Mimamsa Yogshala Recensioni 

I couldn’t recommend Mimamsa Yogshala more! I did the 200hr ytt in September and it was the best decision. The school is located in a peaceful location with a great community and variety of shops and coffee spots (Aum cafe, Satvik, Cake corner), there was always a good place to go and study, and somehow make new friends everytime! Manoj and Ramita run the school with so much love, every single staff member was just amazing, it felt like being with family. The food is delicious and the menu changes a lot. We did a lot of extra events outside of lessons, Kirtan, Cooking class, sound healing, Ganga aarti: all beautiful and amazing!! Regarding the course, the teachers treat everyone as individuals so we all felt confident by the end at our own levels, which I think was so great! I was sick during the month, and being away from home can feel scary, but the school were so kind and went out of their way to accommodate me. Even with that, it was still one of the best months of my life, I’m so grateful to have ended up at Mimamsa, I have recommended this place to everyone I’ve met since, and would love to return one day. Thankyou

Completing my 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training course was an incredibly rewarding journey that exceeded my expectations in the ways that matter most. If you are looking for a genuine, deep-dive yoga experience, this program is truly wonderful.

The Strengths:

World-Class Teachers: The greatest asset of this training is the instruction. Every teacher dedicated to their respective subject was outstanding, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about passing on traditional yoga wisdom.
Attentive & Supportive Staff: The staff on-site were always kind, approachable, and truly cared about student well-being throughout the course.
Pure Sattvic Meals: The kitchen provides fresh, clean Sattvic food prepared with care, which really supports your body during daily practice.

Things to Keep in Mind (What to Expect):

Rustic Facilities & Adaptation: Accommodation is basic and traditional. Be prepared for simple room conditions and a period of physical adjustment (digestive issues from local water/food are common among students, so bring appropriate remedies/probiotics).
A Challenging Curriculum: This is an intense, demanding program, not a relaxing vacation. It requires stamina and dedication, though the administration is supportive if health issues arise.
Protein Considerations: The Sattvic menu is clean but can be repetitive and low in protein. Bringing your own supplements or buying extra protein-rich items at nearby shops is highly recommended.

Overall, if you enter with an open mind, standard expectations about rustic living, and a readiness to work hard, this 200-hour TTC will be a life-changing experience. I am deeply grateful for my time here!

I attended Mimamsa Yogshala in Rishikesh twice — first for a 200-hour training in 2024 and later for a 300-hour course in 2026.

My first experience was mostly positive academically, which is why I chose to return. However, during my second stay I experienced serious concerns regarding professionalism, educational quality, management conduct, and student treatment.

The school had significantly increased prices since my first visit, but the overall standards appeared to decline. Many experienced teachers were gone and replaced by newer instructors who often read directly from manuals, arrived late to class, or failed to maintain professional classroom environments. Some students skipped most classes entirely while still remaining enrolled in certification programs.

The school also advertised strict rules regarding silence, discipline, and respectful conduct, but these rules were inconsistently enforced. Repeated classroom disruptions, interpersonal conflicts, and harassment between students were often ignored by management despite concerns being raised multiple times.

Accommodation conditions also included unresolved sanitation and maintenance issues that were reported but never addressed.

The most concerning part of my experience occurred after I respectfully raised concerns about harassment, classroom disruptions, and the overall learning environment. Instead of addressing the concerns professionally, management informed me that my presence made them uncomfortable and expelled me from the program immediately without written explanation or identification of any rule violation.

Afterward I formally requested:

* clarification regarding my removal,
* a copy of the agreement or rules I allegedly violated,
* and a partial refund for the unused portion of the course.

These requests were refused.

As an international student who invested significant money and travel into the training, I found the lack of transparency, professionalism, and accountability extremely disappointing.

I am sharing this review so prospective students can make an informed decision before committing to long-term teacher training programs here.

Unfortunately I was unable to attend the course and I tried to ask for a refund of the value paid and they didn’t allow it.

After weeks of deciding which yoga school to choose- I knew where I picked would be the right place. From the first day I felt Mimamsa Yogshala was the correct choice. The staff is wonderful and unbelievably kind. From the manager, teachers, and chefs- everyone is smiling, genuinely happy, and always striving to make you feel at home.
The daily schedule was well done. Starting at 5:30 till about 7- with adequate breakfast and lunch breaks.
The teachers were all exceptional. As they were more than just teachers - but practitioners themselves. True devotion to their studies and a lifestyle of yoga.
I leaned more than I could have ever expected, far more than just physical strength. Mimamsa fosters an environment for you to gain both mental and physically flexibility. With the variety of classes- kundalini, Ayurveda, alignment, anatomy, Philosophy, Hatha, Astanga Vinyassa, and meditation- I felt gained an in-site and appreciation for even more of yoga than I previously had known.
The food was wonderful. Always prepared with love.
The accommodations were just right. Less is more- with a pillow, blanket, personal bathroom, and laundry- I had everything I needed.
On top of our classes the school prepared extra experiences for us. Such as a group outing to near by temple, reiki, sounds healing, and a cooking class. So much fun to be had at Mimamsa.
The location is perfect as well. Near to everything you could need. The perfect cafe to study at a minute away. Rishikesh is wonderful - the people are very kind.
I’d recommend Mimamsa to anyone willing to work hard and open to working on themselves on a spiritual level.
Thank you Mimamsa :)

The school has a great selection of teachers, each one has deep knowledge in their subject and is happy to share the best of what they have. The school cares about its students, the staff is very responsible. The location of the school is ideal. The food is very tasty and they always take into account if there are any allergies. They created such a friendly atmosphere during the course.

I had a wonderful experience at Mimamsa Yogshala.
Manoj is an awesome teacher and owner of the school, he has a great knowledge and hight preparation.
All the staff/teachers makes me feel at home, in a safety place, they take care of everybody in the school.
I really appreciate the possibility of choosing to start the course the first of the month or the 15th, indeed I started on 15th May due to work. As my first 200 hr YTTC I recommend Mimamsa Yogashala for the 360 degrees knowledge they forward, from theory to practice. I loved the additional classes they offer during the course like Reiki, Kundalini, Sound Healing and the outside activities as Mud therapy, visiting temples, Gange ceremonies, caves and others.
If you are facing for the first time to yoga world, if you already practice and you want to develop, in a plain view or of becoming a yoga teacher, I highly recommend this school.
Thank you very much for everything!

It was an amazing experience! With a Perfect environment for studying and be involved on the course. Great teachers!

My 200hr training at Mimamsa Yogshala in Rishikesh was truly amazing and memorable experience. The classes were structured well with knowledgeable teachers, and well organised weekly group
activities for cultural experience
and self-discovery.

Amazing stay, great instuctors and lovely people! I would defenetly go again and Rishikesh is a lovely place.

I did the 200YTT through Mimamsa. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and learnt so much. Each teacher was exceptionally knowledgeable and patient. The food was always delicious and the rooms comfortable. I met such amazing people during my time at the yogshala and I'm glad that out of all the yogshalas to choose from that I chose this one!

Everything is superb and well they did very well to us including kitchen members, office staff and photographer. I got lots of experience from there and I enjoyed a lot Thank you mimamsaYogshala team 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 hope see u again.

This 200-hours training yoga at Mimamsa Yogshala was amazing.
It was very intense and the quality of the courses was very high.
All the courses were really interesting and the teachers were very involved and highly professional.
Our 14-people group was also very nice and we shared so nice moments together and also some tears…
Aside the theoretical and practical courses, we had a lot of nice excursions such as the Kunjapuri‘s temple at sunrise or the holy waterfalls hiking, or the Cave& Ganga Aarti ceremonies… it was so beautiful… so emotional some times… thanks to all the Mimamsa crew for their support and the whole organisation that was perfect. A special thanks to Rohit and Manoj !
This one month has changed my view of life and performing yoga every day helps me a lot in my daily life…
I recommend completely Mimamsa Yogshala!

A great experience learning from wonderful teachers.

Life changing experience, great teachers and amazing group 🥹

You learn many things and super good price. Both owners are really nice and helpful. All the staff working is super kind too. Teachers are awesome and I totally recommend.

My 200h yoga teacher training with Mimamsa Yogshala was an incredibly positive experience.
This program allowed me to deepen my practice and gain a richer understanding of yoga.
The group was unique, and we benefited greatly from sharing our experiences.
The teachers were generous, sharing their knowledge and personal experiences, and always made time to help us understand deeper life lessons.
The support from the managing team was exceptional. Always available, ready to assist whenever needed, and they surprised us with special moments that enriched the experience.
This training was more than just a course—it was a transformative journey. The intense practice led to emotional cleansing, creating space for new insights.
Our group was enthusiastic and thirsty for knowledge, and the Mimamsa team tirelessly provided us with valuable information.
A heartfelt Thank You to Mimamsa for this life-changing experience!

I just completed my yoga TTC for 200hrs at mimamsa yogshala rishikesh. The experience here was just wonderful, every part of it may it be food, accommodation, staff , teachers and all the excursions which they have designed along with course is just beyond expectations.
1.Teachers at mimamsa yogshala are very well versed with their knowledge and they guide and help you at every point of journey. The course is designed in a way where you can get a gyst of everything which can help you start your yog journey. It is designed in such a way that even beginners can join this course. It consists of philosophy, anatomy, meditation, hatha, ashtanga vinayasa, pranayam, mantra chanting, kundalini, reiki , sound healing and much more..
2. Food was very simple yogic food which is necessary for the yog journey.
3. The energy and positivity you get here in Rishikesh near ganga Ma , you may not get in any part of the world. The energy which you build with your co-students , gurus and people of rishikesh is just out of this world.
When I talk about staffs , Manoj ji has some different energy, he has so much positivity within him that he can instantly change the surrounding energy, the way he understands all your requirements and also tries his best to fulfill them is just beyond appreciation.
Rohit ji has always been helpful for each and every student, anything you require,Rohit ji has it's answer.
Kitchen staff makes sure that you get food according to your choice and preferences.
Excursions which they arranged were also a good break and pause yet full of spirituality may it be visit to baba's cave, waterfalls , kunjapuri temple, ganga aarti.
I'm grateful that I got this opportunity to be around of this positive energy, and near ganga for this one month.
The energy which you share there makes you binded during the course and also beyond it for your entire life.
As Manoj ji said , once you visit rishikesh you will not feel like leaving this place, the energy pulls you back 🥹❤️✨

Mimamsa Yogshala and the people I met there really made this journey in India very special... Im so happy I chose that school from the overwhelmingly large choice we had for schools in rishikesh! Manoj the owner and management staff were really taking extra good care of our group, making sure everyone was alright and checkin on us when times were hard (the heat in may was unbearable sometimes). Activities were amazing, we went to a beautiful waterfall, see the sunrise at kunjapuri temple, and had an immersive intense meditation experience at moni baba cave that truly changed me. We also do beach yoga, mud therapy, kirtan, ganga arti and other fun stuff!
The school is now located near ram jhula bridge area (before was laxhman jhula) in a newly acquired building location, the Krishna cottage. Great area with a lot of shops around. But I must say I originally wanted to stay in laxhman jhula cause even more cute cafes and things to do there but they moved the school last minute and let us know a week in advance that it was moved in ram jhula. So at first was a little disappointed but in the end I liked being in a slightly less touristy crowded street on a daily and going to laxhman jhula for expeditions on free time. (20 min walk).

The accommodation was great! I booked a shared 3 beds room and ended up having a room with 3 beds all for myself for the whole stay. So was pretty happy about it. I was on 4th floor and it was not as noisy as people who were staying on ground floor who complained more about the noise at night (from outside). If you are looking for a very peaceful and quiet accommodation at night, this might not be it but I feel it's like that everywhere in rishikesh...(constant honking can be work for ears) BRING GOOD EARPLUGS and you'll sleep fine. no ac in the rooms just fan so if you come in the summer (may june) prepare to sweat at night.

The food was really good. And they made extra efforts to cook us something special and more western whenever we felt we were sick of Indian food. We also had a lot of bday in the group that month so lots of good cake. The only thing I would say is maybe they should put more hot water or a water kettle at disposal at all times in dining area. Cause I'm a big herbal tea person during the day and I was annoyed I could only find hot water during the meal time and sometimes not even and had to ask. I then found the hot water fountain from the Krishna cottage guest house right next door (which we have access through the garden, where we did ceremonies) and I kept using it.

Also I think the accommodation really is missing an outdoor space where we could hang, chill and study/ read outside! I always ended up on the roof but it was wayy too hot to stay there. We always had to go to cafes nearby. There is a small garden in the middle of the Krishna cottage but doesn't feel really appropriate for hanging there and studying cause there are no chairs / hammoc or anything to sit.

The teachers were all really great and I feel I learned so much from each and everyone of them and I'll cherish that knowledge forever. I just feel the philosophy class was a bit too snoozing at times maybe because of that time slot right after lunch break, but it's a passionating subject which should captivate and people were often taking naps during that class so maybe there is something to change here. Kundalini teacher and class was a favorite I wish we had more class (only 4-5) and Ayurveda too we had 4-5 class) but it was passionating.

I feel I really got a good overview of everything that is yoga with this course now with the rich variety of classes in it and I feel equipped to keep learning and dive deeper into one or two subject of my own choosing. I also do feel equipped to start teaching slowly (to family and friends and donation classes first) and that's what I wanted so I'm really happy with my training and this human growth journey.

Forever grateful for our wonderful group of 14 people that I met there. I made some lifelong friendships and hope to stay in touch around the world!!!
