  Attending the Sivananda International Yoga Teacher Training Course was a truly life-changing experience for me. From the very first day, I was immersed in a holistic environment that nurtured not only my physical practice but also my mental clarity and spiritual growth. The structured daily schedule, including early morning meditation, asana practice, pranayama, and inspiring lectures, helped me develop discipline and inner balance. The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and deeply rooted in the authentic yogic tradition, which made the learning process both profound and accessible. Beyond the technical knowledge of teaching yoga, the course emphasized a complete yogic lifestyle — from mindful vegetarian nutrition to positive thinking and selfless service. Living in a supportive community with like-minded individuals from around the world created a powerful sense of connection and belonging. Every challenge, whether physical or mental, became an opportunity for growth, resilience, and self-discovery. By the end of the training, I not only felt confident to teach yoga internationally but also carried with me a deeper understanding of myself and a more peaceful, purposeful way of living. This course is not just a certification — it is a transformative journey that continues to influence my life every single day.

  I really love the atmosphere here; it’s so peaceful and quiet. I came here two months ago, but it’s only now that I realize what a truly serene place it is after returning to my normal life. The food here is very delicious, which truly surprised me. I really enjoy watching the sunrise and sunbathing here. Walking on the paths and doing walking meditation in the forest are also wonderful. If you have the time or are struggling with life, you should come here once, because I truly believe you will be healed, even if you are the most disconnected person.

  Wow!!! Just wow!!!! Such an amazing place from start to finish! We did the 4 hour day. We started with meditation and chanting with the perfect sunrise. Everything is so positive and so much information how to control your mind calm your body and install peace. After we went for breakfast which was abundant and delicious. After we had an amazing yoga session again so much amazing information and technique for everyone. Such a positive environment. Finally it was lunch again so abundant and delicious. The environment surroundings is just so breathtaking peaceful and positive. I would highly recommend for 4 days or longer.

  I think I love this Sivananda Yoga Resort & Training more than I expect. Three days taking a yoga vocation here, I have fallen in love again with nature, community and my soul. This place offers a discount for Vietnamese people, which is outstandingly reasonable. The facilities are wonderful, with hot water and clean beds. The vegan food is unbelievably wholesome and fresh. I think I will have yoga vocation here each year.

  Completed my TTC in 2024 and came back for ATTC course🙏❤️ Once you feel how authentic this community and the teachings are, you wont be able to forget. This is the most beautiful place, I’ve taken many different yoga classes, retreats and workshops, also completed another TTC before Sivananda, but nothing can compare to this experience ❤️❤️❤️ All the staff and karma yogis are volunteers, many of them working and serving the mission for years, it’s really hard to find a place like this ✨

  Escape from the hustle city and spend few nights here, you would find a serenity for yourself. 3 vegan delightful meals per day are provided, plus practicing yoga 2 times per day, and start to mediate in 30’. Quite a good value deal for me.

  One of these places and experiences that I promise myself I will give myself more of! The place is so beautiful, as in it's simple and connected and in the middle of nature - the pine forest. The schedule is filled with wellness activities (meditation, learning about wellbeing, yoga, acts of serving others, walk, sunrise watch, stars watch, bonfire meditation) according to teaching of traditional yoga, yet you can be flexible about how much you can/want to attend. The staffs are extremely friendly, attentive and joyful. I thoroughly enjoyed everymoment there and will recommend it to anyone who needs a (minimum) 3 day blissful vacation. I'm so grateful to be there, thank you everyone at Sivananda centre for running such a beautiful peaceful place. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti❤

  I can wholeheartedly recommend the Sivananda Yoga Resort to anyone who wants to disconnect from everyday life and nurture body, mind, and soul. The minimum stay of three days is a must, and from my own experience, I can say that it’s only after those three nights that you truly start to unwind. If you really want to bring peace to your body and mind, you should definitely stay longer if it’s possible. The satsang chanting calms the mind. I didn’t expect that satsang singing would bring me so much joy and immer peace. The nearly two-hour yoga sessions, held twice a day, helped me improve my asanas, and I truly recommend participating in both sessions to progress quickly. The food was also incredibly delicious and very nutritious. I could feel how much good it did for my body. I even really enjoyed the rice porridge in the morning. You can tell that the food is prepared with a lot of love and in organic quality. Everyone involved there is extremely kind and very helpful. They are all very authentic and live according to the Sivananda Yoga philosophy. If you seek inner peace, you will be granted it. However, there are also opportunities for exchange and shared meals. In addition, there's the option to attend a daily workshop on Sivananda Yoga philosophy, which helped me stay connected to the yogic path in life. All in all, I have truly taken the Sivananda Yoga retreat center into my heart, and I would love to return when the opportunity arises. Many thanks for everything. Om Shanti :)
