One of the best places to learn yoga. The teachers are super dedicated and always available to help out. The location is perfect. Right next to ganges. the food they serve is super tasty. The rooms are clean and maintained well. Must visit.i stayed there for 21 days.
An unforgettable experience... All of the Swami Ji(s) and Teachers have been extremely kind and supportive. Also met with all the beautiful souls (fellow students), some become family and some become lifelong friends. Great location to learn Yoga because Kutir located in heart of father Himalayas and by the mother Ganga Now I'm ready to pursue my yoga teaching career. And there aren't enough words to explain how grateful I am. Chanting clasz, weekly short walk and trekking were also great memories and joys. Thank you, Sivananda Kutir, for this learning and experience that I hope to carry with me for the rest of my life.
Wonderful spiritual experience. In the Himalayas by the Ganga where you will find peace and happiness for your soul and body. The stay, schedule, food was all perfect. In terms of the course content, it is very comprehensive and detailed as it must be for a yoga TTC. One must take the experience with an open mind and heart to truly enjoy it.
A simple ashram at the banks of Ganges with a beautiful view of the hills. Perfect for a spiritual retreat. Though the ashram is smaller compared to its other branches, the holy river adds all the divinity that is needed in our yoga practice. The staff are great. They have rooms as well as dorms that are neat and tidy. I had a wonderful experience.
What a wonderful spiritual journey in yoga teacher training course! Having memorable moments in & after the course. We feel like in the brotherhood bondage attached to each other among teachers & students in our whatsapp group now.
I lived here 2 weeks. Nice place. Beautiful nature. Friendly staff. Interesting people from all over the world. Tasty meals Here I can get more peace and stability inside. Good possibility to restart and to deepen your practice.
I had the privilege of traveling all the way from Chile to the Himalayas in April 2023 to attend the Teachers' Training Course (TTC) at Sivananda Kutir, and I cannot express in words how incredible this experience was. It deserves a solid 5-star rating without a doubt. The location itself is simply breathtaking. Nestled in the Himalayan mountains and surrounded by the serene beauty of the Ganges River, it's a place like no other. The natural surroundings, the harmony of the nearby villages, and the majestic mountains create an atmosphere of tranquility and peace that is truly sublime. The swamis and staff at the ashram were exceptionally warm and friendly. They not only made us feel welcome but also imparted invaluable teachings that will stay with me for a lifetime. Living the ashram life is a unique experience, and I am infinitely grateful for having had the opportunity to immerse myself in it. The meals provided were not only delicious but also nutritious, and the accommodations were comfortable and more than adequate. I had no issues whatsoever during my stay. The TTC itself was incredibly comprehensive, covering various aspects of yoga in depth. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in deepening their yoga practice and teaching skills. I'm already looking forward to the possibility of returning in the near future.
Sivananda Kutir is not your fancy go-to Yoga school of the likes you would find in Rishikesh, Goa or Dharamshala. It is led by a highly professional and skilled teachers, following a strict routine and diet in an aspiration to impart a true and complete meaning of Yogic life, and not just Yoga. The Ashram itself is located in the small village Netala, enroute Gangotri, adjacent to the Ganga. The place is free from any kind of pollution and is a perfect setting for the course. It may initially take a while for a few (myself included) to adjust to the schedule. But do not let that discourage you as what comes next is surely a life changing experience. The Ashram teaches you everything you need to know to be a professional and well training Yoga teacher that you aspire to be. I am really grateful to all the teachers for their knowledge sharing, selfless service and taking care of all the students so well.
A very pleasant experience in terms of stay. The rooms were very clean and hygiene was also being taken care of by the staff. Along with a majestic view of the mountains, you could hear the river flowing along with it which is even accessible on foot
