Vinyasa Yoga Shala offers flexibility, convenience, affordability, and absolute integrity in their instruction. With courses ranging from vinyasa to kundalini, you choose the level of esotericism you desire. No matter what, the Shala is absolutely true to the spirit of the yogic tradition.

Overall, very positive experience doing the 200 hr TTC at this school.
Highlights:
- Good quality teaching. All of the asana classes/practices were very good. The Yoga Philosophy class was an unexpected highlight.
- The rooms are clean and spacious (I was in the Prangan Retreat location in Tapovan). I got a single room. Sharing for the whole month might be a bit too cosy.
- Lovely teachers/staff. Too many to list, but Aman Ji was looking after us at the Prangan Retreat location. Great guy.
Areas for improvement:
- It would be useful to have specific yoga mat/surface cleaner available to clean the mats at the end of a session.
- The school's content creation sometimes detracted from the activities they organise. The cameras and lights sometimes felt invasive and made some experiences feel less authentic.

I did 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training on-line and it was excellent. Videos and materials were well made. I could do the course when it was convenient for me. Communication with Ashish was fast. I can highly recommend it.

One of the best experience I have had in Rishikesh I completed my 200 YTT fromVinyasa Yogashala all the teachers here are full of knowledge and takes care of small details of every student…. all the staff was like a family to us and these 24 days were like a blessing to me the food, teachers, classes and rooms everything was perfect everyone was cooperative and made us feel like home the practices were intense but that’s what makes you a true practitioner I will be doing my 300 hour YTT also……looking forward to meeting my teachers again.

I just completed the 200-hours online teacher training course and I'm fully satisfied with it! It truly exceeded my expectations. I managed to complete it while being pregnant and the support I've received from the team has been great so far. The teachers are highly prepared and very good at explaining the topic. Also, this course provided me with so much knowledge of yoga which goes beyond what we can expect when we start practicing yoga. It really gives you a solid foundation to be a 360 degree yoga teacher. Really happy and I highly recommend this course! Thank you so much Vinyasha Yoga Shala!

I recently completed the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program at Vinyasa Yogashala and i would highly recommend this yoga school to anyone seeking a transformative yoga journey. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made. The program was intense, but it was worth every minute. The curriculum was well-structured and designed to challenge and inspire us. I learned a great deal about yoga philosophy, anatomy, asanas, and teaching methodology. The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and their passion for yoga was contagious.
The food was fantastic, healthy, and delicious. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, always ready to help with anything we needed. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported by the staff and my fellow trainees. I was surrounded by like-minded individuals who shared my love of yoga and my commitment to personal growth.
Overall, the experience at Vinyasa Yogashala was life-changing. I learned a lot about yoga and myself, and it was a beautiful journey of self-discovery. I am grateful for the opportunity to have studied here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality yoga program. Thank you to everyone at Vinyasa Yogashala for the unforgettable experience!

I have done my 300 YTTC recently, I have had an amazing time, I will for sure return to continuous with my yoga learning. All the teachers are amazing and really well knowledge, I must to mention our incredible Asthanga teacher Deepak and our amazing Filosofy teacher Sushan. Aswell, the organizers that make me feel like part of the family, thank you so much for everything Ashish and Tanu.

The teachers, the accommodation, the delishes food, this was an experience of a lifetime, I didnt have any experience with Yoga and was blown away with how patient and gentle the teachers all are. I'm very happy I picked this school in Rishikesh, helpful right up to the last day. Thanks so much guys and esp Rahul for the loan of the charger 😀 🙌 🙏 won't ever forget you guys. Namaste

Amazing school everything clear. Teachers are amazing and organization of the school is full of devotion. Thanks for all. Namaste

I just Finish my 200 YTT at Vinyasa Yoga Shala and I cannot describe my sadness in leaving this lovely school today.
I came to Vinyasa Yogashala as a complete beginner. I had experience with Meditation, but I practised Asana only few times in my life. All the teachers supported me, helped me and motivated me in every single class. The teachers are amazing: their Knowledge, their wisdom, their kindness, the way they teach, they support you, they motivate and help you is unbelievable.
I feel so blessed and so Grateful. The Knowledge they share with us was outstanding.
The guys of the staff (kitchen/reception/managers) are so kind and ready to help you and support you 24 hours per day.
The rooms are nice and the food delicious.
It has been an intense, powerful and challanging Journey that I truly recommend to everyone.
The experience at Vinyasa Yogashala school exceeded all my expectations.
I will come back home with a lot of Knowledge and Gratitude in my heart.
Thank you to all at Vinyasa Yogashala for your love, your kindness, your support, your wisdom and your passion.
I will never forget you.
You will always have a place in my heart.
Namastè
Hari Om Tat Sat.

I came to Vinyasa Yogashala as a complete beginner to yoga looking to learn about the practice and help to incorporate it into my daily life. The experience completely exceeded my expectations. The quality of the teachers and the knowledge they shared was nothing short of outstanding! Accommodation was comfortable, food was delicious and the extra activities outside of our course made it a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you to all at Vinyasa Yogashala for your love, passion and wisdom, truly so grateful 💫 Namaste 🙏🏽

I have completed 50 hour offline course before this course and can see the clear benefits of online learning. Although the experience of visiting Rishikesh and exchanging energies there in priceless, there is a massive benefit of studying in self-paced manner when you can stop the video, repeat it as many times as you want, watch it again after you tried the Asana or repeat in in few weeks to make sure you have really nailed it. The same thing with learning mantras. You can repeat the audio again and again to learn the right sound. You can do classes in convenient order according to how you feel this particular day. And if you have any questions there are life sessions each week as well. I totally enjoyed the course. I believe it is very well done. The quality of content and video production was very good. Wish the best to the school. Namaste!

I did my 200 hour yoga teacher training online and I loved it! They are very kind, I recently lost my certificate and they helped me get it back... which made me very happy! I totally recommend them.

Namaste
I had the pleasure to learn from this school virtually, due to the covid restrictions, however the instructors were on point. Including the Sundays group, where we can ask questions or ask about any concerns. The information was simple, clear and understandable. I was in awe of how quick they reply back to always help. Vinyasa Yogashala, hands down is amazing!!! If you need to do your 200 hours of yoga or more, they offer it and they do an excellent job to help you success. Much blessings and light

I have always wanted to deepen my knowledge of yoga and become a teacher, but as a busy professional I never thought I could achieve it. Vinyasa Yogashala has made this dream become a reality! The course content is excellent, a true yoga experience. The spirituality aspect of this course is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. The online portal is easy to use, and the assignments where both challenging but manageable! I felt supported, Ashish always replied to my WhatsApp's when I needed help. Now my yoga journey can truly begin. Thank you so much to the Vinyasa Yogashala team. It's been a pleasure.

This is my story! I had been suffering from chronic cervical pain, insomnia and other physical and mental issues for many years. I decided it was time to take a break from everything and focus on fixing my health. I started my hunt for yoga schools in Rishikesh and reached out to many via email/phone. I bumped into Vinyasa Yogashala's website and really loved the course structure for 200HR YTTC. The information was clear and well articulated. I, however had some personal questions and hence dropped an email to them. Most yoga schools that I contacted earlier either didn't respond or their response rate was very poor. To my utter surprise, I received a prompt response with additional details to my questions on my email. I was elated to having myself heard from them. This was one of the key factors that led me to choose Vinyasa Yogashala and it was the best decision I made.
I was really nervous when I reached Dehradun, also because this is my first time travelling solo for so long ~almost a month with just Vinyasa Yogashala’s number in hand. They were very sweet in arranging a pickup for me from the airport. It is these small gestures that made me trust them better. The school is in Tapovan, an hour drive from Dehradun airport and I comfortably settled down in the room allocated to me. I was probably the first few who arrived much early for the course in March.
On the Fire ceremony day, we got to meet our teachers and fellow batch members. Nervousness and excitement filled me up. We were briefed on how the next 24 days were going to be by the founder Ashish ji.

Deepak ji, Saurabh ji, Shivam ji, Tanushree ji, Vikas ji, Sadhu ji, Ram joshi ji - all the teachers are extremely talented. I am very lucky to have met such beautiful teachers with their timeless knowledge and wisdom that was passed down to us. For anyone who says yoga is slow and doesn't make you sweat, they should seriously try Ashtanga Vinyasa by Deepak sir. You will sweat like hell!
The teachers are very wise - they gradually built up our strength in just 20 days with proper sequence of asanas - improving stamina and flexibility. That's a tough combination to achieve in such a short duration. Theoretical subjects are as important as the practical. Anatomy, philosophy, pranayama are required not just for yoga but also for this life that we are living. It is no surprise to know that we might be breathing incorrectly.

*One important lesson I learnt is that we should not only know how to do an asana/pose, but also its counter pose and finally how to rest. The importance of resting is not widely known. The meditation classes truly improved my sleep quality. Some techniques from Pranayama also helped me in fixing my insomnia. I am sincerely grateful to all the teachers who have come to teach us.
Special mention about Ravi ji and Sonu ji from the school. They are like the childhood friends that you long to meet and have a great time together. They told and showed me some beautiful places around Rishikesh that one must visit. They addressed to any of the concerns that were raised in the school. They also arranged surprise birthday parties for students, dance nights, and many many more. We all went to river rafting, celebrated Holi, sunrise at Kunjapuri temple, Vashishta cave, dancing in the rain, many memorable moments with them. They are very sweet and kind. It was a pleasure knowing them :)

And our batch <3 What a batch!! People from all over the world who have come to this course, have become like a family. Everyone was very sweet, we shared our ideas, experiences, our joys and sorrows and had loads of fun. We grew together and learnt alot about each other's cultures, experimenting and embracing the changes, helping each other out and filling ourselves with positivity and hope.
It was everything that I ever wanted in this phase of my life. Universe listens to your cries and knows what to give you, how to heal you.

Finally, the Ganga. She is beautiful, pure and contains magic. She has the power to heal you from inside and out. All you need to do is surrender. Have faith and the Universe will guide you in the right direction, will make you meet some beautiful people, have deep realizations, improve your physical and mental health, delve deeper into oneself and one step closer to the Supreme. You will finally be able to breathe pure air.
Rishikesh is now my second home - the one I would go to not only when I'm a mess but also to know more about myself. Unlearn and Relearn. The experiences you have here are core memories which stay with you forever. I highly recommend Vinyasa Yogashala to anyone who is in a genuine search to learn authentic yoga. Just go for it!

Lots of love!

Vinyasa Yogashalas 200 Hour - Yoga Teacher Training, was an amazing experience.

I gained so much knowledge and wisdom. It exceeded all of my expectations and I learned way more than I could have ever imagined. You are able to download the course books and have them for life. It really is way more than just an average YTT. The teachers are wonderful, kind and really cares for their students.
Weekly zoom classes are held and everything is through WhatsApp which makes it so easy to ask questions. The course platform also has a chat box that usually answered very quickly.

I was able to complete the course in my own time, due to it being online, so highly recommend it for anyone working at the same time. Im sure the experience is way different in person, but they were able to create a beautiful, calming atmosphere, that still gave the feeling of being in India with them.

I only wish we were able to keep the course material for life (except to test and assignments). The info is priceless (would be good to repeat from time to time) and the yoga classes would be wonderful to do again and again.

I definitely Recommend this course to anyone, even if your not planning on becoming a teacher, just doing it for you is incredible. You grow as a person and learn a lot about yourself.

So Much Love
to Vinyasa YogaShala team <3

I enjoyed this course! The instructions were very knowledgeable and thoughtful! I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to advance in their Yoga journey.
