Real reviews from students who completed their training with Om Yoga International.
"The training exceeded every expectation. The teachers are genuinely knowledgeable and compassionate. Rishikesh is the perfect setting — waking up to the Ganges every morning while deepening your practice is something that stays with you forever."
200-Hour TTC"I came as a practitioner and left as a teacher. The curriculum is thorough — philosophy, anatomy, pranayama and asana are all given equal weight. The community formed during the course is something I will cherish. Best investment I have made."
300-Hour TTC"Brilliant programme. The schedule is demanding but the immersive format makes it all come together. My teaching confidence grew dramatically during the practice-teach sessions. The food at campus is genuinely exceptional — sattvic cooking at its best."
200-Hour TTC"The Yin and Restorative specialisation was exactly what I needed. Small group, personalised feedback, and time to really absorb the practice. The campus is beautiful and the staff were helpful from day one of enquiry to the final graduation ceremony."
50-Hour Yin"I was nervous about committing to a month-long programme but the admissions team were reassuring throughout. The structured schedule, the philosophical depth, and the relationships built with classmates — everything worked together perfectly."
200-Hour TTC"Completed the combined 500-hour programme over two visits. The consistency in teaching quality from 200 to 300 hours was impressive. Yogendra and the team clearly care about each student's individual journey. Highly recommended to serious practitioners."
