We often understand the significance of something or someone through its/their name. "Yoga Essence" is a great example of the beauty & the expression of truthfulness within words. The teaching family at this school brings the very essence of yoga with them in their hearts and through their transformational yoga and meditation practices. Prior to choosing this school, I had done tons of research on yoga schools in the area and many of them seemed like money-making factory machines, simply pumping out yoga instructors based on supply and demand. They were all so far from the heart of what yoga means to me so I kept looking and I followed my intuition to Yoga Essence. I immediately could feel and see why my journey led me to them. Authentic, kind-hearted and incredibly supportive, this family of instructors will help you evolve. You simply need to come with an open heart. I recommend this school to anyone who wishes to feel at home while learning / growing further on their journey in True Yoga - in all of its gorgeous essence.

As a Yoga Teacher, I chose to follow the 200 hours meditation teacher training in Yoga Essence Rishikesh because I wanted to learn and experience different meditation techniques that the training offers different techniques than other schools. Not only I experienced and learned a lot different meditation practices but also it became my life changing process. I found joy and calmness in myself; it deepened my inner journey to experience who I really am? The small group of the program allowed us to become intimate with classmates and made it possible for the excellent teachers to give personal guidance. The teachers are living what they teach and now I understand more what it means to be a yogi. Now I know how I want to teach yoga in my home country with a lot of joy, singing and dancing. I truly recommend this course and school. I'm thankful that I followed it. Namaste! Mario.

Yoga Capital of India , Rishikesh I could experience essence of yoga by enrolling in 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Course at Yoga Essence, Rishikesh under loving guidance of Swami Samarth. The ever friendly and supportive team of Joy, Anoop, Dhiraj, Ranjan, Prasad could made 200 hour yoga teacher training flow smoothly same as the flow of our gorgeous divine Ganga. I feel privileged as the course itself was beyond my expectations. Behind the tightly packed schedule without weekly off was the intention of keeping the group energy intact to achieve the transformational frequency at individual level and I felt it was the motto of the school.

Yoga Nidra Teacher Training was quite challenging for me in the beginning due to my accumulated stress and anxiety to go deeper relaxation and let-go. But as days passed, I understood the root causes of my issues and moved into the practices, I could able to release them due to Yoga Nidra sessions and expressive active meditation practices. It was fantastic experience to understand, learn and feel the step by step methods of Yoga Nidra practices as per traditional Yogic science and modern medical science point of view from Swami Samarth. It was a nice balance between passive and active practices of yoga and meditation. The teachings were very useful and helped to go deeper into practice at the same time learning the skill to teach them. Lot of kindness and softness in teaching by both meditation & yoga teachers that were much appreciated. The food and the staff were very nice and friendly. Very tasty and lovely food, really enjoyed.
