Experiences from Around the World

Unedited reviews from students who completed our programmes in Rishikesh.

“The school exceeded every expectation. The teachers are genuinely knowledgeable, the food is nourishing, and the Ganga energy is unlike anything else. I left not just certified but changed.”

Sophie Laroche 🇫🇷 France · 200-Hour YTT

“Yogi Vinay Ji is a master teacher. He carries so much wisdom and shares it with patience and humour. The 100-hour course gave me a solid foundation and real confidence to teach.”

David Okonkwo 🇳🇬 Nigeria · 100-Hour YTT

“I came for a short retreat and felt the depth of this school immediately. The morning yoga by the Ganga, the food, the teachers — every part of it was authentic and beautifully handled.”

Yuki Tanaka 🇯🇵 Japan · 5-Day Retreat

“Completing my 200-hour training here was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The curriculum is thorough, the teachers are dedicated, and the atmosphere in Tapovan is magical. Already planning to return.”

Maria Gonzalez 🇲🇽 Mexico · 200-Hour YTT

“Small group sizes make a huge difference. I received personal attention and genuine feedback throughout the 25 days. Philosophy classes with Dr. Ravi were intellectually rich and practically grounding.”

Tom Fischer 🇩🇪 Germany · 200-Hour YTT

“A perfect reset. Three days of yoga, amazing vegetarian food, and time by the Ganga. The teachers were warm and knowledgeable. I came feeling burnt out and left feeling renewed.”

Anika Patel 🇺🇸 United States · 3-Day Retreat

“If you are serious about yoga teacher training, choose Maa Ganga Yogashala. The standards are high, the environment is genuine, and the certification is internationally recognised. Worth every rupee.”

Luisa Ferretti 🇮🇹 Italy · 200-Hour YTT

“The Pranayama and meditation sessions alone were worth travelling to India for. Priya's teaching style is clear, grounded, and effective. My breathwork practice has improved dramatically.”

Carlos Mendez 🇪🇸 Spain · 100-Hour YTT

“The sound healing programme was beyond what I expected. Yogi Vinay Ji's knowledge of Tibetan bowls, mantra, and Nada Yoga is extraordinary. I now integrate sound into every class I teach.”

Emma Johansson 🇸🇪 Sweden · 5-Day Sound Healing

“Being Indian, I was not sure if an Indian school would offer the rigour I was looking for. Maa Ganga Yogashala surpassed every expectation. The blend of traditional teaching and structured curriculum is excellent.”

Priya Nair 🇮🇳 India · 200-Hour YTT

“Accommodation was comfortable and clean, food was sattvic and delicious, and the schedule was rigorous without being overwhelming. The morning Ganga aarti visits were highlights I will never forget.”

Kenji Watanabe 🇯🇵 Japan · 200-Hour YTT

“Maa Ganga Yogashala is a hidden gem. The school is intimate, the teachers are sincere, and the location in Tapovan is quieter and more peaceful than the busy tourist parts of Rishikesh.”

Rachel Thompson 🇨🇦 Canada · 5-Day Retreat
