I completed the 200 hour course and throughly enjoyed it and highly recommend. Yoga asana practice was very thorough and rigorous and everyone loved the teachers; they really know what they are doing and I feel they are best yoga teachers I’ve ever had. There is so much more to the course though. Every class throughout the course continued to deepen my curiosity, interest and knowledge in the various ‘limbs’ of yoga. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to learn with also which enhanced the experience. We were all kept informed and on point throughout and encouraged to do our best so we get the best out of the teaching. The environment was very conducive to learning also with dedicated and friendly staff and teachers. We were all looking out for one another but simultaneously encouraged to be independent and focus on number one to get the best experience for you. My room was comfortable and facilities were fine. I loved the food and canteen arrangement. I’m certain you will definitely learn a lot of practical knowledge that you can carry forward into your professional and personal life as well as learn a lot about yourself and the world we live in and it will reinforce your resolve to become a more healthy, open and positive person in general. So many nice memories. The location is totally authentic and this alone has its own story but as for learning what real yoga is you can’t go wrong here. Everyone on the course were genuinely delighted to have had this experience.

Maharishi Yoga Peeth exceeded my expectations in every way! The food was outstanding, with fresh, organic, and deliciously prepared meals that fuelled my body and mind. The teachers were exceptional, sharing their wisdom and expertise with kindness, patience, and passion. The location was breathtakingly beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant energy. I felt nurtured, supported, and inspired throughout my stay. If you're seeking a holistic and transformative yoga experience, Maharishi Yoga Peeth is the perfect choice.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

I recently completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Maharishi Yog Peeth in Rishikesh, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed into a serene and spiritually uplifting environment, ideal for deepening both practice and self-awareness.

Instructors & Curriculum:
The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, authentic, and genuinely passionate about sharing the ancient wisdom of yoga. The course covered a comprehensive mix of Hatha, Ashtanga, Pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology. The blend of traditional and modern approaches helped me not only grow as a practitioner but also build the confidence to teach.

Environment & Facilities:
Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, the school offers breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The yoga halls are clean and spacious, and the ashram-style accommodation is simple yet comfortable. Everything is designed to support learning and introspection.

The sattvic meals served were delicious, nourishing, and freshly prepared – perfect for supporting a yogic lifestyle. The staff was kind and always ready to help, making the entire stay smooth and stress-free.

One of the highlights was the sense of community. Students from around the world come here, and the shared journey created deep, lasting friendships. Weekly excursions, fire ceremonies, and Ganga Aarti added cultural richness to the program.

Final Thoughts:
Maharishi Yog Peeth is more than just a yoga school – it's a gateway to personal growth and a deeper connection with the true essence of yoga. I left not only with a certification but with a renewed spirit and a lifelong love for yoga.

I completed a 200h training in April 2025 at Maharishi Yoga Peeth and I couldn't be happier of having had this experience with them. Every single person in the school from the Director to the teachers and all the staffs members were beautiful, kind, helpful, wise and amazing. I had a lot of fun, I learnt a LOT about yoga, I learnt about myself and I really enjoyed my time there (I miss it!) The facilities were super pretty, the location by mother Ganga is magical, the energy is special and every day I spent there I felt blessed.
Thank you to every person who made this possible and accompanied me in this journey. Forever grateful! Namaste

I completed the 200-hour course and it was an unforgettable experience, located near Mother Ganga. The teachers are more than excellent. Thank you, Megha, for being so attentive to our needs and for your beautiful smile. I hope to return soon.
Namaste.

Completing my 100-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Maharishi Yoga Peeth was a truly transformative experience. Coming from a sedentary corporate lifestyle, this break was exactly what I needed to reset—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

The teachers were exceptional—deeply knowledgeable and supportive, making complex concepts accessible and meaningful. The staff was warm and attentive, and the facilities were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. Practicing in the yoga hall overlooking the Ganga River was an unforgettable highlight, offering serenity and inspiration every day.

The food was another pleasant surprise—simple, healthy, hygienic, and delicious. Each meal felt nourishing and aligned with the yogic lifestyle.

This training gave me much more than a certificate; it offered clarity, connection, and a fresh perspective. I wholeheartedly recommend Maharishi Yoga Peeth to anyone seeking growth, balance, and genuine peace.

I studied here for a one week course in Yin yoga having completed YTT 200 & 300 at other schools in India the past. Every element of the experience was excellent, but two very important aspects are worth a mention:

1. The teachers are outstanding with literally thousands of hours on the teaching clock. I found that even the most challenging aspects of the program were easy to absord. Overall, the teaching was delivered with genuine care, devotion and professionalism.
2. The new venue of the school is a beautifully restored historic spiritual building right on the banks of the Ganges, with a stunning yoga hall (looking straight out on the Ganges) and some of the highest standard accommodation you are going to find in Rishikesh.

A hearfelt thanks to everyone at the school who made it possible and of course the wonderful people I shared the week with.

My experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced by an atmosphere of deep wisdom, compassion, and authentic yogic living. This school is not just a place to learn yoga—it’s a sanctuary where knowledge, devotion, and holistic well-being intertwine seamlessly.

**Wisdom & Passion of the Teachers**
The teachers at Maharishi Yoga Peeth are truly exceptional. Their depth of knowledge is profound, yet they impart it with such humility and patience. Every lesson was infused with passion—whether it was asana, pranayama, philosophy, or meditation. They don’t just teach; they *inspire*, guiding each student with individual attention and heartfelt encouragement. Their compassion creates a safe space for learning, making even beginners feel at ease while challenging seasoned practitioners to deepen their practice.

**Attention to Detail & Nourishment**
Every detail at this school is thoughtfully curated to support a yogic lifestyle. The **facilities exceeded my expectations**—clean, serene, and designed to foster peace and introspection. And the **food… absolutely divine!** Fresh, sattvic, and prepared with so much love, each meal felt like a blessing, nourishing both body and soul.

**The Sacred Presence of Mother Ganga Ji**
One of the most magical aspects of Maharishi Yoga Peeth is its proximity to the holy **Ganga River**. Waking up to her gentle flow, practicing yoga by her banks, and meditating to the sound of her waters was a deeply spiritual experience. The energy of Ganga Ji amplifies the entire journey, making every moment feel sacred.

**A Life-Changing Experience**
Leaving Maharishi Yoga Peeth, I carried not just knowledge, but a heart full of gratitude. This is more than a yoga school—it’s a place where transformation happens, where every breath, every lesson, and every interaction is infused with purpose and grace. If you seek **authentic yoga, compassionate guidance, and a truly nurturing environment**, look no further. This is where your yogic heart will find its home.

**Forever grateful. 🙏✨**

Its a good website

I took the Sound Healing course, as well as other yogic teachings such as Darshan, Ayurveda, Meditation, and Pranayama. All of my teachers were wise and beautiful souls.
The staff who keep the yoga school running were just as wise and beautiful. They are always happy to help with any of my needs.
The food was nourishing Sattvic food prepared with love by the two kind men in the kitchen.
My room was clean and bright.
The little garden was well cared for.
I'm so grateful to have been at this school with these humans for an entire month. Thank you to everyone for the role you played in my Leveling Up journey in India!

Maharishi Yoga Peeth Exceeded My Expectations!! From the beginning of answering my questions to the ideal centrally located clean and comfortable accommodations, the delicious food, the friendly staff that were proud and eager to act as ambassadors to Rishikesh, always feeling safe as I strolled through the streets (as a sole female traveller, this is a must) , but above all the exceptional Yoga Teachers. The program was created by experts, who at all times made me feel held, supported and challenged. I learned far more than I expected and I leave with a deeper appreciation and love for yoga. This 200-hour yoga teacher training program changed me and I highly recommend Maharishi Yoga Peeth. They are the real deal.

Over the past four years, I have taken several classes at Maharishi Yogapeeth, Rishikesh. The need for individual participants is taken care of by professional teachers. One of the best benefits of Maharishi Yogapeeth is this feature, non-judgmental behavior of all the teachers while taking classes. I have basically done sound healing Course and Reiki Training Course.
