I completed my 300-hour course in August and stayed for another 20 days. This place exudes a homely charm, with good facilities, clean and cozy rooms, and delicious, nourishing food. Pandit Ji even adjusted the spice level to accommodate my preference for milder food 🙏🏻 The experience I gained here is invaluable, a treasure beyond measure. All the teachers are well-trained and teach from their hearts. Jitendra Das’s classes, in particular, have a depth and meaning that resonate profoundly. For those seeking structured yoga classes, he is the guide to choose—his wisdom and skill are exceptional. I will definitely return to practice under his expert guidance.

I have completed the course "Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda" at Patanjali Yoga Foundation and I am very happy with this decision. The ashram is very cozy, clean and pleasant, all the staff make me feel safe and comfortable here. The food is amazing!! Something different every time :) The teachers really care and do an amazing job sharing all the knowledge and practices. It was quite intensive, the program is rich and classes are held from morning to evening - theory and practice, meditation etc. I learned a lot about Ayurvedic yoga therapy, big thanks to guru Ji Das for taking care and all teachings. I really during this few weeks could feel like at home, hope we will see each other soon !:)

Namaste evryone, I am Reza from Iran, now I am here at Patanjali International Yoga Foundation and im very happy to be here, everyone is very friendly here. The ashram is my second home because I feel comfortable and relaxed here. I came two days early, they gave me a warm welcome and they accepted me at seven in the morning. They gave me my room very soon. They respect us a lot. All the foods are very delicious. We have wonderful daily exercises with professional teachers. We wake up at 7 am and practice asana and other things until 10 am and eat a very delicious meal at 10:30 am, and we have anatomy class from 12 to 1 pm, philosophy class from 1 pm to 2 pm and from 2 o clock we have song therapy with drink herbal tea. And we prepare for the rest of the day, we have a yoga practice in afternoon from 5:00 to 7:00. And at half past seven, the second delicious meal and before sleep we have a great meditation. On Sundays, we went to the temple, waterfall and other beautiful places. I recommend you to experience this feeling and I am really thankful for all these good things.

Peace & Love Patanjali Yoga Foundation a profound place for anyone seeking to deepen your yoga practice. I came to Rishikesh looking for a school that would provide a solid foundation for me to build my practice on. I completed200 hr YTT course. Here I was greeted by a divine ashram staff and amazing teachers that made me feel at home. Guru Dr Jitendra brings an unique cadance and presence in his teachings. Mandeep shares deep wisdom in his phliosphy class, and Novneet Ji teaches in a way that is truly engaging. Laxman Ji was so kind and caring and PandiJi prepared us delicious ayurvedic meals. At PIYF you will gain an abundance of discpline that enhances positive attitudes. You truly learn everything you need to know to share the practice with anyone you wish while also leaving inspired to learn more. Give Thanks PIYF With Love

I recently attended the Yoga Therapy course at PIYF. This is my third visit and I cannot overstate the professionalism with which the courses are delivered. The course itself was extremely useful. The yoga practices and knowledge about Yoga Philosophy, Ayurveda and various therapies were top class. The food is excellent and I came out a different person. Many thanks to Dr Das and others at the institute. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious to learn the ancient science.
