Mathatitu Yoga Ashram

Training was full of knowledge and practice, I really felt what real yoga means and I realised a lot about myself and my skills. Most of the teachers are amazing and professional, I always felt comfortable asking questions :) Food is delicious, the room is small but comfortable, it’s very close to beautiful beaches and nice spots to grab a coffee. Training for me was very intense, but at the same time I felt that I could do as much as I wanted. I also loved meditation, philosophy and Ayurveda classes :)

Enseignement excellent.

Professeurs très professionnels et compréhensibles (bon niveau d’anglais)

Diversité des enseignements et matériels d’apprentissage complet.

The yoga instructors were exceptionally experienced and their teaching was of the highest quality.

It’s been a very intense 28 days experience, much more than what was in the curriculum, that was, anyway, complete and highly formative.

Most important was the friendly mood generated by the life at the ashram, mood shared by all the students regardless of age, background and provenance, under the attentive supervision of Anoop the manager and his lovely tireless wingman Anandou.

All the teachers were very competent, deeply trained and admirably skilled, but most important very supportive and sympathetic.

starting from Rishikesh Haha master and yin yoga teacher Nitin; his brother Bipin ashtanga, alignment and very useful biomechanics tips; energetic and sweet Rahul [s] -both of them!-; the brilliant and hilarious doctors teaching Ayurveda, human body and nutrition; Anoop, rigorous ashatanga and especially dharana and deep meditation; Sanathanan philosophy (not just information but pervading the whole present) and mantra chanting (leading opening and closing uplifting ceremonies); and first of all, first lesson of the day, Prana Ji with his incredibly fulfilling and healing pranayama, his lessons cannot be told must be experienced.

The delicious food, typical Indian recipes, prepared by two beautiful lady chefs with sweet deep black eyes whom I want to warmly thank again!

Die Lage ist wunderbar und trotz sehr schlechter Organisation sind die Leute da lieb.

Les cours de yoga

I had a great experience with Mathatitu. The asana teachers Anil and Bipin are exceptional, not only extremely knowledgeable in what they do, but fantastic guys as well. The food is tasty, the rooms are basic, which is fine, considering the price. The location is a huge advantage, you can literally see the ocean from the shala and the beach is 2 mins away, so you can go for a quick dip even if you have a short break. Lots of cafes, restaurants and small shops in the area as well. The training is quite intense, it's not a holiday for sure, but I learned so much in the month I spent there. If this is your first time in India, I think that Varkala is a great choice. Not so busy, the views from the cliff are amazing and the sunsets in the sea after a tough ashtanga class are something I will definitely remember.

I apreciated thé variety and thé different subjects that I was thought during my course. I think that I learned an overhelming ammount of information for 28 days, probably I will need several months to fix all this knowledge in my mind. The course was valable, especially with the hydillic location out of Varkala. I was helped by the practical support of Anil and the logistical support of Anoop.

I’m really happy about the choice I made with Mathatitu. The teachers provided so much wonderful knowledge in such a short time. i feel like I learned so much from everyone of them.

The classes were amazing

The food was really good and there was always enough for everyone and you could tell it was made with love and attention

It's a very nice and really relaxing place.

La diversité des cours proposés, des traitements ayurvédique. Le professionnalisme des professeurs de yoga et de thérapeutes en ayurveda. La qualité des repas, la gentillesse de tout le monde mais surtout de Anoop le boss avec qui il y a toujours une solution, pas de problèmes. La facilité de rencontrer des gens du monde entier.

Beautiful stay !! Food, rooms, staff location and yoga was the best in India! Bipin ji is amazing — thank you Anoop for an amazing stay!

The teaching at Mathatitu ashram is the BEST that I've experienced. We had Anil & Bipin as our primary asana and alignment teachers - both equally skilled, inspiring and demanding. It will be very difficult to go back to western-style classes after experiencing the levels that I've experienced with these outstanding yogi talents. Sanathanan, a constant presence of calm and stability as our philosophy teacher, a true guru. Kavita, our pranayama teacher, an incredible source of knowledge who really cares about her students - I found her teachings and warmth to be the most surprising and life-changing. Anoop, the organ-grinder, often quietly in the background, again, a constant source of calm for yogis and teachers alike. All of the supporting staff work so hard and are kind - including Yogesh and Manu.

I should add, that whilst I have had an amazing experience here, I can understand why the reviews are variable of Mathatitu - if you are looking for an authentic, potentially life-changing, challenging, inspiring & demanding course - pick Mathatitu. If, however, you are looking for a retreat, a nice holiday, with a bit of light yoga thrown in - perhaps you should try somewhere else, eg a package holiday on Booking.com :) At Mathatitu, the schedule is busy, the teachers will push you, you won't be constantly praised or adored - but perhaps, you will grow as a person, & develop into the kind of teacher that others will one day be inspired by. See you soon, Mathatatu - thank you :)

I am grateful and happy I was able to learn so much more about yoga and get the Yoga Alliance certification.

I recommend the yoga school for anyone who wants to deepen their yoga practice, especially Astanga yoga, and is open to yoga philosophy and Hindu spirituality. I also learned more about Ayurveda, witch I really like.

The teachers know a lot and share their experience, as well as the information you won't find on the internet.

The ashram management was open to feedback and implemented wishes of the participants, e.g. food requests.

They were also very helpful as I needed a new visa.

The ashram also has a full masseur and an Ayurvedic doctor, which I recommend.

I will most likely come again, as they now offer another, better location, also in different price ranges.

The school is also an ashram, but very uncomplicated and friendly.

I had to shed a tear when I left them ;)

Thank you for everything!

I like the flexibility, availability, and reliability of the instructors. The food was always prepared on time however there was not many options of sattvic organic fruit and vegetables available.

This was my 2nd YTT and the whole teacher training was very nice, I really learnt a lot, especially by having so many teachers. I liked the fact we had classes in Ayurveda as well, and were taught how to do ayurvedic massages. The location of the ashram is very central which gives you an opportunity to explore restaurants and shops. The view from Yogshala to the Varkala cliff always made any difficult class much easier, with a touch of breeze. Would definetly recommend this yoga school

Anoop and the whole team here are really quite amazing. All the teachers are so knowledgeable and welcoming. The level of teaching is exceptional (I went to a professional dance college and it was no different) if you really want to immerse yourself in yoga as a way of life, this is the place for you. The vegetarian food was also really tasty, diverse and colourful...thanks again to all!

The location is super nice just in front of the ocean and the food is amazing and very healthy. The quality of the classes is very good, there are amazing teachers specially Swami Taponidhi, Pankaj, Santosh, Nitin and all the others that I can not write the names properly.

Un lieu unique à kappil. L'équipe qui gère l'hébergement très sympathique et dévouée.

3 professeurs extrêmement compétents et bienveillants.

Great teaching

Good, thorough and intense program

But right by the beach so lunch breaks can be spent there

Learnt a lot and laughed a lot

Spent a long time working out where to go - honestly so pleased with this choice

I really enjoyed my stay on mathatitu. The location is very good, right near the beach and you can easily go for a swim inbetween classes. I think the food was amazing.

The teachers are very good and they have big knowledge about yoga and feels really committed to their work.

I'm so happy with my stay and I will definitely come back!

Everything. Location is amazing and really this is the best value for money in India. I was never sick and the staff and yoga teachers are incredible.

The teachers were amazing. Such a great time. Will always keep in mind. It helped me a lot on my spiritual path.

The staff is really friendly it feels like a family. Very safe. The theatcher were amasing , I learned soo much.

Ruimte en vrijheid om zelf iets te doen.

Amazing location, all the people and the staff made my experience unforgettable, the quality of the teachers was perfect to seize the course at maximum!

Had a really great time - August’18. I’m very thankful to all teachers for knowledge and energy they share with us. Philosophy classes was full of history and amazing stories, Asana classes was very helpful in terms of teaching classes. As we had a lot of alignment classes, so u can practice your teaching skills. A bit of sanscrit and Ayurveda knowledge- it’s a great bonus for whole course. And of course food was really delicious, but in case u want something different u will find it- a lot of restaurants around. Most beautiful for me is location- very natural, peaceful, has an amazing ocean view ❤️

Everything was student oriented and everyone was so helpful. I enjoyed my every moment. I have learned a lot and I started thinking for 300.

Great knowledge, food amazing, lovely teacher and place with high energy. I hightly recomand to come here. I expected nothing at the begining and finaly this choice was one of the best of my life. With particulary thanks to Shibin and Uma

The staff and tutors were excellent and I met a lot of lovely people. The location is fantastic although it's a far reach to call it an ashram. I would do the course again as it was an amazing experience.

I think that the best of the course it was the teachers quality and their commitment with the teaching process.

I have learned a lot from every one of them, the kind of learning that you dont forget because it stays deeper in your head and your body.

Thanks for everything!
