoga Academy was amazing! I did my yoga course at this school and it far exceeded my expectations. The teachers at this school are phenomenal, and truly know their craft as well as live what they teach. The staff was so friendly and kind, The facilities themselves were good and the rooms were comfortable. If you are considering coming to Vinyasa Yoga Academy for a yoga course, I say “DO IT!”

"Life changing Experience"

Thank you to all Vinyasa yoga Academy team for your hospitality and I had a family feeling in your place. I am very much inspired and for sure I continue my yoga journey. Thank you for being so helpful for humanity.

Daily delicious meals and cleanliness make my stay so comfortable. Yoga was challenging or me but that made me strong. For sure I come back again for advance teacher traing.

"Profound life changing experience at the Yoga Vinyasa Academ"

The teaching was exactly what I was looking for. Being a student in Psychology in the West, I was seeking to deepen my knowledge of Yoga science in India. Immersing myself in Rishikesh, such a beautiful setting, I wake up every day with a view of the Himalayan mountains. I start the day with meditation and then continue with pranayama on this journey of practicing Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga, while also learning new skills such as Anatomy and Philosophy. This experience helps me further explore my personal research.

"Online experience as powerful as an in-person one"

The approach of the teachers was one of a kind. I was challenged by their immense knowledge many times and got an opportunity to grow thanks to that. I really felt like I had left the comfort zone of asanas and dove deeper into the yogic philosophy. I felt encouraged and welcome to ask any questions, which were never left unanswered. The possibility of interacting with other students was something I had hoped for, and I am happy to say we evolved into a lovely group, meeting 6 days a week to practice and learn together. Finally, the amount of knowledge provided is vast, and I mean: vaaast. Not only are the live online classes a great opportunity to learn about hatha yoga and alignment, as well as yoga philosophy, but they are also supported with many more videos and assignments on a web platform. You can do those assignments at your own pace, and trust me when I say you will get to experience so many different aspects of yoga. When you sign up for the 200h YTTC, as I did, you get the experience of live classes, but you are also rewarded with a beautiful set of classes on yoga nidra, meditation, pranayama, mantras, bandhas and much more.

"Best time of my life"

I found this place like my home.Everyone was so much lovely.I am in love with that place,with all staffs and with teachers also. I would really like to say thank you from my deep heart always.

When i was coming to join this i was in a bad and in a negative mind.I was in depression.But after entering Vinyasa i felt like this is something else.

That place was full of positive energies and divinity.

I am going to come here again and i will do a TTC for sure.

"Dissapointed on the false advertise of 50-Hours Yin Training"

The school had a good location, the garden was very green with palm trees and many plants - looked very peaceful. The view was beautiful. The food was delicious to my surprise, this was my biggest worry, but they made sure to have fruits in the mornings and for lunch and dinner vegetables, the cooked food was mild spicy.

The staff and teachers were very nice.

"Holistic Yoga Therapy Course "

I really enjoyed our class schedule, close proximity to shopping/cafes, and the simplicity of the program and ashram. Each subject was interesting in their own way and with time you were able to see how holistic yoga truly is. I had a small group experience with 5 other students completing the 200 hour program and I really enjoyed getting to know these kindhearted, open minded, and curious individuals. The teachers and staff were very supportive, welcoming, and allowed you to learn so much from them. The philosophy, asana, and therapy classes were my favorite! The food was great and you were able to take as many blankets/towels as you wanted! I also loved the dancing and celebrations! I felt truly happy here 😍 I can’t wait to return to Rishikesh!

"Awesome experience !"

My 100hs yoga teacher training at Vinyasa Yoga Academy was a truly amazing experience. I am very grateful for the time I could spend there !

The teachers were very professional and have a wide knowledge they share during classes. The administrative staff was very kind and fulfilled special requests. The food was great, varied and when someone had a particular wish, the kitchen staff tried to include it in the menu.

Im so happy a chose this YTT! This school is amazing. If you are looking for a place with teachers truly teaching from their heart, amazing chefs and food, great accomodation, great administrative staff, that handles all requests you could have, well, then you have found the right place! I spend a month here during the 200 hour programme, and loved every second of it. Such a loving and welcomming atmosphere, and such great knowledge - all at one place! Couldn't be more grateful to have come here. Thank you!

"Nada es como lo anunciado"

Las clases de yoga eran completamente para principiantes por lo que estaban acordes a lo que yo esperaba: una introducción al yoga. El último día me permitieron quedarme 2 horas después del check out sin costó. El masaje gratis.

"amazing and unforgettable Yoga experience"

When I first looked up for schools on the website I immediately had a wonderful feeling with Vinyasa Yoga Accademy and immediately I got in touch with them. The answer I have got back was so amazing that I knew that this was my perfect choice. So within two days I booked the school and the flight and was so excited for my first trip to India!! The welcome at the airport, at the school I will never forget. Every single person has been like a family to me during the whole stay. I felt home. The place is quiet and close to the forest, but everything very close. The food has been prepared with so much love and dedication, incredible. Every day it was different during the whole stay. The centre provides filtered water which is excellent service. The excursions included where amazing! The hospitaity of all people has been very touching. All the people I met in the group have been the best I could ever expect. The teachers are amazing. Beeing so young but which such an excellent professionality, dedication, attention and positivity making all the classes so interesting I wished that the experience would never come to an end... I will always carry this experience in my heart as a treasure and really hope to meet all again on my spiritual path... yes now I know I have a spiritual family also in India. Thanks to all the people in the center and thanks to Rishikesh and their people, their culture, their love I always felt during this wonderful month. Very grateful forever. Namasté

"Yoga in Rishikesh"

From the very first email inquiry, to the facilities, the staff, the seven different instructors, every step of the way thus school exceeded my expectations.

"The best Yoga Teacher Training experience "

The staff were always available. The head of the school (and another few schools in the area) was ALWAYS available for us and showed us such humble grace and hospitality! An incredible human being. The school was very clean and in a lovely location away from the hectic main streets but still only a short walk to the shops and cafes. The teaching was top quality. I learned to much about life and myself and feel confident to teach.

I advise that you must throw yourself fully into the experience! Embrace the culture and rituals and you won't be disappointed.
