Samyak Yoga Shala

I feel very happy and lucky to be part of Samyak Yoga Teacher Training in Paris 2016 ! This course exceeded all my deepest expectations : I received all the keys and methods to share qualified Yoga classes, and it was an amazing human & spiritual experience. The teachers are very interesting and passionate, I learned so much with them about Yoga, philosophie, me & others, life and love, emotions, simple happiness "of the moment"... Thank you for this adventure that will remain as one of the most deep impacts of my life ! I highly recommend the teacher training with Samyak Yoga :-)

A truly transformative experience, physically and emotionally, my Mysore TTC with Samyak Yoga will remain one of the most incredible journeys I’ve ever taken. Truptah, Rakesh, Arvind, and Stephanie are beyond generous and always inspirational; in harmony, they are constantly encouraging. Thanks to them, I gained the necessary confidence to begin Hatha Yoga teaching and met my edge in all aspects of yoga, inside and out: the asanas, the philosophy and history, the pranayama, and in meditation. With a full heart and clear eyes, I encourage you to immerse yourself in this wondrous place with these wonderful teachers.

I feel very lucky to have been a student at Samyak. Pedagogy is wonderful, teachers are fantastic and it all makes you want to do more and more. I highly recommend their trainings. thank you Samyak, I am very grateful for this life changing experience.

I spent many hours researching the perfect 200 hour Hatha yoga TTC, and I found it with Samyak. This is serious school: you cannot go wrong in choosing to study with them. Samyak provide a quality teacher training course which, though intense, enables students to progress physically and intellectually, and which, notably, prepares them to teach straight away. Samyak have a well crafted syllabus which encompasses the core traditions of yoga philosophy and practices. This training course was a wonderful life affirming experience, made all the greater by the lovely students that I had the privilege to meet. I would like to thank our teachers, Stéphanie, Rakesh and Trupteesh for their kindness, patience, pedagogy and professionalism. I am conscious that this 200h training is just the first step on the enlightening yoga path; I hope to take further steps with Samyak by enrolling on their other courses. Namaste

Absolutly wonderful and life changing experience. I can't thank you guys enough for your great energy and excellent teaching skills. You showed me the path of my own happiness and gave me the tools to keep practicing. I really hope to see you again. Namaste

Samyak yoga offer a top quality training - it is intensive and really worth it. I enjoyed every single minute. Great teachers but not only great asanas teachers . They offer a good comprehension of yoga philosophy combined with other important practises. I suggest everyone to choose this training whenever you wish a full understanding of what is yoga deep inside. Namaste !

My ashtanga vinyasa teacher training with you will stay the best way to start a yogic life! You, Arvind, Trupta and Raqesh were able to put the "light on yoga" deeper in me, and I am so thankful for this. You did it all three of you in a different way: Trupta with his father energy, always available for us when need be, strong and soft in the same time, smiling, given us lots of great advices during the astanga morning practice and asana clinic: Even crazy dhouti! Arvind with his mother energy, always busy! his way to instruct us the philosophy is so fantastic, and his ALWAYS CRAY MEDITATION! You should all give it a try! you won't live it the same as you were before it! for sure! Raqesh: the brother energy: always speaking, speaking and speaking! He always has a good story to tell about yogi, ganesha (with rat and snake ^^), yogic history, etc. I will never have enough time to finish but it's ok! we all like it! If you want to go through a wonderful teacher training experience, you won't regret your choice with them! Especially in Mysore, when a dozen of monkey are looking you during your morning practice in the shala hahahahaha!!! Thank you so much for this life changing experience!

I did my 200 hours Ashtanga Yoga TTC in January. I spent so long searching for courses and couldn't really find what I was looking for. I was then recommended Samyak by a friend, and I am eternally grateful to her for sending me there. The course is incredibly well thought out and taught. The teachers, Stephanie, Truptesh, Arvind and Rakesh, have so much knowledge and experience, each bringing their own backgrounds and personalities to the course, which makes it such a rich learning experience. This course goes far beyond asana practise and you end up learning a lot about yourself and life too. The ashram is set in a beautiful and peaceful location on the banks of the river. You are surrounded by nature, but only a short drive to Mysore city centre. The food is also delicious. I recommend this course with my whole heart, I promise that you won't regret it.

An amazing experience and amazing teachers, sharing this month with you all make me feel so grateful and blessed, I can't wait to share and practice this precious wisdom around me !

Very greatful for a month amongst great people. The training is tightly crafted, wonderfuly driven by all teachers. Great experience that I highly recommend and that was decisive in my life.

The experience that I had with Samyak for my YTT- 200hr was just amazing! I was very selective while choosing a course, and the professionalism I felt when I looked at their website was confirmed during the course. The teachers - Rakesh and Arvind – are extremely committed, patient, prepared and also funny, easy-going, motivating us all the time and making everyone fell comfortable and able to learn and to teach. This was actually one of the things that attracted me the most about the course: you start teaching as of the second day. But there is nothing to worry about: they will prepare you very well for that, and day after day you can feel the confidence increasing. They teach with passion, they are funny and make us laugh a lot, providing such a great atmosphere! We had a very intense routine, but still, it was so fun to be there! I just loved the theory classes as much as the practices – and I can say that, for the first time in my life, waking up so early was not a problem at all, but a pleasure! Thank you so much for everything, Rakesh and Arvind! It was a blessing to have my YTT with you and with such a wonderful group! Namasté! I will see you again in Mysore! :)

I have just finished my Ashtanga yoga teacher training course. I did not know what to expect but tried not to ask myself many questions...In fact, it was beyond all expectations. The travelling to India was quiet an adventure, but really worth it! This past month has been so inspiring, full of emotions, sometimes hard, sometimes challenging and definitely beautiful...The teachers have so much wisdom and knowledge and are so ready and happy to share their love of yoga with you. I feel very privileged to have met them, as well as my co-students now friends whom have shared this amazing experience. My practice has improved a lot, I also feel grown on multiple levels and will always be a student on a true seeking journey, always looking for something new to learn...that is also what Samyak gave me. I could not thank Rakesh and Arvinda enough for their beautiful work, caring and understanding. I have truly found my path and the teacher within me. I'm very full of gratitude, happiness et love! My journey with Samyak is just at its beginning, now being part of a family I deeply admire and trust. -

I found Samyak through a friend who was going to do her teacher training in Dharamsala. I decided, on a whim, to go with her and do my training with them as well, after the place I had originally planned on canceled their TTC. I completely believe it was meant to be! I couldn't have been happier with my experience. After injuring myself within the first week (old injury that came back), I went on bed rest and watched for the next couple of weeks. I still felt good about the training I had received, but was disappointed in myself and my body for not being able to do the daily practices. I decided to stay a second month and do another TTC with them (first was Ashtanga, second in Hatha). After working through all my blockages in the first month, the second month was amazing and uplifting! I actually felt as though I was walking around on clouds! I met amazing people that I will never forget! And now, I am working on getting Samyak to come to the USA to teach workshops at my studio! I can't wait to see my yoga family again and get back to India as soon as possible!

My expectations with Samyak Yoga Teacher Training were 100% met. I will start with the first time I contacted Samyak yoga for inquiry, the communication was so clear and smooth, they responded to my emails within one or two days max and answered all my questions from the most to the less important with open heart, from the beginning they kept me updated on everything and I felt the positive energy which made me feel comfortable and proceed with registration. The teachers (Arvind and Rakesh) what can I say about them?!?!? They were more than just teachers (They are the YOGA HERO’s), they were so nice and understanding, they took care of all students equally and made us feel like we are home, they are highly committed to their work and inspiring, you can easily see the spark and the passion in their eyes. Besides, they have a high understanding and knowledge of yoga. They answered all our questions without hesitation or getting bored to repeat the same thing 10,000 times, they made sure that before we leave the class everything is clear to all students. The teaching methodology was great, it was balanced between being serious and committed with the practice and having fun, there was practical and theoretical classes which helped to deepen my knowledge in yoga and improve my own postures. Also, I have got the chance to teach in a group under a professional supervision which helped me to build my confidence and learn more about adjusting the poses and guide the student into the final pose. In addition we had the chance to sing with the group and have our play time as well. Furthermore, during my 21 days stay in Bali and completing 200 hours with Samyak yoga family, my yoga practice shifted to the next level, physically and spiritually, I met 14 wonderful souls from different cultures and I had the most wonderful and unforgettable experience in my life. I highly recommend Samyak yoga to anybody. Thank you so much for everything and I will certainly see you in Mysore, India.

Samyak Yoga are amazing! I could not have asked for more in a teacher training. I thoroughly enjoyed all the modules and gained so much understanding through the hands on adjustments. My time away with Samyak yoga totally change my way of thinking. The theory lessons provoked me to question and rethink a lot of my previous beliefs. Great school!

I feel very lucky i did my first ttc in hatha yoga with samyak. The whole experience was a big lesson in all the fields of my life. Inspiring teachers give all their love while sharing their knowledge. Focusing on the details makes the difference. But most important learning how to teach from your heart.. Thank you samyak!

am just finishing yoga teacher training in Bali with Samyak Yoga. I would highly recommend the course. The teachers are extremely committed and focused. Every minute is occupied with learning & the course is very practical in that teaching practice begins on day 2 of the course and increases daily; you are expected to work hard but you reap the benefits. Samyak yoga are very professional, and yet very personable at the same time. Teacher training with Samyak yoga has been a fantastic experience for me.

I never would have imagined the experience I have had with Samyak yoga. Personally, I have little experience with traveling, so going so far from home for an entire month was extremely scary for me. From the moment I applied to go to the teacher training, everyone at Samyak I interacted with made me feel like I was already part of the family. I always felt like I could email them with any question and would not only get a response within a day or two, but the kindness and love they had was remarkable. When I arrived in Dharamshala, I was immediately anxious and homesick. We had been traveling for so long and I felt completely out of my comfort zone. I thought "how can I stay here for an entire month?? What was I thinking?"...with those feelings I arrived for our first morning yoga practice...the entire 1.5 hours I tried holding back all the tears...still wanting to run away and hide. After class we went down for breakfast and our teacher sat next to us and started talking. All my fears, worries, anxieties melted away. I can't describe the love, acceptance, friendliness, and helpfulness that the teachers have shown us the entire time. You trust them immediately and know that all they have for you is love. You truly are part of their family. You're part of the Samyak family. It feels incredible. I also love that the teachers are extremely down to earth, they are genuine and I feel like anyone can relate to them, which is comforting in itself. In terms of what I have actually learned...well the amount of yoga we do is phenomenal. There is a morning ashtanga vinyasa class and then an evening vinyasa class where we practice specific asanas that we are having trouble with. I genuinely feel like my personal practice has made one giant leap in the right direction...I feel like I can have a daily personal practice which I had struggled with having before because I didn't have the knowledge or confidence in what I needed to be doing. I do now. I also have loved the yoga philosophy we have learned. My understanding of yoga as a philosophy and lifestyle is much deeper and I feel excited to really know more about living a yogic lifestyle and how to implement it. I was able to address so many mental, spiritual and emotional issues I've had in my past and that I currently have now. I can feel my thought process changing with each day. Finally, Samyaks teaching training program has made me feel so confident in actually being a teacher! From the second day you are in front of the class, teaching and also learning the proper language, alignment, and how to create an amazing atmosphere for your students. I have always been one who struggles with being scared to get up in front of a classroom, so to be honest I was dreading the teaching part haha. But I feel so EXCITED about teaching now. I believe in myself and that is definitely a remarkable change. I would 100% recommend Samyak yoga to anyone. It is not only an amazing program but words can't describe the love I have for my teachers. If anyone wants to know anything else please don't hesitate to message me!

Had one the best times of my life!!! Learnt a lot from the yoga hall and personally too. Thank you samyak !! Had an amazing time. Hope to see you soon again :)

All I can say is wow! This is the place to get a well-rounded, thorough, and compassionate education regarding yoga. Wouldn't have done my TTC anywhere else!

The best decision I ever made in my life was training with Samyak Yoga.

An experience rich and complete. A quiet strength and stability of trupteesh, flexibility and the humor of Rakesh, wisdom, and the conviction of arving, spontaneity and the expertise of Stephanie and of course the team "Kitchen and household" formidable have made this trip a success Perfect! All this in the magnificent setting of the region of Mysore, what more can you ask for... An additional month ;-)

Thank you to all the team for the teachings of high quality, pedagogy, the quality of lashram :) Thanks for the attentions and attentive listening.
