Om Shanti Om Yoga Reviews 14

I first completed my 200-hour YTTC with Om Shanti Om in 2019, and this year I returned for the full two-month 500-hour training. It was, without a doubt, one of the most meaningful and life-changing experiences I’ve had.
We began in January with a small group of just six students for the 200-hour, which created an intimate and focused learning environment. By the time we continued into the 300-hour, we had grown to ten students, and the group dynamic became something truly special. The energy, support, and shared commitment made the experience deeply inspiring.
The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely invested in each student’s journey. They create a space where questions are encouraged, and they guide you with patience through both the physical practices and the deeper aspects of yoga philosophy.
What makes Om Shanti Om stand out is its authenticity. There’s nothing superficial about the way yoga is taught here - it is honest, grounded, and deeply rooted in tradition. Over time, it feels less like a school and more like a family.
I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking for a truly authentic and transformative approach to learning and teaching yoga.

I came to Rishikesh in 2022 and was lucky enough to discover om Shanti drop in sessions with Dinesh. Ever since I have been thinking about coming back. 4 years later I managed to come back here to do my 200H YTTc.

Honestly my experience has been amazing. It has exceeded all my expectations. I’m even staying a little longer to keep practicing with these amazing teachers and staying in the ashram as I don’t want to leave!

I really enjoyed all that the course had to offer including the philosophy, anatomy, alignment and auyuvadic lessons. The teachers are so informative and fun.

Staying at the ashram made it even more authentic. They really make you feel at home and accommodate your needs. Plus the food is AMAZING. I was worried at first as my tummy sometimes struggles with Indian food but never did I feel unwell from this food. I miss it so much.

The experiences I had and the people I met on this course has been life changing and difficult to put into words. I have absolutely loved every second. My love for India just continues to grow.

Thank you to all the babajis in om Shanti family - I already look forward to coming back.

You have a special place in my heart.

Namaste :)

This is my second time here, and once again, it has been such a huge source of inspiration and learning.
The teachers here are not only highly professional but also incredibly kind. Dinesh has incredible energy. He really makes you feel that yoga and spirituality are all about joy and happiness. Buddhi Prakash shared such deep wisdom and lived experience, which is really unique. And the practices with Kamal are just amazing—challenging yet rewarding.

I truly felt that every teacher shares their knowledge from the heart and genuinely loves what they do. Here, you begin to understand the soul of yoga, and you leave wanting these teachings to become a permanent part of your life.

A special thank you to the curators of the Russian-speaking group for their care and support! I’ll definitely come back again 😊 Namaste! 🙏✨

This is a very special yoga ashram. I was there for 3.5 weeks on the 200 hr teacher training, and the tuition is world class. The accommodation, food and overall experience was also truly exceptional. I didn’t have a lot of yoga experience going in, but every student from beginner to advanced gets the right training for them. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Om Shanti Om one of the classic and oldest yoga school in rishikesh, yogi dinesh is one of my favorite yoga teacher I love the way of teaching yoga of yogi dinesh.i recommended om Shanti Om Yoga for yoga teacher training and yoga classes.

Я прошла TTC 200 и в целом провела в Om Shanti Om полтора месяца.
Это было глубокое, тёплое и по-настоящему трансформирующее путешествие.
Обучение — отлично структурированное и очень целостное. Благодаря погружению в практику, теорию, философию и регулярности занятий действительно ощущаешь, что получаешь знания, которыми можно уверенно делиться дальше. А ведь именно это и есть главная цель TTC.
Учителя и вся команда Om Shanti Om создают особую атмосферу заботы, сердечности и внутреннего спокойствия. Здесь тепло, уютно и поддерживающе — ты постоянно ощущаешь внимание, доброту и искреннее желание помочь.
Питание — вкусное, лёгкое, полностью вегетарианское и очень продуманное. За полтора месяца оно ни разу не надоело, а самочувствие оставалось прекрасным.
Нам регулярно организовывали дополнительные активности для более глубокого погружения: саунд-хилинг, концерт классической музыки, экскурсии. Всё это делало обучение ещё богаче, ярче и многограннее.
Месяц регулярной практики — асан, пранаямы, медитации, мантра-чантинга — стал настоящей внутренней трансформацией. Ты узнаёшь себя лучше, становишься устойчивее, мягче, спокойнее внутри.
Группа за это время стала одной большой семьёй — или, скорее, мы присоединились к большой семье Om Shanti Om. Дружелюбная, светлая, вдохновляющая атмосфера невероятно поддерживала на всём пути.
Я бесконечно благодарна каждому, кто был рядом.
И искренне рекомендую приезжать сюда — как для прохождения TTC, так и для йога-ретрита на несколько дней или неделю.
Hare Om.

I did the 200 hour TTC in November. The yoga teachers are absolutely amazing and cater to all experience levels. The stay was extremely comfortable and worth the money. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn yoga for the first time or to an experienced practitioner wishing to take things further.

Rifarei questa esperienza altre 100 volte! E la rifarei dove l’ho fatta! OM SHANTI OM! Lo yoga è ottimo e gli insegnanti sono formidabili! Ho Amato tutto di quel luogo, lo staff, il cibo, le camere, la scuola! Grazie grazie grazie! Namaste 🙏🏻

Everyone thinking of doing a YTTc in Rishikesh, I definitely recommend doing it at Om Shanti Om Yoga Ashram! Teachers are 100% dedicated and supportive. Dinesh's classes have the best energy and after one week you can already feel the difference in your practice. The comfortable rooms and the delicious food made me feel like at home, so I decided to stay a few weeks longer which haven't regret!

My experience at om shanti om was extraordinary and life changing, the 200 hours training course I participated in august exceeded my expectations, the teachers are very good the atmosphere is so relaxing and calming, and the yoga classes are the best I felt the improvement in 4 weeks of my staying there, I really recommend this school for anyone who is interested in yoga wether beginner or at any level, 🙏

Completed my 200 hours TTC at Om Shanti Om, I'm now back home but my heart is still there. When I arrived in the school honestly, I was not expecting to learn this much. The course was well structured and complete: perfect balance between Yog philosophy, pranayama, anathomy, ayurveda, body allignment, teaching methodology and yoga asanas. This four weeks were a true journey through Yog world and expecially through myself. I learn how to listen to my body and my mind, to go over my limits and how to love myself and others with more kindness.
All the teachers were passionate and happy to share their knowledge, we were always coming to class with a big smile, and going to bed at night with a smile even bigger!
Thanks Om Shanti Om family, thanks Dinesh for creating this amazing environment and for bringing your amazing and powerful energy, your passion and your love for discipline and for life to all of us everyday.

I'm so grateful for this experience. ❤️🙏🏻
Namaste

First time leaving North America and came to this yoga school in India out of all places. Glad I finished this adventure with my 200hr yoga certification. Thank you Om Shanti Om for the amazing experience. I dont think you can find a school with better staff chemistry. All the staff truly like working there and helping you learn. It doesn’t feel like a typical business. The best part was the food, not many places in rishikesh that cook so clean choosing olive oil over refined oils.

Very good place to do yoga the guruji's are very friendly

I am really amazed that I have learned yoga from om shanti om yoga ashram because teachers here are really very good and they actually understand the need and the areas to work on.. I really recommend others to learn yoga from this prestigious institution.
