October 22, 2023 at 12:00 amI was completely taken aback when I visited Rishikesh. It’s an incredible, breathtaking, and serene place. I’m so thrilled that I went there and completed the Yoga teacher kid’s training course.
Helpful ReviewThe school is just a short 5-minute walk from the town and the river Ganga. The teachers are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They are more than willing to share everything with you. The 9-day course, which lasted for 95 hours, was filled with both theory and practice. The food was exceptional.
I highly recommend this course and the school. I will definitely return to complete the 200 hours yoga teacher course. Thank you for providing me with such a wonderful experience!

The school is located in a peaceful area with a breathtaking view of the mountains. I learned so much from the teachers who are highly educated, patient, and always ready to answer any questions. They were also very helpful throughout the course. Now, I feel more connected to myself and I’m leaving India with a wealth of knowledge.

September 1, 2021 at 12:00 amOur instructors need to improve their grasp of the English language, but it’s understandable considering they do a better job translating wisdom from Hindi than I could. However, this will improve over time. Despite this, the sacrifice is worth it because the wisdom is closer to the source and surpasses anything available nationally. The freedom and flexibility of this course allow me to do whatever I want whenever I want, preventing burnout and allowing me to do large portions at once. This course takes an intuitive, holistic approach to yoga and is definitely worth every cent. Even a small part of the abundant oasis of wisdom it offers can change someone’s life.

This was my first time doing an online course like this, and it was very interactive. We didn’t feel alone with just videos; there was plenty of support available.

May 27, 2021 at 12:00 amAt first, I wasn’t too thrilled about doing YTT online, but with the current situation due to Covid, I figured I’d give it a shot while waiting for things to get back to normal. And I’m so glad I did! The whole experience, from start to finish, was incredibly well-organized. All of the teachers were absolutely amazing. Yogi Vishnu, in particular, was so welcoming, helpful, and full of insights. Devesh, on the other hand, was an excellent alignment teacher and made the classes so much fun.
Despite only interacting through messages and Zoom meetings, I felt such positive energy, support, and love from the other participants in our group. The amount of knowledge I gained from this course is immeasurable, and I don’t think I would have learned as much if I had done the training in person elsewhere. This school goes beyond teaching asanas and anatomy. They start from the foundation, which made me appreciate and admire Yoga philosophy even more. The materials provided are invaluable; even if I had bought them as books, they would have cost a fortune, and I’m not sure they would have been as good or beneficial.
Thanks to this course, I now feel like I have a family in Rishikesh, and I’m eagerly looking forward to visiting India. Whether you’re a new yoga teacher or have been teaching for years, this course is a must-do. I’m already making plans for my 300-hour course with them. Trust me, I can’t recommend this course enough.

April 26, 2021 at 12:00 amFor my part, everything was perfect. I learned so much during these 3 weeks. I loved every minute. Guru Vishnu is incredibly kind and wise, he takes the time to explain patiently, wisely, and sometimes with humor the philosophy and lifestyle of Yoga (among other things). Yogi Devesh is one of the best yoga teachers I’ve had the chance to meet, he is caring, clear, and he helps his students improve their posture, practice, and knowledge with great mastery. The other classes are given on video, but the content is detailed and really interesting (kudos for the anatomy and therapeutic yoga classes, they are fascinating). We also had the opportunity to enjoy a “Yogic” dance class with Sujatha, and Guna was there throughout the stay to help, accompany, and reassure us…. In short, it was truly a beautiful and wonderful journey that I made with them, and I know it’s not over yet. Thank you 😉

The teachers are fantastic – they’re not only excellent, but also humble, funny, and kind.

April 26, 2021 at 12:00 amThe videos had a really low quality, especially the sound, so I didn’t enjoy watching them. It felt like the teachings were more based on subjective experiences rather than facts, which I’m not used to growing up in the west. Some of the anatomy classes didn’t really focus on anatomy at all… I do appreciate the teacher’s perspectives on various subjects, but I think they should consider adapting their teaching methods to suit their students’ backgrounds.
Helpful ReviewElla Matthews
March 26, 2021 at 12:00 amI can’t think of anything at the moment, but I found this course to be incredibly valuable. The teachers, Guru Vishnu and the asana teacher Devesh, were not only friendly but also highly knowledgeable. Guru Vishnu is such a warm and loving man who possesses a deep passion and knowledge about yoga and spirituality. He truly lives out his teachings and has dedicated his entire life to them. Devesh, on the other hand, is approachable, funny, and really competent. He strikes the perfect balance between being gentle with his students and pushing them to improve.
The online course was excellently organized, presented well, and super easy to navigate. Any questions that came up were answered promptly on our WhatsApp group. While transforming my front room into a yoga studio every day may not have been as exciting as going to Rishikesh, it was still a fantastic way to earn this globally recognized qualification. Someday, I hope to visit Rishikesh and personally thank them for everything.
I highly recommend this course not just for the high-quality training it provides, but also for the warm and professional approach of the teachers and the valuable information they share.

And let me tell you, the philosophy classes from guru-ji were mind-blowing. He taught us that yoga is not just a practice, but an art of living.

I just wanted to share with you all how amazing this online yoga teacher training has been for me. I had no idea what to expect when I signed up, but it has exceeded all my expectations. This course has truly changed my life in so many ways. Originally, I thought I would just learn more about asanas, but instead, I found myself drawn to philosophy, yoga Nidra, pranayama, mantras, and meditation.
The philosophy classes with Guruji were absolutely incredible. He helped me see the world and myself in a whole new light. Everything just clicked for me – in my heart, mind, and soul. The teachers are amazing at breaking down complex ideas into easy-to-understand concepts.
I can’t thank the team enough for this life-changing experience. It has opened my eyes to true traditional yoga, and I’m so excited to keep learning and growing. I’m already planning a trip to visit the ashram in India soon.
If you’re on the fence about taking this course, just do it. Trust me, you won’t regret it. I now have a deeper understanding of yoga, and I’m so grateful for that. I’ll carry this knowledge with me forever.

November 27, 2020 at 12:00 amI really wanted to go to India, but I don’t see myself going there anytime soon. The time zone difference made it tough to attend the live classes. I wish there were more options for different time zones. Both the student and the school had to figure out the technology, but I think they have it sorted now.
This course was mind-blowing and expanded my brain, heart, and soul. I’ve been doing yoga for 20 years, but I had no idea about the true essence of yoga until now. Yogi Vishnu was amazing and showed so much love and care. He gave me insightful answers to my questions and really made me feel valued.
Watching Yogi Vishnu slip into a peaceful state was inspiring. It made me want to go on a journey and fully commit to the yogic lifestyle and meditation. The course was intense with over 400 hours of readings and classes, but the materials are worth it. I wish the course was longer so I could dive deeper into the teachings.

October 26, 2020 at 12:00 amDesde el primer minuto, aprendes cosas nuevas. El mundo del yoga es increíblemente amplio y, aunque creías saberlo todo, este curso y estos profesores me han enseñado mucho. Antes, practicaba yoga de otra manera, pero después de completar estas 200 horas de curso, veo y entiendo el yoga de forma diferente. Simplemente, me siento diferente. No puedo dejar de escuchar las clases de Yogi Vishnu, ¡son increíbles y enriquecedoras! Las clases online de Ashtanga también son muy satisfactorias, y personalmente las seguí día a día, viendo cómo mi cuerpo se transformaba. En general, ha sido una experiencia increíble que recomendaría a todos los yogis y yoginis. ¡Pronto tomaré otro de sus cursos! Muchas gracias a todo el equipo. Nere.

October 10, 2020 at 12:00 amI just completed my 200-hour Multi style YTT in Rishikesh and what an experience! It was 25 days of learning and growth in my own home. The training was so thorough and I gained so much knowledge. The teachers were all amazing! Thank you to Guruji, Ashu, and everyone for this life-changing experience. I hope to see you all in Rishikesh again soon!

October 8, 2020 at 12:00 amI absolutely loved the 200 hours online yoga teacher training course! It was truly transformational. Even though I’ve been practicing yoga and meditation for years, there was so much new information for me to learn. I now have a more holistic understanding of yoga, seeing it as not just a physical activity, but a mental, spiritual, and lifestyle practice. Each day, I can feel myself progressing in my capabilities and understanding.
The quality of teaching was top-notch, and the teachers and course organizers were incredibly patient with all our questions on Whatsapp, answering them promptly. The amount of material provided was fantastic, and I know I’ll be referring back to the videos and e-books for months to come.
This experience has had a positive impact on my overall lifestyle and well-being. I find myself less interested in pizza and more eager to get up early and start my day on the yoga mat. I believe this experience will stay with me for life, and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with others as a teacher. I can’t wait to take my next course with Living Yoga School one day. 🙂
Even though the course was online and there was no option to rate food and accommodation, the teachings about how to eat and live daily life were excellent.

October 7, 2020 at 12:00 amI have found nothing disappointing with this course; it has exceeded all my expectations. I am grateful for the opportunity to take the 200-hour YTT self-paced course from Rishikesh online. The course is well-organized, systematic, and scientific, covering all aspects of yoga. The knowledgeable and motivating teachers are available to help anytime during the course. The high-quality videos provided have helped me learn about subjects that were difficult for me to understand and implement in my practice and daily life before, such as pranayama, meditation, mudras, bandhas, mantra… I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn more about yoga and deepen their understanding of its origins and purpose in human life.

September 30, 2020 at 12:00 amI really enjoyed this course and would highly recommend it. I made sure to attend as many live classes as possible so I could build rapport with the teachers and other students. The instructors were patient and informative, always answering our questions in the WhatsApp group they created. It was a great way for us to share information with each other. Overall, this course was a great value for the money. I especially loved the philosophy lectures.

September 30, 2020 at 12:00 amThe live recordings sometimes have poor quality, making it hard to understand. I decided to take a Yoga teacher’s course online for the first time because of the whole corona madness. I was skeptical at first, but I quickly realized I could learn a lot through this online course. I am pacing myself through the course due to work, so I couldn’t join any live classes. However, the materials are preparing me well to teach a yoga class. The videos are clear and informative. I’m really glad I took this course and would recommend it to anyone unsure about online YTTC. I can’t wait to visit the school in person. Namaste!

September 26, 2020 at 12:00 amThe team handled issues like weather and internet connection affecting some of our classes, so everything was managed properly. It would have been nice to have a curriculum outlining weekly progress and milestones, but overall the course was amazing. I’m thrilled I chose this 200-hour multi-style yoga teacher training! The concepts and practices exceeded my expectations, and I recommend this training for all levels. The gurus and team put together a holistic course that offers so much more than just asanas. It’s not just a “200-hour yoga teacher training” – it’s a guide to living a yogic life based on Himalayan traditions and Vedic philosophy. The yoga philosophy classes were my favorite, bringing together all the wisdom we learned. I’m grateful for the wise gurus who helped us find our own light. The real training starts the day the program ends.
Many thanks to the team for taking care of all our needs and concerns and arranging online classes seamlessly. Everyone’s dedication is exceptional. I hope to train at Living Yoga School, Rishikesh in person someday to soak up all the wisdom.

Guru JI delivers enriching teachings about yoga philosophy, which I highly appreciate, along with the valuable information we receive in anatomy/pranayama class and the challenging yet rewarding Ashtanga class.

September 26, 2020 at 12:00 amI loved the whole experience, but let me highlight the availability of the teachers. They were always there to clarify all our questions and make sure we had the best possible experience. I had never considered taking a yoga Instructor course in India, but this opportunity changed my mind. Even though I had no previous knowledge in teaching yoga and limited practice skills, I felt they wanted us all to evolve, no matter our previous experiences. Now, I’m very interested in deepening my knowledge and practice. I’m sure it would be perfect if I could take this course in person when it’s safe to travel again.

September 26, 2020 at 12:00 amNot much going on. I really wish I could be there in person once Covid is over. I can’t really say much about the food since I did the online class. This whole experience has been life changing. I couldn’t make it to India for a yoga instructor training retreat because of Covid and my full time job. But the online classes have been great for learning about not just poses, but also the philosophy, history, anatomy, and benefits of yoga. All the teachers are super patient and professional. I highly recommend this course for anyone who can’t travel but still wants to dive deep into yoga and find some inner peace. Namaste.

The instructors are readily available to reach out to whenever you need them, which is very helpful as a self-paced student. I believe that going online for a 200-hour YTT is a great option for beginners because it’s simple to practice from home and cost-effective. I hope to attend Living Yoga School for a 300-hour YTT in the near future!

September 15, 2020 at 12:00 amI am thrilled that I booked this programme, it has truly been an amazing and life changing experience from beginning to end.
All of the teachers are incredibly wise and knowledgeable, and they teach each class with fantastic English.
The content of the 200 hour YTT exceeded my expectations and provided me with a traditional, authentic yoga experience.
Even though I had previously completed a 500 hour YTT, this 200 hour teacher training has given me a deeper understanding of all aspects of yoga practice, from Asanas and pranayama, to mudras, mantras and philosophy.
I am grateful for the experience and for the school’s willingness to share other events with us. In August, we had the opportunity to experience Ganesh Chaturthi, which was amazing.
Thanks to Guru Ji and all the teachers for making this YTT truly unforgettable.
I highly recommend Living Yoga School to anyone looking to become a yoga teacher or deepen their personal knowledge of Yoga.

September 9, 2020 at 12:00 amTaking the online course is not the same as actually being at the venue. It would have been great to have a more detailed timetable, but I did sign up last minute. I just completed my online 200 YTTC today after 25 days of full-time training on all aspects of yoga – including ashtanga, hatha, pranayama, and philosophy.
Learning yoga online has been different, but it is effective if you stay focused and disciplined during the classes. While it would be nice to be in Rishikesh, given the current Covid lockdown, this is the next best thing.
I really enjoyed the ashtanga and hatha training, as the teachers are amazing! I highly recommend this school and course for anyone who is passionate about yoga. Go for it!

August 9, 2020 at 12:00 amI had an amazing experience at this YTT! The program exceeded my expectations. The teachers have excellent knowledge and methodology, teaching in the yogic tradition of the Himalayas. You really get to learn yoga asanas, yogic philosophy, and lifestyle in the tradition of Northern India. Even though the course was online, the connection with the teachers and classmates was great – proving that human connection can happen in many ways, not just in person. I am so glad I took the opportunity to immerse myself in Rishikesh for 25 days and feel enriched in my knowledge and practice of Ashtanga and Hatha yoga. Namaste!

July 10, 2020 at 12:00 amI participated in an online Yoga teacher Training Course during a time when travel wasn’t an option. I can’t review the accommodation/food/facilities/location, but I’m sure they would provide a warm welcome.
The experience was wonderful, I enjoyed the intensive classes that introduced me to ancient yoga knowledge. The classes were well structured and planned thanks to Ashu Ji and Surendra Ji. Guru Vishnu Ji shared wisdom on yoga philosophy, meditation, and yoga nidra.
Most classes were held on Zoom, allowing connection with teachers and classmates. Pre-recorded videos provided self-study opportunities. Questions were answered with care and insight by the dedicated teachers, administrative team, and film crew.
Reading materials and class footage were provided for review. It was a well-thought-out course from start to finish.
If you’re considering an Online Yoga Teacher Training Course, I highly recommend it. I’m grateful for this valuable experience and will apply what I’ve learned throughout my life.

June 9, 2020 at 12:00 amHi there! I’m Kathelijne, originally from Holland but now living in Luxembourg, that tiny country squeezed between France, Germany, and Belgium 🙂 Today marks the final day of a 200-hour online multi-style teacher training! The past 25 days have been such an interesting journey for me. Our incredibly knowledgeable teachers have taught me so much. Guru Vishnu Ji shared his wisdom on yoga philosophy, Ashu Ji pushed us through asana classes with humor, and Surendra Ji explained pranayama techniques and anatomy in easy-to-understand terms. I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn from them and will carry this wisdom with me always. Despite being online, I’ve felt the strong spiritual vibes of Rishikesh, and I can’t wait to meet all of you in person once we can travel again! Without a doubt, I highly recommend Guru Vishnu Ji’s schools: Samadhi Yoga Ashram, World Peace Yoga School, Living Yoga School, or Vinyasa Yoga Academy. Sending love and light to all of you, Kathelijne 🙂

March 16, 2020 at 12:00 amThe school leader, Vishnu, announced that they plan to move elsewhere in the future. The interior of the main building is described as ‘tired,’ but the group, teachers, and staff have managed to make it feel like home. Although the food was a bit repetitive, it tasted good and surprisingly I didn’t miss meat at all. I found out that the food is actually cooked at another school and then transported over. It’s a shame they don’t prepare it on-site with such a good kitchen available. Sometimes we ate out, and luckily there’s a great coffee shop just a few meters away. Overall, I was quite happy with the food options.
The teachers were very knowledgeable and would engage in conversations when they arose from discussions. Manshu, the yoga anatomy and therapy teacher, was not listed for review but I must say he was excellent. His vast knowledge and superb teaching inspired me to pursue a qualification in yoga therapy at home. A big thank you to all the teachers. I also want to mention Manesha, who handled the day-to-day operations of the school. She was always kind, calm, and helpful.
I can’t recall the name of another staff member who works for the school, but he was very helpful. He even took me on his scooter twice to get cash. Thank you to everyone for making my experience at the school a great one.
