Student Testimonials

Read what our students say about their transformative journey

Luna Sol

I traveled from Argentina to Om Yogshala for their 7-day yoga retreat, and it felt like a homecoming! Ashwarya Ji’s Yin Yoga sessions melted away years of tension, and Sachin Yogi’s morning Ashtanga classes energized my body and mind. The staff organized a magical Ganga Aarti ceremony and even adjusted meals for my vegan diet. The shala, surrounded by mountains, was the perfect place to disconnect and reconnect.

Min-Ji Park

As a Korean student, I was nervous about language barriers, but the 200-hour TTC at Om Yogshala surpassed all expectations. Yogi Subhash Ji adjustments were precise, and the philosophy classes (with simple English explanations) deepened my practice. The small class size made it personal, and the Korean-style kimchi the chef made for us was a sweet surprise! Best decision for my teaching journey.

Skye Harmony

I’ve taken Yin courses worldwide, but Ashwarya Ji’s Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh was transformative. Her knowledge of meridian theory and compassionate teaching style helped me unlock deep emotional release. The school’s garden shala, where we practiced under the peepal tree, added to the magic. Om Yogshala isn’t just a school—it’s a sanctuary. Highly recommend for sensitive souls!

Noah Peace

As a beginner, I chose the 100-hour course to build a strong foundation. Sachin Yogi’s patience and humor made challenging poses approachable, and the anatomy workshops were eye-opening. The staff felt like family—especially Rajeev, who helped me navigate Rishikesh like a local. By the end, I was doing headstands confidently! Perfect for men seeking a supportive, non-intimidating environment.

Anya Petrov

After completing my 200-hour elsewhere, I searched for a school that could deepen my practice—Om Yogshala’s 300-hour program was the answer. Ankit and Sachin Yogi’s advanced Ashtanga adjustments took my teaching skills to another level, while Ashwarya Ji’s subtle body workshops on prana and bandhas were revelatory. The small group (just 6 of us!) felt like a sacred sangha.
