Ishavasyam Yoga School

Der Kurs hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen und mir sowohl tiefes theoretisches Wissen als auch wertvolle praktische Erfahrungen in Kundalini und Tantra vermittelt.

All of the teachers were very knowledgeable and professional I learned so much from them and really enjoyed the course, the accommodation was clean and comfortable and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was lovely too.

I contracted dengue fever while I was there, and they took excellent care of me. I'm not from India, so it was a bit overwhelming, but I felt safe the whole time. They were very considerate, and that's why I was still able to complete the training.

All of the teachers are very professional and the classes are high quality. The retreat has great variation in classes and is a great place to develop your own practise. The food is really good, the school is clean and welcoming. The surroundings are great and offers good cafe’s and shopping.

The Kundalini YTT exceeded all expectations. The teachings were authentic, the instructors deeply knowledgeable, and the experience transformative. I gained not only teaching skills but a deeper connection to my inner self. Highly recommend this training to anyone who is called to the path of Kundalini Yoga.

What an incredible experience! At first I doubted myself, because the schedule was rigorous and the instructors held a high standard. It was everything I needed and more. I learned so much about the traditional path of yoga as well as about myself. In 24 days I became stronger both physically and mentally, and I am coming home with confidence and so much knowledge to apply to my own journey, and as a teacher. Thank you for pushing me, supporting me, and welcoming me into the family, Ishavasyam! This was EXACTLY the experience that I didn’t know I needed.

Very grateful to have this experience and get precious knowledge from dedicated teachers.

Deep gratitude to Gushagra Ji for philosophy classes, it was always very interesting!

Thank you to Mahesh Ji for intense Ashtanga classes.

We didn’t have a big group but I liked it because teachers could give attention to every single person.

Everyone was so helpful ready to support and always ready to answer any question we had.

I had multi style yoga training with major in kundalini. It was such a precious experience.

I had absolutely great time at Ishavasyam Yoga school. Thank you, Namaste.

I’ve recently completed a 200hr YTT at ISHAVASYAM and it has been a transformative space for growth—intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. The school’s unique approach combines traditional wisdom with modern education, creating a well-rounded and meaningful learning experience. Under the insightful guidance of Kushagra Ji, we were encouraged to explore our inner potential, develop clarity of thought, and cultivate strong values. His mentorship goes beyond academics, helping us grow into balanced, confident, and compassionate individuals. THANK YOU!

Je suis sincèrement reconnaissante vis à vis de Kushagra, de Disha, d'Aarti et des professeurs qui nous ont suivi durant ces 3 semaines.

J'ai énormément appris, cela va bien au-delà des cours de pratique de yoga comme on l'imagine. Les cours de philosophie permettent de découvrir une nouvelle vision de la vie et peut aider à améliorer son quotidien grâce aux conseils reçus !

Les cours d'anatomie ont été essentiels pour décomposer les mouvements, éviter les blessures lors de la pratique et améliorer son stretching.

Les cours de Kundalini ont été une révélation et je vous conseille vivement de prendre cette option ! Si vous avez besoin de réfléchir, vous pouvez vous inscrire en arrivant.

Enfin, les cours de Hatha, de yoga aérien, de Ashtanga Vinyasa et de méditation et pranayama ont été très bien conçus pour aller crescendo dans la pratique. Cela évite de démarrer trop fort. J'ai vraiment eu le sentiment d'être bien suivie.

En résumé l'ambiance est top, on a très bien mangé, la salle de yoga est très sympa.

Our time at Ishavasyam Yoga School was very special. We loved how passionate and dedicated our teachers were, especially Kushagra who was so happy to share his wide and profound knowledge with us. It makes all the difference when teachers really love their subjects. And you could really see this with every teacher here, we never thought we would have so much fun learning (especially in Anatomy, OPji has a great way of teaching). All together we liked how the YTT was open to all levels, and how much time was given to each subjects. Nothing felt rushed, and there was time for all to understand and ask all kind of questions. We liked how little our group was, which enabled for a very personal and intimate experience. All the staff were lovely. We would definitely recommend!

I loved how the teachers were so passionate, patient and supportive in all classes. I learned a lot, not just about how to properly do poses on the yoga mat, but also life lessons that surely will help me improve my life.

The teachers really care about teaching you in the best way both in the theoretical and practical classes, the place is ideal and the food is delicious, I will definitely come back

The teaching was really thorough and fascinating. The teachers are patient kind and so knowledgable! The location is great and peaceful with lovely cafes nearby.

The training is exceptionally well-organized. Every detail is carefully planned, the teachers are knowledgeable and highly experienced, and they explain everything clearly. The provided information is a deep and foundational aspect of Yoga. The food is consistently fresh and delicious.

I respect all the teachers as they put their time , energy and knowledge into their work . Everyone has a different style which you can learn from.The school is in a great location, is very clean , the rooms are cozy and I really liked the food. Every staff member were helpful and respectful, I appreciate the experience.

Ishavasyam Yoga School promotes a very friendly family like atmosphere and I was super lucky to have a really good group of people. The course is pretty comprehensive although I would have liked more actual aerial teaching skills to be included, whilst I enjoyed the other yoga components (hatha, ashtanga, vinyasa, meditation and yoga philosophy) I was unsure why they were really necessary for this course considering it was a Yoga Teacher Trainer course for Aerial Yoga.

The instructors were good, the food was excellent and the accommodation was humble but comfortable, it is good to note here that you don't actually stay at the school itself but in accommodation nearby.

Also good thing to note, if you work online, do not try and juggle work and do this course at the same time, it is difficult, there is just not enough hours in the day - take vacation instead so you can focus your full attention on the course!

I did not attend the excursion since unfortunately I had to work so I cannot comment on this section of the trip.

Overall I really enjoyed my time here and it was definitely a valuable step to embark on becoming an aerial yoga teacher.

The teachers were extremely helpful and patient. Classes were useful and informative to both experienced and new students. Facilities were excellent.

During the first day, Kushagra ji asked us to introduce ourselves and tell what our expectations were, so I sayed: I have no expectations, whatever this brings, I will take it.

Well, the teachers are soooooo good, so experienced, that I couldn't have an actual idea of what it would have been. Super skilled, patient, caring, polite... Kushagra ji can easily menage both philosophical and technical subjects in a very understanding way, he is caring and understanding, and, with Disha ji, he made me feel at home; OP ji is the first physiology teacher I've met who can actually apply the theory to the practise and explain, in a very simple way, how to move and everything; Anuradha ji sings the mantra with a voice that comes from another world, plus she can teach breathing and concentration techniques; Mahesh ji is a super skilled Ashtanga Vinyasa teacher; coming to the Hatha Yoga part, Gaurav ji is super, I loved everything about him: polite, patient, competent, you can see that he deeply knows the things he teaches and, above all, he treated his subject in a very respectful way.

The environment was welcoming and family-like; the food was always amazing!

The school is 10 minutes away from Laxman Jula and 20 minutes away from Ram Jula (both walking distance). There are lots of cafès and shops nearby. The area is quiet.

I attended the 200 hours YTTC at the Ishavasyam School. As I mentioned in our certificate ceremony, I am feeling really lucky that I chose this particular school, especially because of the location. 🤩 Rishikesh itself is quite noisy, so every time after walking in the city, I was really glad to be back in this quiet place in Upper Tapovan. Once you go out, you have a really beautiful mountain view. We also have a great coffee place just around the corner, where I could study in a nice, peaceful, and chilled atmosphere. 🥰 The staff there is really cool as well. 🤘🏼

But back to the school:)

Although I have been practicing yoga for 5-6 years already, I still learned A LOT from the teachers at the school. 🙌 All the subjects were filled with new information for me. 🤓

Also this school is one of the best in Rishikesh and is known for being honest and open. Unlike some other schools that cancel classes without rescheduling or don’t provide enough learning, this school focuses on giving students a real education. You can trust that your time and money will be valued here.

At the end, I would like to just thank you for this warm experience in India. It was my first time, and the impression is incredible. 🥰

Namaste,

Alena 🙏

Food was very good !

The quality of the lessons dives deep into the complex comprehension of yoga , I am amazed of the knowledge shared and it has changed who I am for the best. I am very grateful to have started my yoga journey with all these talented and passionate teachers. It was alot of information to take in, I decided to take extra lessons of Kundalini and ayurveda so with my aerial course on top my days were full ! I do not regret! Best decision, when I completed I was so satisfied of what I accomplished! It feels like home, you feel cared for. All the staff are incredible and the ambiance of the whole place is bliss. The sound healing session was amazing. I recommend this school! Even after completing the course the direction stills helps you out if you have any questions, there is a community that you can join to keep connected and continue your journey with these talented individuals. thank you deeply for all the laughs and healing tears !

Enthusiastic teachers

I recently completed the 200-Hour Multi-Style + Aerial YTTC at Ishavasyam Yoga School, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The teachers were all incredibly knowledgeable and supportive.

- Op Ji, made me love anatomy again it was engaging ,fun and easy to grasp. His deep knowledge really helped me understand how the body works in yoga and how to use each part of the body to its fullest potential.

- Kushagra Ji,taught Pranayama, Physiology, and Kundalini, brought an incredible depth of wisdom and energy to each class. His teachings were transformative.

- Arjun Ji, made every aerial session both challenging and enjoyable. His enthusiasm and clear guidance helped me push my limits in a safe way.

- Anuradha Ji ,provided such a calming and insightful experience. Her techniques of meditation helped me connect with myself on a deeper level.

- Gaurav Ji, our Hatha teacher, provided thorough instruction with great attention to alignment and detail. His classes were both grounding and empowering.

-Mahesh Ji, who taught Ashtanga, was incredibly motivating. He pushed us to our limits in a supportive and encouraging way, enhancing my practice greatly.

Overall, the program was well-structured, and the learning environment was both nurturing and inspiring. I’m walking away from this experience feeling more confident in my practice and with a deep appreciation for each teacher. Highly recommend this training for anyone seeking comprehensive and transformative yoga education.

I had an amazing experience that felt like a dream come true. I wished it could have lasted longer and left with a sense of nostalgia. I met inspiring people and was guided by top-quality teachers who were not only knowledgeable but also deeply passionate. The food was good, and every lesson was both interesting and high-quality. The entire 200-hour yoga teacher training program was transformative, offering not just skills and knowledge, but also personal growth. It was an unforgettable journey that I would love to relive again.

Namaste 🙏♥️

I feel blessed from so many Yoga schools in Rishikesh to be at Ishavasyam Yoga School. I am so grateful for this time. From my own experience I began to understand what Sadhana ist -discipline in order to achieve a goal, to be on the way to became a best version of myself. We were to 6-8 in the group and for every of us each teacher was always a helping hand. The lead Techer and the owner of the School Kushagra Ji is always there if U have problem or you need a help.♥️

Every techer is the Professional!!!, so much knowledge and wisdom. I wish the time can slow down , in order we can enjoy and впитать больше этой энергии и знаний.

From the first message dear Disha answered all my questions , all my doubts.

Delicious and healthy Indian food three times a day . Thank U so much for all the variety (still I could eat a whole week just kichery:))), I love it).

I still feel myself a part of Ishavasyam Yoga Family. I still can contact every teacher if I need a help. Always in my heart! ♥️Hope to be back soon for other courses.

Thank you dear Kushagra Ji , you light up the fire in me and I will light this fire in other people to make this word be better , full of love and care to each other. ♥️

Attending this yoga school was a wonderful experience. From the first day, I felt welcomed and supported by a team of exceptional and skilled teachers.

The classes are balanced perfectly between theory and practice, allowing students to deeply understand and effectively apply the principles of yoga. I learned a wide range of techniques and knowledge, from asanas to meditation, and each lesson enriched my personal journey.

The stimulating learning environment, which sparked a genuine interest in continuing to study and improve.

I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to deepen their yoga practice in a positive and enriching environment.

Each of the instructors possess immense knowledge to their respective areas. Well designed course for the students to gain knowledge both theoretical and practical. This course has motivated me more to pursue it even further.

Glad I made this choice of doing this course during my vacation in India.

To understand the evaluation, one has to see where the participants are coming from. So, I have also done two 200 hour TTC and 300h TTC. I have been visiting India every year for the past 6 years or so. I am already teaching Hatha Vinyasa (if you want to use that label) und wanted to expand my experience towards a more meditative and deep practice.

Things that were very good:

- managers and teachers were very caring. All my questions were answered beforehand with patience and care

- I was the only one in my batch, so I was able to ask specific questions, and the teachers were so kind to adjust the schedule to my needs

- area: the area is great, upper Tapovan - the Forest is right behind the school, so that makes it quiet and you can escape the bustling roads. At the same time you are surrounded by cafes, restaurants and other yoga schools

- Food: AMAZING - it is Indian through and through … so don’t expect buttered toast, but Vimal´s cooking skills were wonderful. I really enjoyed every meal

- Shala: nice and modern, bright and it has all the props available that one could wish for

- teachers: it´s a bit redundant to talk about teachers because there is a rotation, I can just say that my teachers were quite knowledgable and able to adjust to my needs, they opened my eyes towards the idea of using props and had competency and knowlegde to pass on. Philosophy classes with Sagar were amazing and made ideas and themes more clear in the jungle of philosophical concepts

My experience at the ishavasyam yoga school was transformational. It changed my view on yoga and educated my body and soul in a way I couldn’t imagine before. I feel alive and ready.

Thank you guys.

Tout m’a plu. L’hébergement, la cuisine, les cours, les professeurs, l’équipe encadrante.

J’avais choisi une chambre individuelle et rien à redire à ce sujet. La nourriture est vraiment délicieuse et tout est très frais et varié (merci encore au chef et à Mohit).

Les cours sont de qualités et animés par des personnes qui savent de quoi elles parlent. C’est super intense mais une fois qu’on a pris le rythme on en redemande (j’aurais voulu que ça dure encore un mois 😉).

Si vous cherchez une école pas sérieuse qui délivre le certificat comme ça, vous devriez frapper à une autre porte. À Ishavasyam, on bosse et pas que la technique 💪🏻.

L’école est en bordure de forêt, à l’écart du bruit des rues traversantes, le cadre est vraiment fantastique.

L’équipe (professeurs, managers, cuisiniers…) est très serviable, professionnelle, attentive et à l’écoute.

Bref, c’était une expérience unique et j’ai personnellement appris énormément à tous les points de vue.

Si comme moi vous vous posez beaucoup de questions sur le choix d’une école à Rishikesh, voilà mon avis sur mon passage à Ishavasyam yoga school 🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♂️

Desde México toda la épica hasta la escuela. El entrenamiento de sol a sol. La amabilidad, profesionalismo y actitud de cada uno de los instructores, la seguridad y el ambiente general de Tapovan. El Yoga aéreo, el Hatha, el Ashtanga, la teoría, la desintoxicación, el pranayama, la meditación y hasta la anatomía específica. La habitación con una cama y baño individual. El clima templado.

I can not complained about anything!

They make yo feel at home from the first moment.

The teachers' energy was totally aligned with their teachings! They are so professional and great humans!

The content of the course is dinamic and full of knowledge.

Food was great! Kitchen staff was so kind. Installations very clean and organized. Great location.

I got really inspired to get deeper in the yoga path!

Thank you Ishavasyam family for make my first yoga experience unforgettable!

I was so happy with the school, because it was a smaller class, so it felt more intimate and gave me the attention I needed. I think coming from the uk to India I knew I would get a better education on yoga, but even more so, when I was at the school, as I really felt I was learning from amazing, knowledgeable, experienced teachers who really gave us the best training to achieve the highest understanding of yoga. The way the school had rules, helped me gain the discipline needed as it was serious on us learning as much as we could in the time we had. Overall, I really enjoyed it and the people I’ve met are amazing!

I want to thank you all for the best learning experience yoga teacher course, it would not be possible for your help and especially thank you for our chef who prepared our food on time and healthy. I am very grateful for waiting at midnight for me to check-in . It was the best . 🙏

The location of the school was very beautiful, the rooms were clean, the food was tasty but most of the days were repetitive, the management was polite and considerate, the teachers had good knowledge and tried to help us learn, my knowledge about yoga increased. I recommend this school to others.

My experience with Ishavasyam far exceeding my expectations. Prior to my trip, the communication with the school was fantastic, with prompt and friendly responses to questions. Kushagra and Ritesh were so welcoming when I arrived a few days before the course began and ensured I was settled, which I truly appreciated, as it was their time off. The teachers were all incredible and so knowledgeable. Our days began with 6am Hatha with Sourabh Ji, who showed us many techniques for ensuring our asanas were correct and various pranayama exercises and meditations. We discovered the best stretches and am sure I've grown a few inches over the month! His calming voice was perfect for an early morning class! Yusuf Ji taught anatomy in a clear and energetic way that helped us understand yoga anatomy and the effects on the body. Kushagra Ji's philosophy and Ayurveda classes were clear and structured well, and have enabled me to understand the many aspects of yoga. We ended each day with Ashtanga with Abhishek Ji, who knew how to challenge and extend our practice well. I also completed the prenatal course with Anuradha Ji and Aishwarya Ji and Aerial course with Arjun Ji, and Ritesh Ji taught some very relaxing Yin classes. The food was amazing - Akash and Shivani did a great job at ensuring variety and tastes in every dish they created. I feel far more equipped in developing my own practice and teaching to others. Thank you so much, Kushagra Ji and the team for an amazing experience!

I just finished my 300 hours YTTC at Ishavasyam Yoga School and I cannot express enough my gratitud. I had the honour to learn from incredibly knowledgeable and experienced teachers, the staff was extremely friendly and eager to help, the food was next-level, met a wonderful group of fellow students and the Rishikesh vibe in general inspires you to connect with your Yoga practice and yourself. Yes, you might need a few days to adjust if you're a western coming to India for the first time - as you do every time you leave your comfort zone - but what you get in return it's so much valuable than any fancy facility or fake-city-made-for-tourists. Rishikesh is not Mallorca or Benidorm. And I'm taking the time to point that out because I find hard to believe that some people put the materialistic aspect first than the quality of the teaching and the overall human experience (which to me, it's the whole point of coming here) when giving a review of a Yoga School. You can do 200h or 300h elsewhere paying double or triple without food and accomodation (I have) and go through the same syllabus and get a certification easily, so if what you're focusing on is comfort rather than authenticity, then India is not for you.

Thank you again to all the Ishavayam Yoga School staff for all your efforts and love for what you do on making our time in Rishikesh, to say the least, an amazing experience.

I had the privilege of attending this incredible aerial yoga course in Rishikesh. One of the standout aspects of the course was undoubtedly Arjun, our exceptional aerial yoga instructor.

Arjun's expertise and grace on the aerial hammock were truly inspiring. He guided us with patience and enthusiasm, encouraging us to step out of our comfort zones and explore new possibilities. His ability to challenge us while fostering a supportive environment was commendable and I am immensely grateful for the growth I achieved under his guidance.

What made this journey even more memorable was the small yet wonderful group of students who were part of the course. We shared laughter, challenges, and triumphs together, creating a bond that added immense value to the entire experience. As this was a small group of 6, we usually got plenty of 1:1 coaching compared to other schools where you might have 20+ other students in one room.

If you're looking for a challenging aerial yoga adventure, I recommend this course. Arjun's exceptional teaching and the camaraderie among the students turned this into a truly transformative journey. Thank you, Kushagra and Arjun, and thank you to the entire group for making this experience way better than I could have imagined.

I am very happy that I choose this place, me and my friend we both like the place although We were here for a few days but I must say, the teachers are really great and they know what they are teaching and they will help you the best way possible to take the best out from you.

The food is really good and the management is lovely, the food provided here will help you to do best with your practices. I am very thankful and happy. I highly recommend this place, I have done many years of yoga practice and courses but the knowledge I got here is amazing and help a lot to clear the myths in my head which I had from years.

Lots of love from me and my partner.

The lesson itself was good! I liked all the teachers in the school and also the food. It was tasty. It was too spicy for my high Pitta dosha and I got a severe rash and also bad diarrhea and vomiting! The management just react in the 3rd week and gave me cooling food and drinks for 2 days. at the beginning the food was a bit less for all and we had always the same. Potatos, Rice, Chapati, Chickpeas... All teachers were nice and have good knowledge! There was only a reaction when I felt dirty! The management is very nice, but unfortunately that doesn't help, when you arrive here and you're just in a completely different building, as the photos on the website show! The school had to move some time ago and nobody was informed before arrival that there was a change of location and the pictures and videos are therefore fake! I'm really sorry to give such a bad rating but I hope that others have better luck in being able to attend a proper yoga school! Unfortunately, the communication among the management was often non-existent and random people came every week whose task was completely unclear to me!

Each of the people working in the school, in reception and the professors have an amazing attitude and where always looking forward to support you in anything you need. The professionalism, quality and amazing attitude of each of the teachers make of this experience unique and deep that was exactly what I was looking for. The excursions where beautiful and a great opportunity to share with all the new colleagues you meet. Thanks from the bottom of my heart to KushagraJi , Shubi Ji, Arjun Ji, Monika Ji because you made of this month one of the best in my life - a time I will never forget and I’m looking forward to repeat!🦋💕🍀

Lo que más me gustó fue todo lo que aprendí de los profesores. Te ayudan con todo lo que pueden y más, enseñan muy bien y son un encanto. Reshikesh tiene un ambiente mágico y relajante a las orillas del Ganga. ¡Completamente recomendable!

I loved this course! The instructors were very knowledgeable and organized. Class sizes were small and personalized. We learned how to get into the poses properly to get the most out of our bodies and prevent injury. My body has never felt better. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was fantastic and the excursions were fascinating. The staff went above and beyond. They were happy to help with anything that came up - they even took my shoes to be repaired for me. I can’t wait to come back here for the next level course!

Classes, school support in everything, best teachers!

I recently completed my 200 Hour residential YTTC at Ishavasyam Yoga School, Rishikesh. It was one of the best experiences I had and I will cherish this throughout my life. All the teachers are highly experienced and always ready to share their knowledge with students. The school staff is very caring, friendly, and always very welcoming. During our course, we had beautiful sound healing sessions, kirtans- bhajans, and dance. On weekends we went for excursions such as Ashram visits, Waterfall hiking, Beach yoga, Ganga arati, and sunrise at Kunjapuri temple. The food is amazing and they always provide healthy and delicious meals. Their room is basic but very neat and clean. Thank you again for the amazing experience...

I recently finished my 50 Hour Aerial YTTC from Ishavasyam Yoga School and I'm happy that I found the perfect place. The teachers are very knowledgeable, the food was terrific, and the staff was very kind & polite. If you are looking for Yoga courses don't hesitate to join this school as it is an authentic place to learn. I have studied in several schools but Ishavasyam Yoga School is the best soo far. Would recommend it to anyone interested in the yogic path and I will definitely come back to join their other programs.

Actually i don‘t like this assessment and its not easy to give one, when u made these kind of experience the first time.

But after the 100h training my mind and body where just happy and i think this speak for itself..

So thanks to ALL at Ishavasayam yoga school :)
