What a great experience!

My experience at Nirvana Yoga School has been beyond what I ever expected. This place felt more like a family than just a school. Guru Dhruvji, in particular, paid special attention to our comfort, making sure every student had a calming environment both in the classroom and in our rooms. The music and speakers provided to each student were a wonderful touch that helped maintain a serene atmosphere. The food was prepared with utmost care, ensuring it was sattvic and made with cold-pressed sunflower oil, which made the experience feel holistic. Guru Dhruvji’s approach wasn’t just about training; he was approachable and helped us in many aspects of our lives, offering counselling and support to help us sort out personal issues. I also have to mention the special snacks he provided in the philosophy class, ensuring I didn’t miss his teachings while keeping us nourished. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, well-experienced, and truly dedicated to their students' growth. A special thank you to the admin team (Sachinji, Udayji, and Sanjuji) for their prompt responses and support in helping me enrol. The extra activities, like yoga by the Ganga river, Sunday excursions, sound healing, Sadhana, kirtan (every saturday) and acro yoga, were a cherry on top of the whole experience. I am grateful for the incredible teachers I had the privilege of learning from—Guru Dhruvji, Meghna Mam, Akshay Sir, Jeet Sir, Amit Sir, Hareshji, Prasantji and Aishwarya Mam. This is now my extended family, and I look forward to seeing them again. What a great experience!

Merci merci et encore merci pour ce 200TTC 🌟🌟

Je souhaite prendre le temps de détailler complément mon avis sur Nirvana Yoga school. Première car ils méritent entièrement l’éloge qui va suivre et également pour aider le plus de personnes dans leur choix d’école. Encadrement des cours: Je commence avec ce sujet car c’est a mes yeux le plus important: les professeurs sont-ils pertinents et de qualités ? Sans hésitation oui. Ils sont également à l’écoute et enseignent le yoga traditionnellement. Les cours sont diversifiés et traitent les sujets en profondeur. Guruiji qui s’occupent de la philosophie est une personne que je vous souhaite de rencontrer. Il a son propre style et nous régale de surprise. Ashwarya en Hatha et Anatomie est pleine de savoir. Nous avons pu travailler sérieusement chaque asana avec des séances construites et travaillées. C’était des cours réellement inspirants. De part sa formation en anatomie, Ashwarya est très qualifiée pour nous transmettre les enseignements essentiels du corps humain pour éviter les blessures ou pour les traiter si elles sont déjà présentes. Dr Akshesh en méditation, pranayama et mantra est un trésor. Passionné par les Vedas, il nous a partagé son savoir avec des cours théoriques et pratiques passionnants. L’entendre chanter c’est voyager. Amit en Alignement est une personne avec énormément de compétences dans son domaine. On a pu apprendre 1 asana par cours de manière très très détaillés. Utile pour notre pratique personnelle mais également pour accompagner nos prochains étudiants en les ajustant. Ce cours m’a été particulièrement bénéfique pour m’auto corriger. Meeghna nous a enseigné le yoga Nidra. Chaque séance nous pratiquons et nous avons ensuite 1 cours théorique puis nous nous entraînons les uns sur les autres. Avoir cette heure de nidra dans la journée était une bénédiction : une relaxation et un repos efficace. Merci pour nous avoir partagé ton savoir avec une telle bienveillance. Management:: Merci à Sachin et Haresh pour votre écoute à chaque instant, pour votre efficacité dans les requêtes du groupe et pour votre bonne humeur. Avant mon arrivée toutes mes questions ont eues des réponses claires par mail ou whatapps. C’était vraiment agréable et sans stress. Merci a Uday et à la personne a l’accueil 🙏 Logement:: Les yoga shala sont lumineux et grands. Ils ont tout le matériel nécessaire à la pratique d’asana. Les chambres sont propres, neuves et lumineuses. Rien à redire. Les draps et serviettes sont changés toutes les semaines et un personnel de service vient laver si nécessaire. Le bâtiment est un peu à la fin de tapovan : pas de voiture et plutôt silencieux. Un luxe en inde. Nourriture:: Un délice. Pas forcément satvik tous les jours mais dans la plupart des cas. Des légumes à chaque repas. Des fruits en abondance le matin. Pour moi c’était essentiel que ça soit « healthy and tasty » réussi ! Ps :: à chaque anniversaire ils ont été les best a organisé des gâteaux surprises 🥰 Je pense que je vous ai partagé ma satisfaction sans fin pour cette école. J’en suis trop trop contente. J’hésiterai pas a revenir pour mon 300h l’année prochaine. J’ai rencontré des personnes qui resteront des amis c’est certains. Namaste 🙏🫶🏼

Once-in-a-lifetime Experience

I feel incredibly fortunate to have completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Nirvana Yoga School. From the start, the professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support of the teachers truly stood out. Each instructor brought a deep understanding of yoga, not only in theory but also in practice, and their guidance was invaluable throughout the course. The management team was equally impressive, always attentive and ensuring that every aspect of the training met our needs. While the course itself was rigorous and comprehensive, the school also offered a well-rounded experience with various activities and excursions, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Rishikesh. I am deeply grateful for these opportunities, as they provided a perfect balance to the intense training schedule and gave us the chance to explore the area’s natural beauty and culture. The school’s location was another highlight – situated in a lively area with trendy cafes and shops, yet still serene and peaceful, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. It was the ideal setting to deepen our practice and connect with nature. This experience has truly been life-changing, and I’ve made lasting friendships with incredible people from all over the world. I highly recommend Nirvana Yoga School to anyone seeking high-quality training and a transformative yoga journey. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll cherish forever.

ncredible & Life Changing Experience

Nirvana Yoga School was an incredible experience for me, more than I ever imagined it would be. I spent a month in the 200 kundalini TTC focusing on yoga Nidra (and also Hatha, Philosophy and more). It was my first time both in India and in a structured yoga space, and I had specifically wanted a program that was traditional (not simply set up to attract tourists but really dug into the core traditions of Yoga), one that was open and understanding of my own background and views, and a place that could be home for a month! Home it was! We were one big family. We felt like home with Sachin (co-founder), our Guru and all the teaching staff. Nothing was too personal for them to address, and it became for everyone (both during and after) not just a group program but a space for each of us to thrive and to be supported as individuals too. My cohort was another family I did not expect. It was a group that mirrored so much the values of the school as a whole. I became vegetarian for the first time in my life and it felt like the easiest thing to do (because the food was fantastic!) And then Rishikesh itself and the location of the school — nothing felt better than seeing the sunrise during Hatha yoga. Sometimes, we spent mornings doing yoga on the beach, visiting temples, attending kirtan (which was new to me but now one of my favorite things to do). The level of devotion and love I saw from the entire team was outstanding and I have been so inspired on my own spiritual journey (beyond yoga). After the course, many of us stayed in Rishikesh for longer — it was really hard to leave the school.

Nothing short of life-changing

Joining Nirvana Yoga School has been nothing short of life-changing. The 500-hour teacher training pushed me out of my comfort zone while helping me connect deeper with myself physically, mentally, and spiritually. The teachers were super supportive, blending traditional yoga practices with real-world insights that made everything relatable. From asanas to meditation, every moment felt meaningful, and being in the peaceful vibe of Rishikesh just made it even more special.

Eine authentische Kundalini-Yoga-Erfahrung

Im April 2025 war ich hier für das 200h Kundalini TTC. Mir war es wichtig, Yoga nach 12 Jahren Praxis mal "Grund" auf kennen zu lernen, an einem Ort, wo Yoga seit Jahrhunderten gelebt wird. Gerade bei Kundalini gibt es ja derzeit so viele Angebote, die sehr verschieden sind. Was ist nun "original" und was sind eigene Interpretationen? Bereits während dem Training und auch rückblickend bin ich sehr froh, diese Wahl getroffen zu haben. Eine Schule, die sich mit Herz für das Weitergeben des Wissens einsetzt. Lehrer:innen, die mit Elan und hoher Professionalität Erfahrungen weitergeben. Räume, in denen du dich wohlfühlst. Essen, dass auch nach 3 Wochen noch immer lecker ist. Und ein traditionelles Kundalini-Yoga, das den Stamm und die Lineage aufzeigt. Es war herausfordernd, horizontöffnend, Seelen-nährend. Danke dem ganzen Team für euer Herz und weiter so!
