"Unforgettable experience"
This experience was life changing, and I’m so thankful to the school for providing me so much. All of the teachers were experienced, kind, deeply caring. They each gave individual support and guidance, helped people from many levels of ability, and increased our strength and knowledge. Some classes were very structured with a set syllabus (pranayama, ashtanga, meditation) and others had more room for us to choose what we wanted to focus on based on our interests (ex. philosophy, hatha, anatomy). Our small class size made the experience very intimate and allowed for beautiful self introspection while also receiving a lot of personalized support.
The food was amazing every day, zero complaints. If there’s something you feel like you’re missing from your diet it’s very easy to find something else nearby, but the food was delicious every single meal. The location is also very central and convenient while not being in the middle of a very busy area, the grassy area out front made a perfect place for lounging in the sun and self practice. We even got to have our classes outside, and one day we took class by the Ganga! The excursions were also really fun and well organized, which was a lovely treat considering none of us knew about it or asked for it. This place was so wonderful I decided to stay for the 50hr yin course and had an amazing experience there as well, a perfect compliment to wrap up the month. Cannot recommend enough.

"Such an amazing experience 💕"
I had a wonderful experience at Rishikesh Traditional Yoga School and after hearing about other friends experiences of other schools, I wouldn't have gone anywhere else and am very happy for my choice ☺️ for the price, you get a lot for your money including some alternative classes like cooking, aerial yoga and sound healing as well as excursions every weekend (trips to temples, rafting etc.) which I couldn't believe.
All of the teachers are very kind, patient and knowledgeable and I always felt comfortable asking them questions - they even emphasized that I could reach out to them for help with my yoga journey once I'd gone home which was so kind. I felt I got some great practice in my yoga and developed some new and helpful techniques.
We had a lovely shala which let in great light and had a wonderful view of the mountains. The locations generally of this school was great as it was off a quiet road so you're away from any stress and close to the nicest cafes in Tapovan.
Rajeev (the owner) and Pammi (the building manager) were both really responsive and answered any queries or requests we had very quickly.
The food we had every day was nourishing, diverse and just absolutely delicious which you really need when you're working hard every day! The chef is incredible!
All in all I wouldn't change my experience for the world - I learnt a lot, felt very supported, met some great people and I would definitely return to Rishikesh Traditional Yoga School 💕

"Exactly was I was hoping for and more - 5 stars! "
The teachers were really nice and professional, the food was delicious, fresh and healthy and the school provided for everything including many excursions to nearby temples, waterfalls, river rafting and the city. Also, the group was very heterogeneous with people from abroad and India as well. With this, we could get to know Indian culture even better besides having excellent training in yoga. Highly recommended!

"A very worthwhile experience!"
I thoroughly enjoyed my days at the yoga centre, I feel I have learnt a lot and the staff did a fantastic job of showing me around the area as well!
The perfect way to kick start my yoga journey.
Although I was the only one doing the retreat at the time I was always included with the teacher training group and made to feel at home.
I made some great friends and look forward to returning one day.
A massive thanks to the teachers, cooks and volunteers.
A special thanks to Gaurav for the classes and excursions and to Pammi for always making sure everything was organised and my needs were met 😊🙏🏼

"Thank you 😊 "
My YTT 200 Yoga journey at Rishikesh Traditional Yoga School was such an enriching experience. The teachers were thorough and guided us in depth with expertise and care. They were happy to be there and you could feel that in their classes.
Pammi's constant support and quick resolution of any concerns made the stay smooth. Any concerns were addressed, allowing me to focus wholeheartedly on learning. I am so grateful for the time spent here. This school is a gem for those seeking to immerse themselves in the practice and philosophy of yoga.
The food was nourishing and as a woman traveling solo, I felt very secure where we were. Overall such a beautiful experience✨
Thank you Rishikesh Yoga School 🙏

Ich hatte eine super schöne Zeit an der Rishikesh traditional Yoga school. Nach meinem ersten Yoga teacher training wollte ich tiefer in die Yogaphilosophie eintauchen und habe einen 100 Stunden holistic Yoga Kurs gebucht. Meine Erwartungen wurden mehr als übertroffen! Alle Lehrer sind unfassbar kompetent und man spürt, dass Yoga wirklich eine Lebensphilosophie ist. Auch die Exkursionen (z.B. Rafting) waren außerordentlich gut organisiert und haben den Zusammenhalt in der Gruppe verstärkt.
Die Zimmer sind sauber und gepflegt, das Essen äußerst lecker!
Würde jederzeit wieder hier buchen. Danke für diese wunderbare Arbeit!

I just finished my 200h TTC in Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga at Rishikesh Traditional Yoga School. I loved it so much that I stayed more for the Yin Yoga Training as well. It was a tough decision to choose this school among hundreds of others and I am So GLAD that I completed my training here and had the chance to meet these incredible people!
The teachers are great ! They are experienced , confident and love to teach- this was the most important. You can really see the effort they put in their teachings and sharing their knowledge. They empathize in hard times - (the course can get intense sometimes!) - and always there to support you. Practicing in a small class was amazing- it created a family environment where we bonded instantly. Each of us received great attention from all the teachers, throughout the course all the teachers knew and remembered what’s wrong with who, who likes what and not.Thanks to the amazing chef Sunilji! He really knows how to satisfy both our eyes and mouth . He manages to make the sattvic healthy diet exciting.The school is located at upper Tapovan, far from the hustle bustle of the city, right by the forest with beautiful mountain views. Close to the nature with a forest path right by and a waterfall, yet 3 minutes away to lovely cafes and hangout spots. You get to pick what you feel like.Overall it was an amazing experience! Thank you very much to the management and all staff members from teachers to kitchen and cleaning.
I will be back!!

Just finished the 200hr ytt and a 50 hr yin yoga course with Rishikesh Traditional Yoga School, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my first time in India or doing a ytt.
All the teachers and staff were very knowledgable, caring and helpful. The location is great - 20 mins walk from the river ganges surrounded by lots of cafes and conveniences but slightly distanced from the busier streets. Accommodation is basic but decent, and the food was delicious and cooked with thought and love.
Outside of the course, some amazing excursions and activities were planned for us such as sound healing, intro to ayurveda and rafting and we lucked out being here for diwali and getting invited to a few weddings. I genuinely left feeling like part of the family. Thank you to everyone at RISHIKESH TRADITIONAL YOGA SCHOOL!

"TTC at Rishikesh Traditional Yoga School"
My favourite part about the whole experience were the teachers we learned from. They all had so much knowledge to share and treated students with the utmost respect. I also really enjoyed the food and being able to see the mountain right outside my window AND from the yoga hall where we practice.
