Pyramid Yogshala - Yoga studio in Rishikesh - Pauri Garhwal, India

Can't imagine a better place to do your YTT. This place is a family-run yoga school. The teachers are very professional, experienced, funny and knowledgeable. Our group only had 9 people and we had so much contact time with the teachers. The food was home-made and healthy and delicious too. Wouldve been happy to have the same food for the rest of my life. When I got food poisoning from eating outside, Ravi and Nithin took such great care of me. Forever grateful. The school is in a perfect location. Close the Main Street but tucked away up a hill so you get a peaceful and serene environment with an amazing view of the Ganga.

If you're looking for a sign to do your YTTC in Rishikesh then this is it. Don't think, just book it. You won't regret it. I experienced 4 of the most life changing, magical weeks here and could not recommend it more. The staff are the most incredible, loving human beings who will always have a place in my heart. The teachers are incredible, knowledgeable and enthusiastic group of people who I am honoured to have met. Rahul and Ravi and their beautiful family put their heart and soul into this school and it shows. The food is incredible, the rooms are basic but comfortable, the curriculum is full of variety and inspiring topics which will open your eyes to a whole new world of yoga. I found a second family in Rishikesh and I will never forget them

I can't tell how great my experience at Pyramid Yogshala was! I feel so grateful to have chosen that particular school. It is nestled in a quiet place surrounded by nature, just 5 minutes away from the main Laxman Jhula road. Everything is there so you can just enjoy: rooms, the restaurant, the yogshala and a big open garden. The classes were incredibly professional and interesting, the teachers are so good! Yoshita is tough during the classes but she is a sweet young woman and has such a big heart. I enjoyed her classes (Shatkriya, Pranayama, Hatha Yoga), there were really well structured and interesting. I was not really interested about the naturopathy class but the mud bath was a lot of fun! Thanks a lot to the other teachers: Keshav, Sachin, Direndra, Sandeep and Manoj! I learnt so much from all of them and you can feel they teach with the heart. Of course, the YTTC is intense, but I felt we had a lot of free time through the days. So you can take a nap, study or just enjoy time with the group or in the city. Some comments but it does not change the fact that I really enjoyed everything there: I would have loved more adjustments classes because it's never enough and I really enjoyed this class with Manoj! We did not have time to learn about Yamas and Niyamas, and the Chakras, and to do the cooking class. We were lucky to attend Rahul and Ines's wedding during the first week of the training! We felt like we were part of the family, as we enjoyed the ceremonies and parties with the guests. It was so nice of them to do it at the Shala and share it with us! We also had outings: going to a Yogi cave, to Ganga Aarti and to see to sunrise over the Himalayas at Kunjapuri Temple. That last one felt so special to me, the place is magical. Thank you for everyone working there: in the kitchen, cleaning, helping... Everyone is so nice. And a big and warm thank to Rahul and Ravi, always smiling and helping when you need. Last but not least: the food is incredible! Even if the meals look the same every day, it is perfect, very tasty and not too spicy! I will recommend Pyramid Yogshala to anyone that wants to go for a YTTC, for sure!

Im absolutely thankful for doing my teacher training here. A loving, peaceful environment surrounded by nature makes the journey much easier. The teachers were incredible, all pretty different from each other, with there own colorful characteristics and knowledge. You'll leave this place as a professional, with a deeper connection with the practice, but also getting to meet the kindest people from all around the world.

I had the opportunity to do my 200h YTTC in this shala and what can I say except that it was one of these precious moments I needed to live. I can't properly find my words to say how much I am grateful for learning during 4 weeks, surrounded by such an amazing staff, professional teachers and incredible nature ! I didn't expect too much things but I learned about asanas but yoga is not only asanas and this is the best lesson they gave to us. The food are very good and if you feel that you have some cravings, you can easily reach the Main Street with a lot of restaurants and shops. My twin room was ok for the price. Anyway, I was not there to spend my time inside. I felt safe every time. By the way, the owners, Rahul and Ravi take care of you and listen to you if you need to talk with someone. So, I highly recommend this school to become a yoga teacher. You will learn in the most peaceful place. I really felt like home thanks to the environnement. Such a precious adventure and I'm glad for sharing this with amazing people. Thank you Ravi and Rahul, thank you teacher Manoj, thank you Nithin, thank you Pankaj! Thank you everyone from Pyramid

It would be close to impossible for me to detail all that I have gained from doing my 200 h ttc at Pyramid Yoga. Everything that anyone needs for physical asana practice with correction of postures and alignment has deepened the knowledge exponentially that I had before the course. The wisdom and deep knowledge that all the Teachers have acquired over their many years of continuous study and practice that is passed on to all students is accepted with deep gratitude. Deepa for her calm and peaceful manner, teaching Pranayama and Mantra Menoj for his strong and centered spirit, teaching Hatha and Allignment Ashim for his Firm and gentle nature, teaching Ashtanga Direnda J for his straightforwardness and patience, teaching Yoga Philosophy Swami Armana Ji for the Eternal Child that lives in him, teaching meditation I apologise for not remembering the Anatomy teachers name, his serene manner and determination to give us more than what is needed Naina for her positive and peaceful self, for sharing the starting blocks of Ayuverda To the management staff , Ravi and Raull. Blessings for all that you did for all of us, looking after those that had small bouts of illness and injury, myself included. For helping all whenever and whatever they needed. For the constant joy and happiness that you both live and breathe. Both at the school and the Charity and NGO work that you physically and spiritually support and run. To the families that lived on the property who welcomed our presence in a true manner of family To the staff that were not often seen but were always there, cleaning the grounds that we spent our days and evenings in. To the kitchen staff who make the most amazing food. To the fellow students and travelers on this journey that I shared 28 days with. Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for becoming part of my life. Where ever we all go , the bond forged between all mentioned above, will always be a big part of me. Namaste

I benefited a lot from my experience of the TTC at Pyramid jogshala - Rishikesh! Challenging like if there was no tomorrow but so enriching! Every teacher showed a unique personality and personal experience and brought basic knowledge of each topic and so much curiosity as the outcome of each class!!! The people working in the school were giving their best to give the best possible experience to everyone even in difficult times. The overall cost for the whole time was very affordable considering the prices we see in other schools for the same program. Thank you so much and see you later! Nico from Ch'ti country

Such an enriching, authentic and beautiful experience. (200HR Teacher Training Course) I cannot thank all involved at Pyramid enough for such a well rounded introduction to all that Yoga is. This course really felt like base camp for what is now the mountain of spirituality that lies before me. Food, accommodation and the Shala's were the perfect foundation for the learning that is available at Pyramid. The teachers are incredibly inspiring, disciplined individuals who are so willing to share their yogic knowledge. Yoshita, Sandeep, Yogesh, Keshav and Manoj have taught me so much not only through their classes but by example in how they conduct themselves. Pyramid has a wonderful family feel; Ravi, Rohit, Nitin and Pankoj all feel like brothers during your stay and any request or concern is met with attention and care. I highly recommend Pyramid Yogshala for anyone considering their teaching training in Rishikesh.
