Samatva Yogalaya - Rishikesh | Yoga School

It was truly one of the best experiences of my life to train and study with Krishna and become a part of his yoga family. I've learned more than I ever thought possible over the course of my 500h yoga teacher training. The knowledge I gain about my self, life, and all the aspects of yoga is beyond value. The experiences I shared will remain with me for the rest of my life and I am so thankful for that!

We get what we deserve and I feel truly blessed to deserve such wonderful teachers. When you enter into Samatva Yogalaya, you enter into the house of yoga. No doubt Krishna and Sangeeta teach you asana, pranayama, philosophy, anatomy and everything you need to know; but here you are not only a student, you are treated as a family member and you get to experience the yogic life with these kind and humble people. You learn about equanimity and awareness. You learn what Yoga really is. I am grateful to be part of this yogic family! P.S.: The food is amazing!!

"You get what you deserve" says Krishna. In the Internet maze of hundreds of yoga schools in India, I was searching for one to go to, and I found his school. Somehow, virtually, I was drawn to it and I enrolled on the 200h YTT course for October 20017. I feel honoured that I deserved to meet Krishna and become a part of his yoga family. Krishna is an ocean of knowledge, an oasis of peace and his heart is a goblet full of genuine love. And he shares all of this with each and every single one of his students, whom he treats like members of his family. Time spent with Krishna and Sangeeta was for me life changing. Not only have I learnt many aspects of yoga, but most of all, I learnt about myself, I expanded my horizons and acceptance. I took Krishna's teachings home and even now, over a year after the course, I can still hear his voice and teachings in moments of my life when turbulences occur. Samatva Yogalaya is definitely the best place to come to learn yoga, acceptance, gratitude and positivity. The building is placed in stunning surroundings, peaceful and quiet. The food is also delicious every time. Thank you Krishna and Sangeeta.

I had the best experience at Samatva Yogalaya with those amazing teachers Krishna and Sangeeta! I arrived there to do the 200hours and being sure I would never teach. I just wanted to improve my own practice and reconnect with my inner self. I ended up staying almost 3 months, doing the 500hours in 1 go and being all excited about teaching what I've learned. It's a real family atmosphere, the philosophy classes are amazing , the food is great, the location is perfectly isolated in the trees but close to the cafes and shops, the rooms are big and comfortable, the teachers are very talented and invested, ... I am looking forward to going back and meet again with my indian family. Thank you for everything Krishna and Sangeeta. You brought me a lot of love and taught me a lot.

While nearly all websites for Teacher Trainings in India are the same, this school Samatva Yogalaya and it's principal teacher Krishna are definitely unique. I was lucky enough to be the second batch of 300h students at his new school, and it was definitely one of the best choices I have made in my life. One can gather, by reading through these reviews of Krishna and his (relatively new) school, Samatva Yogalya, that he is a very special person and an amazing teacher. While there are many good teachers in India and Rishikesh, Krishna stands out beautifully, because of his most sincere dedication to yoga -as perfection in all action- and to the spiritual growth and progress of his students, before ever thinking about the business side of things. Having learned the scriptures from a young age; being blessed with a near photographic memory; having studied medicine for some time (and thus intimately knowing the human body) make Krishna a uniquely gifted teacher of yoga. In the middle of a demonstration he can quote any of the important yoga scriptures in both Sanskrit and English, complete with verse and chapter number, while at the same time he is keen to investigate and discuss anything from a scientific perspective. This already makes Krishna one of the best teachers I have encountered anywhere in the world, but what makes him stand above anyone I have encountered is his wisdom and his good heart, which naturally reflects in the way he treats his students, being family to any true student.
