Himalayan Yog Ashram Rishikesh - Yoga studio in Rishikesh - Tehri Garhwal, India

I just finished my 200 hr teacher training here. This was an incredible experience here in rishikesh. The ashram is a wonderful space and the teachers are absolutely incredible and dedicated to the right knowledge and challenge you to do your best and absorb as much as possible. IT is not a place for someone who is looking to coast through a training but it is a place if you are ready to show up and learn from masters. It felt way more than 200 hours and I could have stayed 2 more months. I recommend this for people who are looking to deepen their understanding of yoga, deepen their practice, and deepen and transform their lives into the fullest expression.

I just finished my 200h YTT at Himalayan Yog Ashram some days ago. I already miss the people, the routine, the deep dive and the focus on the practice and nothing else. Himalayan Yog Ashram felt like Home from the beginning. The whole team is amazing and everyone does their best to make you comfortable and happy. Shyam will organize anything you need - Ayurvedic massages, taxi rides and he is answering all other questions that you might have. The Ashram is a super clean space, from the bed rooms to the shared spaces - everything gets thoroughly cleaned everyday. The kitchen staff is wonderful - they make the most delicious food and chai! I loved the food and will seriously miss it! Also our teachers always tried their best and gave us so much ancient knowledge as it is possible in those 200h. Ram Ji shared Yoga Philosophy and Meditation with us and I learned a lot for my life from that. Teju teaches Hatha, Philosophy, Methodology, Anatomy and Ayurveda and has so much knowledge! I learned a lot and can use it definitely for my everyday life, not only on the yoga mat. Kapil teaches Pranayama and has the most wonderful voice. I loved the Mantra singing and breathing first thing in the morning. Sagar is the Ashtanga Yoga teacher and his classes are the best mix of challenging and funny. I learned a lot about alignment. What can I say - Sagar is like a feather when he is practicing yoga. This place is a wonderful choice if you want to really get to know the ancient tradition of yoga. I love that everyone here is so dedicated to really teach you the traditional path. Asana is a drop - Yoga is an ocean. I look so much forward to go on on this journey and thank you all at Himalayan Yog Ashram for guiding me during this important step on my spiritual path.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a yoga teacher training course (YTT) at the ashram in Tapovan, and I can confidently say that it is undoubtedly one of the best ashrams for yoga training in the area. The entire experience was exceptional, and I am thrilled to share my thoughts on it. The teachers and the curriculum at the ashram are top-notch. Each instructor possesses extensive knowledge and practical experience in their respective fields, making the learning process both enriching and enjoyable. The philosophy classes were particularly intriguing, as they not only deepened my interest in yoga but also dispelled some myths I had about it. Ram sir, who led some of the philosophy sessions, impressed us with his profound insights and his ability to focus on the essence of yoga. Teju sir, with his expertise in yoga and Ayurveda, brought a unique blend of knowledge to the table. Sagar sir's practical knowledge of Ashtanga yoga was invaluable, and I appreciated how he paid individual attention to each student, ensuring they practiced safely and effectively. Kapil sir's teachings on pranayama were delightful, and he patiently guided us in experiencing it correctly. The overall training and retreat plans offered at the ashram left me feeling truly delighted and rejuvenated. The yoga hall, which can accommodate about 15 students per batch, was spacious and well-equipped with top-quality props. The hall's picturesque view of the mountains added to the serene ambiance, making the yoga practice even more fulfilling. The ashram follows a disciplined schedule with a yogic diet, which I found beneficial for maintaining focus and balance throughout the day. We get ginger lemon tea at morning 8:30am, lunch at 10am, fruits at 1pm and dinner at 5pm. Food will be satvik. The timing and content of the meals were well thought out, and the staff ensured that the guidelines were adhered to strictly. Typical day is from morning 6am to 5pm. They close doors at 9 in the night. This approach also attracted like-minded individuals seeking an authentic yogic experience. The accommodation at the ashram was excellent. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and soundproof, allowing for a peaceful environment conducive to relaxation and meditation. The staff took meticulous care of the facilities, ensuring everything was well-maintained. They were also incredibly kind and helpful, making us feel at home during our stay. Make sure not to overburden them with personal requests as they won't deny to any of them. The building itself was thoughtfully constructed in a peaceful area of upper Tapovan, offering a perfect place to unwind and connect with nature. Moreover, its proximity to the main road made accessing the market convenient. Safety was a priority, and the building's design reflected this concern. In conclusion, my experience at this ashram was truly transformative. The exceptional teachers, top-notch facilities, delicious food, and serene environment all contributed to making it an unforgettable journey into the depths of yoga. If you're seeking a genuine and fulfilling yoga experience, I highly recommend this ashram in Tapovan.

I spent one week at the Ashram and had a wonderful, valuable and very inspiring time. The staff was super friendly and welcoming and the Ashram itself located in a quiet area in Upper Tapovan with a great view from the rooftop. The rooms were clean (with ac !) and the yoga hall spread a warm and positive atmosphere. I especially enjoyed the variety of classes - from Mantra chanting and Pranayama in the morning followed by a yoga class and Yoga philosophy to another Yoga class and Yoga Nidra in the afternoon. A perfect balance to not only practice Asanas but to dive deeper into yogic practices. All the teachers delivered great knowledge and wisdom with an open, friendly heart. I especially enjoyed our discussions in the yoga philosophy class and the soothing effect of each Yoga Nidra session. Warm and light meals are served twice a day and then there's also a break with fruit snacks. All in all, a beautiful, positive place to not only recharge but to get in touch with a holistic yogic way of living. I'd definitely come again.

Himalayan Yog Ashram is the real deal!! My partner and I kicked off a long backpacking trip with a week-long ashram stay here, and it gave us the spiritual tools we needed for the rest of our journey. A week gave us time to dabble in lots of different areas of yoga, from ayurveda to ashtanga to satsang with a genuine yogic master. The ashram was a bubble of peace, with clean and cozy rooms and a contemplative quietness in the marble halls. We had ample time for self-study in the library, and a break midday to enjoy the town of Rishikesh. We felt so healthy the entire time thanks to the delicious vegetarian ayurvedic meals. We learned so much in just a week, but next time, we want to stay for a whole month!

Coming out of my comfort and going to Rishikesh was one of the best experiences of my life, and is especially because of the wonderful care the Himalayan Yog ashram offered me. The warm welcome together with the staff's kindness allowed me to really feel at home during my 2 1/2 month stay. The pure energy that surrounded this special place reflected through the authentic and traditional teachings of hatha yoga, satsang, pranayama meditation, philosophy, and Ayurveda. Thanks to the Yogi Ram, Shyam, and Teju for creating a safe environment where people were able to openly and without judgement express themselves in order to optimize their self-development. As for the accommodation itself, the rooms are above Indian standards in terms of hygiene and comfort. A very safe place especially as a younger (19 year old) solo traveler. The food is made by three very talented cooks: very safe to eat and tastes incredible!! Location wise: an ideal place for some peace and quiet whilst being close to town. All in all, I highly recommend!

We have been there for detox yoga and it really impacted ur lifestyle. The ambience was good and so is food. Owner is very helpful and he take care of all your basic requirement. They serve us hot food even though we were late. Yoga and philosophy teachers have good command over subject Overall good experience!

I came here with my mother to get away from busy US life style, came back feeling rejuvenated and with new knowledge about Yoga, Ayurveda, and just Indian culture in general. The staff are lovely and always look for ways to accommodate you. The food is also very nice and it feels nourishing to your body. Highly recommend!
