Vijay and Aravind from Universal Yoga Center were my absolute favorite yoga teachers in Arambol, Goa. Vijay was teaching the first series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga (lead class). He is a very impressing practitioner and teacher. Aravind guided great Ashtanga Mysore Style classes, slow and with amazing adjustments. There are mostly several people adjusting. I also loved his Hatha Yoga Classes in the afternoon. I took part in the Teacher Training and deeply enjoyed the month with the whole team, learning and laughing a lot! Thanks so much Vijay and Team, can't wait to come back! 🙂

This visit was my second and excellent as the previous one. A class with vijay is not only a very good class where one is instructed and corrected, but also a chance to watch a gifted yogi in action-his physical abilities are unbelievable. He also flavors the class with a some singing and a bit philosophy, which are another add-on to an ordinary class.

I practiced yoga with Vijay in Goa and I was so impressed by his teaching that I followed him up to Dharamsala. After some time attending his classes I decided to do his teacher training course. The teacher training was Amazing and my friend and I, who did it together, both felt that Vijay shared all his knowledge, time and energy with us without reservation. The course was wonderful and I was given lots of opportunity to teach at the weekends during the couse and as soon as I finished the course I was ready to teach and felt very confident in my knowledge and teaching ability. Vijay is a great teacher and a very inspiring yogi with a beautiful and elegant yoga practice.

I feel lucky that Vijay has traveled all the way from India giving me and others who have never been able to go to India an opportunity to study with him. His knowledge on this practice is vast and you always leave class knowing something you didn't know coming in. I highly recommend studying with him if you have the opportunity, especially if you're wanting to deepen your yoga practice and knowledge!

Vijay and his team offer an excellent yoga teacher training course. They are highly skilled and knowledgable, and they take good care of their students. I can't wait to return to take more classes with Vijay and his team!

Vijay is an amazing teacher - I have been taking classes with him for over ten years AND that includes traveling to India to see him. He teaches a wonderful Ashtanga Vinyasa class - if you have the chance to visit and train with him in Yoga Teacher Training DO IT!!! He is amazing ...

After an intensive month of teacher training at the Universal Yoga Centre in Dharamsala, I would highly recommend learning yoga with UYC. Vijay and Aravind are excellent teachers and provide a professional, friendly and encouraging environment in which to learn yoga. The YTT-200 course is well structured with a good balance of theory and practice. Morning pranayama and ashtanga classes bring an invigorating start to the day, followed by insightful theoretical classes and self-study time early afternoon. The special classes are particularly challenging, with practice focusing on back bending, hip openings, transitions and inverted postures. The day often winds down with hatha class and chanting, providing relaxation and calm into the early evening. The assistant team are very helpful and give great adjustments to correct alignment and deep into the postures. Overall the teacher training helped to strengthen my practice and I’m extremely grateful to Vijay, Aravind and the assistant team for sharing their skills with me. UYC provides a great combination of beautiful locations, excellent teaching and the opportunity to meet and learn with other dedicated and friendly fellow yogis. UYC is an excellent yoga school and their teacher training course is well worth all the challenges it brings.

Vijay is an amaxing teacher, I learn so much from this cours! All the others teachers are also very prefetional and we learnded so much. The philosophy and metrology were my favorits. If you want to deepen your knowledge in yoga and become a teacher this is the place!

I had the opportunity to do the TTC here in Jan 2017 and I'm so grateful for it. Vijay and his team have a strong message to teach, I still miss the practice with him, Aravind and Sandy. The assistants give amazing adjustments. It is a serious and autenthic School I will suggest to everyone. I have also been back to Vijay in Dharamsala as well and I can't wait to have time to meet him and his team again! Don't hesitate and go practise there! :-)
