"Es una escuela en donde me he sentido contenida, en donde abunda de sabiduria con sus profesores, por eso mismo voy a estar haciendo muy pronto las 300 hs. con ellos. Les agradezco infinitamente por el amor que me transmitieron."

Jyoti Vaidik satrs

"I completed the 200-hour teacher training programme at Rishikul Yogshala, and I am incredibly appreciative of this life-altering opportunity. With all of them being incredible teachers, I gained a lot of knowledge about yoga (philosophy, pranayama, mantras, meditation, anatomy) and, specifically, kundalini yoga. I consider it an honour to have shared the experience with our little group because they were such a wonderful gift. The school is in a lovely, tranquil setting, and I loved looking out onto the mountains from the patio and classrooms. I also loved how wonderful the food was every day; I thought every meal was delicious. I appreciate the cook! I adore all of our teachers for their wisdom, humanity, and sense of humour."

Mahendra Singh Rao satrs

"I was a little worried when I signed up for this 300-hour YTT because you never know where you'll land. But I went with my gut instinct, and I don't regret it... on the contrary! The amenities: the rooms, the environment, the yoga shala... everything... It's a fantastic place to learn yoga. All of the yoga instructors are excellent. Yoga is taught by teachers who take a holistic approach."

Yoga Yangchen satrs

"Because I had such a good experience for my RYT200 at Rishikul Yogshala in 2020, I decided to return there for my RYT300. Again, my experience was amazing. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and take their profession very seriously. The other staff is very kind and helpful. Food and lodging were good too. I just can emphasize enough what a truly life-changing experience they gave me. I can't wait to return there for my next professional development steps."

Cat Davies satrs

"The teaching and support that I was gifted at Rishikul Yogshala was more than I could have wished for. The attentive teachers ensured that the classroom atmosphere welcoming and informative. All questions were met with interest and answered with vast knowledge. After my 200 hour course I left with confidence in my ability to continue on my teaching journey. I will always be grateful for the time that I spent at the Rishikul Yogshala."
