Yoga Teacher Training In Rishikesh

I had an amazing week at Yoganandham, improving my yoga practice with Manish, Kamal and Vaibhav, learning meditation and Pranayama, eating delicious food, and receiving ayurvedic treatments. A wonderful reset before a month of travelling in beautiful India. Run by really helpful and inspiring people.

I had a wonderful time at Yoganandham. From the moment I arrived I felt a sense of calmness, security, and ease. After traveling between multiple cities in India, this was the place I needed to be. It’s tucked away surrounded by mountains about an hour car ride from the actual city of Rishikesh which makes it the ultimate yoga retreat setting. The instructors were all very helpful in their guidance. I came just for the yoga retreat but I learned so much about Ayurvedic wellness by being here! I especially loved the morning and evening meditations. I learned so much here and i definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a calming yet rejuvenating getaway.

I arrived at Yoganandham in the beginning of October, needing to find my mojo again. My san culpa was to improve both my physical health and emotional stability, strengthen my yoga practice, and drop a few kilos. A big ask in a mere four weeks. But the month of October at Yoganandham did not disappoint. I completed a 28 day Panchakarma (PK) treatment under Dr Tanvi’s excellent guidance, understanding and encouragement. It only took days to start to feel the cleansing benefits in my physical body. The quiet of the Himalaya mountains along with their inherent energy, was working to soothe my emotions. After the first week, there was an intake of positive people and energy, who were a saving grace, and real bonds formed and a cohesive and supportive environment was formed. This was enhanced by the owners who treated us like family, and I’m so very grateful for their attention, kindness and care. Our meditation and pranayama sessions were guided by a teacher gifted in delivery of same. Our morning Hatha and afternoon Ashtanga yoga sessions were conducted by professional and experienced teachers who quickly came to understand our personal bodies, providing timely adjustments that benefitted a range of tight hips, lower back issues and locked shoulders. Small class sizes certainly afford a great environment for individual attention and guidance. The PK treatments were well structured and comprehensive. Four hand massage is wonderful! The accommodation affords privacy and comfort, and has enough mod cons to keep you happy. The food is restrictive if you’re doing PK, but there is a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables that are freshly prepared (sometimes straight from the garden to table), nutritious and tasty. All the staff were friendly and responsive to our needs and requests wherever possible. I am wholeheartedly grateful to the owners and staff, and to the happy, positive people with whom I shared space and time. Yoganandham offers great value for money and if you’re looking for relief from the hustle and bustle of busy city life, and seek a supportive encouraging environment, for either PK or a yoga retreat or teacher training, you will enjoy and value your time and experience at Yoganandham. Highly recommended!

Wow! No words can explain the experience I’ve had at yoganandham retreat! Such professional teachings, the food was delicious, the treatments were amazing and everyone was so welcoming and kind. As a yoga teacher I feel that Ive learnt so much from this experience and the classes enriched my knowledge greatly. I will be sure to come back!!

I completed a 28 day panchakarma during March and I deliberately waited with my review so I could evaluate whether I saw ongoing benefits after I left. And yes, I probably appreciate the experience even more now a few months later! I’d say it probably isn’t as strict as an Ayurvedic clinic and we didn’t have a lot of face time with the doctor but she was contactable 24/7. There was a bit of confusion in the first few days when I was eating things I shouldn’t and I think maybe the instructions could have been a bit clearer. But in the larger scheme of things, these were minor blips and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole month. I felt very comfortable there. It’s out of town in a little village and it’s quite peaceful for the most part, although the neighbouring hotels do like to pump some music at times - however it’s still a lot more peaceful than staying in Rishikesh. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable, the food was delicious, the staff were great, the treatments were wonderful. I came to Yogandham not feeling myself, feeling far too old for my age, struggling with unexplained physical aches and pains, my bodily systems not working properly, and a very foggy brain. Four weeks wasn’t long enough to completely undo the decades of bad habits and damage I’d done to my body but it certainly started the process and I already felt so much better when I left. I’ve continued following the instructions the doctor gave me and I’m now 14kgs lighter and feel like myself again. I’ve seen huge improvements in my body and mind, I don’t even recognise the person who entered the retreat if I’m being honest. For me, it’s been an incredibly, incredibly positive outcome 🙏.

Spent a month here and loved the experience. Really great yoga instructors and staff.

Amazing experience! 100% recommend this place to learn Yoga. They are very professional and knowledgeable, the classes are really enriching and you always learn something new. The chef is really good and accommodates taste of food accordingly (if needed). Thank you for this experience team!

This was a great and enrichend experience. The teachers have a big knowledge and experience. I learned a lot from them. And on top they try to make everything to make your stay as best as it can be. The rooms are very luxury and the view on the Mountains is amazing. I really Hope to come back one day. It was great, I really recommend this place and I am very greatful to make this experience!!!

I am very glad I took the time to stay at Yoganandham. I had the most amazing experience! In addition to the daily yoga and meditation classes I had the Panch Karma. The massages and treatments were excellent. The food was fresh and wonderful. I had my own room and bathroom making it very comfortable!!! I highly recommend them. It’s a perfect place to unwind , connect and realign yourself spiritually.. don’t think about it, just do it!!! Thank you again to the entire team!!🙏🏽🙏🏽💕👌🏽👌🏽

This was my best decision. We did a 3-day yoga and meditation retreat and every moment was worth it. Right from Preeti to Manish, everyone was a master in their own field. Personally, the Yoga Philosophy class was the highlight of the course. The food was absolutely delicious and wish they would include a course on teaching their recipes as well. I'd be the first one to sign up. Will definitely come back. Great experience!
