I had a truly fantastic stay at Vinyasa Yoga Shala. The people were lovely from the other yogis to the staff and the teachers were highly skilled in their fields. We learned a lot during our time there, and it was clear that everyone was very dedicated and knowledgeable.

The focus is really on learning yoga properly, which means the program is more structured and comes with stricter rules. This is something to be aware of when booking, as there is less focus on free time and leisure. However, extra excursions were organized, which was such a great addition and gave us opportunities to explore and enjoy ourselves outside of the training.

One thing I personally would have loved is a common space to spend time together. The pool area was absolutely stunning, but we were only allowed to use it on Sundays. Since we all became quite close, it would have been lovely to have another place where we could relax and catch up with each other.

Another small thing for me personally was the food. Everything was fresh every day, which I really appreciated, but it was sometimes quite plain and repetitive. It would have been nice to have a bit more variety or a few more options from time to time.

You could really feel that everyone cared a lot and always tried their best to make our stay a great experience. They were very open to feedback and handled criticism in a kind and constructive way, which I appreciated a lot.

Especially Ashish made my stay feel like home at Vinyasa Yoga Shala. No matter what we needed help with or wished for, he was always there to support us in such a kind, friendly, and funny way. He really made the whole experience even more special.
In the end, I would definitely recommend it. We had such a great time, learned so much, and it truly felt like a little family.

The whole vinyasa yoga family is completely amazing! They do any and every thing to make your stay comfortable and fun . The food is fresh always and the teachers are a complete wealth of knowledge if you’re looking for a yoga school , GO HERE THIS IS THE PLACE .

Vinyasa Yogashala are the best for online teaching. I did my 200hr certification and it was thorough, relaxed at your own pace (I did mine in 4 months - but easily could have done in less or more). I loved it. Thank you. Namaste 🧘🏻‍♀️✨🌙

Completing this yoga course has been a deeply enriching and well-supported journey. From start to finish, the course was exceptionally well structured, with each module thoughtfully designed to build upon the previous one in a clear and logical way. The progression felt intentional and balanced, allowing time to absorb, practice, and truly integrate the teachings rather than feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

What truly set this course apart were the teachers. Their depth of knowledge, clarity of instruction, and genuine dedication to their students created an environment of trust and encouragement. They were consistently supportive, patient, and present, making complex concepts accessible and meaningful. The way they combined structure with flexibility allowed each student to grow with confidence while feeling seen and supported throughout the process.

The course content was comprehensive and carefully curated, blending theory and practice in a way that felt grounded and practical. Each session had a clear purpose, and the continuity of the curriculum made it easy to stay engaged and motivated. The teachers’ passion for yoga and for teaching was evident in every class, discussion, and interaction.

This course has not only strengthened my practice but also deepened my understanding of yoga as a whole. I leave with a strong foundation, greater confidence, and genuine gratitude for the guidance and care provided. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a well-organized, thoughtful, and professionally delivered yoga training led by truly exceptional teachers.

The whole experience was just amazing with lot of deep insights about what we have learned!

I’d strongly recommend this place for anyone even if he/she is just a fresh started towards this journey! They make sure you get to learn the basics and make you empowered to continue this journey on your own!

Great school, great teachers, great staff who cared for us like family.

I’m glad to have completed my 200 hour YTTC at Vinyasa Yogashala, Rishikesh. Having done my research on Yoga schools in Rishikesh I’m glad I chose this one.

The amount and variety of information that was covered in this short duration of 3 weeks is to be appreciated. With equal weightage to Asana practice, anatomy, philosophy, Mantra and teaching techniques, it was a wholesome experience.

I personally got so many tangents on which I want to explore Yoga further. This course gave me a sneak peek into how vast the world of Yoga is. Such knowledgeable teachers who were willing to extend help when needed is not something you find everyday.

The admin and kitchen staff were always present to help us with any queries and concerns and we were served such delicious Sattvic food everyday.

I’d like to thank Vinyasa Yogashala for this beautiful experience 🙏🏼😊

Les cours de yoga pratique et théorie sont d'une grande qualité et les professeurs sont excellents et Respect. L'équipe de management est très à l'écoute et toujours disponible. Les repas sont délicieux.
Je recommande vivement cette école.

Very good course. Complete, very helpful staff, the content is all helpful, interesting, I have enjoy it since the beginner. I feel I have learn a lot and it made me get more into yoga, now I understand more and I also feel more confidence.
Thank you

Absolutely loved my time at vinyasa yogashala! The food was honestly the best food i have had, and the chefs really put their heart into their cooking. The classes were challenging and fun, and I really enjoyed learning from the teachers here. I would recommend this yoga school!

I really LOVED doing the online course!!! Loved the teachers and the videos. I almost felt as if I was tehere in India with you xxx

I am really pleased with my course with Vinyasa Yogashala. The teachers were professional and knowledgeable, I got answers to my questions promptly, and the contents were abundant enough to have a good idea of the philosophy and practise of yoga. Thank you!

I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training at the magical vinyasa yogashala! Everything about this experience was spectacular! The school buildings and accommodation are super clean and have everything you need. All the staff and teachers are wholesome impressive human beings all with an abundance of teachings and compassion. You live, train and learn in an environment that is 100% focused on giving you an immersive and authentic experience. In my opinion yoga school is not about luxury, it’s about the fundamental experience of yoga. We all have different preferences for class times, sleeping conditions, food, teaching styles and yogashala try to accommodate as much as possible for their students, it’s honestly insane the lengths they go for their students wellbeing, health and safety. You are treated like family.
Anyways, all the food is seasonal, intentionally picked to keep all yoginis/yogis nurtured inside and out throughout their journey at yogashala. If you are looking for an adventure, the next step on your yogic journey there is only one place to go and that’s Vinyasa Yogashala! The school teaches you philosophy, anatomy, meditation, mantra, all styles of physical yoga, nutrition, karmic yoga, day trips, workshops such as sound healing, body movement, reiki and MORE! I can’t wait to return for my 300 hour certification. Thank you deeply, Yogshala family I am truly blessed to have crossed paths with you all. All the best in your own journeys. Namaste🙏🏻

I’m super gratefull! It was a turning point in my life! I leave the school very happy with everything I experienced! I found a new family and learned so much about the roots of yoga, giving me greater awareness for my spiritual path! Eternally grateful to Vinyasa Yogashala!

Excellent course
I have enjoyed doing this course since the beginning. Very good support. The books and videos with very clear and good explanations so you can understand and learn.
The zoom practice lessons were very good. Friendly people and really good teachers, the best.
Thank you

I really enjoyed the online 200 hour YTT. The course was well structured and easy to access. The lessons were interesting with knowledgeable teachers. Any questions I had were always answered promptly. The live zoom weekly meetings were available even if you couldn’t attend in person. I would recommend this course.

Overall had a mixed experience while on the program, and a TERRIBLE experience after leaving. I graduated in July and received my certificate in person, but then the school refused to certify me through Yoga Alliance (either due to clerical error or spite over a bad review I left). They ignored all of my messages for a month and finally approved my certification after I filed a grievance with YA, but I never received an explanation or apology. Below is my review of the program itself.

First THE GOOD.
LOCATION: Great location close to the shops of Tapovan and a bunch of excellent cafes. It's further from the main road so often quiet.

FOOD: The kitchen staff was incredible and the food was delicious. Everything was healthy and fresh and the Indians in the program said it was all authentic flavors and spices.

HATHA, ASHTANGA, PHILOSOPHY, AND ANATOMY: I adored my teachers for these classes. There were knowledgeable and excellent at teaching the context of what we were learning to help us improve as well as how to apply what we were learning as teachers.-----

THE MEDIOCRE AND BAD
COMMUNICATION/SCHEDULE:The schedule changed a lot more than I expected and often it was communicated last minute. We would be waiting for a teacher who never showed up and find out an hour later via text that something had come up and they weren't coming. Missed classes were then often rescheduled for early morning on our only day off. It was hard to figure out who to speak with or get information from when we had questions. Our testing schedule wasn't given to us until about 9 PM the night before final exams which stressed a lot of us out (you teach a 45 minute lesson and take a written exam spread out over two days). When things did go wrong in our rooms (water shutting off, leaks, etc.) it was hard to get a hold of people and they were slow to fix things. Also, there were a TON of mistakes in their textbook and it often made it confusing when we would read one thing and hear something else in class from a teacher.

VINYASA, MEDITATION, AYURVEDA, YOGA THERAPY
This is the real reason I have regrets about choosing this school. These four classes felt like a waste of time. The vinyasa teacher was often unprepared, he let students get him completely off track, and he regularly tried to get us into advanced poses without enough preparation or proper alignment.The meditation teacher provided absolutely no structure and led guided meditations without ever explaining his approach or how to lead them ourselves. He was dismissive of other teachers in the program and western practitioners in general and often gave us the sense he didn't trust us with his knowledge. The ayurveda teacher was very nice, but basically just spent two weeks listing information about doshas that we could read in a book without giving any practical or contextual knowledge.The yoga therapy teacher was VERY highly educated, but he spent most of his time telling us about all the things we needed a higher degree to practice, and gave us almost nothing practical to take away with that we could use or reference as teachers.

RIGOR
The last thing that really upset me was how lax the program was about attendance. They sent a few texts reminding us we needed to attend classes, but they certified everyone, including students who missed up to half of the classes which felt like a symptom of them not caring or paying attention to what was happening. As a slap in the face, I attended EVERY class and somehow was denied my initial certification with no reason given (I had passed both the written and teaching exams). When they finally rectified their mistake, I received no apology or explanation.

This course has been absolutely amazing. The teachers are fantastic, they pass on a lot of information . They are always available for any questions or concerns you may have. We have also been encouraged to go beyond what we thought our limits may be. Absolutely one of the best things I have done is joining here. My expectations were more than met. A very well-structured course Although I originally only planned to improve my lifestyle posture and stay healthy in body and mind, I learned to like teaching more and more, as the course went on. Now I have reached a point where I would love to share my newly gained knowledge with others in need. I can sincerely recommend it to anybody who considers becoming a yoga teacher.

 

 

 

 

My sister, wife and myself attended 100 hour program at Vinyasa Yogasala. We did thorough research online before selecting the Institute. However we were little nervous as we were coming without knowing the place, people and was not referred by anyone. We are beginners and also were hoping this will help us to start the journey in to Yoga. The Institute, Teaching Staff, Support Staff, Kitchen Staff, Accommodation facilities, everything GREATLY EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. We are very happy that we choose to do this course and specifically we selected Vinyasa Yoghasala for this. All the teaching staff (Ashish Ji, Jeet Ji, Shivam Ji , Aman Ji. Sushant Ji. Rozee Ji. and others ) are extremely knowledgeable, very cordial, very passionate to teach us. They spent time with us ensuring we understood the theory and practical aspects of this and also were there to answer any questions after the class. The Kitchen staff and the food is AMAZING. It’s very well made, healthy and tasty. We had to ask for some recipes from the chef. The admin staff (Ravi Ji, Abhishek Ji and others) are very responsive and quick in addressing our needs. The excursion activities were good break when needed. The spacing of classes with breaks is apt. Overall, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, Vinyasa Yogasala to anyone, who want to choose any Yoga program. This 100 hour program provided us with a holistic perspective of Yoga and helped to start our long journey. I hope to come back to this institute in the future.

Couldn’t have had a better experience. As soon as you arrive you are greeted with an overwhelming sense of feeling right at home and like you and your journey is the most important thing to the team at Vinyasa.

Jeet, an inspiring, relatable and down to earth guy, Shivam the wonderfully smart anatomy teacher, Manesh with his profound philosophy teachings, every member of the team here is so well educated and cares so deeply about what they practice you can’t not be inspired.

A even bigger and special mention has to go to Abishek, who looks after Student Welfare, he’s always there to help, answer any questions, make things happen. He makes the experience all the more easy.

And last but certainly not least Sunil and his kitchen team! They work tirelessly to accommodate for every student; every dietary and turn out 3 meals a day for 3 weeks straight. There work should go underrated. Without them we would not be able to do the work we were lucky enough to do. Immense gratitude for their fantastic food.

As for all the other details, the rooms were modern, clean and tidy, the vinyasa team even when out of their way to accomodate for people struggling with the heat and installed 3 new air conditioning units throughout bedrooms as well as the dining space. A real dedication to the student experience.

I look forward to seeing you guys again in the not too distant future.

Keep building the legacy you’re building and thank you again
