Yog Temple

It was a life changing experience for me. I really needed the "reset" from technology, society, etc. After spending 4 days at the retreat, my nervou system was completely relaxed.

It's still a tough and challenging experience, especially for someone used to live alone and have a lot of freedom. I also struggled quite a lot with the food and wished it was portioned based on the person's size (height/weight), but even though I struggled with the food, I know that it helped me a lot at the end in being more relaxed.

In summary, an amazing intense experience that not only teaches you how to become a teacher, but sparks your interest in a lot of other areas.

I'm also very grateful that Nipun and Leni let me bring my blind cat Gijsje with me, as she's really a special part of my spiritual journey.

Thank you both!

I came to YogTemple as part of a healing journey, with few expectations and an open curiosity. I had wanted to do my YTT in India but due to COVID those plans had changed. After lots of research, I found this to be the next best thing as I was looking for an authentic and holistic Hatha yoga training. This did not disappoint. Nipun is firmly grounded in the classical traditions and was a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. He has high expectations of all of his students and inspires them to do and be their best. Leni’s style of teaching directly complemented Nipun’s. Her classes were also engaging and made me question my own assumptions. This was a truly unique experience and completely transformative for me. Living a yogic lifestyle in an ashram environment, which included karma yoga-sharing chores-for 3 weeks really reinforced and solidified all the learning and established new healthy habits. And the incredibly beautiful and peaceful environment near the lake and woods and gardens just added to the serenity of the experience. I highly recommend this experience.

I don't really know where to start, I loved so much about this course.

The ashram is amazing as are the facilities, the food is great, the course is run very professionally with a full schedule with a great balance of practical and theoretical work.

Most of all Leni and Nipun are what make this course special. They live and breathe Yoga, so the phrase "practice what you preach" really applies here.

If you are looking to learn about classical Hatha, as it has been pasted down for thousands of years... look no further!

The passion and devotion Leni and Nippun dedicate to their ashram is incredible. It is a place where you can feel at home and be truly nurtured.

Magic happens when you combine the ancient wisdoms of yoga and shamanism.

This retreat left me feeling more balanced and in touch with my body and soul.

Thank you Leni en Nippun for creating this extraordinary place!

I have felt very welcomed and valued by Nipun and Leni. The daily activities were very well guided, letting me feel like I belong at all times and that my needs and wishes are understood and integrated. I highly recommend this retreat to everybody looking for a holistic yoga experience.

It was a nice week and I learned a lot. There where interesting topics to learn, like the chakras i.e. I learned to engage more discipline in my life and new habits/routines to start off with. Nipun and Leni are very welcoming kind people.

Eine Wohltat für Körper Geist und Seele in einer herzlichen und harmonischen Umgebung. Ich habe viel gelernt und die Wirksamkeit der ganzheitlichen Kombination von Yoga, Meditation, Schamanischen Heilreisen und Ayurvedischer Ernährung in meinem Körper gespürt. Leni und Nipun sind zwei ganz besondere Menschen mit einem tiefen Wissen. Danke für diese wertvolle Zeit.

Leni and Nipun are extraordinary human beings, and their dedication to other people well being is remarkable.

My life will never be the same: I have learned so much about myself, about what I can do to live a better life, so many tools, that I can only say that I will come back for the New Years retreat. Unforgettable experience and extremely impactful.

Leni and Nipun had a particular and appropriate care to give to me.

The yoga teacher training (200h) at Yog Temple is an excellent place to complete your training. The course is intense and very complete and diverse. The quality of the teaching was of very high value and authenticity.

Nipun knows exactly how to guide the future teachers into the physical practice of yoga and its teaching whereas Leni is an excellent anatomy and Ayurvedic teacher. The location itself offers beautiful daily walks and the perfect place for self-study and a focused environment. The course is extremely serious and you really feel Nipun and Leni wish to make you as serious and authentic with your teaching and practice as they are.

Three weeks go by very fast - take everything you can and give everything you have.
