If you’re lucky enough to get a place at Yogkulam in Tapovan, Rishikesh – do it. I just got back from finishing my 200hr yoga teacher training (Hatha, Yin, Ashtanga + Pranayam & Meditation) and it all feels like a dream. I actually booked a course with a different school, but they cancelled last minute and I was transferred to Yogkulam. Initially frustrated and exhausted, I now know that I was supposed to end up there <3 Amit patiently dealt with me and my frustration and accommodated all my requests. But then the classes started – and my experience was about to get to another level. My mind was taken into the depths of the yoga philosophy by Sandhu-ji, my body was went beyond its limits during Hatha & Ashtanga classes led by Pankaj (don’t underestimate his dainty frame!), my breath and lungs trained by patient Ritu-ji during Pranayam class. We had Ayurveda class that sparked further curiosity, yoga anatomy (super helpful if you’re a nerd like me and want to know how each yoga pose affects which muscles / ligaments), and teaching methodology. Plus meditation class – always a surprise, since every lesson was different from the other and although with 7 years of meditating on my behind my belt, I’ve learnt some new meditation techniques (including how to do yoga Nidra on yourself! Amazing technique if you have trouble falling asleep like me). Location-wise, it’s close by the Laxman Jhula road with plenty of shops, food stalls and an Ayurvedic pharmacy. Despite the abundance of cafes and food spots – most of the time I preferred food at the school. Aju & Sunni did wonders in the kitchen making us delicious & nutritious meals to fuel for the classes. There are also other awesome things that you can take advantage of at the school – like complimentary Vedic astrology reading (each of us was blown away how accurate it was – but be sure to have your time of birth ready!). Mandeep thoroughly explained my birth chart and recommended mantras, books and specific stones to help dealing with some of the specifics of my chart. Ayurvedic doctor consultation and emotional blockage treatment (the last two is provided for a fee). Everyone treated each other like the name suggests (Yogkulam: where “kulam” means “family”). We had movie nights, Sunday excursions, and nights of Uno competitions :) It was fun. But along the way I’ve learnt so much about yoga – which goes beyond asanas and breath awareness – and studying at Yogkulam upheld my interest in the subject where yoga plays a centre point for a way of living. I can continue in my list of superlatives so I’ll stop now… :) just do it. Thank you for an amazing experience <3 Laura x

Ohh This is a yog school which u would love to learn not only yoga but good life experience also. Teaching is very good & supporting also u must definitely try when you are in rishikesh.

I wouldn’t say everything was perfect but the overall experience was life changing. Definitively you will face situations in which your yogic qualities will be challenged which is a part of the process

Rishikesh Yogkulam was the first place where I did my yoga teacher training. I have learned a lot in a very short period of time. The teachers are very skilled in their own way and know a lot about the subjects they are teaching. The location is wonderful, in between the mountains. Walking distance to the centre yet more calm and less disturbance of the major traffic.

Thank you So much Rishikesh Yogkulam that You are Making This Beautiful and Best School. It's my Pleasure That I Started my Journey Of Yoga From Here.

I am Really Happy That I Choose the Rishikesh Yogkulam For My Yoga Journey and Yoga Teacher Training Course. I took 200 Hours Multi style YTTC. The Subjects of Course is Really Interesting, they Cover a Many Different Types of Yoga and Meditation. And Teachers Provides a Very Depth Knowledge For Every Thing. They Provide a Knowledge and All Practice in very authentic and Ancient Way. And I Loved That Purity. All the Teacher (Amit ji, Pankaj ji, Jitu Ji, ella ji ) are Too experienced and They Guide in Fabulous Way . They not only Teach The Yoga but Also The way of Life, And it helps me a lot, I See a lot Of Improvement and Change In me In Terms of Personality, Thought Process, Steadiness.

I've done my RYS 200 teacher training from this school in the month of September 2022. The staff there, was very humble, and welcoming. All the teachers were really supportive, always pushing you to do better. The rooms were clean, hygienic. Food was good, could be better. And the location, breathtaking views of mountains. This past month was really amazing, so much so that I could see the changes within myself. Would surely recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn yoga, even as a retreat.

One of the best places to learn authentic yoga from. I did my 200 hours Yoga teacher training course from Rishikesh Yogkulam and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. The teachers give you an in depth knowledge about every subject (Pranayama, Philosophy, Anatomy, Alignment, Mantra chanting, Meditation, Hatha, Ashtanga Yoga). The stay in Rishikesh Yogkulam was very comfortable and the management was commendable and felt like a homely place. One of the many things that I liked was the food. Every meal was tasty. The course was beautifully crafted from morning to evening specially weekend outing. Learn to understand and appreciate small things in life. If you are considering to do a TTC or enhance your spiritual growth, World peace yoga school is your place to be. Studying and staying here in Rishikesh Yogkulam has refined me as a person for good. It was a life changing decision for me.

One of the best decisions of my life , to learn yoga from experienced and lovely teachers of Yogkulam. Neat and clean accommodation with positive staff to attend you around the clock. Knowledgeable and open minded interactive teachers. Great experience.

I had a wonderful living and learning experience at Rishikesh Yogkulam. Entire team is very cooperative, loving and caring. It is one of the best instituition for learing Yoga TTC in Rishikesh. They have unique course among other schools in the city. I have not only learner Yogic concepts, but also got exposure about Ayurveda and Astrology. Food is very healthy and tasty. Located in a peaceful location near to Laxman jhula and River Ganges. I wish Amit and Ella and team best for future endeavours. Thanks

I had the most wonderful experience at Rishikesh Yogkulam. The gurus have a deep understanding of all their subjects and practicing with them had a huge impact on me. I not only learned how to teach yoga, but also how to challenge myself, move out of my comfort zone and connect more with myself. The whole experience was enriching, it taught me to live healthy and I have progressed, both mentally and physically. Moreover, the staff is very friendly, the food was great and I felt supported during the stay. I am leaving with a lot more than I expected, truly grateful for the experience!

It was a wonderful time at Rishikesh Yogkulam. you can have the best experience of yoga and meditation with the guidance of best and well educated teachers. They all are so welcoming and caring for their students and always try to help them in every situation. I am happy I came here and had the best experience of my life here .all thanks to my teachers here.

I had an amazing experience at rishikesh yogkulam. I had been there on workation for about a month and was supposed to pick any classes to attend. I attended as much as I wanted and everyone had been so much helpful in training me even when I was there on workation only. The food is very delicious and the rooms are properly cleaned and hygienic. There were outings and extra sessions too as per demand and availability. Ella ji and Amit ji are so humble and listen to each and every concern patiently and help with anything we need. I would recommend everyone to visit and experience their beautiful world. Thank you!

It has been one of my best experiences so far. I am glad to the Universe for showing the yoga path and completely transforming my life for the higher good. I had been through a personal trauma just few weeks before I started yoga. And Rishikesh Yogkulam was my saviour when I chose to challenge myself (being a beginner in Yoga), during my most vulnerable and hard times. I made the decision to go for the 200hrs YTTC in just few hours time and reached out to one of its founder, Amit ji, who was warm, welcoming and explained clearly, regarding the entire course structure and stay. With all the assurance, I immediately booked for the programme and was in Rishikesh in 2 days time. I wanted to choose a place where there was less intake of students and have my own private room. I saw the pictures of rooms, and reviews on Youtube, and was happy to find out, it met my requirements. Everything was well planned and taken care of. Right from the airport pick up to the warm welcome at the Yogkulam, clean spacious room with attached bath. Amazing delicious food by the very talented chef Mr. Sunil. It was home away from home and a safe haven for a single woman traveler. We were just 4 of us from 4 different nations, a compact group with one on one individual attention by the Yogkulam team, we all became a family immediately. The Yogkulam team is very friendly, caring and would reach out to us immediately if anyone falls sick or has specific food preference. The entire course is well-modulated and executed by the well experienced young enthusiastic teachers, Amit ji, Jitu ji and Deepa ji. The extensive 25 days programme, started at 6 am in the morning and finished by 7:45 pm which comprises of the Pranayama techniques, Hatha, Ashtanga style, Theory of Yoga, Philosophy and Anatomy. One gets to learn so much about Indian culture, Sanskrit and yogic way of life. The yoga hall is well equipped with all the necessary props, a small library and is open for access if one needs to practice during off hours. With such an enriching, extensive routine and positive atmosphere, one would get mentally and physically stronger day by day completely transforming one’s outlook towards life making you disciplined, rejuvenated and mindful. At the end of the course, you become confident, well informed and experienced to wear the yoga teacher’s hat. I started teaching at a yoga academy in my place, just after a month of graduating. All thanks to Yogkulam for helping and guiding me through this new journey of my life. The Institute is centrally located in Rishikesh and one can easily access, explore the nearby market and take a dip in the holy Ganges. They also have well planned excursions on every weekend, taking us to famous temples, waterfall, cave, river rafting and yoga by the ganga beach. I am very grateful and truly thank Rishikesh Yogkulam for being a part of this amazing journey. And I assure, one should have no second thought but choose Rishikesh Yogkulam for your ultimate yoga experience. Highly recommend. My heartiest best wishes to the entire team and wishing Yogkulam immense success ahead. Love and regards Molly

Also month later I'm still thinking about my experience with Rishikesh Yogkulam, how much I learned and how much it helped me on my Yoga journey. I recommend this school to everyone looking to advance their practice!

Thanks to a luminous soul, I’ve been invited to join this on line classes. Great!!! Amit & Jitu are great teachers. They are clear and both got a perfect timing. They take you into a journey of building and exploring the body giving each person the right tips to improve the postures. Highly recommended!!!! 🙏 Namaste!

Can't tell anything but the best about Amit and Rishikesh Yogkulam in general. I'm at the third week of online classes and I've already asked for next month to continue. I follow the 5:30 AM (Italy time) class and just after the first week I went to work so positive and full of energy as I've never been before. Highly recommended! :-)

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 Marta

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
