Pushkar Meditation Temple Yoga School - Meditation center in Pushkar - Ajmer, India

Swamiji invited me to come to India ahead of my tantra course as an assistant for the raja yoga course, and I'm am so glad I took the opportunity. I have been at the Himalayas location at Swamiji's ancestral home for almost 5 weeks so far, and It is a beautiful peaceful place for a yoga course. This an authentic experience for sure!! This experience has transformed my life, I got to a certain point spiritually and realized I needed a teacher/guide, and I thank the universe everyday for leading me to Swamiji. I 100 percent recommend this course to anyone stepping onto their spiritual path. You will start learning who you are and start the journey towards self realization. You will come as body and leave as soul! Swamiji is an amazing soul full of positive energy and light!

Pushkar Meditation Temple is a great place in Pushkar for yoga and meditation. I did a Yoga Teaching Training 200hrs and recommend it not only for those who really want to go deep into the real (Raja) yoga and do the same training, but also for those who have shorter time in Pushkar and can come for a Raja Yoga class in the mornings where Swamiji shares his wisdom, experience and good vibes. Regarding the YTT200 course, I totally recommend it even for those who are highly experienced in yoga, as you can go deep in the original yoga by Patanjali and it can be quite revealing and life changing. Definitely breaks the common paradigms of yoga. Focused much more in the spiritual legacy of yoga, and comprising also of Kundalini, Japa, Hatha, Meditation walks, Mudras and Mantras, this course opened my mind and heart to something much deeper and valuable than just asanas, pranayamas and/or physical wellness. The schedule is well prepared and balanced to experience the 8 aspects of Raja/Ashtanga Yoga, and Swamiji helped me with his experience and vision.

Amazing experience. I met Swamiji 7 years back in pushkar , as I was looking for a yoga teacher... I went to meet him for a chat before dropping to the class , and inmediately I felt this was not just a common yoga teacher. I found a real Yogui. His light and bliss marbled me. So I assisted for a long period of time to his classes and learnt the real Yoguic Path with him... During that period the relationship became a friendship, respectful and solemn. This year , after not meeting Swamiji for 7 years , we met again in his pushkar meditation temple, after a Few classes, he invited me to do they RYTT200HR in the Himalayas. That was not in My plans for the trip to India and certainly I was not expecting to change My plans , My flight back to spain , etc . But I did ... And I AM SO happy of having done it. I feel now how in the 21 days of training My habits changed so much, my physical feeling change for better , My breath changed, My mind changed, I learnt so much! And the most importante thing , I couldnt have chosen a better yoga teacher . And that is something I am absolutly sure. Swamiji shares with his students all he knows with joy, love, knowledge and commitment. Thank You Swamiji for this gift.

While travelling through Asia for more than 6 months, my wife and I decided to go to India and enlist ourselves for a Yoga Teacher Training course. At the time of our decision we were in Vietnam and here we started our online research. After more than 4 days browsing the web we got a good overview of all the different courses in India. And from the first day, one course immediately draw our attention: Pushkar Meditation Temple Yoga Teacher Training. As our feeling didn't change, we decided to e-mail Swamiji, the Guru, and ask if there was availability in the near future. Luckily we could join the next month and so our inner journey took off. If you're looking for Yoga in its purest way, with lots of attention for the soul & spirit, want to learn about who you really are and want to learn about the spiritual practice called Yoga, in an intimate and peacefull environment, than I Would recommend this course for 100%. In 21 days Swamiji took me on a journey that I will never forget. To be honest I hadn't done a lot of Yoga before I came. But the spiritual angle of the course, with the emphasize on meditation made me decide to join. Although I was a bit scared in the beginning, I couldn't wait to start. In 3 weeks you'll be trained to become a Raja Yoga teacher. At first I didn't know this Yoga path, as it isn't that known in Europe. But within the first couple of days it became clear and the way I see it there are 4 different parts during a Raja Yoga class. 1. Intro & meditation 2. Asana's 3. Savasana 4. Pranayama & closing. And they are all equally important! The program was pretty hectic and asks for a lot of dedication. But it was all worth it and I learned so much more than I could have imagine. It still feels a little bit weird to say 'I'm a Raja Yoga teacher' now, but I am! And I can't wait to teach and share this back home and spread the Raja Yoga practice. Things I will never forget are the warm & caring way Swamiji takes care of you, morning meditation walks, the ancient Yoga tales (which Swamiji really loves to share), the eating rituals, the roaring lion and the laughing hyena (you'll find out) and our yoga practicum we did in an India Primary school. Thank you Swamiji.

Through Swamiji's Yoga Teacher Training course I discovered everything I have been seeking my whole life. This course is not just about becoming a Yoga teacher. It is about finding the answers to every question you have ever asked yourself, connecting with your soul, realizing your True Self, where you come from, and how to stay on your own spiritual path and continue to grow for the rest of your life. From this growth comes the confidence and the knowledge to share Yoga in whatever way is best for you. Before this course, I was so nervous to teach or share yoga, but now I feel authentic, sharing from my soul and not just memorizing poses and dialogue. This course is for anyone who is serious about Yoga and ready to change their lives for the better. Swamiji is the real deal, and anyone who is able to spend time with him, whether as a student of YTT 200 or in one of his classes/workshops, is so lucky that the universe brought them together for that experience. He has an insight into each person, as well as life in general, that can only come from someone who is truly enlightened/connected to source. Tara, Swamiji's assistant during our course in the Himalayas, was also incredible, embodying a true yogi and demonstrating grace and skill as a teacher that I can only hope to achieve in my own practice. Initially I thought this would be my only trip to India, but after such a life-altering experience in this course, I hope to return to India soon and visit Swamiji at Pushkar Meditation Temple to study/meditate/grow more on my spiritual path. If you get a chance to attend this course, a workshop with Swamiji, or visit the Temple, do not hesitate. It will be the best decision you can make for yourself as a yogi/human/soul. :)

5 stars are not enough to express how much I recommend Swamiji's sharing. Wether it is for a walk-in class or a teacher/sharer training course, you will go out of it knowing yourself better and as a more happy and free person! Just don't think too much. Register and try it for yourself. You will be able to feel, experience and realize what the real purpose of Yoga is. I feel so grateful to have found Swamiji and wish you all the best while embarking on this spiritual life journey!

Go for this yoga teacher training if you'd like a spiritual journey. You'll leave as a spiritual person, as a SOUL for sure :-) This course will teach you the Raja Yoga style which is also known as the classical 'Patanjali' Ashtanga Yoga style. You should definitely come here if you'd like to learn yoga as a spiritual discipline. You will be handed over quite some tools. You can expect a lot of meditation, silence, going within, pranayamas, satsang, early meditation walks and asanas. Don't expect a focus on asanas like it is most of the time in the West. But I guess this is exactly the reason why you should come here: you'll get a great oppurtunity to integrate yoga in your daily life as a spiritual discipline. On top of this, Swamiji takes good care of you. He really makes sure you have everything you need. It felt like we were his only 'once in a lifetime' students, which we were obviously not, because he's having a batch every month :-D Further more, the food is awesome, the (private) rooms were clean and overall I found the atmosphere in the Meditation Temple nice and peaceful.

My experience at Pushkar Meditation Temple was life changing. Swamiji truly embodies the principals of yoga, leading by example in the way he lives his life. He is passionate about sharing Raja Yoga and is always encouraging questions and discussions that help his students get deeper into their own understanding of the practise and their own spiritual path. The program schedule is well balanced and has a natural flow with a break scheduled in the afternoon to recharge and study/integrate. The vegetarian satvik food was delicious and there was always more than enough food at each meal. The temple accommodations were clean and orderly. It took me a few nights to get used to the harder bed but once I adjusted I was well rested. This was a truly immersive experience, I loved the morning mediation walks around the Holy lake and the in-depth theory sessions in which Swamiji would attend to every question. Our Raja practise was about 25% asana, which left a lot of a room for savasana, pranayama and AUMs, something I was not used to practising in Canada but I found deeply nourishing. I was given the knowledge to find this nourishment and healing wherever I go and I can now share this in my own classes. For Westerners, I think this would pair well with an anatomy class if you are seeking an understanding of the physical body as well. Raja is also very therapeutic and would suit anyone interested in pursuing yoga therapy. I would encourage anyone who is serious about yoga to study with Swamiji, it is a true gift, whether you are looking to teach or to deepen your own practise.
