Through the practice of kids yoga, children learn important life skills such as mindfulness, self-awareness, and self-regulation. They learn how to be more present in the moment, how to manage their emotions, and how to cultivate positive relationships with others.It also provides a safe and supportive space for children to express themselves, build confidence, and explore their creativity.

Eating well is vital for a healthy and balanced life. That’s why at World Peace Yoga School, we provide our attendees with delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals as part of the program fee. Our goal is to create a nurturing environment that allows you to focus on your learning and training, and we are committed to making your stay enjoyable and hassle-free. Just remember, there won’t be any meals served on Sundays. If you have any specific dietary needs or preferences, please let us know in advance.
Now, let’s talk about the yogic diet. It’s a plant-based eating plan that emphasizes fresh, organic, and whole foods. No additives, preservatives, or artificial sweeteners. It’s based on the principles of Ayurveda, a holistic healing practice from Indonesia that recognizes the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. Instead of meat, fish, poultry, eggs, onion, garlic, alcohol, and caffeine, a yogic diet focuses on fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and herbs.
So, what are the benefits of this diet? Well, for starters, it promotes physical health by providing important nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants. It also boosts the immune system, reduces inflammation, and lowers the risk of chronic diseases. On top of that, it enhances mental clarity by avoiding heavy, oily, or stimulating foods, improving concentration, memory, and focus. And let’s not forget about spiritual growth. The yogic diet helps cultivate a pure and harmonious state of mind and body, which is essential for spiritual development. It even balances energy levels by consuming foods that align with your body’s energy.
Now, let’s talk about the meals included in your stay. You can look forward to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. We’ve got you covered!
You can get extra instruction or tutoring outside of regular program hours, but it does come at an extra cost. Sundays are free days for students in the Kids Yoga Teacher Training in Bali. You can take this opportunity to rest and explore the stunning beauty of Bali. There are tons of activities to do and places to visit on the island. You can go hiking in nature, visit temples, enjoy the beach, go shopping in local markets, or simply unwind and recharge in the peaceful surroundings. World Peace Yoga School wants you to use this time to connect with yourself and your surroundings, and truly make the most out of your time in Bali.
You can register with Yoga Alliance once you complete the course.
After successfully completing the course, you’ll receive a certification.
We provide yoga mats, props, and other equipment.
You’ll have access to teaching manuals and course materials.
Practice spaces and yoga studios are available for you to use.
We offer Wi-Fi and other basic amenities.
You’ll stay for 4 nights.
We provide daily meals including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
You won’t have health insurance or travel insurance included. You’ll also need to cover the airfare and other travel costs for your trip to Bali.

Lastly, any personal expenses like shopping, extra meals, and beverages are not covered.

Helpful ReviewAleksandra Lopatko
November 21, 2023 at 12:00 amI’m not sure what the agreement was between World Peace Yoga school and the hotel, but I think we could have gotten better quality food for the money we paid. When I booked this teacher training, I thought I would be okay with eating the same meal every day. But I was definitely wrong. We were mostly served steamed or fried rice, french fries with vegetables, tofu and tempeh, and salad, twice a day. Sometimes the salad wasn’t washed properly and there was even mold on my plate a few times. I would have loved to have more nutritious ingredients like quinoa, lentils, and other nuts besides peanuts, even if it was only every few days. The breakfast was good though!
Another thing that bothered me was that the teacher training I actually booked was completely different from what I experienced in the end. The hotel and other things in the photos were nothing like what I saw. It seems like this program was new and hadn’t been done before. The title of the training had “Ayurveda” in it, so I expected more discussion on that topic than the two lessons we had in the end. But despite all that, I’m happy with what I learned and experienced! I just wanted to let others know that whatever you book, it might turn out to be completely different from what you expect (maybe that’s a good life lesson anyway). ? I loved learning from the teachers and deepening my knowledge about Yoga. Thank you Ashu for incorporating your Indian culture into the lessons, although sometimes the storytelling made it hard for me to connect to the main topic. But I felt it was important to hear about the roots of Yoga.
The schedule was packed, but that’s exactly what I wanted to fully immerse myself in the experience. The quality of the lessons was exceptionally high and the teachers were dedicated to teaching us thoroughly, which was the most important thing to me! Thank you so much. ??
The hotel resort was really clean and I absolutely loved the spacious room I had all to myself. The rooftop was the best spot for meditation. Plus, having a small gym was a nice bonus!

The teachers were absolutely fantastic. They were incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and clear in the way they taught us. I was in awe of their expertise.
The food was also a highlight. The kitchen staff prepared three fresh and diverse meals every day, and let me tell you, they were delicious. I never got sick during my time there, which was a huge relief.
Not only that, but the front of house staff were always there to help with any questions I had. They were so helpful and always had a solution to any problem that came up.
And lastly, I can’t praise the people there enough. Everyone was so kind, caring, respectful, and friendly. It truly made the experience so much more enjoyable.

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amThe yoga hall was dirty and felt too hot or cold because of the rooftop construction. I caught a cold after it rained for two days. The props were extremely dirty and had a bad smell. The atmosphere at this school wasn’t great; it felt too commercial and lacked positive energy. I couldn’t complete the course because of these issues. Everyone in my group was frustrated. It was supposed to be a nice experience, but it turned out to be the opposite. The group was nice, though. Some of the lessons were good, and the school’s location and view were pretty nice.

June 17, 2022 at 12:00 amI regretted staying at the school, and I would recommend paying for just the course and staying/eating elsewhere. It would have made my experience better and saved me money staying elsewhere and eating out every meal. I ended up eating out most of the time because many students before me got very sick from the food and water. The food wasn’t balanced and lacked nutrition, mostly consisting of carbs and oil. The accommodation was basic, with a bed that was even harder than my wood bed during Vipassana! If I had stayed at a hostel, I would have had a cleaner space, no 10:30pm curfew, and a more comfortable bed. And probably fewer night terrors too! Moving on to the teachers here, they are all amazing. I had the pleasure of being taught by Dr. Lata Ji, Sunil Ji, Kanna Ji, Dr. Himanshu Ji, Naveen Ji, and a special shoutout to Siddha Ji. Every single teacher was extremely knowledgeable in their respective fields and had a way of explaining things that really expanded my mind. Everyday I felt incredibly lucky to be learning from such highly educated and intelligent individuals.

May 31, 2022 at 12:00 amYou can’t clean anything because there are no tools or equipment. It’s impossible to mop or wash the sink in this room.
The food was decent for the first two weeks, but then they started serving us the same things every day. I ended up eating out on the street every day… I came here to get in shape, but I actually ended up gaining weight :/
I really liked the group of people who came for certification. We all got along really well. It was a lot of fun and there was always something going on.
I absolutely loved the ashtanga classes and the adjustments and alignments with Ashu. The anatomy classes with Himanshu were also great. They were my favorite classes. I also really enjoyed the philosophy classes 🙂

However, the app itself was great and I really enjoyed communicating with everyone during the training. The training was absolutely amazing! We delved into beautiful philosophy, practiced inspiring mantras, and had uplifting chanting sessions. We also had a wonderful yoga tantra practice. The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and had a lot of heart. Guru Vishnu, in particular, has a heart of gold and emits radiance and peace. He generously shared his time, knowledge, resources, and love. This 3-day training was a true blessing and opened my life to so much more than I could have ever imagined.

It’s on a whole other level. The teachers are right in front of us, just like in a classroom. They address any questions, confusion, or misunderstandings right away. Plus, they are incredibly knowledgeable and professional. The main focus of the instruction is to make the experience enjoyable while also encouraging us to develop skills like focus, confidence, and mind/body awareness. This creates competent teachers who are healthy in body, mind, and spirit.
The course provides well-researched and easy-to-understand material. I’m confident that I’ll be prepared to take on any challenges that life throws at me after completing this course. It was a pleasure to participate in this online course, especially considering it was their first one. I’m so impressed that my wife and I plan to attend an in-person course at the school once Covid-19 is over. We’re excited to meet Guruji and the other teachers. I’ve even already signed up for a Tantra course and plan to continue with further courses. I feel like this is the beginning of a lifelong journey.

Even though I am not physically present with them, I still felt their positive vibes. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to deepen their yoga practice.

June 15, 2020 at 12:00 amEverything was perfect. I have to mention that the internet connection in India was not optimal during the online course, which caused some minor issues for us. It was out of anyone’s control, but World Peace Yoga School had already anticipated this and found solutions. As a bonus, we received all the recordings of the classes! So now I can do my Tantra Yoga practices over and over again! I highly recommend taking an online course from the comfort of your own home.
I was supposed to travel to India for the 200-hour yoga teacher training course, but had to postpone it due to the Corona virus. Instead, I did a 3-day online course in Tantra Yoga, which was absolutely amazing. World Peace Yoga School offers a really high standard of education online! The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and their energy is beautiful. This course was beyond words, such an incredible experience! I would recommend this professional school with a family/community feeling to everyone! I can’t wait until I can attend a full course in person. This online course made me realize that I made the right choice in selecting this school for my future 200-hour course. Furthermore, Tantra Yoga is a beautiful part of yoga that I highly recommend. The divine energy we experienced through our practices was overwhelmingly beautiful! I have nothing but love and respect for this school, the teachers, and my fellow students. Namaste!

June 15, 2020 at 12:00 amThe Internet in India can be quite temperamental, so we had to be patient with it. However, it was never a major problem as we always managed to fix it, although it was challenging at times.
Let me tell you about this online course, which covered accommodation and food. The course itself was absolutely fantastic! It was divided into two parts: theory and practical. And guess what? I enjoyed both!
Now, the theory part can be a bit difficult to grasp, especially if you don’t have any prior knowledge of Hindu gods and goddesses. So, I would highly recommend having some background knowledge in that area.
As for the practical classes, they were simply incredible! Each day, I felt completely cleansed, replenished, and filled with love. The teachers delivered these classes with confidence and deep understanding, which was truly inspiring. It’s amazing how they were able to connect with us through a screen, showcasing the excellence of the school and the course.
I would definitely recommend this course to my friend, and I encourage everyone to approach it with an open mind. I learned so much that I can now incorporate into my own practice and teaching.
Lastly, it was a lovely experience to connect with people from all around the world during this time.

June 15, 2020 at 12:00 amI really enjoyed it all! Vishnu offers a fantastic overview of the symbolism of Tantra. He believes that not understanding the symbolism leads to confusion, and the ultimate goal is union, just like any great teaching. Despite being serious, he somehow knows how to connect with his students, even online.
Radha teaches a stunning Tantra flow class that takes everyone on a profound journey into the world of Tantric practices.
I’m currently taking the 200-hour teacher training, which provides me with a thorough understanding of Tantra and Yoga. The team at World Peace Yoga is amazing. Joining their family will truly transform you!

June 4, 2020 at 12:00 amThere’s really nothing noteworthy about this. I took a previous course before this one, so I had certain expectations coming in. But let me tell you, this course completely exceeded those expectations. It’s on a whole different level and scale. It feels more like a classroom setting with teachers right in front of us. Any questions or confusion are dealt with right away, just like in a regular classroom. And I have to mention how knowledgeable and professional the teachers are. They really know their stuff.
The main focus of the instruction is to make the experience fun while also building skills like focus, confidence, and mind/body awareness. They aim to produce competent, balanced teachers who are healthy in mind, body, and spirit. The course provides well-researched and easy-to-understand material. I know that I’ll come out of this course ready to face any challenges that come my way.
I have to say, it’s been a pleasure to be a part of this online course, especially since it’s their first one. I’m so impressed that my wife and I are planning to go there in person once Covid-19 is over. We want to take another course and meet Guruji and the other teachers. I’ve already signed up for a Tantra course and I plan on taking more courses in the future. This feels like the start of a lifelong journey.
The course was presented in such a professional and detailed manner. It was clear and easy to follow. I truly believe that this is a new beginning for World Peace Yoga School, and I hope that God blesses this school.

January 28, 2020 at 12:00 amThe facilities at this school are absolutely horrible. There’s mold growing out of the walls, cleanliness is non-existent, and the food consists solely of carbs. The kitchen is incredibly nasty. There were four of us in the class, with three of us living on campus, and all of us ended up getting very sick. To make matters worse, there’s no hot water in the female dorms and we experience water outages at least once a day. The staff is incredibly impolite and all they do is sit on their phones. Even the owner, during kirtan, is constantly glued to his phone. We enrolled in this school to obtain a 300-hour certification, but we didn’t even come close. We barely received half the required hours and yet they still gave us a certificate. This school is a complete scam and they shouldn’t be allowed to provide certifications. They clearly don’t meet the requirements set by Yoga Alliance.
Thankfully, BookYogaRetreats assisted us in trying to get a refund. In the end, we only received a very small refund from the school and BookYogaRetreats refunded us the commission. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. On the positive side, the location was central and had easy access to everything. The anatomy, hatha, and alignment classes were good with knowledgeable teachers.

July 27, 2019 at 12:00 amThe heat during the summer, especially during power cuts, sometimes gave me a hard time. But it’s important to note that the school has no control over this. Nevertheless, I cannot express how happy and grateful I am to have chosen this school! From the very beginning, everyone made sure the school felt like a home away from home, which I truly appreciate. The training syllabus is outstanding, covering super interesting and relevant subjects for those who want to delve deeper into the ancient knowledge of yoga after the 200hr training. And none of this would be possible without the amazing, professional, and inspirational teachers and founder. You can see how much yoga is a part of their daily lives. The staff, both at reception and in the kitchen, are friendly and always willing to assist with a smile. The atmosphere and energy of the place are incredible, with a light and bright feel. Not to mention the beautiful garden area and a spacious balcony overlooking the mountains. The classrooms are clean and fully equipped. Thank you all for making this transformational experience in my life so unique. Thanks to you, I now feel like I have a home in Rishikesh. If I ever consider taking another yoga training, this would definitely be the place. If you’re looking for a truthful, enriching, and transformational yoga experience, this is the place to be!

December 31, 2018 at 12:00 amI wasn’t disappointed at all. I knew the ashram wouldn’t be a fancy hotel, but it had everything I needed. It was a bit colder in December than I expected, but I had enough blankets, so it was fine. The hot water for showers didn’t last long, but it’s okay because cold water really helped wake me up in the mornings! The 200 hour Kundalini yoga teacher training was even better than I expected. The staff and teachers were incredible – so knowledgeable and friendly. They became like family. Even though it was an intensive course (waking up at 5am and going to bed at 10pm), I highly recommend it to others interested in the spiritual side of yoga. There were plenty of opportunities to practice meditation, asanas, and more with the group. And there was enough free time to explore the town and have fun too!

Helpful ReviewJessica Cattelan
December 5, 2018 at 12:00 amWe only spent 10 minutes on teaching methodology. Honestly, I thought we would spend more time on building a sequence, correct postures, and what to do before and after practice. I think starting from the second week, we should ask students to practice for 30 minutes every day and provide constructive feedback. After all, I chose this course to become a teacher and not just to do yoga every day.
Speaking of feedback, as a student, I would appreciate constructive criticism from the teachers instead of just hearing “very good”. I want to know how I’m progressing and what I need to improve on. Throughout the course, we asked the teachers for feedback multiple times, but they always replied with just “very good”.
Now let’s talk about the food. As a yogi, I expected the food to be bland or at least not spicy. However, the food was the same every lunch and dinner, with the only difference being chapati during dinner. It was heavy and had a lot of black peppers. I specifically asked for bland food, but for a whole month, all I got was boiled carrots and potatoes. As a yogi, I expected food that nourishes my body, mind, and soul.
Regarding the course manual, in my opinion, it should include adjustments for each pose. The anatomy section should provide general information about each body system. The muscles are not explained well enough, and it should also cover which poses are suitable for different diseases or muscle imbalances, like herniated disks.
Through this experience, I deepened my self-reflection and changed my perspective on life and the world. I learned various breathing techniques that can enhance my daily life. I gained new skills and knowledge that I intend to share with others. Additionally, I appreciated the opportunity to live with people from different countries and learn how to share dining and personal spaces. It was a great experience because I could be myself without pressure to change or become someone else. I am truly grateful for the time and knowledge shared by each teacher.

June 6, 2018 at 12:00 amI absolutely loved everything about my experience at World Peace Yoga School in Rishikesh. Even though the living conditions were a bit humbling compared to what I’m used to, I felt safe the entire time and it’s all part of the experience. Some students complained about the food, but you can’t please everyone. Personally, I had no complaints and if you’re not satisfied, you always have the option to try a local cafe or restaurant where you can get a whole meal for less than $4 USD.
I can’t fully express how wonderful and fulfilling it was to take the 200hr yoga certification course here. From the moment I arrived at the school, I felt at home. Guru Vishnu, the owner, greeted us at the entrance and a volunteer helped with our luggage and showed us to our rooms. Everyone here is so kind and they become like friends. My yoga belief and knowledge have truly deepened during my time here.
Initially, I had some doubts about taking the yoga course in Rishikesh instead of doing it weekly in NYC, but I was blown away and extremely grateful that I made the choice to complete my certification here. The teachers are simply the best and they have so much knowledge to share. Classes start early in the morning and end late in the evening, six days a week. It pushes you physically and mentally, but it’s all worth it in the end.
I could go on and on about all the amazing people and experiences I’ve had at WPYS, but there’s not enough space here, haha. I’m really looking forward to completing my 300hr course here, hopefully within the next year or two, once I apply everything I’ve learned at home. 🙂

When I voiced my displeasure about the unfairness, they transferred me to a better place. Unfortunately, my room still wasn’t ready for another two nights. By then, I decided it was too late to switch rooms, so I left the retreat program and took yoga classes at nearby studios instead. The assigned yoga instructor was subpar, teaching us as if we were in a teacher training program rather than a retreat. He kept repeating himself. WPY didn’t provide what I signed up for and wouldn’t refund my deposit, even though they were the ones in the wrong.

December 21, 2017 at 12:00 amDuring a 15-day stay, half of the price covers the classes and meals, while the other half is for accommodation. At a price of 600 euros per month, you will have a shared room with a bathroom. The bathroom is very dirty (even though it may appear clean for India), the sheets and towels were all stained, and the blankets and pillows smelled really bad. Plastic littered the garden beds along with some forgotten old laundry. I won’t even mention the dishwashing area, which was frankly disgusting and revolting (the dishes drained into old juice), and the water filter was dripping yellow (definitely do not drink the water!). In short, for a price that approaches European rates, you’ll get a slum. Otherwise, you can find accommodation of the same quality for three times cheaper in the immediate vicinity. If you still plan on sleeping there, don’t forget your towel and pillow if you have the space! Quality education with very interesting classes.

The food is always delicious and ready to eat, and the chef is willing to accommodate your needs as he is very kind. The rooms have large working fans and the option to add air conditioning. The staff is always willing to help you, answer questions, and provide the best experience. The views from common areas are absolutely breathtaking and worth seeing. I had an amazing journey and grew so much as a person. I gained more knowledge and wisdom than I expected and felt blessed to be part of the Work Peace Yoga School family.

May 6, 2017 at 12:00 amHowever, many students experienced diarrhea while staying here. We’re not sure if it’s due to adapting to India or just a general food problem. The teachers teach enthusiastically and demonstrate a yogi lifestyle and mindset themselves. They create a great environment that encourages students to exchange thoughts and ideas. I’ve learned a lot about myself and life here. Plus, they go above and beyond the official 200-hour requirement, teaching us about Ayurveda (which I love!), yoga therapy (included in the 300-hour program), and more.

May 3, 2017 at 12:00 amThe electricity kept going out constantly, but I was able to tolerate it.
I didn’t have water for days, and it was tough to deal with, but I managed to get through it.
I slipped and fell on the stairs because there were no railings. When I told the staff about it, they just laughed and blamed the language barrier, which is unacceptable.
The lack of cleanliness in the kitchen made everyone sick, which is inexcusable.
The rooms and bathrooms were filthy, which is completely unacceptable.
There was no organization for the Sunday excursion, but I guess that’s just how things are in India.
I could continue listing all the issues, but I’d rather not revisit that experience. The only positive aspect was the teachers.

April 17, 2017 at 12:00 amI had to adjust to walking on Laxman Juhla bridge on the first day, dodging scooters, monkeys, cows, and rushing people. But it’s all part of the experience and now that I’m back, I miss it all! Everything. Once I got used to the chaotic streets, I discovered the magic of Rishikesh. The power of the river Ganga is palpable on the beaches, you can feel its sound and energy – that’s why it’s considered divine. In the evening, the mountains surround Rishikesh like black clouds against the grey sky and the town echoes with prayers from the ashrams. The people here are amazing, not focused on money, welcoming, and spiritual. The yoga teachers are fantastic too, very knowledgeable and skilled at correcting your postures professionally. I definitely plan on returning.
