My name is Patricia, and I come from Portugal. I recently completed the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) at Gyan Yog Breath in Rishikesh, India, and I can honestly say that this experience has been one of the most transformative journeys of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of peace and belonging. If you are looking for a place to disconnect from the stress of daily life and reconnect with yourself, this is the perfect place to be.
The Ideal Environment for Growth
One of the things I loved most about Gyan Yog Breath is its peaceful location. The school is nestled near the Ganges River, surrounded by the beautiful nature of the Himalayan foothills. Waking up every morning to the sound of birds and the fresh mountain air was something I had never experienced before. It created the perfect environment to truly immerse myself in yoga, free from distractions.
A Well-Structured and Holistic Curriculum
The 200 hour YTT at Gyan Yog Breath is well-balanced between theory and practice, giving you all the knowledge you need to become a confident and skilled yoga teacher. The classes covered a variety of topics, including asana practice, pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, anatomy, philosophy, and Ayurveda.
One of the things that stood out to me was the emphasis on Ayurveda and holistic health. We learned how to integrate Ayurvedic principles into our daily lives to improve well-being. I also had the chance to experience Emotional Blockage Treatment, which was an incredible tool for releasing old emotions and tension stored in the body. This aspect of the training was something I had never encountered before, and it helped me feel lighter and more in tune with myself.
Supportive and Inspiring Teachers
The teachers at Gyan Yog Breath are truly passionate, knowledgeable, and supportive. Each instructor brought a unique perspective, making every class insightful and engaging. They encouraged us to push our limits while respecting our bodies and individual needs. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone with previous yoga experience, they guide you at your own pace. I always felt motivated, safe, and inspired by their wisdom.
The Community and Delicious Food
Another highlight of my time at Gyan Yog Breath was the sense of community. I met incredible people from all over the world, each on their own journey but sharing the same passion for yoga. We supported each other, learned together, and built friendships that I know will last a lifetime.
The food was absolutely amazing! Every day, we enjoyed healthy, freshly prepared vegetarian meals made with love. The food was not only nourishing but also delicious, and I could feel a difference in my energy levels and overall well-being.
Completing the 200 hour Yoga teacher training at Gyan Yog Breath has been one of the best decisions of my life. The course helped me gain strength, clarity, and confidence while deepening my understanding of yoga beyond just physical postures. Whether you want to become a yoga teacher or simply deepen your practice, this school provides everything you need.
If you are thinking about joining a Yoga Teacher Training India, don’t hesitate. Rishikesh is a magical place, and Gyan Yog Breath is the perfect school to embark on this journey. I am forever grateful for this experience, and I look forward to returning for the 300 hour yoga teacher training in the future!
