Roshan, Rajesh, Dilip, Nikhil, Deepti, Himanshu, the entire kitchen crew, and the rest of the staff exemplify love through their service at the yoga center. Abhayaranya is certainly a place for self discovery through the earnest practice of yoga. The ripple effect of Abhayaranya and Rishikesh yog peeth reaches far and wide spreading well being and love to all. Our group experienced transformation on the individual level and left feeling more connected to our true nature. The food at Abhayaranya is delicious and good for the body! The kitchen crew is the heart beat of Abhayaranya. The environment and people allow a space conducive to finding more understanding of oneself. The flowers were absolutely beautiful all over the center too! The management were extremely flexible in accommodating us and our changing schedule.

Here is what Anna Michel a student of 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training has to say about Arohan Yoga Teacher Training Centre 

The teachers are amazing, open-minded, and very supportive: a big thank to all of you. They showed us that we are more capable than we think and imparted an enormous amount of knowledge and wisdom. They were very patient and always searching for solutions. They considered our straights and weaknesses (mental, cognitive, and physical). At the Arohan Yoga School, I've learned incredible things and beautiful people. Warm and powerful energy surrounded us daily. It is worth to experience this beauty.
There is almost anything I did not like. When something was not my taste or differed to my beliefs and ideas, I've learned to open my heart, accept, and be happy with it. Or I've searched for solutions and acted accordingly. The whole Arohan Family (teachers and owners), as well as other students, supported me in going that way. Indeed, there are some things which I, as a Western citizen, did not understand or did not like. However, the thing here is not to like or not like something but rather learn diversity and enjoy it. And everything has a meaning of why things are the way they are. Arohan School enabled me to experience that and am very thankful for this gift which is not on the service list. My conclusion is everything that Arohan promises will be realised. I would always recommend Arohan Yoga School from professional and human aspects. Try it and learn to go beyond your limitations and mindset - overcome your obstacles. This School is a great place to learn to become beautiful and live a beautiful life. Thank you so much.
