October 22, 2023 at 12:00 amI was absolutely surprised when I went to Rishikesh. It’s a wonderful, stunning, and peaceful place. I’m so glad I went there and took the Yoga teacher kid’s training course.
The school is just a short 5-minute walk from the town and the river Ganga. The teachers are really friendly and they really know their stuff. They’re happy to share everything with you. The 9-day course, which was 95 hours long, was packed with theory and practice. Plus, the food was excellent.
I highly recommend this course and the school. I definitely plan to come back and take the 200-hour yoga teacher course. Thanks for the amazing experience!

September 1, 2021 at 12:00 amOur instructors could improve their grasp of the English language, but it’s not a major issue since we can understand them in context. They do a better job translating wisdom into English than I could do translating from Hindi. I think their English will gradually improve over time. The sacrifice of dealing with this language barrier is worth it because the wisdom they offer is much closer to the source, surpassing anything available nationally. The freedom and flexibility to practice whenever I want prevents burnout and allows me to do large portions at a time. This course takes an intuitive and holistic approach to yoga, making it worth every cent. Even a single drop 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 really interactive. You didn’t feel alone with just a bunch of videos. There was plenty of support available.

May 27, 2021 at 12:00 amAt first, I wasn’t too excited about doing YTT online, but with the current situation, I figured I’d give it a try while waiting for things to go 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 have been absolutely amazing. Yogi Vishnu in particular is so welcoming, helpful, and insightful. And let’s not forget about Devesh, who is an excellent alignment teacher and really knows how to make the classes fun.
Even though we only met through messages and Zoom meetings, the group had such a positive and supportive energy. I felt so much love from the other participants. The knowledge I gained from this course is invaluable, and I can’t thank them enough for it. Honestly, I don’t think I would have learned as much if I had done the training in person somewhere else. This school goes beyond just teaching asanas and anatomy. They start with the foundation and really make you appreciate and admire yoga philosophy.
The course materials alone would have cost a fortune if I had to buy them as books, and I’m not even sure if they would have been as good and beneficial. Thanks to this course, I feel like I now 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 an absolute must-do. I’m already making plans for my 300-hour course with them. 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 the philosophy and lifestyle of Yoga (among other things) with patience, wisdom, and sometimes humor. Yogi Devesh is one of the best yoga teachers I have had the chance to meet, he is caring, clear, and he guides his students to improve their posture, practice, and knowledge with great mastery. The other classes are given in video format, but the content is detailed and really interesting (kudos for the anatomy and Yoga therapy classes, which 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 really a beautiful and wonderful journey I took with them, and I know it’s not over. Thank you 😉

April 26, 2021 at 12:00 amThe videos had a very bad quality, especially the sound, so it wasn’t enjoyable to watch them. I felt like the teachings didn’t rely enough on facts, but more on subjective experiences, which is something I’m not used to growing up in the west. Some classes, like the anatomy ones, lacked proper discussions on anatomy. I do appreciate the teachers’ views on many subjects, but I believe they should adjust their teaching approach to cater to the backgrounds of their students.

March 26, 2021 at 12:00 amI couldn’t think of anything, but I found this course really valuable. Guru Vishnu and the asana teacher Devesh were both friendly and knowledgeable. Guru Vishnu is such a warm and loving man, and he has a deep passion and knowledge of yoga and spirituality. He really lives what he teaches and has dedicated his life to it. Devesh is approachable, funny, and really good at what he does. He knows how to be gentle yet push his students in the right way.
Helpful ReviewThe online course was well-organized, well-presented, and easy to navigate. Our questions on the WhatsApp group were answered quickly. Even though it wasn’t as ambitious as going to Rishikesh, turning my front room into a yoga studio every day was a great way to get this globally recognized qualification. Someday, I’d love to go there and personally thank them. I highly recommend this course because of the quality of the training, the warmth and professionalism of the teachers, and the valuable information they share.

January 26, 2021 at 12:00 amI absolutely loved everything about the course. Devesh, the teacher who taught us Hatha, was truly one of the best teachers I’ve ever had in my yoga practice. He didn’t just teach us asanas, but also enlightened us on the philosophy of life. His classes and lectures always blew us away. Guru-ji, who taught the philosophy classes, was incredible as well. He simply taught us that yoga is an art of living, and I loved every moment of it. This course is so comprehensive because it teaches you the path of yoga as a lifestyle, not just as a way to become a yoga teacher.

I just wanted to share how fantastic this online yoga teacher training has been for me. I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I signed up, but I am so happy I did. It has truly been a life-changing experience in so many ways. Originally, I came to learn more about the asanas, but surprisingly, I found myself more interested in philosophy, yoga Nidra, pranayama, mantras, and meditation. The philosophy classes with Guruji were absolutely amazing. He really opened my eyes to a whole new perspective on the world and myself. It was like everything just clicked for me in my heart, mind, and soul. The concepts were taught in such an easy and understandable way by the teachers. I can’t express how grateful I am for this experience. It has completely changed my life and I can’t wait to keep learning. I’m even planning to visit the ashram in India soon. If you’re debating whether or not to take this course, trust me, just do it. You won’t regret it. I now have a much deeper understanding of what true and traditional yoga is, and that’s something I’ll carry with me forever. Thank you all so much! Namaste.

November 27, 2020 at 12:00 amI wish I could have been in India, but sadly I don’t think I’ll get a chance to go there for a long time. The time difference made it difficult for me to attend the live classes. It would have been nice to have more options for different time zones. Both the students and the school had a learning curve when it came to using the technology, but I think they’ve got it figured out now. This experience was truly mind-blowing and life-changing. I’ve been practicing yoga for 20 years, but I never truly understood its essence until taking this course. I used to think the spiritual side was a bit silly, but getting up at 5 AM every day to learn yoga philosophy from a real guru really opened my eyes. Yogi Vishnu was incredible – he poured out love and genuinely cared about each of his students. His answers to my questions were insightful and thought-provoking. He made me feel so loved. Watching him slip into a peaceful state of meditation was inspiring. It made me desire what he had and motivated me to fully dedicate myself to the yogic lifestyle. The course was definitely more than just 200 hours. There was around 400 hours of readings, classes, tutorials, and it was challenging to balance it with my regular life. However, the materials provided were incredibly rich, and I still have access to them even after the course ended. I would have loved to have a longer course with the same materials, so I could savor and delve into them more deeply. Overall, I highly recommend taking this opportunity to study with the great masters of yoga.

Canceling my trip to Rishikesh due to the pandemic was disappointing, but I was skeptical about doing an online training. However, now I’m so happy that I did.

I had the privilege of learning the philosophy and yogic lifestyle from Guru Vishnu, the founder of Living Yoga School and four other Ashrams in Rishikesh. He is incredibly experienced and began his spiritual journey at a young age. He’s such a wise and humble soul, full of knowledge.
Ashu ji, my teacher for Asana practice, Alignment, and Anatomy, deserves a special mention. He is truly incredible and always takes the time to explain things multiple times if needed.

These individuals possess immense knowledge and put in their absolute best effort to teach their students about their subjects. Spending time with them was a true privilege.
The reading material they provide is extremely valuable as well. When I calculated the cost per hour for just the live classes, it was unbelievably worthwhile.

During our opening ceremony, Guru Vishnu assured us that even though we couldn’t physically be in Rishikesh, we would still feel its essence in our own homes. And he couldn’t have been more right. As a class, we formed an amazing bond and I felt a strong connection with both my teachers and fellow students. Throughout this month, I gained a wealth of knowledge, but the most important lesson was realizing just how much more there is to learn. This experience has ignited a flame within me and I now have a deep desire to continue my learning journey. I am forever grateful to my teachers and everyone behind the scenes who made this online course such a beautiful and enriching experience.

October 28, 2020 at 12:00 amThe school is working tirelessly to adapt to the new online platforms needed during this difficult period. They are learning fast to deliver quality lessons using zoom. This course really awakened me. I came from a fairly typical western yoga attitude, believing I would just learn to teach a few yoga poses safely and talk about breathing. The school and its traditional yoga teachings really amazed me by gently introducing me to a deeper understanding of the many aspects of yoga and how to share that knowledge with others.

October 27, 2020 at 12:00 amWhat an amazing journey I had during the 200 YTT online course! I initially came to this site to find a school in Rishikesh where I could train with local teachers. And as soon as I discovered this school, I had a strong feeling that it was the right place for me. Turns out, I was absolutely correct!
Throughout this experience, our Gurus filled our hearts with love. I learned so much, and I truly believe that this is just the beginning of my yoga journey! The Gurus conveyed their knowledge with honesty, humility, and authenticity, and I am infinitely grateful for that.
The online classes provided excellent material, and the ability to complete the course at my own pace was incredibly important to me.
Namaste to Guruji, Devesh, and everyone at Living Yoga School!

October 27, 2020 at 12:00 amI really wish we could all meet up and I could give each one of you a big cuddle! But hey, it’ll happen eventually, haha. Let me tell you, my experience during our 200 YTT online course has been absolutely incredible! I stumbled upon this site while I was looking for more information about YTT, and I decided to give it a shot even though I didn’t have any expectations or prior experience. And wow, it has surpassed everything I could’ve imagined.
I’ve had the chance to connect with people from all over the world, even in these strange times, and it has been like a breath of fresh air. In just a month, I’ve learned so much about yoga, life, and most importantly, myself. The online modules and the flexibility to go at our own pace have been a massive help. It’s hard to put into words, but our incredible gurus, teachers, and classmates have all come together to guide us on our path of enlightenment. The knowledge and wisdom they’ve shared have prepared us for every aspect of our lives and our yoga practice.
I can’t express how grateful I am for this experience. It truly has been life-changing. Thank you so much to Guruji and Devesh, everyone at Living Yoga School, and our amazing class. You are all wonderful souls that I am forever grateful for. Namaste. <3

October 26, 2020 at 12:00 amYou start learning new things from minute one. The world of yoga is infinitely vast, and even though you think you know or understand things, this course and especially these teachers have taught me a lot. Before taking the course, I used to practice yoga in a different way, but after these 200 hours of training, I see and understand yoga differently, that’s how I feel. I could listen to Yogi Vishnu’s classes for hours… it’s incredible and very enriching. The online Ashtanga classes are also very rewarding, and personally, I followed them day by day, and my body transformed. Overall, it has been an amazing experience that I recommend to every yogi, yogini : ) I will soon take another one of their courses. Thank you very much to the entire team. Nere.

October 8, 2020 at 12:00 amI absolutely loved the 200 hours online yoga teacher training course I just finished! It was truly transformational. I’ve been practicing yoga and meditation for years, but this course opened my eyes to so many new things. Now, I have a much deeper understanding of yoga as a holistic practice that goes beyond just the physical aspect. Every day, I can see myself growing and improving, not only in my knowledge but also in my abilities. The teaching was top-notch, and the instructors and course organizers were incredibly patient with all our questions on Whatsapp. They always responded promptly!
The amount of material provided was fantastic. I still have a lot of videos to watch and e-books to read, which I’m really excited about. This experience has also had a positive impact on my lifestyle and well-being. I’m finding myself less interested in indulging in pizza and more motivated to get up early and start my day on the yoga mat! I know that this experience will stay with me for the rest of my life, and I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned as a yoga teacher. I’m already looking forward to taking my next course with Living Yoga School one day.
Just a quick note – since this course was online, there wasn’t an option to rate the food and accommodation. But even without that, the course still provided valuable insights on how to eat and live a healthier daily life, so I still gave it an “Excellent” rating!

October 7, 2020 at 12:00 amI haven’t found anything disappointing about this course. It’s exceeded all of my expectations. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to take the 200-hour YTT self-paced course from Rishikesh online. They’ve organized the course incredibly well, making it systematic and scientific while covering every aspect of yoga. The teachers are knowledgeable, motivating, and available for help whenever I need it. The videos they provide are of such high quality. I’ve learned so much about subjects that used to be difficult to understand and implement in my practice and daily life, like pranayama, meditation, mudras, bandhas, and mantra. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn more about yoga and deepen their understanding of its origins and purpose in human life.

I made an effort to attend as many live classes as possible, which helped me connect with the teachers and fellow students.

September 30, 2020 at 12:00 amSometimes, the live recordings don’t have great quality, making them hard to understand. But I decided to take my Yoga teachers course online due to the whole corona madness. I was skeptical at first, but I quickly realized that I can learn a lot through this online course. Unfortunately, I couldn’t join any of the live classes because of work, so I’m doing the course at my own pace. However, I have to say that all the materials provided are enough to make me feel prepared to teach a yoga class. The videos are easy to understand and offer a wealth of knowledge. I’m truly happy with my decision to take this course, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who doubts taking an online YTTC. I’m looking forward to visiting the school in person. Namaste.

September 26, 2020 at 12:00 amThe team had a few issues beyond their control, like the weather and internet connection, that affected some of our classes. But they handled it all properly and everything went smoothly.
It would have been nice if they gave us a curriculum outlining the weekly progress and milestones, but other than that, everything was amazing. I’m really glad I chose this course for my 200-hour multi-style yoga teacher training! The concepts and practices I learned exceeded my expectations. I recommend this training to everyone, whether you’re a beginner or advanced student. The gurus and the team behind the scenes did an excellent job arranging such a holistic course. There’s so much more to learn beyond just the asanas and what we do in the studio. Don’t think you’ll only get 50 hours of live sessions and 200 hours total because you’ll get so much more from this course. Honestly, I wouldn’t even call it a “200-hour yoga teacher training,” it’s more like a complete guidance on living and leading a life of yoga based on Himalayan traditions and ancient Vedic philosophy.
The yoga philosophy classes were my favorite because they brought together all the wisdom and concepts from the other classes and videos. I’m so grateful to all the humble and wise gurus who helped us find our own light. The 200 hours and 25 days went by so quickly, but the real training begins the day we finish the program.
I also want to express my deepest gratitude to the team behind the scenes who took care of all our needs and concerns. Thank you for being patient and understanding! It’s amazing how the school arranges the online classes day by day. Everyone’s dedication is exceptional.
I really wish I could have been there in India to soak up all the wisdom. Hopefully, one day I’ll be able to train in person at Living Yoga School, Rishikesh!

Learning yoga online has been different, but it’s definitely effective if you stay focused and disciplined during the classes. Of course, it would be nice to be in Rishikesh, but with the Covid lockdown, this online course is the next best option.

July 10, 2020 at 12:00 amI just completed an incredible Online Yoga Teacher Training Course, and let me tell you, it was such a valuable experience! This course came at the perfect time when traveling wasn’t an option. Unfortunately, I can’t review the accommodation, food, facilities, or location, but I can only imagine they would have provided a warm welcome.
The learning process was amazing, albeit intense. It gave me a beautiful introduction to the deep and boundless ancient knowledge of yoga. The classes were well-structured and planned, all thanks to Ashu Ji and Surendra Ji. Guru Vishnu Ji shared his wisdom on yoga philosophy, meditation, and yoga nidra.
Most of the classes were held on zoom, making it easy to connect with the teachers and my fellow students. There were also pre-recorded videos for self-study. Any questions I had were answered with care and deep insight. I have to commend the teachers, administrative team, and film crew for their dedication and amazing work.
They even provided reading materials and recorded footage of the classes, so I could go back and review anything I missed during my self-study time. The entire course was thoughtfully planned from start to finish.
Now, if you’re wondering whether you can do an Online Yoga Teacher Training Course, the answer is a resounding yes! I’m immensely grateful for this experience, and I know I’ll be applying what I learned throughout my life. I can’t recommend it enough.

March 16, 2020 at 12:00 amVishnu, the school leader, announced that they plan to relocate in the future. The interior of the main building is worn out, but the group, teachers, and staff have managed to make it feel like home.
Apart from that, the food was a bit repetitive. However, it still tasted good, and surprisingly, I didn’t miss having meat at all, as I had expected.
I found out that the food is actually cooked at another school and then transported here. It’s a shame they don’t prepare their own food on the premises, especially when there is a good kitchen available.
Occasionally, we would eat out, and luckily, there’s a great coffee shop just a few meters away. With those outings and the school food, I was quite satisfied.
The teachers at the school were truly exceptional. They were very knowledgeable and encouraged open discussions during class. I especially want to acknowledge Manshu, the yoga anatomy and therapy teacher. Even though his name didn’t appear in the review options, I must say he was excellent. His knowledge was extensive, and his teaching style was superb. He inspired me to pursue a qualification in yoga therapy at home. Thanks to all the teachers.
I also want to mention Manesha, who efficiently managed the day-to-day operations of the school. She was always kind, calm, and ready to help. Thank you, Manesha.
Lastly, I can’t recall the name of another staff member who works for the school. He kindly gave me rides on his scooter twice to help me get cash and was very helpful with everything. Thank you to him as well.
