Student Reviews
What our graduates say about training in Rishikesh
Unedited words from the people who trained and stayed with us — grouped by the course they took, so you can read the ones that describe the training you are actually considering rather than a pile that averages them.
These are Hariom Yoga Vidya School reviews in the students' own words, reproduced exactly as they were written, typos included. Anyone comparing yoga teacher training Rishikesh reviews should read them grouped rather than as one list, because a school's best review says nothing about the course you are booking. And if you arrived searching for the best yoga school in Rishikesh, reviews are the one part of this site the school did not write.

“I'm so grateful to be part of Hariom Yoga Vidya School family! I enjoy all the classes. The experience at the Himalayas excursions was fantastic and unforgettable! I found my inner peace and increased my spirituality being here in Rishikesh and of course at Hariom Yoga Vidya School. All the teacher are experienced and skillful. The head teacher Pramod and his wife Sona are so kind, everyone is so friendly and kind. I also enjoy Indian food. I'll come back for sure! Simon”

The schedule of the training was very well though through, therefore both beginners and advanced practitioners could catch up. The rooms were very clean and neaty. Everybody was lovely.

“We completed 200hr yoga teacher training at the start of 2025. The experience we had was quite magical. The real in depth knowledge and wisdom displayed by the multiple teachers really opened our eyes to the truly mind boggling and all encomposing science of yoga. We started the course feeling "in the known" and quickly found ourselves to be meer toddlers in grand scale of compentence. What we can take is that yoga is a complete science of the art of living.”

“My experience at Hariom Yoga Vidya School was very different and good. I was able to practice yoga well in this environment and I did not feel away from home while staying here. The staff here is very good, they take care of all the needs of the students, everyone is helpful. All the teachers here are also very good and knowledgeable, from whom I got to learn a lot. I have completed 200 hours of certification from here.”
Every one of them started with a question.
300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training reviews
The advanced training, open to teachers who already hold a 200 hour certificate. Fewer reviews than the 200 hour, because fewer people take it.

“I did my 300hr TTC at Hari Om Yoga Vidya. I came with certain expectations, and left humbled with a good lesson to my ego. The direcror Pramod and his wife are very loving, the rooms are clean and well equipped. The only thing I would add is that if you have done your 200hr ttc in another school, you may find certain aspects slightly repetitive. However, I still have learned many things and I will miss the passionate teachers!”
Yoga retreat reviews
Short residential stays rather than trainings — the 7 and 10 day retreats, in the guests' own words. No certificate, no exam, and no teaching practice.

“I had the most amazing tiem at Hari Om yoga school. The staff is great, the vine relaxed and the teachers extremely qualified.”
Reviews of the school itself
Reviews that describe the school rather than one course: the teachers, the food, the rooms and Rishikesh. These are the ones a course page borrows when it has too few of its own to fill a row.

Darshita Tiwari rated us 5 out of 5
“Thank you for this memorable experience. It has transformed us in ways unimaginable. Not just the school premises, but teachers, class mates, Kitchen staff, all had so much knowledge for each and every one of us. Have learned layers and layers of information + knowledge. Thankfully food, rooms were all top notch and well taken care of so we could fully focus on learning alone.”
Patricia Villanueva rated us 5 out of 5
“I've been to other schools, and I can assure you that none are like this one. It has exceeded expectations. Everything is perfect: spacious and clean rooms, excellent cuisine, and, above all, highly qualified teachers who are constantly willing to help. I recommend this place; I will definitely return. The people who run it are the best; they make you feel part of their family.”
