Personally I loved my yoga teacher training experience. At this magical place I met so many beautiful souls, some of them which I know we will meet again for sure!!! The Ashram: While my stay, the ashram is under construction, so sometimes during class it was kinda noisy with the construction. and it was a bit dusty. BUT I have to say, the staffs tried their best to kept it clean and neat for us. AND I had a chance to look at the new Rooftop. AMAZING mountain view and can’t wait to go back for a meal there. I would be great to handout at the new rooftop for star-gazing at night Or sun bathing during the day!!! The Food: REALLY good food healthy, delicious, easy to digest, tasty food. especially appreciated for occasional sweets and fruits.
The Teachers: I really enjoy morning yoga class with Dr Jitendra, with his guidance I feel like I could hold my posture longer, and I see improvement everyday. Yogi Simon ji was able to make philosophy fun and easy to understand for us. Love having Sole Carbone from Canada as our anatomy teacher, a new way to see how our body works and how it was all connected. Well, as for Prem ji, I wish he was more strict on us in adjustment class, I felt like we could have go thru more asanas. The Ceremonies: Personally I like all ceremonies we did with Mandeep, I was able to have my mala and statue of shiva blesses during the maha shivaratri ceremony, which made it more scared and special for me! The meditations: For me I think there was a bit too many different techniques of meditation being introduced in such intensive course. I would actually prefer to focus on a couple and really mastering it. BTW, We did a full moon meditation by the Ganga, which was one of my favourites. Overall I enjoyed my times in the ashram. Much appreciation to all staffs working at the ashram: Sonu ji, Amit ji, and the kitchen team Tip for upcoming student: do read course material on your free time, it will make your life easier

It is really a nice experience to study Ancient Hatha Yoga at Patanjali International Yoga Foundation for a month. Everything here are all around ancient atmosphere. Beautiful building with neat & clean room, vegetarian food is delicious, clean and hard working staff, many mysterious God sculptures in the Ashram. When I met my Indian yoga instructor he taught me ancient yoga a month in China, I am so interested on it and want to study more in Rishikesh, I ask him if he can recommend me a good teacher to study ancient yoga? He only recommended Dr Jitendra Das of Patanjali International Yoga Foundation to me among too many schools here. Through the study here, I learned the 7 limbs of Hatha Yoga, 8 limbs of Patanjali sutra, a lot of things attract me to study more and more……I have found the answers of Mantra, Banda, Mudra, Kundalini & Satchakras, dhyana, Asana and etc from Dr Jitendra Das. Beautiful Ganga River, Himalayan mountain and Sannyasini’s cave are all very deep impressive on me.
