Nirvana yoga school  Reviews 

I completed my 200 Hour Hatha Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in May at Nirvana Yoga School, and choosing this school was truly a blessing.

Nestled in the peaceful surroundings of upper Tapovan, the location offers the perfect balance, set slightly up the hill, away from the busy crowds and noise, yet still within walking distance to local shops.

I stayed in a private room, which provided all the essentials I needed, and especially a quiet space to be with myself. The room had a bathroom with warm water and a small balcony. If you are lucky, the balcony might face an amazing view of the mountains.

Each day, we were served three nourishing sattvic meals with a genuine smile, lovingly prepared with attention and care.

The teachers at Nirvana Yoga School are truly exceptional. With years of experience and deep knowledge, they guide each course with dedication. Even though they teach these programs month after month, their passion never fades. Every class is delivered with fresh energy, genuine enthusiasm, and a sense of purpose that you can feel. Their presence creates a safe and encouraging space where you feel seen, supported, and motivated to grow, both on and off the mat. I’m deeply grateful for the best teachers, guiding the students with such passion, wisdom, kindness, and endless patience.

Also, let's not forget about the management and staff, they are working behind the scenes to make sure every part of this experience was meaningful. They are always attentive, approachable, and responsive to any requests or needs. No request was ever too much, and their care and dedication never went unnoticed. Their presence is calm and creating a smooth and supportive experience for everyone. What I appreciated, is how openly they receive and act on feedback. Suggestions shared at the beginning of the week were not only heard, but implemented within just a few days. This speaks volumes about their commitment to continuous improvement and genuine care for the students' experience.

The school creates more than just a place to learn, it builds a caring and supportive environment that truly feels like home. Everyone’s kindness and genuine attention help create a strong sense of community. It is a feeling I will carry with me and always cherish.

I highly recommend doing your TTC at Nirvana Yoga School. It is an experience that goes far beyond just learning yoga, it is a journey of growth, connection, and deep transformation. If you are still unsure or have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to the school directly by email, WhatsApp, or phone. The team is incredibly kind and responsive, and they will be happy to guide you. And if it helps, you can even ask to speak with a former student to hear about their personal experience.

Thank you from the depths of my heart for this truly beautiful experience. I am so grateful to have been part of this journey and to have met such an inspiring, loving, and supportive community. This place has become like home, and I know I will return one day to once again embrace the entire family.

Hari Om.

A life-changing experience 🙏🏻✨

If you're looking for a genuine and enriching yoga path, I wholeheartedly recommend this school.

After searching for a long time, I finally found the kind of yoga school I had been dreaming of — and Nirvana Yoga School truly exceeded all expectations.

The content is rich, deep, and full of ancient wisdom. You can truly feel the dedication and presence behind every lesson.

This course is a journey into awareness and balance. The teachings go far beyond the mat and bring real, beautiful change into everyday life.

Thank you, Nirvana Yoga School. 🙏🏻

Unforgettable and life-changing experience! I came here for 200h and then for 300h, and it was one of the best decisions in my life! The school is in a new building, have all amenities you need, the yoga halls are big, have a lot of windows, light, and air and stunning view. The food is tasty and fresh, the stuff is helpful and kind. But the most important are the teachers and the organization team behind. The teachers are really the best! They have a very deep knowledge about yogic life and the subjects they teach. They all have an impressive vita and are long-year practitioner of what they teach, so you feel a lot of personal experience there as well.
They treat every student very personal, building strong connections and give their knowledge with a lot of compassion.
The management and the staff behind the school are amazing people, they always take care of the students, doesn't matter what you need, they always wear a smile on their face and a warmth in their heart. They made me feel like family, I am very grateful for that! I learned a lot, changed to a better person, found new friends and family here 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

High-quality training with highly experienced teachers. A school that values good service located in the quiet part of Rishikesh but still central. I did my YTT 300 and very satisfied!

I am so lucky and grateful to have been able to learn at such an incredible yoga school 🙏🏽
The combination courses is what truly caught my eye at Nirvana and then everything that followed was just magical. The management, teachers, rooms, classes and especially the kitchen staff for feeding us such thoughtful and nutritional meals. A month just flew by and I am full of gratitude for everything, thank you, can't wait to be back 🙏🏽🌻✨

My experience at Nirvana Yoga School was truly transformative — a sacred space where learning, living, and growing happened seamlessly. The teachers brought not just knowledge, but presence, patience, and authenticity to every class. The TTC curriculum was beautifully balanced between asana, philosophy, pranayama, and meditation.

The food deserves a special mention — nourishing, sattvic, and lovingly prepared. Every meal felt like an extension of the yogic path, supporting both body and mind.

Accommodation was simple, serene, and clean — perfect for inner work. Waking up to the stillness of nature and going to bed with a heart full of gratitude became my daily rhythm.

More than a certification, this journey was a return to myself. Deepest thanks to the entire team for creating a space where yoga is not just taught, but lived. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic yoga in its purest form.”

Thank you for everything! ❤️ It’s definitely not an easy journey but so much worth it. Knowledgeable teachers, great management, cosy atmosphere. It did feel like home!

One of my best experiences in India. Felt like a family, all team is very professional and made my time in Rishikesh very special. I really recommend it for everyone, even if you didn’t try yoga before, you can learn everything 🙏🏼
Sachin and Haresh will help you with all you need. The food is soooo good too! Just thank you🤍

Everything thing was good

Loved the management staff, food and overall ambience. Loved the Teaching staff and overall experience here

Yoga helped me in finding my passion and more importantly it helped me find my inner self. This platform provided me with a perfect space to learn yoga and grow as human being as well. I’d like to give credits to all the teachers who helped and supported me throughout my course.

Nirvana Yoga School was an incredible experience for me, more than I ever imagined it would be. I spent a month in the 200 hours TTC focusing on yoga Nidra (and also Hatha, Philosophy and more). It was my first time both in India and in a structured yoga space, and I had specifically wanted a program that was traditional (not simply set up to attract tourists but really dug into the core traditions of Yoga), one that was open and understanding of my own background and views, and a place that could be home for a month!

Home it was! We were one big family. We felt like home with Sachin (co-founder), our Guru and all the teaching staff. Nothing was too personal for them to address, and it became for everyone (both during and after) not just a group program but a space for each of us to thrive and to be supported as individuals too. My cohort was another family I did not expect. It was a group that mirrored so much the values of the school as a whole. I became vegetarian for the first time in my life and it felt like the easiest thing to do (because the food was fantastic!) And then Rishikesh itself and the location of the school — nothing felt better than seeing the sunrise during Hatha yoga. Sometimes, we spent mornings doing yoga on the beach, visiting temples, attending kirtan (which was new to me but now one of my favorite things to do). The level of devotion and love I saw from the entire team was outstanding and I have been so inspired on my own spiritual journey (beyond yoga). After the course, many of us stayed in Rishikesh for longer — it was really hard to leave the school.

My experience at Nirvana Yoga School has been beyond what I ever expected. This place felt more like a family than just a school. Guru Dhruvji, in particular, paid special attention to our comfort, making sure every student had a calming environment both in the classroom and in our rooms. The music and speakers provided to each student were a wonderful touch that helped maintain a serene atmosphere. The food was prepared with utmost care, ensuring it was sattvic and made with cold-pressed sunflower oil, which made the experience feel holistic.
Guru Dhruvji’s approach wasn’t just about training; he was approachable and helped us in many aspects of our lives, offering counseling and support to help us sort out personal issues. I also have to mention the special snacks he provided in the philosophy class, ensuring I didn’t miss his teachings while keeping us nourished. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, well-experienced, and truly dedicated to their students' growth. A special thank you to the admin team (Sachinji, Udayji, and Sanjuji) for their prompt responses and support in helping me enroll.
The extra activities, like yoga by the Ganga river, Sunday excursions, sound healing, Sadhana, kirtan (eery saturday) and acro yoga, were a cherry on top of the whole experience. I am grateful for the incredible teachers I had the privilege of learning from—Guru Dhruvji, Meghna Mam, Akshay Sir, Jeet Sir, Amit Sir, Hareshji, Prasantji and Aishwarya Mam. This is now my extended family, and I look forward to seeing them again.
What a great experience!

I had an amazing experience at Nirvana.If you want to learn and grow then please join Nirvana School and you will have experience of life.😊😊

Did RYT 300hrs course in Dec 2024. This institute was referred to me word of mouth. The experience with school is wholesome. Quality is maintained in all the services they provide be it teaching part or the Food and accommodation.

Every teacher they have hand picked is a treasure of knowledge. Management personally and keenly involves in addressing any small issue if ever arises.

You will never miss your family , they are home away from home. Over all an amazing experience. Thank you Nirvana for all the beautiful moments.

Amazing experience at Nirvana Yoga School!

Completed my Online Yoga Teacher Training here and gained so much knowledge, skills, and transformation.

Instructors were experienced, supportive, and passionate. Curriculum was comprehensive, covering physical and philosophical aspects.

Highly recommend for anyone seeking a genuine yoga education!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Nirvana Yoga School. From the start, the professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support of the teachers truly stood out. Each instructor brought a deep understanding of yoga, not only in theory but also in practice, and their guidance was invaluable throughout the course. The management team was equally impressive, always attentive and ensuring that every aspect of the training met our needs.

While the course itself was rigorous and comprehensive, the school also offered a well-rounded experience with various activities and excursions, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Rishikesh. I am deeply grateful for these opportunities, as they provided a perfect balance to the intense training schedule and gave us the chance to explore the area’s natural beauty and culture.

The school’s location was another highlight – situated in a lively area with trendy cafes and shops, yet still serene and peaceful, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. It was the ideal setting to deepen our practice and connect with nature.

This experience has truly been life-changing, and I’ve made lasting friendships with incredible people from all over the world. I highly recommend Nirvana Yoga School to anyone seeking high-quality training and a transformative yoga journey. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll cherish forever.

My yoga journey began a year ago when I was just a student to focus on my health and flexibility, but slowly I understood the depth of yoga as it is beyond just asanas. I felt more present and happy so I decided to learn more. The more I was experiencing yoga journey, I understood that I want to become a teacher and share the beautiful energy with everyone. I was searching for a yoga school in Rishikesh to study my 200 hours. After doing all my research, the universe helped me to find Nirvana Yoga School in Rishikesh. I felt a very positive vibe after going through their website and videos. I messaged Sachin sir for completing my 200 hours yttc online and purchased the course. He was very helpful and replied promptly. I started learning online and all the videos were super informative and the teaching methods of all the teachers were very clear and in depth. This gave me clarity to complete my 300 hours yttc from going to Rishikesh in this school. I arrived on 1st dec and I could feel the spiritual energy of Rishikesh as this school is situated at foothills on Himalayas. It is situated behind a waterfall and the dining area has a beautiful garden. I was super excited to take my yoga journey to the next level and this school has the exact energy required to experience your yoga journey. The schedule was from morning 6 am which really helped to fix my routine and practice yoga every morning. The Hatha yoga classes in the morning by Aishwarya ma’am and her classes were the best as her teaching style made every asana so easy and beautiful. Every morning I woke up excited to learn new asanas from her. Then we had Pranayama classes by Akashay sir, he is really the most pure soul in the entire universe. I understood the breathing technique and exact meaning of pranayama during his classes. He also begun all the classes with mantra chanting which made the environment so spiritual. We also had alignment and adjustments classes by Amit sir. The classes were explained in detail about all the asanas. He explained in a very simple way and it was very informative as each asanas should be performed in a perfect way. We also had yoga therapy and Ayurveda classes which only Niravana school in entire Rishikesh offers. The classes helped us to understand more about our body and how yoga helps us to be more healthy. The most important were the Yoga philosophy classes and Guru ji taught took a few classes. His wisdom helped me to accept myself more and see the light within me and to also see what is beyond the light. Our other philosophy teacher vivek sir has alot of knowledge and taught us how to start our yoga journey mentally. During afternoon we had our Ashtanga classes. I had never tried Ashtanga Vinyasa before but just of Naveen sir and his teachings, I could perform so many asanas which increased my strength and flexibility. The intense flow of Ashtanga with breath work has made me fall in love the yoga practice more. We had meditation classes in evening by Meghna ma’am. She is super sweet and made the meditation more sweeter with her positive energy. She helped us to go from dharana to dhayana which was super blissful. We did chakras meditation and yog nidra which was a beautiful experience. Her classes were always about the experience and feelings after meditation which was really important to understand more about our thoughts and our own selves. It was the best way to end our day. All the classes were fun and knowledgeable. The entire learning experience was extremely rewarding because of all the teachers. Our favourite time was eating breakfast together in the garden with mountain view in the winters with bright light of the sun. The management and team was very impressive, the school took us to khunjapuri temple and vashitha cave. Supper grateful and blessed to get the opportunity to learn from this school. I highly recommend this school, overall experience was the most valuable and blissful. Thank you so much Nirvana yoga school. Love you all. Namaste! ❤️🙏🏼
