Jenna Smith2025-02-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wish for everyone to have the opportunity to experience YTT at Gyan Yog Breath. This course was so beautiful and transformative from the first to the last day. I left the ashram with so much knowledge, and love in my heart. All the staff involved at the school are there to help you succeed and become the best version of yourself- and that is exactly how I felt when I flew home. Highly recommend anyone who is thinking about doing their teacher training to do it with this school. 💜 this school is also perfectly positioned where you will see a beautiful sunset and sunrise everyday! The excursions on your day off are so much fun, food at the ashram is just delicious, everything is clean, comfortable beds, If you like to swim you have the ganges across the road… I will be forever thankful for my time here 💖 Michael Jenks2025-02-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A beautiful experience. Thank you for all your love and help. Jennifer Marana2025-01-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at Gyan Yog Breath was magical, unforgettable, and life-changing. The teachers and staff were incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I learned so much from each one of them. I enjoyed meeting and bonding with fellow yogis from around the world. The environment was not competitive. We looked out for each other, cared for each other, and helped one another grow and learn. The facility was clean, overall quiet (except for the fireworks in celebration of Diwali and some construction nearby), and easy to navigate. The food was fresh, delicious, and vegetarian/vegan friendly. Rishikesh itself is beautiful and scenic. Gyan Yog Breath is actually not located amidst the noisier part of town which was a plus for me. While I began at Gyan Yog Breath knowing that I enjoyed yoga, I left having fallen in love with the practice and motivated to teach as soon as I returned home. The instructors' teaching styles, amazing people (teachers, staff, classmates), and the beautiful environment (rooms, location, vibe, and more) overall contributed to the magical experience. Also, I went during the month of November when the weather was perfect for me - not too hot and not too cold. I have already and will continue to recommend Gyan Yog Breath to anyone ready to embark on their yoga teacher training journey. Monika Mura2024-12-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The teachers were incredibly supportive and knowledgeable during this journey and I learned more from them than I could express or even grasp at this moment. I would highly recommend this teacher training to anyone interested in deepening their yoga and meditation practice or want to learn how to teach others. The location of the school is perfect, near the Ganga river and surrounded by nice little cafes, mountains and shops where you can buy everything you might need for your stay. I had a spacious room with balcony from which I could not only see the river, but also the most stunning sunsets. I will forever be grateful to Vipin who opened my eyes in his magical meditations to other levels of consciousness and perceptions and will always be an inspiration as a teacher. I am sure I will come back soon to this very special place! Elishia Perosa2024-10-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After searching for an authentic online yoga teacher training experience, and one that incorporated Ayurvedic teachings as well, I came across and fell in love with Gyan Yog Breath! Their team gets back to you immediately, they completely work around and adapt to your schedule, their knowledge is extensive and comes straight from ancient wisdom, and above all, their education is traditional and true. There’s no commercialism, no going with trends, no trying to satisfy the quick turnover and impatient modern society. I am grateful to the community of Gyan Yog Breath for their dedication and abundant love through their teachings and wanting to help make our world a better place!
