We took a 7 day Pranayama course with Soma. We learnt a lot thanks to his great know-how in this field. Recommend it to everyone who’s either new and highly motivated to learn a lot, or already has some basic knowledge of various concepts of Pranayama.

Ho frequentato in India a Rishikesh il mio corso di formazione insegnanti di yoga di 200 ore, un’esperienza intensa che mi ha arricchita non soltanto dal punto di vista della pratica, ma anche sul piano personale e interiore. Desidero ringraziare in particolare i miei maestri Maiuri e Raul, che ho apprezzato per la loro preparazione, la passione e la disponibilità nel trasmettere le loro conoscenze. Le loro lezioni mi hanno permesso di approfondire diversi aspetti dello yoga, della respirazione, dell’allineamento delle posture e della filosofia yogica. Questo percorso mi ha dato l’opportunità di mettermi alla prova, superare alcune difficoltà e scoprire nuove risorse personali. Tornare a casa con il diploma di insegnante di yoga di 200 ore rappresenta per me un traguardo importante, ma soprattutto l’inizio di un nuovo cammino. Porterò con me gli insegnamenti ricevuti, le esperienze vissute in India e le persone che hanno contribuito a rendere questo viaggio significativo.❤️❤️ Grazie maestri Maiuri e Raul per il contributo che avete dato alla mia formazione e alla mia crescita personale.❤️❤️❤️

My name is Ruby, and I’m from France. 🇫🇷 I recently completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Course at Swaastik Yog School in Rishikesh, and it was such a beautiful and transformative experience. The classes were well-structured, informative, and inspiring. I learned so much about yoga, asanas, pranayama, meditation, and yogic philosophy. The teachers were knowledgeable, supportive, and always ready to help us improve. Every day brought something new, and I feel more confident in my yoga practice and understanding. One thing I especially admire is that Swaastik Yog School is a women-owned school. It was inspiring to see a woman lead and create such a welcoming space for students from all over the world. The atmosphere felt warm, peaceful, and friendly, and I truly felt like I was part of a family. I’m grateful for all the beautiful memories, the amazing people I met, and the knowledge I gained here. If you’re looking for an authentic yoga experience in Rishikesh, I highly recommend Swaastik Yog School. ❤️ Thank you for everything! 🙏

I found this Pranayama course completely by chance, and I honestly feel incredibly grateful that I did. It truly feels like a gift from life. Somashekar Ji is an amazing teacher. His dedication, knowledge, and the amount of information he shares throughout the course are truly remarkable. You can really feel how much time, experience, and care he has put into creating and teaching this course. The theory is very detailed and gives you a much deeper understanding of Pranayama, but what I loved the most is the quality of the practices. Everything is very well structured and progressively built, which made a huge difference in my learning and in my personal practice. I can genuinely feel how much I have progressed since starting the course. Thank you so much, Somashekar Ji 🙏 I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to truly understand and experience the depth of Pranayama. Hari om ✨

Had a wonderful experience with the 200 RYS program! It taught me so much more about yoga than I initially expected, going far beyond just the physical practice. The staff are incredibly friendly and supportive, and the chef here makes delicious vegetarian food! I’m also very grateful to have shared this experience with such a wonderful group of classmates :)

I had a wonderful learning experience at Swastik Yoga School, Rishikesh. I completed my Sound Healing and Aerial Yoga training here, and I am truly grateful for the knowledge, guidance, and support I received throughout the course. The entire environment of the school was peaceful, safe, clean, and perfect for learning and self-growth. The food was fresh, healthy, delicious, and prepared with great care, which made my stay even more comfortable. The classes were well-structured, engaging, and highly informative. A special thanks to Mayuri Ma'am for her excellent teaching, patience, and constant encouragement. She explained every concept clearly and made learning both enjoyable and meaningful. I would also like to sincerely thank Ranjana, the Yoga Instructor, for her professional guidance, positive attitude, and supportive nature. She made every practice enjoyable while ensuring that everyone learned with confidence and proper technique. The entire staff was incredibly cooperative, kind, and always ready to help. Their hospitality and dedication made me feel welcomed from the very first day. I highly recommend Swastik Yoga School to anyone looking for authentic training in Yoga, Aerial Yoga, or Sound Healing. It is an excellent place to learn, grow, and experience a positive and nurturing environment. Thank you to the entire team for making this journey so memorable. I look forward to visiting again in the future.

Learning Yoga Philosophy with Somshekar Sir was an exceptional experience. He brings his many years of experience and devotion to the subject and selflessly and joyfully imparts the knowledge with you. In only one month, I learnt about the vast knowledge Yoga, including in depth understandings of what yoga means, many yoga sutras, types of yogas, etc. Not only that, we learnt far beyond that - types of philosophies, Vedic Literatures, the different stages of life, human goals. Everything was taught in a practical way that I will be able to apply to my life on an everyday basis - and the horizons of my mind have surely expanded in a short period of time. Somshekhar Sir loves his subject and to teach, and that is easily recognizable in his classes. He has a deep understanding of the subject and gives us an authentic experience, recalling all yoga sutras in Sanskrit and breaking them down, bit by bit. All types of questions are welcome and entertained for discussion. Somshekhar Sir also gives each student opportunities to partake in discussions and share our own knowledge and learnings with the class, which made the sessions more enjoyable. Very grateful to be his student! 😊

I had a fantastic experience during my Aerial TTC with mayuri and Ranjana. The training was professional, comprehensive, and truly inspiring. From beginner-friendly guidance to advanced techniques, every session was taught with patience, clarity, and professionalism. The instructors were supportive, knowledgeable, and always encouraged us to do our best while prioritizing safety. I gained valuable skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of aerial yoga. I would definitely recommend this TTC to anyone passionate about aerial yoga and looking for high-quality teacher training. Thank you for such an amazing and unforgettable experience!

I had philosophy classes with Somaji during my 200 YTT and I’d recommend him as a yoga philosophy. He’s is very knowledgeable on Sanskrit, and taught us deep concepts on Indian literature, vedas, and the yoga sutras of Patanjali. He’s very passionate about the subject and care deeply of the students are understanding the concepts. namaste

Last March, I took a 3-day course at Anantadrishti Yoga focused on pranayama and yoga philosophy. Soma has an incredible depth of knowledge and teaches with great passion, kindness and patience. I especially appreciated how he helped me take notes, as Sanskrit and Hindi terms can be challenging for beginners. It was a truly authentic and inspiring learning experience that deepened my understanding of yoga beyond the physical practice. Highly recommended. Dhanyavaad!

I did my 200 YTTC and i loved it! The teachers are very experienced, Mayuri and Rahul are amazing and pass on the knowledge very well. The classes are demanding and you learn so much and understand more about phylosophy, alignment, yog itself and everything there is. I have a lower back injury and had many knees injuries as Well and was afraid it could be a problem but i was guided in the way that my body feels more functional and stronger then ever. The atmosphere in the school is also great and I’m extremely happy and grateful for the people i have met. 100%%%% recommend You come here once and you will keep coming back, trust me 😝

Florencia made me feel deeply safe, supported, and truly held throughout the entire experience. Her energy was incredibly warm, calming, and nurturing from the very beginning. I had the opportunity to take a breathwork session combined with Tibetan singing bowls, and it was absolutely beautiful. The sound of the bowls was mesmerizing and grounding, creating a space where I could fully relax and let go. By the end of the session, my body felt lighter, more open, and completely at ease. It was a truly special and transformative experience that I would highly recommend.

wow.. i have made family, friends and home at Swastik! And learning yoga the correct way - from local Indians the right way (the Indian way). I would take this course over again! But instead - I’ll come for the 500hour YTT next year 🤲🏼😃 i have no words to describe how the 200h YTT has left me. Not only was it a physical and emotional transformative experience, it helped me to transcend my persona and I believe I have made lifelong friends thanks to the March 2026 batch. Mayuri has made Swaastik a place that pulls you in and makes you want to practice more, challenge yourself and see where the yoga journey will help you. Rahul-ji’s calm but knowledgable hatha yoga sessions will also make you sweat, huff and puff but be very very grateful for it all afterwards. Thank you so much and I definitely recommend taking your yoga course here!! Be it yoga teacher training, sound healing course or aerial yoga! I think if you come to Swaastik with an open mind and heart, ready to learn about yoga and push yourself a little bit of it - it will be the best experience for you! Breathwork & Sound Bath with Flor - I also experienced this during my time in Swaastik Yogschool. It was a truly tranformative experience! I felt sensations and emotions I have not otherwise felt before and thanks to the facilitator Flor - she opened up this new world for me. I am grateful for her calm and down to earth approach, which immensely helped me to feel comfortable and not worried, since I was a bit stressed cuz it was my first time trying something like this. I recommend this to anyone who’s around in Rishikesh and wants to try something new for their spirituality :)

Though I wish I could be a gatekeeper, it would be wrong to not share how remarkably wonderful the curriculum and team at Swaastik Yog School are. Ranjana, Rahul, and the head mistress Mayuri are phenomenally warm, insightful, and with you each step of your journey. My experience was so lovely, I’ve already made arrangements to return for a 500YTTC this fall. The price point is almost unfair, as the program was so rich, and the meals (with views) were so delicious. My favorite element of the curriculum was the Philosophy component, as I’d never known about the Gita prior to this visit. If you are looking for an intellectually rich, physically challenging, and socially warm experience as you complete your yoga teacher training, don’t walk, RUN, to Swaastik! Thank you so much again to your incredible team! (I’ve added pictures of some of the delicious Ayurvedic yogi meals they serve, as I’m sure many of you are wondering as I was prior to my visit :) )

Doing my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Swaatik Yoga School in Rishikesh was honestly one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. The environment is incredibly peaceful and welcoming, which made it so easy to disconnect from everything outside and fully immerse myself in the practice. From the very beginning, I felt safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. The classes are intense, but in a very balanced and thoughtful way. You can really feel that the teachers are invested in your personal journey, not just in delivering the content. And Mayur… she’s truly amazing. Such a strong and inspiring woman, yet so warm and present at the same time. Her classes were some of the most impactful moments of the entire experience for me. One of the things that made this training even more special was being in an all-women group. It created such a deep sense of connection and a safe, supportive space that I had never experienced before. It really wasn’t just a course, it felt like a deep inner journey. If you’re considering doing your training, I genuinely recommend this place from my heart <3

I had a truly enriching time at Swaastik Yog School. All the teachers were wonderful, each bringing their own passionate approach to yoga and being genuinely eager to share their knowledge and experience with the students. The programme offers a great variety of classes, including Hatha, Ashtanga, alignment, mantra, pranayama and yoga philosophy. It was particularly nice to experience different styles and approaches, deepen my understanding of yoga and even get the chance to try aerial yoga! The school has a very personal atmosphere and feels more like a little family than just a yoga school. It starts with the authentic, home-cooked food, which is healthy, nourishing and easy on the body, giving you the energy to get the most out of your classes. And then there are the sweet dogs, who seem to take their role as protectors very seriously, keeping an eye on everyone and occasionally chasing away the cute little monkeys that like to pay unexpected visits! Beyond the yoga classes, we had some wonderful experiences together, including a wedding celebration, yoga by the Ganges, meditation in a cave and a visit to Ganga Aarti. The location is also ideal, situated between Upper and Lower Tapovan in Rishikesh, making everything within easy reach. You can enjoy the lively atmosphere of the area while still having a peaceful place to return to. The garden is lovely, and being able to watch the sunrise over the mountains from the rooftop every morning is something special. I am very grateful for the time I spent here. It is a place with a lot of heart and wonderful people.

Feeling so blessed and grateful that life brought me to such an incredible teacher. 🙏✨ A truly authentic yogi, with such profound wisdom, beautiful energy, and a genuine connection to the essence of yoga. It’s rare to meet someone who doesn’t just teach yoga but truly lives it. Some people cross our paths for a reason, and I believe meeting him was one of those beautiful gifts from the universe. 🤍 If you’re interested in pranayama and want to experience something beyond just breathing techniques, I wholeheartedly recommend taking his course. So much gratitude for this experience. 🙏🕉️

I’ve left Rishikesh feeling lighter than when I arrived, and I’m taking so much from these two months with me. Thank you, Soma, for sharing your knowledge, your practice and your kindness. Until we meet again. 🙏🏻

Time flies! It feels like I just stepped into school yesterday and now I'm graduating. From the first day of yoga when my body was so stiff that I would tremble during some poses 🥶, to after 24 days feeling my body gradually relax and achieve these yoga poses, I especially love chanting mantras because it's so relaxing. Thank you, teachers, I've learned so much and I'm so happy.

I had an incredible experience at Swaastik Yog School during the June batch, where I completed both the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training and the Aerial Yoga Teacher Training. The entire journey was well-structured, inspiring, and transformative. The teachers were highly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely dedicated to every student’s growth. The 200-hour TTC covered yoga philosophy, anatomy, alignment, pranayama, meditation, and teaching methodology in depth, while the Aerial Yoga course was fun, safe, and professionally taught, helping me build confidence with every practice. The peaceful atmosphere, delicious sattvic meals, and supportive community made me feel at home throughout the course. Every day brought new learning, personal growth, and meaningful connections with students from different parts of the world.🌺 I am deeply grateful to the entire Swaastik Yog School team for creating such a positive and authentic learning environment. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a genuine yoga education, whether you’re beginning your journey or advancing your practice. Thank you for making my June training such a memorable and life-changing experience!💗☺☺🙏🙏

Saawstik is an amazing school for those looking to learn in a safe and non predatory environment. The master teacher is a woman and it’s female owned- maybe the only or one of the only places like this in Rishikesh. The classes are very good and I deeply enjoyed doing my Aerial TTC as well as my 200H course here. I found that after some time, the staff and faculty became like family and the food was made vegan and even non spicy for us upon request. It’s affordable and fair; meaning this is more yoga practice and less of a business to make money and just hand out certificates. It was a big contrast to several other schools we scouted before choosing. I’m grateful that I chose to come here.

I took a 7 day pranayama course with Somashekar and I recommend it to anyone looking to dive deeper into pranayama & breathwork. The course consisted of 1.5 hour pranayama practice in the mornings and 2.5 hour lessons in the evening where he went through the breathwork in detail, explaining the physiology, anatomy, theory, and techniques behind all the practices. We dove into bhandas, mudras, mantras, and chakras for each breath practice, observing the changes in our bodies and learning about them to be able to instruct others. He’s extremely knowledgeable, whether you’re new to the practice or an advanced practitioner, you will gain a lot from this course. I’ve noticed such a difference in my energy, body, mental state, and personal practice after just 1 week! His course is also significantly more affordable than a lot of the other bigger / more publicly marketed schools I looked into (I toured several schools). Totally recommend!

I joined the evening meditation class and I was extremely happy with my experience. The meditation was well structured and the instructions were clear and easy to follow which made it easy for me to clear my mind and connect. Afterwards the instructor took the time to answer all of my questions and explained the meditation and it's benefits in detail which I really appreciated. He is very knowledgeable and I would have loved to take one of his philosophy classes had I had the time before leaving the area. I highly recommend this studio!!

The teacher Somashekara is really good, took time to explain about techniques and the philosophy beneath, as well as a very good guide for the practice. We also had some practice by the Ganga river - that were also a great and powerful experience! Totally recommended

I have come to Rishikesh in the month os jn and spend my 500hour TTC plus I got motivated to do aerial TTC here although being a man all female teachers doing and managing school and teaching with full precision and techniques which I haven't seen in Rishikesh at all ,I didn't come to do here as career but after spending two months and taking the knowledge I am ready to teach and learn also the teachers climate was very homely food was normal satvic which is necessary for the course so I have no complaints overall I am happily being in this school

Under unexpected circumstances, a short visit to Rishikesh turned into a longer stay. Having some background in yoga, I was introduced to Swaastik by a friend, and I am so glad that I found it!! I joined the Ashtanga class daily (on a drop-in basis). Mayuri's instruction, attention, corrections and encouragement created a high-level, enjoyable experience for me. I felt included, and there was no issue at all that I was not part of a full program (like the rest of the students). Very grateful for this. Hoping to return.

I had an amazing life altering experience in Rishikesh earning my 200 ytt certificate from Swaastik yog school. All the staff were amazing and I left feeling like im leaving behind family. The classes were thoughtful and challenging. The corrections were personal and suited to support teaching yoga on your own. I absolutely recommend this yoga hall to all. Be it class, retreat or training.
