Namaste to all 💞 i was eager to take up my lessons with Yoga master Parveen Nair who's a personal family friend. As he frequently travels abroad.. i wasn't able to get him as my instructor but he personally recommended me to join Om Yoga Academy.. and when it comes from him.. it can never be wrong 😇 so i happily enrolled myself with this academy. I was with them for a whole month and it was simply beautiful.. had an amazing experience and it was indeed a perfect time no doubt the weather was absolutely cold!!!! i had the joy of meeting so many beautiful souls who enrolled themselves for the class too! 😍 Satveer ji our yoga master is such a delight n his beautiful wife Kelly ji who covers Anatomy n the Philosophy of Yoga is another amazing person and also a super efficient correspondent 👌 Sending much Love n Blessings to all who's reading this post right now 💖 Hari Om Tat Sat 😇read more

My 200hrs TTC is amazing one of the best experience of my life with great instructors Satveer & Kelly ji. They are excellent teachers and they teach with love and passion. The teaching and knowledge that are imparted of yoga,as well as the facilities and the food are very good. I have been taught asanas techniques in 28 days of time and core concept was aligning the body and shaping the postures. Attended Anatomy, Philosophy.Meditation, Pranayama & Teaching Methodology classes. I will always carry them in my heart. It's very good that they work with small groups of students, for which a personalized teaching is taught. I am glad that I have chosen OM YOGA ACADEMY for my TTC. I would surely recommend this academy to the world traveller's. Namaste.read more

My 200 hours teacher training course in Shatveer's Om Yoga Academy was a great experience for me. Thanks to teacher Shatveer's great motivation, his passion for yoga, his personal yoga skills and his talent in teaching these skills to others I learned more than ever before about asanas, mediation and breathing practice. His yoga hall was equipped perfectly with aids like ropes, chairs, blocks and blankets. We also attended courses in anatomy and philosophy. Also these teachers showed great personal motivation and knowledge. The anatomy lesson was structured really target-oriented as the teacher focused on subjects with great importance for our asana, meditation or breathing practice. The meals were really tasty and the school's guest rooms were clean and nice. I would like to say thanks a lot to the whole team for incredibly enriching 4 weeks and the warm atmosphere in Om Yoga Academy. I am looking forward to visit you now for the 300 hours teacher training course :-)read more

I completed the 200 hour yoga teacher training course at Om Yoga Academy in October, an incredible experience thanks to the hard work, dedication and kindness of Kelly, Satveer and their team. I have been practicing yoga on-and-off for ten years and I learnt so much. Not only did I learn anatomy, philosophy and asana, but I also deepened my understanding of myself and my body. I still find myself recalling Kelly's anatomy class and fixing my posture as I walk down the street! The course has been put together in such a methodical manner that is easy to follow and so interesting. The rooms are lovely and clean with everything you need. The food is beyond incredible! I also appreciated the convenience that everything is in the one building. The location is great with an organic supermarket 5 minutes up the road incase you need a little treat. Oh and the rooftop provides a fantastic view of Rishikesh. As the course only runs small groups you receive so much individual attention and you feel really looked after and cared for. There were locals attending some of the classes too, whom were absolutely lovely gave me such an interesting insight into Indian culture. I walked away from the course feeling amazing, with a strong foundation for teaching and so much information and resources to refer back to. I can't recommend this course enough.read more

My TTC at OM was not less than amazing. Instructors are highly experienced and generous humans. Being in a small group of students allows to have a very personal approach and we were really fortunate to have lots of attention at every single aspect of the course. Teachers brought me to go beyond my physical and mental own boundaries and I am grateful about that. Location is excellent, close to main street but still in a quiet hideaway. The building faces the beautiful mountains, and every morning you see the sunrise while practicing early. The rooms are super clean and spacious, the food is healthy and delicious. The guys from the staff are kind and they are always making everything is possible for students to be comfortable. After one month there, I was very sad to leave my new Indian family behind. Although, I know I would go back one day.read more

I finished the 100-hour course in December and I wanted to know more about yoga because I enjoyed the memories of learning yoga at om yoga academy. So in February I completed the 200-hour course at om yoga academy. I learned a lot thanks to the family atmosphere, friendly staff, and professional and warm teachers. The building was new and the room was clean. It was good to see the mountain when I opened the door. The building was always kept clean and there was no hygiene discomfort at all. The chef preparing the meal visited the dining hall at meal time and checked whether the meal suit students' taste. It was a meaningful month with guidance and warm encouragement from each teacher.read more
