Yoga Teacher Training India Reviews - Rishikesh Yogkulam®

YYogkulam means family. They have been my family during this month of September. I have to say that this school is run from the heart, with highly qualified teachers, where I have learned from their experience and wisdom. With love and affection they have been aware of all our concerns and have taken great care of us. They are serious and professional, wanting to transmit yoga in the best way. And the views from the school are amazing. Al the best 😘

Yogkulam truly is a yoga family. Very quickly we became like a family, sharing thoughts, ideas, dreams and cultural exchange. It was such a humbling experience, the teachers were great, overall the course syllabus is very complete. I learned so much about the lifelong journey that yoga represents. It was challenging everyday but there Is nothing that I regret coming to yogkulam. The food everyday was so delicious and nutritious, Sunil really took care of us. It was such a fresh and fun training because the teachers are young and very knowledgeable. Special thanks to Amitji and Jituji, our asana and theory teachers, and my dear friends!

I did my 300hr with guys. Dhirendra and Amit are great teachers. Very professional and knowledgeable. I learned a lot about how to structure my class, how to host a class, how to do every asana correctly and how to adjust people. We had good anatomy classes and I learned names of muscles and how the body functions. We had traditional pranayama class with different chat karmas. I loved all of our hatha and Ashtanga asana classes, it was the best time. Food was very delicious and accommodations were comfortable. We had a lovely small group and family atmosphere. I’m grateful to you guys for this experience! Namaste 🙏🏻

I recently completed my 200 hour online teacher training with Rishikesh Yogkulam® and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to undertake a teacher training course. Don't look any further! The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, and are always available to answer any question. I loved the holistic approach to the curriculum with Hatha Asana, Ayurveda, Philosophy, Pranayama, and Meditation training. This holistic approach to teacher training helped me develop a wider perspective and learn how each is interconnected. Thank you Rishikesh Yogkulam® :)

What a phenomenal month-long journey to the self with these guys! Rishikesh Yogkulam® went above and beyond my expectations for a TTC. All of the teachers are very relatable and extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their craft. Going into the experience, I wanted to be able to take away as much information as I could to pass along to my future yoga students. This program really prepares you with all the tools you need and gives you the confidence you need to be an amazing yoga teacher. Thank you for sharing your culture and love of yoga with me. Rishikesh Yogkulam® is an unforgettable experience. Thank you.

If you do care more for the content than the famous name, then go for this school. Led by experienced teachers Dee and Amit in a professional way, yet very friendly atmosphere. I felt at home from the very first moment. We were a small group and thanks to it received all the attention from our teachers and got answers to all our questions. Many new inputs and inspiration for yoga practice. Premises are beautiful and the food is delicious prepared by the smiling chef :). Thank you for the unforgettable and beautiful experience!

Wow!!! Having completed many courses in my life I left Yogkulam feeling inspired and wanting to learn more. The passion of ancient yogic knowledge oozes from the teachers who with love, respect and dignity hold true to what they believe and what they have been taught. They looked after my inflexible body and on my journey have knowingly or unknowingly taught me to respect and expand on the limitations which I have put on myself throughout my life. The 200Hr TTC is well thought out with great teachings on all levels of the Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual aspects of life. Be inspired, feel whole and let go. We create our own walls so when you are ready free yourself. There’s only one place I can recommend in Rishikesh to study yoga and that is Yogkulam. Join the family.

I will highly recommend this school, with an extremely professional team of teachers. Because it's a small structure you will benefit from the best attention which is a really important point to choose a school and to progress I think. I took my training course with Amit and I can affirm he is a very good teacher, extremely knowledgeable, and overachiever. Him and all the team will take you high in your practice, your knowledge and will give you the confidence to teach your turn. Rishikesh Yogkulam® is a good choice!

I followed my previous teacher Dee for my 300 hour yoga teacher training course to his new school which he runs with Amit, both exceptional teachers. My knowledge of asana and alignment has improved especially but all the classes were brilliant. The course is intense but well worth it. The food is delicious and cooked with love every single day. The rooms are light, bright, clean and spacious. The teachers took us on excursions around rishikesh on our day off, invited us to an Indian wedding and threw a lovely birthday celebration for one of the girls on the course. My group was small and we had a very special bond with each other by the end. Can’t thank the teachers enough. I highly recommend this school.

I did a lot of research for the perfect school and I am so glad I found it! The teachers are amazing, full of knowledge, willing to help you grow, always an ear for your questions, assistance if you have any problem or health issues, respect full and always in a good mood to share wonderful experiences and memories with you. I can't say enough thank you for all your kindness and knowledge I got from all the teachers of Rishikesh Yogkulam®. I definitely will be back to keep studying with all of them. And a big hug to my colleagues there was one of a kind and so happy to have shared all this experience with them too. Definitely this school is the best you can find in Rishikesh. Dhanyawad

Dhi and Amit gurujis will teach you to be both flexible and strong at the same time. I am so grateful I was able to learn from the best. They have the knowledge and passion to train you to be a better yogi and improve your practice. I have so much respect for both, and am so excited to see that they have teamed up to start a school that will optimally train your body, mind and spirit to be “healthy and happy”. I would highly recommend it to any yogi to learn from Dhi and Amit. You will gain lifelong friends, not just teachers.

🌺 Guiding Principles and the Sacred Thread of Discipline


🙏 Namaste and welcome to our Yoga Teacher Training Course.

We are deeply grateful to share this transformative journey with you — a path of growth that embraces the body, mind, and spirit.

May each moment here be a source of awareness, harmony, and inner light.

🍁 General Information

  • To honor the yogic path and maintain the pure and elevated energy of this space, we kindly request that you refrain from using substances such as alcohol, drugs, and tobacco throughout the course. The use and possession of intoxicants, as well as non-vegetarian food, are not allowed on the campus.
  • The school gate closes at 10:00 PM. Returning after this time will be considered a violation of the institute’s ethical code. If you wish to stay out overnight, please sign a check-out form at the reception.
  • A security deposit of 1000 INR is required at check-in and will be refunded at check-out if everything is in order.
  • On the first day, there will be no meals or activities. You are welcome to explore the nearby cafés and surroundings.
  • Please take good care of your belongings and always keep your room locked — including doors and balcony windows — to avoid visits from curious monkeys.

📿 Sunday: A Day of Rest and Renewal

  • No classes or meals will be scheduled. This is a time for rest or gentle exploration. Any group excursions will be announced one day in advance and they are normally done in the morning.

🌸 Available Services

  • Laundry: 20 INR per item, to be paid in cash at the time of return. Please inquire at the reception.
  • Room cleaning: Done weekly. Notifications will be shared via WhatsApp.
  • Filtered drinking water is available on three floors, along with dispensers for hot, cold, and room-temperature water.

📷 Photography and Media

  • Photos and video recordings may be taken for promotional purposes during the course. If you prefer not to appear in any media, please let us know during orientation.

🌟 Mindful Use of Energy

  • Please turn off fans, air conditioners, lights, and water heaters when not in use, as a gesture of care for the environment.

🩺 In Case of Medical Emergency

  • You may contact Nitika Ji, Anjali Ji, Jittu Ji, Pankaj Ji, Prahlad Ji via WhatsApp. For night emergencies, please go to Room 102 (if in 200hrs building), or 101 (if in 300hrs building). Medical expenses are the responsibility of the student.

🏡 External Visits and Guests

  • To protect the sacred group energy, friends or family members are not allowed in the campus without prior permission.

🥗 Yogic Food

  • All meals are lacto-vegetarian, inspired by traditional Indian cuisine. Eggs are not considered vegetarian in local culture. For special dietary needs, you may visit nearby organic stores.
  • Please receive each meal with Kritajna (gratitude).
  • If you will not be attending a meal, kindly inform us at least 3 hours in advance to prevent food waste.
  • To cultivate mindfulness and presence, we encourage silence during dinner, both verbal and nonverbal. Conversations may resume naturally after everyone has finished eating.
  • Meals are available for 30 minutes after service begins. After that, food will not be served unless you’ve informed the staff beforehand. This supports the well-being and proper rest of both students and staff.
  • If allergies or intolerances were not mentioned on your arrival form, a 4000 INR (approx. 50 USD) fee may apply.

🧘 Respect and Kindness

  • We kindly ask that you interact with teachers, fellow students, and staff with mutual respect and compassion.
  • Please help maintain cleanliness and order in shared spaces. School utensils, mats, and props should be returned clean to their proper place after use.

🤝 Shared Living Guidelines

  • If you’ve chosen a shared room, we invite you to approach this experience with flexibility, conscious communication, and mutual respect. The school is not responsible for interpersonal issues — we trust in your maturity to resolve any misunderstandings peacefully.
  • For shared AC rooms, air conditioning may only be used with the mutual agreement of both roommates.
  • If you are aware that you snore during sleep, we recommend opting for a private room out of consideration for others’ comfort. Please note the school cannot be held responsible for sleep-related disturbances in shared rooms.

🌎 Sustainability & Local Traditions

  • Please limit the use of toilet paper and use the water jet provided. If you’re unfamiliar with it, feel free to ask for guidance.
  • Prefer using the bucket for showers — it's simple and environmentally conscious.
  • In case of power outages (common in summer), ACs and water heaters may not work temporarily.
  • Do not feed monkeys or eat while walking in the streets.
  • Avoid street food and drink only filtered water. Limit raw fruits and vegetables for digestion safety.

🙏 Cultural Sensitivity

  • Please avoid public displays of affection and dress modestly. Refrain from wearing revealing or transparent clothing, or outfits that expose the chest (for both men and women).
  • When visiting temples or other sacred sites, please ensure your shoulders are covered and wear clothing that extends below the knees
  • Men and women are not allowed to enter each other’s rooms unless they are sharing the same room as a couple, friends, or family.

📕 Classes and Spiritual Discipline

  • Participation in peer exams is mandatory
  • Attendance will be tracked by teachers.
  • Arriving late, leaving early, or lying down during class is counted as an absence.
  • Please arrive at least 5 minutes early and show full commitment and presence in each session.

  • Only water is allowed inside. No food or other drinks.
  • Phones must be off or in airplane mode. Audio/video recording is not allowed during classes, nor is the use of electronic devices for note-taking unless permitted.
  • Respect books and manuals — do not sit on them.
  • The last person to leave the yoga hall should switch off all lights, fans, AC, and close the windows.

  • For 300hrs: Practical exams will be held between the 22nd and 26th of the month. Written assignments must be submitted at reception by the 24th.

💮 Living as a Spiritual Family

  • Within this sacred space, we commit to nurturing mutual kindness, respect, and presence. Any inappropriate behavior — including ethical violations, theft, damage, discrimination, or harassment — will result in immediate dismissal without refund.
  • This journey requires discipline, sincerity, and openness of heart.
  • By honoring these guidelines, we co-create a sacred, harmonious, and transformative environment.

For any need or concern, we are here to support you.
