A Yoga Alliance certified school is one that has met the standards set by Yoga Alliance, a globally recognized organization that sets guidelines for yoga teacher training programs and registers both individual yoga teachers (RYTs) and yoga schools (RYSs).
My name is Laura Olivia and I live in Canada, one of the reasons I came to India was to learn yoga. At first, I didnt intend to do 200 hours of yoga teacher training but seeing the course syllabus on their website and the good reviews I tried it for 24 days and I dont regret it one bit.
We were received very warmly with a fire ceremony and delicious and a healthy satvic dinner
These are the people who change lives. I'm so grateful for the 3-day yoga retreat I attended at Gurukul Yogashala. It was everything I hoped for and more. 3 days seems like such a short time, but the retreat offers various outings and activities to make you feel...
like you've really gotten a taste of this holy city. Rishikesh is such a beautiful backdrop for transformation.
Hi, my name is Robin, and I am coming from Montreal! I really enjoyed doing my YTTC with Gurukul Yogashala. I have been able to understand what's a correct posture, even the simplest one ;) Arvind was able to challenge and motivate me. Before coming to this
centre I read various book about yoga, but it's only during these 24 days that I have been able to fully catch what yoga actually is.
I completed my 200-hour teacher training at Gurukul Yogashala, and it was a wonderful experience. The administration team, teachers, and staff were incredibly supportive, making the transition smooth and assisting with anything I needed. …
The classes were very informative, and I feel ready to practice on my own back in Mauritius. The schedule at Gurukul Yogashala will surely help me become a more disciplined person. The food was excellent, and I made new connections with students from around the world. Highly recommended—truly a lifetime experience!
Namaste,I have completed my 200-hour Multi Style Yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC). It was a wonderful experience to be at the school and gain knowledge that, upon reflection, seems helpful not only for imparting training in yoga but also for self-practice...
What I liked most about Gurukul Yogashala is the faculty, which, in my opinion, is the most important aspect for a student with the intention to learn. We had the best teachers guiding us through each practice, pushing us to reach our potential while being mindful of any shortcomings. As an Assistant Professor in Philosophy, I found that I learned even more in-depth about yoga philosophy. Courses like Anatomy, which seemed challenging at first, quickly became my favorite. This experience made me realize that when approached in the right way, things are often easier than they seem. Our teachers in Ashtanga, Hatha Yoga, and Pranayama were also excellent. It is commendable that our instructors were not only practitioners themselves but also skilled teachers, which is a rare combination. There were many other positive aspects, such as the food, the serene location, and the basic amenities like accommodation, which all worked well for me. (P.S. – I was in a twin-sharing room.) I suggest that future students prepare themselves mentally for the intense training, as this program requires dedication for almost a month. It’s an excellent opportunity for those committed to learning. I am also very grateful to the school for the excursions they planned for us, the complimentary Ayurveda session, which was helpful in understanding one’s own prakriti, the sound healing session, which was very relaxing, and the kirtan evening as a closing celebration. All in all, it was an enriching experience. Eternally grateful.
I have completed my 200 hours yoga Teacher training.It was beautiful expérience. Fulfilled my expectation. All the teachers are so Good and have lot of experience. I Meet very beautiful persons here sharing a lot of experience stogether. …
Complimentary sessions of Outside yoga session. Our temple excursion was so Good. We had a Good time together. I had such a Good Time learned a lot of things of tradititional practices.Big hug for everyone Mehdi
I took the 200 hour course at Gurukul Yogashala and it was a transformative experience. The super dedicated teachers, Naveen, Arvind, Upendra are amazing people!! I hope to study with them again. …
