15 Days Yoga Detox Retreat in Rishikesh, India

About us

I had an amazing time with the Vedansha team. I came here for my 300h YTTC and I really believe that I found the perfect place where I could’ve done my course. What I received here was more than a training on how to improve my knowledge and teaching skills. It was a real training for how to have the best life and a profound experience of connecting with myself. I can say that one more time I learned how to live and how to enjoy the life that I have. It was an experience that empowered me and taught me more about how to accomplish great things in my life and to in the same time to maintain the balance in all ares of my life. I felt that every class brought more value and light in my understanding. I overcome my limits, I improved my knowledge, I gained more wisdom, I reached new meditative states, I am more aware of myself and I have wider vision about my potential. The staff is composed of amazing and beautiful people. I learned something new from every teacher and every staff member. I appreciated the professionalism, the fact that they took in consideration differences between students and their needs and that they were open to hear every voice. All the activities we had made our experience complete. I really enjoyed the food. It was delicious! One thing that really made a huge difference for me was the feeling of being part of the family. Overall, I can truly say it was a luxuriant experience for my soul. I can’t wait to come back. I really recommend this school! Valentin Placinta (tripadvisor)
