The holy city of Rishikesh, in the base of the Himalayas, holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for local Hindus. Sacred rivers and mountains set the scene for yoga and reflective hikes, and rafting here is an absolute must. The Beatles got in touch with their Eastern spiritual side here, writing several songs during a 1968 stint at a local ashram.

Doing my 200 hour yoga & meditation teacher training course at the Mantra Yoga & Meditation School in Rishikesh is an experience I will never forget. I learned a lot about yoga, far beyond just the physical asana practice. We had a packed daily schedule including shatkarma, pranayama, ashtanga practice, philosophy, anatomy, alignment, vinyasa flow and meditation. But at the same time we had enough time to relax, see more of Rishikesh, and get to know others from our group. Every Sunday the school planned a fun trip to explore more of the surrounding areas, and we even had a dance party or two at the school which was a welcome change of pace during a wonderful but very challenging month. All of the teachers are extremely knowledgeable and supportive (and understanding when we had a million questions about something) and great at teaching at a level we could all understand. I definitely have a lot more to learn but this was a great start of my journey. A huge thank you to not just the teachers, but also the management team for making everything run smoothly, the phenomenal kitchen staff for feeding us the most delicious (and healthy food), and our wonderful photographer for documenting this entire month.

It was the best decision in my life, exactly what I was looking for in a TTC, and MUCH MORE. Vini is very passionate teacher, with long experience and really huge knowledge. You will learn with him a lot about yoga philosofy, anathomy, pranayama and asana practise, but what makes the difference with this TTC in my humble opinion is the way Vini teaches from his heart which is very touching, telling us in MANY different ways how YOGA is a powerful tool that helps us to live the life that WE WANT!! We are creators of our lifes, being awareness about how we use our mind and energy is so important and sometimes we forget it!! He also gave me a deeper understanding about the importance of the movement of the spine and futher, I really know after this month how to make safer my asana practise, with the proper movement in order to protect my spine. Very happy to meet Tina, who is wonderful teacher as well, lovely and supportive, and her classes very demanding and challenging!! Also Kota and Hiroko always very friendly and willing to help anytime. And all the Indian stuff who work in the Guess House are amazing. I can not feel more grateful and full of love after this month. It have been very intensive emotional, mental and physical, but in only one month with discipline, hard work and the proper ayurvedic food you will see BIG changes in your body for sure, but also mind and energy! My approuch of life have changed a lot, I can see and feel the beauty everywhere!! I am very happy with this experience, very powerfull!! I really recomend this TTC... A way back to life.... Thanks, thanks and thanks. Arigato, Namasteeee. Mirian

I've visited many spas in Rishikesh and this is definately the best for deeply relaxing, re-energizing , healing ayurvedic treatments with highly skilled therapists at a great value for money price. Vedic Ayurved Treatments Spa is super conveniently located in town right on the highway so it is very easily accessible. This spa is very neat and clean and the temperature was just perfect with air conditioning. It was such a relief walking into this cool and refreshing oasis from the intense heat outside and peacefully quiet inside with just the soft sound of beautifully soothing music playing. Vedic Ayurved Treatment Spa is truly a magical sacred heart space sanctuary where you can reconnect with yourself...to nurture, nourish and heal your body, mind, heart and soul... From the first moment we walked in, and every time, we were greeted with such a welcoming warmth and the joyful hospitality of Mona and Happy who made us feel like we were guests visiting dear friends in their own home. My experience visiting VATS ( Vedic Ayurved Treatments Spa) was definately one of the highlights of my trips to India! If you want to try authentic traditional ayurvedic treatments that are deeply restorative and rebalancing, you will be in expert hands with the professional staff here. I had the best Shirodhara treatment and Uzhichil massages that i have ever had. I left feeling in a blissful state bathed in serenity like i was floating on clouds with a singing heart. Mona is an excellent, very talented Panchakarma therapist with beautiful calming energy and an incredibly soothing yet intuitively firm touch. Mona personalizes your treatment and the pressure according precisely to what your body needs. My treatments with Mona were deeply healing, very clearing and rejuvenating. I was able to fully let go and i felt fully back at home with myself in harmony. Mona's massages are very addictive and so is the delicious chai made especially for you by the owner Happy from his own incredible secret recipe. I asked Happy what the ingredients were and he replied that the most important ingredient is always Love...how true is that! And a true reflection of the treatments and staff here. Happy has a great uplifting energy, a wealth of helpful knowledge and a heart of pure gold...i had a serious health issue arise just prior to finding Vedic Ayurved and i was considering flying home to Australia for treatment but Happy guided us reassuringly to the best local doctor and hospital in town, organized transport and advised us how to smoothly resolve some issues we were having with the management of our accommodation due to my unexpected health condition. Thanks to Happy i was able to stay and finish my yoga teacher training and enjoy my holiday in Rishikesh. I am forever grateful that this generous sweet spirited man also arranged treatment for a badly injured calf i found. Happy went out of his way to help me effortlessly and without hesitation when no one else would. Luckily for this blessed baby bull, this story had a Happy ending, literally! As a Herbalist, Natural Wholistic Beauty Therapist, Aromatherapist and Crystal Healing Chakra Balancing Practitioner myself with 27 years experience in leading health retreats and 5 star resorts i highly recommend VATS for an amazing out of this world experience...truly heaven on earth. You won't find better. That's a promise! If you are lucky enough to be travelling around Beloved India right now, now would be the perfect time to "cherish the now" and go to Vedic Ayurved Treatments Spa for some much needed COVID stress relief. Set your spirit free and let your heart soar.

Rishikesh vinyasa yoga school offered me an unbelievable experience in Rishikesh. It was my first YTT, and I already want to go back there. I learned a lot about yoga ( thanks to amazing teachers!); But also about myself, being present and patient. Every day I woke up (early!!!) excited to find out what I was going to learn, and to spend time with my classmates. The staff is very kind , familiar , and so professional. Living such an unique experience with people from all around the world, for one month , is the best way to create real connections, in a new culture , far from our usual routine. It was like a bubble life :) I recommend this school and I can't wait to go back there and keep learning about the beautiful world of Yoga. Thank you so much. Namaste ????

After spending weeks researching various yoga schools in Rishikesh I made my choice to study at Jeevmoksha for a 200-hour yoga teacher training course. I was glad I made this choice as it allowed me to have a truly amazing experience while learning about yoga and its philosophy. The structure of the 4 week long course is very organized and allows for the absorption of materials and knowledge in a straight forward way. There are various teachers who have their own way of conducting class so you never get bored or frustrated. The accommodation is very modern with adequate facilities located away from the noise and pollution of the city. The daily warm meals were delicious and prepared with kindness. After the 4 week course I noticed a positive change in my physical body with a greater sense of mental awareness about the things around me. I hope to use the knowledge I gained to further benefit those in need in the future. I would highly recommend this yoga school for anyone coming from the United States or Europe. Its an amazing community with humble and gracious people. Aleksander

It was just an amazing experience in Akshi for one month. Staff there are super kind, they help you whatever you ask. Teachers are really great and full of wisdom. Just feel that I learned a lof of English, about life, about yoga and especially mental and spirituel thing. Like the reguler and simple life there. Woke up early and have a moderate life. That is what we are lacking of in this busy daily life now. Felt great to keep far away of capital life for a while. School is really like a home for me, a sweet home, a big family. I feel really warm and touched during my stay. I hope that I can come back here for 300 hours in the future.

I have a spinal problem and have experienced many massages while travelling the world, good and bad. As a lone female, I would normally choose to go to a female but I went to Vicky because he has a good reputation and I needed help from someone who knows what they are doing. I was not disappointed! He is absolutely the BEST I have experienced. EVER. I have seen him three times whilst in Rishikesh and he is definitely one of the reasons to come back! I felt completely safe, relaxed and confident in his hands. He really knows and understands the body and responds exactly to what you need, without words, he just feels it. He is extremely blessed to have such healing hands, he follows his intuition and is literally magic. Thankyou Vicky ????????
