Testimonials

"I did my 200-hour yoga therapy training in India with Yoga Chaitanya. This school is well organized, food is really great, they offer Ayurvedic meals. The school is located on the hill. It's a paradise with nature & birds. The best part of training is sukhvinder always emphasizes the art of teaching. He will help to deal with your fears of teaching, stage fear... which I feel is very important for a yoga teacher. If you are looking for a family-like feeling, connections, transformational meditations. But also a Yoga Therapy Course in India with Ayurveda and amazing teachers.... it is the right school. I learned so much about myself... I wouldn't have imagined it before. Life changing"!

"Yoga Chaitanya International is the real deal. I only stayed for 25 days for Yoga Therapy Training in India. But had a great experience and learned a lot...in this course! I can truly recommend this yoga therapy training course in India. If you are looking to get a deeper knowledge of yoga and yourself. This is a wonderful place with a great vibe and joyful and kindhearted people. The food is amazing, location is beautiful ❤️. The program covers the therapeutic approach of asanas and breathing practices. Also includes ayurveda, yoga nidra, mudras, cleansing techniques. This program really helped me to get a much deeper insight into yoga and yoga philosophy. I loved every minute" ❤️🙏

Mandy Barth - Medical Assistant, Germany

"Yoga Chaitanya - professional and thorough I chose Yoga Chaitanya because I was looking for restorative and therapeutic training. Sukhvinder is an amazing, committed and very professional tutor. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I was his only pupil and therefore got his undivided attention. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and determined to make me get to grips with so much in a very short space of time. Outside the Yoga studio he was funny and chatty but inside, while he could make people smile, he knew what he was doing and how to get the best out of students. I highly recommend his courses and the place we stayed in was calm, friendly clean and with wonderful food as well as other professionals. One of many things we studied included Ayurvedic medicine, which I love, along with the eight limbs of Yoga, philosophy, how to support asanas for people with injuries and many different kinds of meditation. There was a lot to learn plus homework at night but if you want a comprehensive teaching course to kickstart your own classes then I doubt you could do better".

Melanie Greenwood - Journalist, United Kingdom

"Namaste 🧘🏻‍♀️ I just completed my Yoga therapy teacher Training with Yoga Chaitanya. It was a wonderful and life changing experience! I learned so much about Yoga and Ayurveda, we had the greatest meditations, also in the Jungle next to the Resort. The teacher Sukhi is very passionate about yoga and also laughter yoga. We could learn a lot from his Knowledge. During Class we had a lot of time to practice our teaching Skills, so that i feel very confident about teaching my own Yoga Class from now on. The resort was in a very peaceful area and the food and the stuff were just wonderful. I‘m very happy and pleased that i went on this Journey to change my life. Thank you!"
