Thanks Google for suggesting PIYF when I was looking for yoga Aashram in Rishikesh. Enrolling for 2 weeks yoga training is one of the best decisions I have made. This has been a real game changer for my body and mind. I have thoroughly enjoyed this yoga training programme. Dr Dasji and Sonuji are brilliant teachers. I can’t thank them enough for their commendable dedicated teaching and personalised attention to all the students. Breath work and asanas are taught really well in a proper guided manner. Various meditation techniques are also introduced well. Philosophy lectures by Simonji are excellent. ‘Kirtan’ and music by Mandeepji is unforgettable. Laxmanji and the cook (sorry, I don’t know his name) are very good at providing healthy meals and food is always served with a genuine smile on the face. I got really lucky with the group of lovely people attending this course. This group had a lot of positive energy. Thank you so much everyone. I intend to continue practicing breath work, asanas and meditation regularly.

My experience at PIYF was extremely enriching and enlightening. The place, programme, teachers and facilities are excellent. The structure of the programme is well paced allowing enough gaps and time for yourself. The personalised attention by the teachers and staff was exceptional. I highly recommend this ashram for anyone who wants to truly learn and experience the Patanjali and Hatha yoga teachings in its truest form!

I highly recommend Patanjali International Yoga Foundation. My training was exceptional, the teachers who taught me were very professional, knowledgeable and yet very warm which added value to my overall experience. Dr. Jitendra Das puts his heart in his teachings and the well being of his students. The program was well structured, my training did include Anatomy, I did not feel I lacked in any area in fact I appreciate that I was able to learn and retain so much due to the quality of professionalism of this school. Being an Ashram experience, expect comfort, clean space to learn, sleep and practise. Freshly cooked meals every day, study material to guide during your training is also provided. Be mindful and prepared to harvest the fruits of your hard work. No real transformation is ever possible if you don’t devote yourself to what you came to learn. Everything in this school is designed to provide you with the best. I am grateful and cherish my experience at Patanjali. AUM Namah Shivaya

I had always dreamed of studying yoga in the Himalayas, and against all odds, it happened!The course itself is the best training in authentic, classical hatha yoga I have ever come across, and exemplified the full gamut of what real yoga is; mediation, bandha, shatkarma, mudra, pranayama, philosophy, anatomy, and not just asana… This has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life, and I return to Wales an improved student, and teacher! Thank you so much to everyone who facilitated the course, and shared in its unfolding; we’re eternally bonded, not just by the sacred thread, or the communal mantra, but by the joint thought, sweat, and camaraderie of genuine satsang. Never have I been given so much strength, courage, and inspiration from one group of people. My heartfelt wishes are with you always, for all of your futures, you beautiful souls

The comprehensive nature of this course is something. I have not come across before. It is been intense, eye opening, insightful and most of all a true joy to be part of PIYF 01-21 Dec2013. I have been let into a world I just want to go deeper into. A very 3 dimensional practice that encompasses all that I have been looking for all. It is been an incredible three week roller coaster, learning so much, sharing experience, very nutritious food, positive energy all around, I am truly honored!!!
