Rishikesh Yogpeeth Recensioni 

Spending three weeks at Rishikesh Yogpeeth in the foothills of the Himalayas, completing my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate, has been one of the most profound and life-changing experiences of my life.

From the moment I arrived, I felt something special about the place. The ashram’s setting is breathtaking — the peace of the mountains, the sound of the birds, and the calm energy that seemed to wrap around the ashram. It’s a setting that naturally invites stillness and reflection, where you feel so close to nature. I loved sharing space with the monkeys, the birds, and the gentle donkeys who tirelessly carried supplies and luggage up and down the mountain. Their quiet presence added a simple magic to daily life — a reminder of living in harmony with nature.

The training itself was incredible, but it wasn’t always easy. The days were long and structured — early morning meditation and pranayama, followed by asana practice, anatomy, philosophy, and more classes until evening. There were moments when my body felt exhausted and my mind was challenged in ways I didn’t expect. But those were also the moments that brought the most growth. I learned to listen, to surrender, and to trust the process.

On days when my muscles felt sore and tired, I treated myself to a few Ayurvedic treatments, which were available between classes, and were truly heavenly — soothing, grounding, and the perfect complement to the intensity of the training. Those treatments helped me to unwind and reconnect with my body in a gentle, restorative way.

The teachers were absolutely inspiring — knowledgeable, patient, and deeply rooted in traditional yogic wisdom. They taught from the heart, blending discipline with compassion, and always encouraged us to go deeper, both physically and spiritually.

The ashram itself was peaceful and simple, exactly as it should be. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the gardens were serene, and the vegetarian meals were so tasteful and nourishing and cooked with such love. The staff were kind and attentive, always ready with a smile or a turmeric golden milk when needed most. It was sad to leave them at the end of my time in the ashram.

Once a week, we enjoyed a day out of the ashram, exploring nearby temples, local markets, and the vibrant spirit of Rishikesh. These outings were such a joy — a chance to soak up the culture, share laughter with new friends, and appreciate the beauty of the region.

Another thing that made this experience truly meaningful were the connections — with fellow students from all over the world who shared this intense, beautiful journey, and with myself. Somewhere between the sunrise, meditations and evening chants, I found a quiet strength and clarity I hadn’t known before.

It wasn’t a retreat or a holiday — it was a deep dive into yoga, discipline, and self-discovery. Tough at times, yes, but absolutely worth every moment. It was such a beautiful experience.

If you’re looking not just to learn yoga, but to live it, Rishikesh Yogpeeth is the perfect place to begin that journey.

I made my 200h YTT at Rishikesh Yogpeeth and it was just perfect!
The location is breathtaking, the program is very well rounded, food is amazing and the staff is very friendly and always willing to help. The whole place has a vibe that makes you feel at home.
Plus, they have an alumni program with monthly online meetings that include everything from cooking classes to philosophy talks to help you continue learning and expanding your knowledge.
It's a lifetime experience and I can't wait to go back.

I had the incredible opportunity to complete my 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Rishikesh Yogpeeth during July/August 2025, and it was truly one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

I spent 4 weeks there, and from the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported. The teachers were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. Their passion for yoga and dedication to sharing authentic teachings created such a beautiful learning environment.

The ashram itself was absolutely stunning — peacefully located at the top of the mountain with breathtaking views all around. Away from noise and distractions, it was the perfect setting to disconnect from the outside world and fully immerse myself in the deeper aspects of yoga and self-study.

The food and accommodation exceeded my expectations as well. The vegetarian meals were always fresh, healthy, and delicious, and the rooms were clean, comfortable, and very well maintained.

What made this experience even more special was the sense of community and connection. By the end of the training, it truly felt like family. Leaving the ashram was emotional for me — I left in tears, feeling as though I was leaving a part of my heart behind.

I will always be deeply grateful for my time at Rishikesh Yogpeeth and highly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic, transformative, and heart-opening yoga journey.

I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Rishikesh Yogpeeth, and it was truly one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Beyond learning yoga, philosophy, and teaching techniques, I experienced an incredible human journey filled with kindness, connection, and personal growth.

The teachers were passionate, supportive, and deeply inspiring. The atmosphere of the school made me feel welcomed, and I learned so much not only about yoga, but also about myself.

After my training, I came back for two and a half months to do volunteer work there, which says a lot about how special this place became to me. Once again, the experience was deeply enriching on a human level.

I am very grateful for everything this school has brought into my life and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, transformative, and heart-centered yoga experience in India.

Loved it, I will break it down to top things - 1) Location, there is no place like this..you have to visit and see its beauty and perfect for yoga, meditation and being cutoff from Rishikesh City bustle 2) Teachers - main thing is that the Teachers stay at the ashram so you see them living yoga everyday that is inspiring 3) Staff - you can see their struggles given the location of ashram but always smiling and always willing to help and finally 4) the food - its simple vegetarian and the whole process of starting with a mantra, it just fills your soul. I will surely be back and if you are able to take out the time to visit India - Highly recommended

He was the worst teacher I ever had. So many emotional and physical damaged he caused more than any teacher in my life. He stolen my students for his own benefits and also trying to destroy me image as a teacher for money.
He also have sexual friendship with his girl students. So many girls told me. He is not even a yoga practitioner. Know nothing about yoga. So opportunities

I did my 200 hours YTT at Yogpeeth Rishikesh in December 2023 and was disappointed with the management, food and housekeeping services.
1575 USD per 19 days is way too much for the low level of services that they are providing.
Miscommunication between students and office/teachers has happened constantly. Different employees provided different information about the schedule, the program, activities which caused confusion to the students. They didn't provide any activities for the Sunday day-offs as they've promised in the beginning of the course. The construction noises and dust in the air impeded the learning process. The food was poor and dishes were not healthy (e.g. french fries, potato chips, very little fresh vegetables). The rooms are old and we're stinky like the suage system was broken. The tanks of the heaters are small and are enough for 2-3 minutes of hot water shower.
As a student I had to sort out the housekeeping issues more than studying the course. And the Asana classes had only 1 teacher per 25 students which was not enough to assist with posture correction. The good thing about this place is few teachers that did their job with enthusiasm (Nitish, Omar, Shailesh)
Overall I wouldn't recommend this place as it has too many management and housekeeping issues.

I had one of the best times of my life at Rishikesh Yogpeeth! Not to mention, the Yoga Teacher Training program is exquisite and productive in every possible way. I can't stress enough about this wonderful yoga ashram surrounded by the beautiful nature and the warm and welcoming staff!

I have just finished the 200 hours and 300 hours yoga teaching training with Rishikesh Yogpeeth and the word that comes to my mind is gratitude. The 200 hours were extremely important as a preparation for the 300 hours. The teachers are very competent and give you the initial kick to go deep in your practice. The 300 hours in the mountains was the best experience of my life. A beautiful setting in the middle of the Himalayas green mountains, powerful and calming energy that allows you to go further in your inward journey and find whatever resources you need either to further your own practice or challenge yourself in the teaching. I highly recommend for experienced or not much experienced sincere practitioners and instructors. A lot of appreciation to all the school staff that took care of our needs with so much love and prepared us delicious ayurvedic food everyday also. Love. Erika

A month in my life where i witnessed a change in myself. Yoga through Rishikesh Yogpeeth was one experience i feel i will always cherish and build upon. i completed my 200 Hrs TTC here thanks to the continuous support from the teachers and the staff at Yogpeeth, who were always more than helpful towards making our stay and course wonderful.
The first few days feel out of the ordinary as one still has to adjust to this simple way of living. The asana practice in the first week built the foundation for strength for the upcoming weeks. Any contact with the teachers - be it Deepa, Neha, himanshu or Vijeth left me happy , smiling and ready for the next day.
Personally, in my group - everyone applauded their efforts , towards their food preparation, cleanliness, knowledge of teachers and guidance towards each meticulous detail. Even after completion of the course, the teachers have been very kind to help with queries at all times of day . It would never be enough to thank the complete team towards making the experience successful. I hope to visit back to complete the 500 Hrs TTC soon. Highly recommended for everyone.

that 1 month was amongst the best time of my life
loved and loved even more everything happened there. loved the way teachers taught every minute things

I've just completed my 200HR TTC at Rishikesh Yog Peeth. It was an amazing experience. The teachers are extremely knowledgable and very helpful. All the staff at Yog Peeth were very helpful and made my stay very comfortable. The course is very well-structured, with a focus on personal-development. The asana lessons in the morning and evening were the high-point for me since I was able to further my yoga practice and grow in flexibility in just one month. Also, the freshly cooked food was delicious. This experience wouldn't have been the same had it not been for the amazing people I met here, friends from all around the world, teachers, mentors. If you are thinking of taking a yoga training certification, this is the best place to do so!

There is something special about Rishikesh Yogpeeth which cannot be done justice to, in a single testimonial.

As a former 200 YTT student of Rishikesh Yogpeeth, I testify that it is one of the best yoga schools in India.
I searched many yoga schools before committing to Yogpeet, and never regretted my decision even for a moment.

The teachers are highly competent and dedicated, the content and structure of the course very professional, the surroundings breathtakingly beautiful and the food and stay lend greatly to a yogic lifestyle.

I was particularly impressed by the philosophy classes which were informative, thought-provoking and inspirational. The asana classes while being intensive, allow students to gain in strength and confidence in their practice.

I describe my experience at Rishikesh Yogpeeth as extraordinary and transformative and highly recommend it for aspiring yoga teachers as well as seekers.

Thank you Yogpeeth.

I had completed 500 hours TTC from Rishikesh Yogpeeth & I must say It was one of the best decisions of my life so far. Teachers were amazing & have always been there to help.This place was beyond my expectations.I would highly recommend it to someone who wants to know more about yoga and be a yoga teacher.

I attended my 200 hours and 300 hours YTTC at Rishikesh Yog Peeth, It was a life changing experience to me, all the Yoga teachers were well experienced, helping, phenomenal and the courses we learned ranged from asanas to pranayama to yogic philosophy and anatomy. The days were busy but well planned.
I will highly recommend this Yoga School to everyone who are looking for YTTC in India,
Thanks!

one of the memorable experience of my life. words will be less to define my time there. The team that yogpeeth has is amazing,they so readily do everything that everyone asks for, without loosing the smile through out the day.
the rooms are nice and clean,good enough to stay there for a month.
and food was seasonal and local. Honestly i was not there for all that,that i have mentioned so far.
so all this was extra bonus of my experience.
I was there to study. which is the next thing i can't stop myself to talk about.
THE TEACHERS at yogpeeth are perfectly aware of what they do.
every single class is planned so well and has a purpose and the background set for next class.
they are so much ready to share the knowledge that they have inside or outside of the class.
i remember one thing said by one of the teacher, if the you are ready everything is a teacher.
so in the nutshell if you are curios to learn i highly recommend Rishikesh yogpeeth.

WOW experience !!! I am delighted and pleased to complete 200 hours Teachers training course from Rishikesh Yog Peeth. Yoga is connection between our body, mind and soul. I learned many things from here which changed my life completely. Mainly the people over there was very encouraging and cheerful. I enjoyed so much the lessons from great Guru's. I am surprised and impressed with the improvements in myself in such a short time. It all happened because of all knowledgeable and experienced teachers. Furthermore, classes were scheduled very effectively and efficiently with full utilisation of time. Everyone was very helpful & approachable from the management to the staff and ambience also well maintained giving the positive vibrations like homely environment with mouth watering food. Overall it was a WOW experience to me and i would greatly recommend to everyone. Thanks to RYP for such an everlasting experience. 😊😊

The 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training Course at Rishikesh Yog Peeth (Summer 2016) experience was life-transforming. It was rigorous, yet rewarding. There are not many places you can go for a long period of time and learn about the nature of the self, the Universe, and one’s place in the Universe. As a yoga teacher, I have gained a deeper knowledge of asana, pranayama, kriya, Astanga and philosophy, as well as a more profound understanding of self; and ways to guide my clients deeper into their practice and self-awakening. Rishikesh Yog Peeth is superior — from the depth of knowledge of their teaching staff, to the professionalism and courtesy of their management team. I love the school and the curriculum … I definitely recommend my friends and family to attend their school.
