I’ve just completed a 200 hour HathaYoga Teacher Training Course at Yoga Essence Rishikesh. It is the place where I connect my heart with and start my inner journey. I find the asana class in the morning very useful for preparing the body for a full day of sitting in meditation postures. I really enjoyed all the practices and the fact that we did some of three more than three times to feel the effect and to go deeper into three. And practicing with totality and presence helps in understanding them better. I liked the fact that we did the practices first and then the theory part followed after because in this way, we focused more on the process than the outcome. The teachers were very clear and well prepared in the sessions. They were kind, compassionate and patient with us, they’ve adjusted the practices as well according to our needs. The team members are really nice and adorable, the services provided are excellent. The food is different every day and it was deliciously prepared, fresh and nutritious. Very good chef and the kitchen team were very nice as well.

As the improvements, I would suggest maybe one extra hour of asana practice per day for the yoga teacher training, before lunch time may be. Also, it would be nice to have some pads and a liquid for the students to clean the yoga mats themselves after each and every use.
