I did a week's intensive course in ashtanga yoga shala Rishikesh, and I had the most amazing time. Thanks to Sachin's patience and kindness, I was able to make a lot of progress and correct my postures in ashtanga. For me it was a discovery of the Mysore style, which allowed me to progress at my own pace, and to acquire autonomy, which will make it easier for me to practice on my own. I was also able to learn more about yoga and its significations. I'm looking forward to coming back for a longer time Thank you 🙏🏻🐄 Edit: A year after i came back for a 300ttc I had and amazing time practicing and learning more about Anatomy, philosophy, méditation and pranayama Teachers are amazing (tks Sachin, liubov, vikas and nitin 🙏🏻) I'll bé back for sure for a third time 😺

A Marzo ho concluso la mia formazione insegnanti in questa meravigliosa Shala a Rishikesh. La location è magica, con vista diretta sul sacro Ganga, e l’energia del posto ti avvolge dal primo giorno. Gli insegnanti sono eccezionali. Sachin è un maestro incredibile: la sua guida in Ashtanga è profonda e autentica! Anche la parte di anatomia è fatta davvero bene. Liubov è estremamente preparata e riesce a rendere ogni argomento chiaro e super interessante. Gratitudine immensa per questa esperienza. Consigliatissima a chi vuole una formazione seria e trasformativa o per chi vuole solo praticare in un luogo meraviglioso.

Sono profondamente grata ai Maestri Liubov e Sachin per tutto quello che mi hanno donato in questi mesi. Mi sono sentita accolta e ascoltata. La shala é bella e luminosa, si respira una grande dedizione. Grazie di cuore Maestri🤍

I was met with kindness and knowledge that has enhanced my practice beyond where I thought it could ever reach. I am incredibly grateful to Sachin and Liubov for their dedication to the Ashtanga path.

Laura Laurent

The teacher is very pretentious, acts as if he was some kind of celebrity teacher. He is not, just want to be, and that is in fact the opposite of what yoga is. Physic practice is good but not spiritual approach. Will not return and do not recommend.

Aurelie Chevreau

I had an amazing intensive Ashtanga course. The teachers are exceptional, the courses as well. They share very useful insight and knowledge. Highly recommended Thank you Sachin, Liuva and the team! I will come back ☺️ Hari Om 🙏

: A truly special place to deepen the practice I joined the one-week Ashtanga intensive and it was a deeply enriching experience. I highly recommend it, as the theoretical part gives a much deeper understanding that you can immediately bring into the practice. Learning about biomechanics, philosophy, and the foundations of Ashtanga helped me understand the practice in a much more conscious and meaningful way. Sachin and Liubov are truly wonderful teachers. Their knowledge, dedication, and the way they hold the space make the experience very special. After the intensive, I decided to extend my stay and continue attending the Mysore classes, which says a lot about how inspiring the experience was for me. The shala itself is truly unique, with beautiful views and a very special energy that you can feel as soon as you enter. It’s one of those places that naturally invites you to keep practicing and going deeper.

Grossartige Lehrer!! So tolle Stunden. Für keine Beginner im Ashtanga würde ich die „Intensivwoche“ allerdings nicht empfehlen, da sie tatsächlich „nur“ aus den Morgenstunden (je 1,5h) und drei bis vier Nachbesprechungen am Nachmittag besteht - der Imagefilm trifft mehr auf den 200/300 Stunden Kurs zu, was etwas missverständlich war. Meine Empfehlung: Unbedingt besuchen, aber mit Erfahrung lieber direkt in die Morgenstunden gehen, in die ab 8:00 oder ab 6:30, ist auch günstiger.

I have completed a 300hr training at this shale and my experience was amazing from start to finish. Even before I accomplished that I felt the energy in the shala was very friendly and social, really felt like a big community. I am somewhat of a beginner to ashtanga event though I have done previous training before I feel Sachin helped me see it from a totally different perspective. He gave great assisting also that helped me progress a lot in my practice. Alignment classes were really helpful and that went along with very detailed anatomy classes gave me a deep understanding of the practice for myself and for different types of bodies. Amazing mantra classes and philosophy classes. I enjoyed all of it and extremely grateful

Neetii Patel

I recently completed a 300-hour intensive training at Sachin Ji and Liubov Ji’s beautiful Ashtanga Yoga Shala in Rishikesh, and I am deeply grateful for the incredible guidance I received from my teachers. A special thank you to Sachin ji who played a major role in transforming my relationship with backbending. I came into the training with a lot of fear around backbends, but through his patient guidance, clear explanations, and constant encouragement, I was able to overcome that fear and make real progress. Sachin is humble, caring, and extremely knowledgeable, and his teaching has made a profound difference in my life. His style is both grounded and uplifting, and I will always be grateful for this experience. Liubov’s knowledge of anatomy is incredible, and she is exceptionally caring, warm, and always ready to help. This past month has been transformational for both my practice and my confidence. I highly recommend their classes and teachings.
