I did the two-week Yoga and Meditation retreat at PIYF and my time there was much better than I had expected: I had expected to go somewhere where I would be mostly relaxing, learning the asanas, and getting a bit more of the ‘cultural experience’ but actually I got so much more than that. The staff is very friendly and willing to go beyond what is ‘their job’ (for example going on walks with the students, out for lunch, and even having improv music sessions!), you can really bond with them. I would say that the biggest strength of PIYF is that they teach what yoga is really about (theory and practice) – the knowledge and expertise present is invaluable. If you are a dedicated, open-minded student seeking to grow, I am sure you will learn very much and be happy with your experience at PIYF!

From the start until the end. It has been inspiring, amazing, joyfull, meaning full, and a journey. The structure of the lessons daily is perfect adjustment to try personal level, back ground and capacity. All the theory lessons are valuable, as well as, the other lessons. Personal development in asanas proper set during the 4 weeks. The style of Patanjali Foundation is inspiring and motivating. From the very beginnig I thought ‘ this will work out good ‘. No worries about test, exams or other things. Just from day to day practice and follow schedule announcement, so no worries /stress for next day. It got me in the moment. The food, rooms, service, hospitality, are the best and makes me feel at home in PIYF, Rishikesh, India.
