"Deep and enriching experience!"
I ended up at Pokhara Yoga School almost by accident but I’m so glad I did! I came away with a much fuller understanding of yoga and skills that I can continue to use for the rest of my life. The course was very detailed, covering meditation, pranayama, Hatha and Ashtanga asanas, proper alignment and how to assist and adjust in classes. The location is also perfect. It is so relaxing, peaceful and the rooms are very clean. The teachers are amazing and the entire staff are so kind. Can’t recommend this school enough.

"Una experiencia increíble "
Los profesores son atentos y muy profesionales. Gracias a esta experiencia he podido mejorar en la práctica del yoga y ahondar en el conocimiento del ser. Puedo decir que la rutina en esta escuela incluyendo las clases, la comida y el descanso han hecho que ahora me sienta en un mayor balance y también sienta más serenidad. Sin duda un destino recomendable. Volvería a hacerlo cien veces.

"¡Excelente! Recomendable 100%"
Absolutely everything.
I have done 100 hours of YTT and I will return in 15 days to do 100 more hours and finish the 200 hours.
Binod is the one who manages the school and helps you with everything you need. The teachers are excellent. The food is excellent, abundant, varied and delicious. The school and all the people who work at the school. The quality of the training: Ashtanga Vinyasa, Hatha, Adjustments, Pranayama, Meditation,... And the family that all students form. If you can, do not hesitate to take your training here.
The school is located in Pokhara, a 20-minute walk from the center, in a very quiet place, surrounded by nature, a space to disconnect from the outside and focus on learning. Normally you have one day off every 5 days of training, and you can go down to the city. The daily training schedule is from 6am to 8pm, with some free hours for study, self-practice and rest.
I am very grateful to the entire team at Pokhara Yoga School and Retreat Center for the good treatment and know-how.
Thank you so much!

"A very peaceful place for Yoga"
A magical place for yoga! I completed my 300 hours training here and I'm very happy with that decision. Great teachers and a very committed staff that is very attentive to the students make this school a wonderful place of silence, peace and learning on all levels.
The vegetarian/vegan cuisine is varied and a delight, although I was missing a vegan milk option for breakfast, but that seems to be generally difficult in Nepal.
The school is located in nature away from the city, which is still within easy walking distance. You can relax very well in the garden, jump into the beautiful and lovingly maintained pool and of course practice yoga with a view of the valley and the lake.
In short: If you are looking for an inspiring place of peace and transformation for your yoga training, you have to come to Pokhara Yoga School. Thanks for everything and to everyone!

"Amazing 300H YTT"
I did my 300H YTT here. The place is amazing, full of beautiful energies with a wonderful view on Fewa Lake. There are a lot of plants and flowers which make the place a really peaceful environment surrounded by nature. It was perfect environment for learning yoga.
The food is really good, the service is perfect, and I loved my room, it was really comfortable (I had a private room).
As for the Yoga Training Program, I learned a lot and I am beyond greatful for the teachers who were really talented and full of knowledge. Ashok and Neha were my main teachers and I learned a lot from them. I don't regret my choice of choosing this school.
Thanks again for this unforgettable experience. See you again

"Amazing 3 weeks"
The school is in the middle of a hill and above a village not far from the town, which means we had a great view of the mountains and the lake, and peaceful surroundings. All 4 teachers (Rishiji, Chetanji, Nehaji, and Ashokji) were super knowledgeable, experienced, patient and friendly. I definitely learned more than I expected. The school management team was superb too. Staff was all friendly and sincere. Our needs for accommodation, laundry, food and etc were always met on time with good quality. The room I stayed in was clean, spacious, and had a wonderful view of the Fewa Lake. The school could arrange for room cleaning service upon our request. The food here is way beyond expectation. I noticed that some schools in India had reviews that the food varieties were poor. However, in Pokhara Yoga School, we always got different food every day which were all super delicious and I always ate too much... Sometimes I hoped some food that I liked could repeat more because they were too good...

"Highly recommended "
I have completely this yoga teacher training in Jan. 2023 and am very pleased with the experiences and results. The yoga school is really taking care of their students, regarding almost all the aspects. The staffs are friendly and they can always sense students' needs and provide immediate assistant. The food is amazing, delicious and abundant. So, you should not worry about getting hungry or lacking of nutrition at all (me personally, I had this concern before the training). The location is not very far from the city, in the middle of the mountain, with a beautiful lake view. You can enjoy the sunshine during most of the daytime. The teacher training covered a wide range of topics, from the yoga philosophy, pranayama, poses and techniques, to concepts such as meditation, anatomy and the art of teaching. The teachers were knowledgeable and passionate about their subject and were able to provide clear and helpful guidance throughout the course. Moreover, I appreciate that all the teachers are very punctual according to the schedule. Overall, I have learned a lot from this teacher training and become much more confident of my own yoga practice and also being myself as a yoga teacher. Highly recommended to other students.
