"My life has transformed"
What I experienced @ Yoga Essence, cannot be described in words. You need to feel it, to manifest it, to express it, to dance, to cry, to laugh, to scream, to jump, to understand what Swami is trying to bring with his course.
I am fortunate that I have been one of his student. Was a magical experience about life, mind, body and soul. About how to go deeper and deeper into meditation, and how to let go.
Because if you want to be a teacher, how you can stabilize others, if you dont stabilize yourself? You need to help yourself first, in order to help others.
Love is the way!
Namaste.

"Great experience of real meditation "
It was more than I expected! Samarth is a Teacher whose main purpose is to share his knowledge. He kindly gives you all the experience he's learnt. I discovered so many things to myself. So many wonderful insights.. The yoga essence team became my family for two weeks I spent there. There’s not enough words to express all my gratitude! And I hope I’ll come back again for a longer practice. Namaste 🙏

"Eine tiefgehende Erfahrung "
Vielen Dank an das wundervolle Team um Swamiji und yoga Essence für eine tiefe und berührende Erfahrung. Ich habe an dem Yoga Nidra TTC teilgenommen und bin überwältigt von der tiefen Erfahrung die ich hätte ich gern den gesamten 200h Meditations TTC besucht. Die Yoga Nidra Praxis ging wesentlich tiefer als erwartet und als ich es vorher kannte, eine unglaublich heilsame, tief entspannende und wunderbare Praxis. Der gesamte Unterricht war sehr abwechslungsreich, ich habe so viele verschiedene neue Meditationsübungen kennengelernt über die ich sehr dankbar bin.
Die Lehrer sind absolut hinreißend. Ein großes Geschenk ist auch Joy der mit soviel Freude und Hingabe die Asana Stunden leitet. Swamiji steht jedem seiner Schüler beratend zur Seite, nimmt sich Zeit für jeden einzelnen für persönliche Gespräche.
Das Essen ist hervorragend, die Betten gemütlich und das gesamte Team hilfsbereit und hinreißend.

"TWO FINE WEEKS WITH OURSELVES"
Together with my daughter I did the 15 day’s life transformation-course with yoga and meditations. We choose for this course because we want to go deeper than just a yoga-vacation. And we did go deeper: swami is very good in to coordinate the different types of meditation and music. We learned a lot, about yoga- and meditation technics and about ourselves. Most of the meditations are with music, which I found very nice. The place in Rishikesh is very nice: a very beautiful garden with three small buildings (hotel, yoga-hall, restaurant). It was very handy to sleep en eat at the same place as the course. And, the lively and colorful city is only 100 meters away. Swami explains about the meaning of silence and sounds, it was the red dread through the course. Every day we had two lessons yoga – assana’s. My body is more flexible than I came! The two teachers did their best.
We grateful thank the whole team for the two very special weeks in Yoga Essence!
