Bali retreat offers 5 days of wellness with yoga, meditation, massage, and healing activities in a serene environment.

I’m not sure what the agreement between World Peace Yoga school and the hotel was, but I’m certain we could have gotten better food for the money we paid. When I booked this teacher training, I thought I’d be okay with eating the same meal every day. But I was definitely wrong. They served steamed or fried rice/french fries with vegetables, tofu and tempeh, and salad, mostly twice a day. Sometimes, you’d even find poorly washed salad or mold on your plate. I would have loved more nutritious ingredients like quinoa, lentils, or other nuts besides peanuts, even if it was only every third day. Breakfast was good though!

Another thing that bothered me was that the teacher training I actually booked was completely different from what I experienced. The photos of the hotel and everything were completely misleading, but it turns out this program was new. The title of the training I booked even had “Ayurveda” in it, so I expected much more discussion about this topic than the two lessons we had. But overall, I’m happy with what I learned and experienced! I just want the readers of this review to know that whatever you book, it may turn out completely different from your expectations (maybe it’s a good life lesson anyways). ? I loved learning from the teachers and deepening my knowledge about Yoga. Thank you Ashu for integrating your Indian culture into your lessons, although there was a lot of storytelling, which sometimes made it hard for me to relate to the initial topic. But I felt it was important to understand where the roots of Yoga come from.

The schedule was packed, but that’s what I wanted so I could fully immerse myself in the experience. The quality of the lessons was exceptional, and the teachers were devoted to thoroughly teaching us, which was the most important thing to me! Thank you very much. ??

The hotel resort was very clean, and I loved having a spacious room all to myself. The best spot for meditation was definitely the rooftop. The small gym was also a nice addition!

Il y avait des travaux dans le bâtiment qui faisaient du bruit, mais ils se sont terminés rapidement. L’équipe d’enseignement était disponible et réactive, proposant des activités annexes et initiant les participants au Gayatri mantra.

The yoga hall was dirty and too hot or too cold because of the construction of the rooftop. I caught a cold because it rained for two days. The props were very dirty and had a bad smell. This school’s atmosphere wasn’t good, it felt too commercial and didn’t have good energy. I couldn’t finish the course because of these reasons. Everyone in my group was frustrated. It was supposed to be a nice experience, but it wasn’t. However, the group itself was nice and some of the lessons were good. Plus, the location of the school and the view were pretty good.

The tutors were amazing. They had immense knowledge and passion for their craft. They held compassion and respect for the students, which made every class interesting. I will definitely come back for more training.

There are no tools to clean. You can’t mop or wash the sink in the room.

The food was okay for the first two weeks, but then they just kept feeding us the same things every day and I started eating out on the street every day… I thought I came here to get healthier, but I ended up gaining weight :/

I really liked the group of people who came to get certified. We all got along perfectly. It was a fun, busy day from morning to night.

I absolutely loved the ashtanga classes with Ashu and the anatomy classes with Himanshu. They were my favorites. I also really enjoyed the philosophy class 🙂

We didn’t actually practice teaching on each other, but Ashu was a great teacher. I personally felt like this course was beneficial for me as an already experienced teacher, helping me to deepen my knowledge and review key points.

I had a wonderful experience with everything in this training! The instruction for the physical part of the class, the asanas, was absolutely sensational. Ashu really impressed me with his vast knowledge of the physical aspects of yoga.

The Yoga Philosophy class was truly excellent. Vishnu Panigahi possessed immense knowledge and his ability to share his wisdom was filled with so much love and compassion. His words continue to resonate with me. I can’t express enough how amazing he was.

I can confidently say that this training has truly transformed my life!

The yoga classes provide one of the best experiences. The teachers are excellent, helpful, and friendly. They all provide great support. I’m actually planning to take another course with them.

This experience has been absolutely amazing! Get ready to receive…receive a ton of knowledge, loads of understanding and compassion, plenty of help, and the hard work of everyone involved, both in front and behind the scenes. No matter what problems, confusions, or disorientations our group faced, we always found space, understanding, and the best help possible. Thank you for this incredible and beautiful experience!

You guys did a great job managing everything! The only issue was that it was hard to find any problems. Thanks to the whole team for offering such an amazing life-changing program. I’ll definitely stay connected with you all.

I highly recommend this course! It is totally worth the money and provides a great experience. I absolutely loved the teaching methods, and the teachers are very knowledgeable.

The teachers at World Peace Yoga School gave us a wonderful and life-changing experience that I can’t even put into words. The content of the course exceeded my expectations with its beauty and comprehensiveness. I really want to continue learning from these amazing teachers. Thank you, World Peace Yoga School, for providing such incredible experiences.

I was on the lookout for a school that could provide me with exactly what I had been searching for, and that’s when I stumbled upon World Peace Yoga school. Let me tell you, I am absolutely captivated after completing their 3-day program. It surpassed all my expectations. Everything they taught me was like a gift, especially when it came to learning about Tantra. I truly cherished those 3 days and I definitely plan on continuing my journey with them.

If anyone out there is eager to gain knowledge, I highly recommend this school.

I was really surprised by this course, especially since I had taken a previous one. It’s on a whole different level, like being in a classroom setting with the teachers right in front of you. They address any questions or confusion right away, just like in a regular classroom. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and professional. They focus on making the experience enjoyable while also developing skills like concentration, confidence, and mind/body awareness, so that we become competent and healthy teachers. The course content is well-researched, balanced, and easy to understand. I know I’ll come out of this course feeling ready to handle any challenges life throws at me. I really enjoyed being a part of their first online course, and I’m so impressed that when Covid-19 is over, my wife and I plan to attend a course in person to meet Guruji and the other teachers. I’ve already signed up for a Tantra course and plan on taking more courses in the future. This is just the beginning of a lifelong journey for me. The course was presented in a professional and detailed manner, and I truly believe this is a new chapter for World Peace Yoga School. May God bless this school.

Cons: I can’t think of anything negative.

I completed my 200hr kundalini online with this school last month, and it was fantastic! So, I had high expectations for the tantra course, and let me tell you, I wasn’t disappointed at all. The whole weekend, from beginning to end, was absolutely wonderful. Yogi Vishnu’s daily lectures were packed with so much information, and he always made jokes with us and answered all our questions. It was such a fun and interactive experience.

But the real transformation came from our Tantra practices with Flavia Radha. I can’t even put into words how amazing they were. They literally made me feel lighter and more connected. I enjoyed those practices so much that I was overjoyed when they sent us recordings of the classes afterwards. Now, I can keep practicing whenever I want. That’s such a valuable resource.

If you’re interested in diving deeper into the beautiful world of Tantra, I highly recommend this course. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

The audio wasn’t always very good, but I really liked the kindness of the teacher and the participants. The second day was especially memorable for me.

We had three days full of energy and it was a very sacred course with an incredible sense of holiness. I am so glad I could attend it, and I can’t wait for the next course with so much love! Thank you so much, Yogi Vishnu and Radha, for this wonderful journey. You truly opened my heart.

If you’re looking to learn yoga, deepen your practice, and grow as a person, this is the place for you! The course was truly intense but incredibly rewarding. I can’t thank everyone at world peace yoga school enough for sharing their beautiful culture and creating such an amazing atmosphere.
The teacher is simply outstanding, sharing their knowledge and teaching from the heart. Vishnu Guruji, in particular, is an exceptional yogi who motivates and enlightens us with important yoga topics. I really miss this course, it was an absolutely incredible experience. I highly recommend this school to anyone interested.

Hey everyone at Namaste World Peace Yoga Family! I just wanted to share that I had an absolutely incredible time with you all. The highlight of this course, for me, has definitely been our amazing teacher, Vishnu. He is such an inspirational and positive soul! I was going through a tough phase in my life, but the value he brought into my life with this beautiful course is truly indescribable. I highly recommend World Peace Yoga School to any students out there, because what truly matters is the quality and experience of the teachers. I am so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you all so much!

The course was very well organized and I really liked its dynamic energy and organization. I’m just a beginner on the path of tantra, but after taking the course, I feel like I’m on the right track and I’m even more interested in exploring this path further. A huge thank you to the amazing teachers.

Even through Zoom, Tantra Yoga still retains its energetic Asanas.

I’m having normal difficulties connecting to Zoom from all over the world. And let me tell you, the teachings at World Peace Yoga School have been absolutely special and beautiful, just like all my previous experiences. You won’t find this incredible stuff in any book or YouTube video. I’m truly grateful for everything I’ve learned!

I was really impressed by the amazing and passionate teachers who gave us a wonderful Tantra Yoga course. I’ve never had such a beautiful experience before and I am really satisfied. Namaste.

The Internet in India can be quite temperamental, so we had to be patient with it. Fortunately, we always managed to fix it, although it was challenging.

I want to mention that this review includes accommodations and food, but the course itself was online. And let me tell you, it was fantastic! The course was divided into two parts: theory and practical. And guess what? I enjoyed both!

Now, I have to admit, understanding the theory can be difficult. So, if you’re thinking about taking this course, it would be helpful to have some prior knowledge of Hindu gods and goddesses.

But let me tell you about the practical classes – they were simply incredible! Each day, I felt completely cleansed, replenished, and full of love. The teachers delivered these classes with confidence and deep knowledge, and they were truly inspiring. It’s amazing how they could convey all of that through a screen. It speaks volumes about the school and the course.

I would definitely recommend this course to my friend, and I encourage everyone to go into it with an open mind. I learned so much that I can apply to my own practice and teaching.

One of the best things about this experience was connecting with people from all over the world. It was truly lovely.

Get ready to experience the clearing of blocked chakras, enhanced sensuality, emotional freedom, and a true relationship with your core power.

I loved it all! Vishnu really knows how to break down the symbolism of Tantra. He believes that by understanding its symbolism, we can avoid misunderstandings and strive towards the ultimate goal: Union. Despite his serious demeanor, he has a unique ability to connect with his students, even in online classes.

Radha’s Tantra flow class is absolutely beautiful. She takes us on a journey into the depths of Tantric practices, immersing us in its powerful vibrations.

I’m currently undergoing the 200 hour teacher training, where I’m receiving in-depth instruction on both Tantra and Yoga. The team at World Peace Yoga is truly amazing. Joining their family will truly transform you!

didn’t maintain the school properly and it was too old.

The facilities at this place are absolutely awful. I mean, there’s mold growing out of the walls, no cleanliness whatsoever, and the food consists only of carbs. Plus, the kitchen is just disgusting. Can you believe that? And get this, there were four of us in our class, and three of us actually lived on the school premises. Guess what happened? Yep, we all got super sick. It’s ridiculous!

Oh, and let me tell you about the female dorm. There’s no hot water available! Can you imagine? And as if that’s not bad enough, there’s a water outage at least once a day. It’s like they don’t even care about basic amenities. And don’t even get me started on the staff. They are so impolite! All they do is sit around on their phones. Even the owner, during kirtan (which is supposed to be a spiritual gathering), is on his phone. It’s just one disappointment after another.

We went there hoping to get our 300-hour certification, but guess what? We didn’t get it. They barely provided us with half the hours needed, and yet they still gave us a certificate. It’s a complete scam! They should not be allowed to provide certification, especially since they don’t meet the requirements of Yoga Alliance.

Thankfully, we reached out to BookYogaRetreats for help in getting a refund. They did their best, and although we only got a small refund from the school, at least they also refunded the commission we paid to BookYogaRetreats. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Okay, I have to admit, there were a few good things about the place. The location was really central and convenient for everything. And we did have some decent classes on anatomy, hatha, and alignment, with knowledgeable teachers. But honestly, the negatives far outweighed the positives.

Unfortunately, the yoga classes were in Lithuanian due to a last-minute teacher change, even though they were announced in English. But thanks to a very capable translator and the dedication of the yoga teacher, it was well managed! Overall, it was a wonderful stay in Lithuania. The accommodation was okay. However, the food was fantastic, with fresh and vegan options every day.
The sessions with Vishnu Pranighari were incredibly valuable. And the yoga instruction provided by a Lithuanian yoga teacher has enriched my yoga practice immensely.

I wasn’t really disappointed by anything. I knew the ashram wouldn’t be a luxurious 5-star hotel, but it had everything I needed. When I went in December, it was a bit colder than I expected, but I managed with extra blankets. The hot water for showers didn’t last long, but it was fine because cold showers actually helped me wake up in the mornings! The 200-hour Kundalini yoga teacher training surpassed all my expectations. The staff and teachers were amazing – so knowledgeable and friendly. They became like family to me. Despite the rigorous schedule of waking up at 5am and going to bed at 10pm, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the spiritual side of yoga. We had plenty of opportunities to practice meditation, asanas, and more with the group. Plus, there was enough free time to explore the town and have some fun!

We only spent 10 minutes on teaching methodology. Honestly, I anticipated that we would spend more time discussing how to build a sequence, proper postures during practice, and what to do at the beginning and end of each session. I think we should start covering these topics from the second week onwards and ask students to dedicate 30 minutes every day to their own practice, while also providing constructive feedback. After all, I enrolled in this course to become a teacher, not simply to practice yoga daily.

Speaking of feedback, as a student, I would appreciate receiving constructive criticism from the teachers instead of hearing phrases like “very good”. I want to know how I am progressing and what I can improve on. Throughout the course, we have repeatedly asked for constructive feedback, but all we receive is “very good”.

Let’s talk about food. As a yogi, I expected bland meals or at least dishes without spices. However, the food was the same every lunch and dinner, with the only difference being chapati served during dinner. The meals were heavy and excessively spicy with lots of black pepper. Despite my request for bland food, I ended up eating boiled carrots and potatoes for an entire month. As a yogi, I believe that food should nourish and support the body, mind, and soul, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here.

Next, let’s discuss the course manual. In my opinion, it should include adjustments for each pose. The anatomy section should provide general information about each system, but the muscles aren’t explained well. Additionally, it should cover modifications for poses based on different diseases or muscle imbalances, such as herniated disks, for example.

Overall, this experience allowed me to delve deeper into myself and change my perspective on life and the world. I learned various breathing techniques that have improved my daily life. I acquired new skills and knowledge that I’m excited to share with others. Furthermore, I discovered how to live and interact with people from different countries, sharing common spaces like the dining room and my personal room. It was a fantastic experience because I was able to be myself throughout and no one pressured me to change or be someone else. I am truly grateful for all the time and knowledge that each teacher shared with us.

Yoga knowledge, practice, and sharing energize open-hearted beings.

The program was very intensive. Most classes were great, and the location, food, and accommodation were all good. However, there were two teachers who were not very good. Overall, the program met my expectations and I would recommend it.

The course timetable and what’s included were falsely advertised. The location and accommodation were good, but the teaching hours were fewer than expected. They didn’t cover any teaching methodology, which was disappointing and created tension. The overall vibe was not yogic at all. I would not recommend this experience, as it was more like a Yin intensive than a proper teacher training. However, some staff members were knowledgeable and did listen to complaints, making efforts to make adjustments.

The food here at school is so redundant. Sometimes it’s way too spicy for me, but the breakfasts are really good! The teaching and the games are of great quality, and the proximity to the Ganges and cozy cafés is a plus. The locals of Rishikesh are so friendly, and this place has such a wonderful energy.

The food had too many carbs for me. I really wanted some vegetables in the morning. But hey, you can actually ask for a special meal if you need it and they’ll take care of it. I found out a bit later that it’s possible. This city is just incredible!

The school is stunning and has a vibrant atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at ease, like you’re at home. They have all the amenities you could possibly need. Just remember to bring your mat and soak up this incredible and unforgettable experience!

The teachers’ knowledge is outstanding! They give you so much information in such a short time. It’s truly impressive!

The Retreat took place at a place that was under construction, but it will soon become a beautiful location with a large, inviting dining area, comfortable rooms, and a bright yoga space on the roof. They were also in the process of adding facilities for massages, etc.

During my 6-day Yoga Retreat, everyone there was so helpful, friendly, and genuinely wanted the best for us. They really cared about us, their students. They made sure to give us the best possible experience and even took us on some unexpected adventures.

The program during the day was holistic and included various yoga classes such as Hatha, Pranayam, Ashtanga Vinyasa, and Meditation. We also had a daily excursion to look forward to.

Being there, I felt like I had a little family around me.

There’s some mold in my room that needs to be fixed. The teachers are absolutely fantastic, overflowing with knowledge and passion for their subjects. You won’t get bored in their lessons, that’s for sure! The school staff is incredibly kind and caring, always there to lend a helping hand whenever you need it. It’s like having a second family here, and when it’s time to leave, you’ll be filled with so much sadness to go back home.

During the retreat, we had a little organizational hiccup regarding the accommodation and location switch for the different sessions. But luckily, our yoga, Pranayama & meditation teacher Rajiv was amazing. He not only gave us a brief overview of the background and reasons behind each technique, but also made sure we had extensive practice both in the mornings and afternoons.

Apart from the sessions, we also had some exciting excursions during the day. These allowed us to catch a glimpse of the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas, the Ganges, and some spiritual sites.

A big shoutout to Vishnu Ji, the founder and guru of the world peace yoga school. His high spiritual energy and warmth can be felt everywhere in this place, and we’re truly grateful for that! Om!

The food wasn’t fresh and didn’t have any detox properties. We didn’t have any juices or tea available.
Nobody came to clean the room at any time.
One of the yoga rooms had a monkey pee in it, but we still held our class there because we didn’t have enough materials.
The trips were not well-organized.
We had to ask multiple times for our massage, and when we finally got it, it only lasted for 30 minutes and the rooms were dirty.
The classes in the retreat package were basic and there was overlap.
The kitchen staff was very friendly.
