S M Yoga Research Institute, Vrindavan - Yoga Retreat Center in Vrindavan - Mathura, India

Best yoga therapy experience of my life! In only two weeks my flexibility is really improved and also my mental status is much better! Thanks Dr. Balmukund Shastri ji for healing my body, my mind and my soul

Hare Krishna! For 3 months I was suffering from severe stomach ache: I was diagnosed with multiple 4mm stones in the gall bladder, together with cyst in its duct and a lot of contamination. I was vomiting bile, was not able to digest the food I ate, and was suffering from severe stomach cramps. My doctor in Italy prescribed me allopathic medicines and I felt better for a few days, but the problem wasn't resolved, and I was suffering all over again. Then I was suggested to consult International Yoga Guru Dr. Balmukund Shastri ji at SM Yoga Research Institute in Vrindavan (India). I visited him and he gave me a one-month naturopathy treatment, consisting of different natural therapies that stimulate the self-healing ability of the body, together with daily yoga sessions. Within a week I was feeling way better and after merely 15 days the ultrasound reported a clear gall bladder, with no traces of stones. I was astonished because without any operation nor a single tablet I was completely healed and within one and half months I lost 10 kg of weight. Now it's been 3 months after the treatment and I never suffered again, I feel good and fit. I am very grateful to Dr. Balmukund Shastri ji and therapist Neetu Sharma ji, who took good care of me, made me feel comfortable, and provided me with the best treatment. Dr. Balmukund ji is a very knowledgeable doctor and yoga master; he is very sensitive to the patients and always available in case of emergencies. I am overall very satisfied with this experience and now I am studying the Yoga Instructor Course from him.

I came to SM yoga institute as a volunteer. I realised during the 2nd day of my stay that what I was learning was beyond just physical postures of yoga. Yoga is just one aspect, I went through self discovery and had the opportunity to purify my mind body and soul. If you are willing to put hard work and let go of all your impurities, and prepared to surrender then this is the right place for you. I strongly recommend SM yoga Ashram because it has the right teaching tools. Balmukund sashtri ji, Mark Johnson and Balkrishna ji are full of knowledge, very sincere, honest and always willing to support and guide you. I'll guarantee by the end of the course you wouldn't want to leave. Thank you for everything.

Happy to share a wonderful experience with SM yoga research institute Meerut Sashatri Nagar Branch. A big thank you to our International Yoga Guru Dr. Balmukund Shastri for his training and guidance of Yoga, meditation and charkra awakening class were excellent and have had profound effect on me with outstanding result.The environment of the center is highly positive and energetic.It was an enlightening and an uplifting experience, with a staff well versed in their job, they have helped realise my inner self and strength ! I highly recommend this eye opening and soul nourishing SM Yoga Research Institute for any and every one interested in discovering yoga and themselves via yoga.

I first came to Vrindavan at my close friend's behest and when I arrived I realized just how much of an alien world India is to me (I'm from the USA). Adjusting to the culture and climate was difficult but it was the people and the beautiful town that made it so rewarding. Staying at the Ashram, I received yoga training every morning and the teachers progressively added more theory and practice at a comfortable but challenging rate. Everyone in this city is so full of love and happiness and they are eager to share in their joy for life. In my short stay here I have seen many new things, I have learned many new strengths, and I have achieved a quiet fortitude of mind that I have never experienced before. I highly recommend staying at this Ashram and meeting the wonderful family that runs it! Lots of love to Balmakund Sastri, Balkrishna Sastri, Asharya Dharmnadh Sastri, Girjeshnan Nandana!

Balmukund Shastri and SM Yoga research institute is amaaaaazing! The holy city of Vrindavana is the place to be for all mystics and yogis, and luckily Balmukund Shastri is a wodnerkind of a yogi. Super educated, compassionate and poised. I met him as a small child in vrindavana and now he has become a very informative teacher with so much to share with this material world in helping them to become more spiritual . Do yourself a favor and see this enlightening man who will change you path with his endless spiritual acumen! Om jai Krishna. Radhe Radhe!!
