Om Shanti Om Yoga Ashram

Quality of teaching, excursions and friendliness.

I was really impressed with everything with Om Shanti Om. The yoga was tough, but good, the food was better than expected and the outings were fun. Everyone at Om Shanti Om was lovely to deal with. Would highly recommend this school and would definitely go back.

The yoga instruction by Dinesh and others was second to none. The classes were very fun, informative, and helped us progress quickly. The food was incredible, and we went on some really fun excursions with one of the guys who works there. He doesn't speak English, but is so kind and bubbly, that we still had an amazing time. Also, the location is perfect.

I enjoyed learning about the Philosophy of Yoga, Ayurveda Medicine, Pranayama breathing, Mantra Chanting, Yoga Alignment, Excursions organised by the school, Networking with other students, Shopping in Rishikesh, the food was delicious and the Hotel Grand Galaxy location and room. More Spiritual training and less Physical training; so not for physically advanced persons who want a physical challenge.

Yoga lesson by master Dinesh is really good.

The atmosphere, teachers, food, people....It was an amazing experience. I deepen into my knowlegde in Yoga a lot and it has encouraged me to keep learning more than ever

The variety, the yoga and how friendly and inviting Dinesh and Priya were. Dinesh made yoga light hearted and fun.

I would highly recommend this yoga retreat. I really enjoyed the yoga classes and thought Dinesh the instruction was brilliant. Everyone who teaches/ works within the retreat are very friendly and cantnot do enough to make your stay a happy one. I thought that it was great value for money with lots of activities to keep you busy throughout the week. We even did white water rafting and was taken to a temple in the mountains to watch the sunrise. Laughing yoga was very fun and I really enjoyed dancing yoga with Swami. The accommodation was good, with comfy beds, hot shower and Good wifi. Make sure you take advantage of the 3 massages included as these are very relaxing.

This was absolutely the Yoga experience of a lifetime. The teachers, classes, and surrounding environment far exceeded my expectations. Yogi Dinesh was hilarious. I never imagined that there would be so much enjoyment and light-heartedness from this intense training.

- Dinesh is a good yoga teacher - encourages people and has classes that work for a range of abilities.

- Around Rishikesh there are nice places to go (eg walks to the waterfalls, calm ashrams, small temples and calm places by the river).

- Generally, the staff at Om Shanti Om are friendly and helpful.

- In Rishikesh there are lots of things to do - places to eat, shopping, activities (rafting, safari, trips to Himalayas).

- Unless you book the 'retreat', classes here are very affordable. All students were welcome to take part in other activities such as morning and evening pooja/prayers.

Dinesh and Priya take care of us all the time. I improve my yoga and knowledge about philosophy which serve me to change my life in the best way that could be. I am greatful for all the experience I lived with all the teachers and colleagues at the school.

Yogi Dinesh is friendly and accommodating which made it easy for someone like me who had never done Yoga before to take Yoga lessons for the first time.

Everything, it completely changed my life!!!

The teachers was excellent and very dedicated!

I was lucky whit my "hotel" room.
