"Online experience as powerful as an in-person one"
The approach of the teachers was one of a kind. I was challenged by their immense knowledge many times and got an opportunity to grow thanks to that. I really felt like I had left the comfort zone of asanas and dove deeper into the yogic philosophy. I felt encouraged and welcome to ask any questions, which were never left unanswered. The possibility of interacting with other students was something I had hoped for, and I am happy to say we evolved into a lovely group, meeting 6 days a week to practice and learn together. Finally, the amount of knowledge provided is vast, and I mean: vaaast. Not only are the live online classes a great opportunity to learn about hatha yoga and alignment, as well as yoga philosophy, but they are also supported with many more videos and assignments on a web platform. You can do those assignments at your own pace, and trust me when I say you will get to experience so many different aspects of yoga. When you sign up for the 200h YTTC, as I did, you get the experience of live classes, but you are also rewarded with a beautiful set of classes on yoga nidra, meditation, pranayama, mantras, bandhas and much more.

"Best time of my life"
I found this place like my home.Everyone was so much lovely.I am in love with that place,with all staffs and with teachers also. I would really like to say thank you from my deep heart always.
When i was coming to join this i was in a bad and in a negative mind.I was in depression.But after entering Vinyasa i felt like this is something else.
That place was full of positive energies and divinity.
I am going to come here again and i will do a TTC for sure.
And really i am going to miss you all.
Thank you again for changing my and mostly thank you Yogi Vishnu ji for accepting me.Love you all ❤

"Dissapointed on the false advertise of 50-Hours Yin Training"
The school had a good location, the garden was very green with palm trees and many plants - looked very peaceful. The view was beautiful. The food was delicious to my surprise, this was my biggest worry, but they made sure to have fruits in the mornings and for lunch and dinner vegetables, the cooked food was mild spicy.
The staff and teachers were very nice.

"Holistic Yoga Therapy Course "
I really enjoyed our class schedule, close proximity to shopping/cafes, and the simplicity of the program and ashram. Each subject was interesting in their own way and with time you were able to see how holistic yoga truly is. I had a small group experience with 5 other students completing the 200 hour program and I really enjoyed getting to know these kindhearted, open minded, and curious individuals. The teachers and staff were very supportive, welcoming, and allowed you to learn so much from them. The philosophy, asana, and therapy classes were my favorite! The food was great and you were able to take as many blankets/towels as you wanted! I also loved the dancing and celebrations! I felt truly happy here 😍 I can’t wait to return to Rishikesh!

"Awesome experience !"
My 100hs yoga teacher training at Vinyasa Yoga Academy was a truly amazing experience. I am very grateful for the time I could spend there !
The teachers were very professional and have a wide knowledge they share during classes. The administrative staff was very kind and fulfilled special requests. The food was great, varied and when someone had a particular wish, the kitchen staff tried to include it in the menu.
