Without knowing anything about this Shala, I have signed up for classes to continue my Ashtanga practice. For me this shala has been like a home from the first day, the energy and peace that is breathed in this place are unique. Sachin and his team have been very professional and friendly from the first moment. With their help I have managed to improve my practice a lot, and without a doubt I believe that this shala is the best place in Rishikesh to continue practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in the traditional way (Mysore style). I am also sure that the classes they give for beginners and the intensive courses are excellent since you cannot find a better Ashtanga yoga teacher in the area. (Authorisation Level 1 Sharath Jois) I will definitely return soon and hope to attend more classes. Namaste ♥️📿

In December I have attended the 1 week intesive practice, with a mix of MySore class in the morning and some theory/philosophy/pranayama in the afternoon. As a beginner, I arrived in Rishikesh with no practice of MySore and some knowledges about ashtanga asanas, but I went back home having learnt almost the full primary series and having developed a personal practice that I can do everywere by my own. I can say that this short course has exceeded my expectations and thoughts about what I would have taken with me back home and filled me with new knowledge, awareness and willing to keep deepen my ashtanga practice and integrate it in my daily life. Thank you again Sachin for this very important gift, you have been a careful and dedicated teacher pushing me beyond my limits and helping me learn positions I never thoughts I could learn in this very short time. Namaste!

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 🙏🏻
