Rishikesh Yogkulam:Yoga Teacher Training School In Rishikesh Arvostelua 

From what started as 'just a trial month' for online classes with Rishikesh Yogkulam,am running in the fourth month as an ardent student. Half way through the first month, I was already enquiring about the schedule for the next month as I didn't want the classes to be over. During these four months, I had the opportunity to be trained by Jittu Sir and Amit Sir. Both with their distinct style of teaching have helped me overcome my barriers of body and mind. The asanas which I struggled for past years in my yoga practice,I managed to attain in just 5th class with Jittu Sir. Amit Sir's explanation and empathetic guidance fills you with belief that it's achievable. After every class I feel so charged,motivated and joyful for the rest of the day. Highly recommend Rishikesh Yogkulam to people who want to move ahead in their practice. Only regret-I wish I knew Rishikesh Yogkulam earlier. Am confident this is the beginning of my long journey with Rishikesh Yogkulam.Thanks for giving me a direction and clearing my vision. Immensely grateful. :)

I think I found One of the best schools in Rishikesh in where to get in a true and Deep contact with the origins and the discipline of the Yoga.
I couldn't Imagine to find so accurate, so motivating and kind teachers: they're all young and dedicate their Life to the subjects they're teaching , they were able to make the group become One thanks to their skills of good teachers and good people full of humanity.
They're all able to make a so Deep training something that can Also be funny, Indeed we (me and the group) never Lost the willing to listen at any of their words. They are all Amazing and made this training a true experience of Life, i came out of this training with a lot of yoga inside me, that Is now part of me FOREVER. They all went Deep in every single subject, sharing their knowledge with patience and being able to get very Deep in all of the arguments.
Now i'm practicing what i learned, and i can't wait to go back to this school for a 300 hours yoga Teacher Training (i did 200 hours) and continue this faboulus journey of yoga.
I Also appreciated very much the Hotel Laxmi Palace, which Is well located and has very Wide and clean rooms, cannot forget the good and healthy food too, prepared with lot of love by beautiful people.
Special thanks to all of my teachers, i can't forget none of them, Amit, Gitu, Manu, Mandip, Nitin, Prem and Ella (the super efficient student coordinator and super prepared italiano translator).
Can't wait to see you back there

I had the most memorable month at Rishikesh Yogkulam. The teachers were absolutely excellent - extremely thorough, knowledgeable and very experienced. I can't recommend this school enough.

Amit was one of the teachers from my 200h TTC and he made a massive impression on me. In fact so much, that I made sure to follow his journey and enrol for my 300h YTT at his school. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your knowledge, motivating us and teaching us how to not only be teachers, but also giving us a better understanding of the yogic way of life. Often wanting to focus on the asana side of yoga, we forget the importance of the philosophy, the anatomy, the meditation and the breathing that plays such an integral part of yoga. Whether I'm going to teach after this or not, I don't know. But one thing I know for sure and that is that I am richer in so many ways. I will carry this experience with me for the rest of my life.

Amit and my fellow students, I truly hope our paths will cross again. My heart feels full and warm as I think back to us dancing after our graduation. Missing you tons! Amit, best of luck for your business, wishing you tons of success. Dhanyawat and namaste xxx

I did research a lot for the perfect school and I am so glad I found it! The teacher are amazing, full of knowledge, willing to help you grow, always an ear for your questions, assistance if you have any problem or health issues, respect full and always in a good mood to share wonderful experiences and memories with you. I can't say enough thank you for all your kindness and knowledge I got from all the teachers of Rishikesh Yogkulam. I defenetly will be back to keep studying with all of them.
And a big hug to my colleges there where one of a kind and so happy to have shared all this experience with them too.
Defenetly this shook is the best you can find in Rishikesh. Dhanyawat

There are not words enough to express the gratitude that I have for this wonderful school! I feel so privileged to have been granted the opportunity to learn from each and every teacher. The Asana classes were extremely in-depth and really helped me understand each pose in both Ashtanga and Hatha. The classes were definitely challenging, but the growth I experienced was worth every drop of sweat. The alignment and adjustment class was invaluable, giving me a detailed understanding of how to achieve each pose and help me understand how to break down a pose to make it achievable for my students. As a yoga teacher, attending this class really helped me feel more confident and prepared to help my students. The Philosophy class gave me a much better understanding of all aspects of yoga and I truly came to know and understand what the ultimate purpose of teaching yoga is. Pranayama class was definitely an experience all on its own. Not only did we learn about several pranayama techniques, but we also did them all practically with the guide of the teacher. Anatomy and physiology gave me a better grasp of the muscles and systems being activated as I moved through the asanas in Hatha and Ashtanga classes. Yoga therapy and Ayurveda class gave me a different perspective on health, diet, and healing that I truly appreciate. Meditation was a very practical approach where we experienced multiple types of meditation techniques, including active meditations. Each experience was different and gave me ways to make meditation accessible to all types of students. The 300 hour course was extremely well rounded and I feel that I am walking away with growth mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually as both a student and a teacher.
The excursions were extremely fun and I felt that I bonded with the teachers and other students on these trips. From hiking to a waterfall, going white water rafting (even though it was freezing), experiencing a meditation cave and having fun out by the Ganga, and watching a beautiful sunrise over the Himalayas. Each experience was unique and amazing.
The teachers really care and truly want each student to walk away as a better teacher of yoga. I feel like I have a family in Rishikesh now. The people I've met, the experiences I have had, the knowledge I have gained and the changes I have felt within me are a part of me now and I am forever grateful for this month of training.
I highly recommend this yoga teacher training to any yoga teacher or student seeking growth from teachers that pour their hearts into the knowledge they are sharing. This is an experience that will last a lifetime.

I cannot thank you all enough for this life changing experience.
Being a mature student I was apprehensive, nervous. Was I mad thin king I could do this at my time of life. My love of yoga made me decide I was going to try. Amit. Your teaching is second to none. Your professionalism, awareness of what people need and attention to detail is a unique quality. Your extensive knowledge and how you break everything down makes everything so clear. Your passion for what you do shines. Your infectious laugh at mealtimes and your funny stories😂 You are a very special young man.
Jitu. Thank you for your patience and your excellent teaching. Your enthusiasm when you can see an improvement. Thank you for our brilliant Sunday trips. Our rafting down the Ganges is something I will not forget!!! Especially being asked not to put my age down as I wouldn't be allowed on!!!😂The word FORWARD will be viewed very differently now!!!😂
Mandeep. Your classes have been fascinating and I have loved learning about Indian culture and philosophy. Your deep knowledge has made this subject something I want to learn more about and bring into my life.
Vasha. What an inspiring beautiful women you are. I have loved our meditation classes. As well as learning so much about the practice, the laughter and fun we had was just brilliant! ❤️
Nittin. I have loved learning about the different pranayama teqniques and the Shatkarmas. Again the knowledge you have has been inspiring. Thank you
Shasi. Thank you for the super tasty food you cooked for us every day 🍛It was delicious.
I also want to thank my fellow students Keith Rosie Hanlie and Jennifer for making my experience unforgettable. You guys are awesome .
This really has been one of the most challenging intense things I have done. By far the most rewarding. I learnt so much about myself.
I would not hesitate to recommend this school to anybody who wants to do this properly. Amit I wish you every success in the future.
I may be back to do my 300!!!!
Love love ❤️️Jo

If you want excellent teaching in all facets of yoga then I can whole heartedly recommend Rishikesh Yogkulam . It's the real Indian experience in the world center of yoga . I've just completed my 200 hour TTC. and enjoyed every moment . Thank you Amit and team for making this life changing journey so special and memorable.

I remember myself stuck while searching for a good 300hr YTT. Picking the right YTT in Rishikesh is hard. This school was recommended to me from a friend and I’m so happy I decided to join Yogkulam family. I couldn’t make a better choice!
From the beginning I felt at home. We were at small groups, the teachers are young , very knowledgeable and open to share their knowledge with everyone.

Can’t hide my two favorites:
Mandeep our philosophy teacher. A great human, with such a deep knowledge about yoga and Indian mythology, and of course Varsha a beautiful soul, always teaching from her heart, something I love to see and Inspires me. I had been scared about meditation and stillness but she showed to us other ways to meditate and made me understand that meditation practice is not that scary as I had it in my mind and is not only about stillness.

In addition, we also had great excursions every Sunday and an awesome surprise from Amit(the owner of the school) that we are going to an Indian wedding (that was so fun), and something last but very important the food was just delicious from an always smiley chef!!!

Thank you so much Yogkulam family for all the knowledge you shared!!I’m very grateful to meet you all and hopefully to see you soon!!!💕

Dear everybody in Yogkulam school,

thank you so much for my 200 hour TTC with you. It has been the best idea to choose your school and I am so grateful that you have teached me. I was never expecting that amount of kindness, warmth and knowledge. You have changed me in such a good way and helped me to learn more about myself, this life and yoga. All the teachers are amazing personalities with big hearts, a passion for yoga and great teaching skills. Starting the day early has been a challenge in the beginning but with time I used to like it to start my day with physical practice. Jitu has an incredibly great way to teach and a very good feeling of sequencing and pushing you to your limits without crossing them. Also he taught me a lot of pranayama techniques, good theoretical background about all the benefits and precautions, he took my fear of Shatkarma, taught me step by step the Ashtanga Vinyasa Series and furthermore out of the class I learned so many random Hindi vocabulary because of him and used to laugh a lot. One of the highlights of the day has been philosophy. Amit, sometimes you captured me in a magic way that all my thoughts made sense. It is unbelievable what big amount of knowledge is inside your head and how perfectly clear you can express that. Some of these classes really changed my way of thinking and understanding. Thank you so much for that! Anatomy with Manu was one of the funniest classes of the day. He is such a lovely human being with great humor and an outstanding way of explaining difficult processes in the body in a perfectly understandable manner. After one month of anatomy with Manu you will have a very good and holistic understanding about the structure and functions of your body and what happens inside. My second personal highlight each day was meditating with Varsha. She is the most inspiring, strong and beautiful woman. Her heart and empathy are bigger than possibly imaginable. She opens a space to be yourself and to feel safe.

Some general words: The food was super delicious every single day with always healthy, nutricious and diversified meals. The accomondation was super big and clean. And the yoga hall was on the top of the building with a super beautiful view into the mountains.

Again, Amit, Jitu, Manu and Varsha, I can not thank you enough. You are inspiring people and you have a place in my heart. This month with you was one of the best in my life and I really miss you. I am sure to see you again to learn even more from you next year.

Sending you love from Germany,

Sophie 💛

Words can not express how amazing the quality of Yogkulam is! From the very beginning I felt like I was at home. The instructors are so awesome, especially Manu and Amit. Both of them have a true passion for teaching at it really shows up when they lead class. The other instructors do a really good job as well! I learned so much in my 300 hr, and really improved my personal yoga practice. You will be pushed both mentally and physically, but it will make you super grateful in the end!

The facilities are super nice! Having your own "room" even though it's shared is an added bonus. From the balconies, beware of the monkeys, to the bathroom, and the large, comfy beds everything is what you need to feel at home. The yoga halls are large and spacious with nice views of the mountains.

The Sunday excursions were the best! It was so much fun going out with everyone and seeing things outside of the hustle and bustle of the small city area. Connecting closer with classmates and teachers on the excursions makes the whole experience so special.

The food! The food is so, so good! The chef is an amazing cook. Every dish tastes so good, and he will cater to any allergies one may have.

Overall, I loved, loved my time at Yogkulam! I
would highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for honest, trustworthy, hardworking teachers who really know and understand the yogic lifestyle, and how to apply it. You will not be disappointed in your choice! Love and light!

¡Hacer un YTT en Rishikesh Yogkulam fue una de las mejores decisiones que he tomado! Esta escuela fue recomendada por otro profesor y estoy muy agradecida por la oportunidad de conocer a grandes profesores y por sobre todo personas.
Nos entregaron mucho conocimiento de asanas en alineaciones y usos de props para mejorar nuestras posturas tanto en Hatha, Ashtanga, clases de pranayamas y las meditaciones.

Si eliges Rishikesh Yogkulam, no solo tendrá un certificado, sino también un gran conocimiento y un interés más profundo en el yoga.

Con respecto a la habitación estuvo bastante cómoda, cama amplia y mucho espacio.
La comida, la familia y los amigos que tuve en Rishikesh Yogkulam ha sido mi mejor experiencia con mi paso por el curso.

Familia Rishikesh Yogkulam gracias de nuevo! ¡TODOS son increíbles! Les deseo un montón de éxito, felicidades y muy buenas vibras! 🌞

I learned Ashtanga and Hatha yoga from Dhi Ji from 500 hours course. I enjoyed Ashtanga and Hatha times with Dhi ji a lot. When I started my course, I didn't have an idea what I was doing. I simply liked yoga asana but nothing more than that. Dhi ji was really helpful for me to deepen the knowledge of yoga. I loved his Ashtanga tempo. And his hatha alignment as well. I became stronger inside and outside. His focus encouraged me to concentrate what I was doing. I really appreciate our teacher Dhi ji!

I first studied TTC from Amit Ji and Dheru Ji 2 years ago in Rishikesh. They taught me that yoga isn’t all about asanas. If practiced correctly, yoga should create space within our minds and bodies. I decided to return to them because I knew I’d receive top level training. And I was right.

Rishikesh Yogkulam trained me really hard to be a good teacher. They remembered where I left and gave me tailored advice to go forward.

I’m studying a Masters degree while having a full time job. Practicing yoga aside was never easy. My shoulders are tight, my hips are not open, my arms are short... I have 100 reasons not to carry on. But I’m so glad I met Amit Ji. He pointed out all those “obstacles”, then he offered me an option to create the space I need. “You have better forward-bend than 2 years ago, but you can do even better.” It was the first thing he said to me after my first class this time.

I also walked away from Dheru’s Ashtanga class because of my own weakness 2 years ago. Two years later today, he taught me how to enjoy tough trainings with a smile. I didn’t run away this time. I now call him, Master Dheru, a great teacher who put himself in students’ shoes and inspired me how to be a good teacher myself.

Both Amit & Dheru kept presenting new perspectives to me. They challenged me a lot. But they also respect me. I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for me.

I’m really grateful to the school because they allowed me to be me while pushing me forward. They equipped me with the tools I need to live a life I want. I’m looking forward to training with them again. Thank you! 🙏🏻

First and foremost thanks to both of you for your time energy and attention throughout my practice. It's been a great learning experience and i have made so many gains in strength, flexibility and overall focus.
I would like to tell separately about both of them.
The portion of the asana class of Dhirendra sir is basically perfect.I love that how he align and modify the posture and making accessible for all levels of students and It's not just about his adjustment but also his presence and voice in the class encourage to students for their practice.
Amit sir has an exelant demeanor. The beginning of his class is really intresting and learning about the anatomical part of yoga is very helpful. And also about the different muscle groups and which ones are involved with different postures.
Overall they both are amazing. I would highly recommend their class to anyone who is intresting to persuing this path to know that yoga is much more than just the asana....😊😊

WOW experience !!! I am delighted and pleased to complete 200 hours Teachers training course from Rishikesh Yogkulam. Yoga is connection between our body, mind and soul. I learned many things from here which changed my life completely. Mainly the people over there was very encouraging and cheerful. I enjoyed so much the lessons from great Guru's. I am surprised and impressed with the improvements in myself in such a short time. It all happened because of all knowledgeable and experienced teachers. Furthermore, classes were scheduled very effectively and efficiently with full utilization of time. Everyone was very helpful & approachable from the management to the staff and ambiance also well maintained giving the positive vibrations like homely environment with mouth watering food. Overall it was a WOW experience to me and i would greatly recommend to everyone. Thanks to Rishikesh yogkulam for such an everlasting experience.

Dhirendra is a very dedicated yoga teacher in the city, as we know him so far for his rule, regulation, ethics, and punctuality which makes him different then other. he is always helpful with every buddy and always guide us on and of the met. i wish him all the best and good luck for new yoga school. i highly recommend this place to everyone who want to learn from the best teacher of Rishikesh. 😊🕉️

My Yoga journey at Rishikesh yogkulam was from January to February 2019, my first 200h but not last ;)
When searching for the right school for me I was looking for good and professional teachers, small groups of people, my own accommodation with bathroom, good food, and feeling like a member of a family.
At some point, I was sure that it will be impossible to find a school that has all these qualities and if I don't lower my criteria I'll stay at home ;)
But I was wrong, Yogkulam was the school with all these qualities, Amit and Dhirendra, except being a wonderful person, high-quality teachers, they have a natural capacity of explaining the things with examples to understand in a better and simple way especially in anatomy and philosophy.
The yoga practice from both of them gives me the opportunity to go much further in my own practice and that was an important point for me.
The rest of their crew is equally professional in their domain as Amit and Dhirendra are.
If you have any kind of problem or difficulties they will help you in everything with a smile, he will be responsible for the union of the group after dinner with fire and nice music, Sunday activities and you will have a feeling that you have a brother beside.
Sashi is responsible for the kitchen and I'm still dreaming about his wonderful dishes. You can really feel the love he put inside the food and if you have some food problems he will consider it, make some exchanges for you so you can enjoy the food with the rest of the group.

These people are part of my tribe now and I'm so grateful to have found them and really hope to meet them again, on my next teacher training.
Love you all!!!

Ashtanga with Dhirendra ji is always a pleasure and challenge, in the “surpass yourself and grow” type of way! With steady energy and lots of positiveness, always happy to assist, Dhi ji is a good teacher and also an amazing asana practitioner. Very thankful for being his student🙏🏻🕉

A month in my life where i witnessed a change in myself. Yoga through Rishikesh Yogkulam was one experience i feel i will always cherish and build upon. i completed my 200 Hrs TTC here thanks to the continuous support from the teachers and the staff at Yogkulam, who were always more than helpful towards making our stay and course wonderful.
The first few days feel out of the ordinary as one still has to adjust to this simple way of living. The asana practice in the first week built the foundation for strength for the upcoming weeks. Personally, in my group - everyone applauded their efforts , towards their food preparation, cleanliness, knowledge of teachers and guidance towards each meticulous detail. Even after completion of the course, the teachers have been very kind to help with queries at all times of day . It would never be enough to thank the complete team towards making the experience successful. I hope to visit back to complete the 500 Hrs TTC soon. Highly recommended for everyone.

If you are looking for an authentic experience in yoga then study with the Amit and Dhirendra . They are truly an inspiration for everyone. If today I am experiencing Real Health so just because of my both guys. They are technically very strong, and helped me to understand my practice better. I cannot thank them enough. Highly Rishikesh Yogkulam
