Worldpeaceyogaschool Avis 

I headed to Rishikesh with the purpose of finding the best academy to train as a Kundalini Yoga teacher. After researching and contacting several academies, I decided choose World Peace Yoga School. I am satisfied with my choice, I leave you my honest opinion on the five most important points when selecting an academy:

- Teachers: Most of the teachers are VERY GOOD, this is what I liked most about this academy, and what it is worth paying for. Among them I highlight Ashu, a teacher that I will never forget, he has inspired me a lot and has made this experience incredible and unforgettable. Ashu sets the level, I have no words to express my satisfaction at having received his teachings. Receiving classes from these teachers is the main reason for choosing World Peace Yoga School.
- Food: The food at the Ashram is very good, balanced and varied. Perfect for practicing yoga. Personally Indian food is my favorite so I really loved eating here. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. You serve yourself the food and you can eat as much as you want, a delight.
- Facilities and accommodation: I have been to many Ashrams during the 4 times I have been to India, and without a doubt, this has been the most luxurious Ashram. It is designed for people who come from outside and are not used to the chaos and disorder of India. It has four Yoga halls to practice, two terraces with incredible views, common areas. The wifi fails often (but it always happens in India) although they always try to fix it soon. The rooms are clean and well-equipped, with comfortable beds. A perfect place to concentrate on Yoga. In front you have the Ganges River, just 3 minutes away to bathe and cool off in its sacred waters. Behind you you have the jungle. The location is excellent. The only thing that could improve is that right next door there is a construction site that sometimes generates a little noise but this is normal in India, they are always building something, constant calm is a concept that does not exist in India. In fact, constant calm only exists within you, when you are in harmony with life, any noise becomes a pleasant symphony.
- Staff: The Staff people are absolutely wonderful, very friendly and are always at your disposal to help you with whatever you need. It's a big family. I felt at home and it was thanks to them, I miss them every day.
- The training: I decided on the 500-hour Kundalini Yoga training. It is divided into 200 hours + 300 hours (2 months). The first month was incredible, a lot of learning, many new things to integrate, to learn, to practice, it was totally worth it. The second month (300 hours) was a bit disappointing because several classes began to repeat themselves. The level of my class was very low because many students had not taken Kundalini 200 hours previously, and the teachers had to constantly adjust and repeat things that I had already seen in the previous 200-hour course. I accepted it and it was still worth it, I learned some new things, and reinforced previous knowledge. I also strengthened my patience and acceptance.

Rishikesh is the place where Yoga was born, and is called the capital of Yoga. Those past times have changed a lot, and we cannot forget that nowadays, throughout the world and especially in India, most things are a business. Therefore we must accept this, since sometimes it can shock us to experience this reality in a spiritual environment. Yoga is the big business in Rishikesh, and there are many academies that are scams. Those of us who really value learning value good teachers who know how to transmit, and a pleasant place where we can learn in the best conditions. For these reasons I give 5 stars to this Yoga academy and I dare to assure that it is among the TOP of BEST YOGA ACADEMIES in Rishikesh. A great family that I will never forget, and that I will always carry in my heart, lot of metta, hariom namaste.

It is difficult to express in words the experience I had, so emotional and profound, the most beautiful of my life. In the school I found competent and engaging teachers. The human experience, the opportunity to compare was truly enriching. Great care in accompanying the students in learning about the different practices. The capital of the school, the truly valuable one is the human one, both from a professional and personal point of view. I'll be back! Soon!

This school is absolutely unique and is also a haven of peace. You will find professional teachers here as well as great opportunities to take courses online. Most importantly, true original yoga is taught here! Guru Vishnu is a very wise and kind-hearted person with immense knowledge.

My time at World Peace Yoga was nothing short of a transformative experience. The entire team, from teachers to facility staff, made sure we felt welcome, safe and comfortable. I’ve learned so much more than I expected to and walked away with friendships as a bonus. I cannot wait to return and learn something new.

The online Multi-style Yoga course is very complete, with helpful videos, books and manuals for your own study. The talks of Yogi Vishnu Panigrahi on the Himalayan tradition and Yoga philosophy and lifestyle are very inspiring, as well as his videos on meditation, pranayama, mudra and bandhas. For the asanas, the teachers of Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga explained nicely the different postures, showing the adjustments that can be made, which is very helpful to teach a class with students of different levels. This course allowed me to incorporate Yoga Philosophy and lifestyle in my daily life. I feel much more peaceful. Thank you.

Attending the World Peace Yoga School in Rishikesh this past June for Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training was a transformative experience that changed my life in ways I never imagined.

Initially, I enrolled for the 100-hour training, but once I arrived, I felt an overwhelming sense of belonging and decided to cancel the rest of my travel plans. I chose to stay and complete the full 200-hour training, a decision I couldn't be happier about.

From the very first class, I knew I had found a special place. The lessons were beautifully structured, offering deep insights into the proper traditions of yoga. The impact of this training was profoundly influenced by the teachers, who are truly the best of the best. Their authenticity and passion for sharing their culture were evident in every class.

I am especially grateful to Ankur Ji and Sunil Ji, whose inspiration and support guided me through this journey of self-discovery.

The dedication and love they put into their teaching have left an indelible mark on my heart. Their wisdom and encouragement have made me a better person, and I am filled with gratitude for the knowledge they shared with me. This experience was more than just training; it was a journey into the depths of yoga and myself.

I cannot wait to return next year for the 300-hour training. To all the beautiful teachers at World Peace Yoga School, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will forever be grateful for the knowledge and wisdom you shared with me. This experience has truly been life-changing, and I look forward to continuing this incredible journey with you.

Thank you,
Sara

Amazing experience

Life need such training and grateful for all teachers. Thanks to world peace yoga school.

It was not only a yoga course but it was a life course for me

Such a great experience I had in the teacher training course. I will. Come back again.

what I loved: great teachers, great classes, the diversity of the group I was in (age/cultural), food overall, great location; overall excellent program
what I would have liked more: spend more time on teaching me how to teach yoga, learn more on Vinyasa flows, less preaching from the intimidating Guru (being inclusive goes along way)- would have liked to hear more "recommendations" rather than don'ts (everyone's lifestyle is their own choice), I needed more protein and more local fruits every day at every meal (barely any and only at breakfast and they were gone in 2 seconds at breakfast time).
What was the most challenging: I'm not a vegetarian, so going vegan for 3 weeks was challenging, so more fruits and protein would have been welcome as stated earlier; also waking up at 5am every morning was tough, doing Ashtanga at 6am felt it was the wrong timing for this class: Hatha should have been scheduled at 6am instead, I know it's a teacher's preference or convenience but that did not make sense to me to be so going a harsh practice so early. Pranayama before also would have made more sense.
Overall: great experience, even though tough at times, no preaching from Guru for me would have made it outstanding. THank you all!

I had such a good time doing the 200 hr Multi style YTT that I came back 6 months later to do the Kundalini 200 hr YTT. Great teachers, great location, great syllabus. Highly recommended

I completed the 200h Kundalini Yoga teacher training with World Peace Yoga in Bali and it was an amazing experience that I will never forget! All the teachers were kind, generous and knowledgeable, and made the learning process so interesting and easy to digest. The people I met here also felt like a family and I'll cherish them forever.

Come with an open heart and an open mind, listen and let the universe and the teachers guide you through your own beautiful learning and growth.

Thank you to everyone who shared their knowledge, time and love with me during this experience. Namaste!

Worst experience ever! Liars! Thieves!
Use indaba London, they provide great teachers! Don’t go with these thieves.

My partner and I booked in January a 100h yoga teaching course with Yogalayaa in Bali, over 15 days, to be taking place in a beautiful resort in the center of Bali from the 3rd June to the 17th june.
After paying the deposit of over 400 American dollars, we booked our flights to Indonesia and waited with excitement June to come.

TWO days before the course kick off, Yogalayaa texts us to ask if we could be there a day before - which of course was not possible given the flights.

After that, we got a message from the teacher, from world peace yoga school, to ask if we could be there the day before, and again we explain that it wasn’t possible.
We started wondering what was going on..

After a few questions and strange messages what we realised was the following:
Yogalayaa had sold us on to world peace yoga school.
BUT, world peace yoga school was 1.starting 1 day earlier 2. not providing 100h courses 3. providing as accomodation a horrible hotel with rats and everything you can think of - reviews are available online for you to check

At this point we didn’t have much choices - we decided to go and talk in person to understand the situation.

we went, and after a chat we asked to see the room. My partner turned on the light. The bathroom vent went on and the rat hidden in the ceiling started squeaking so loud and painful that we run out of the room by disgust.

I could can keep going..

Long story short.. we left.
With so much money involved, we were not going to compromise on the level of the course and the conditions of it.

We spent so much money to fly to Indonesia for this class and we sacrificed vacations… and we have been treated like objects. We should have been refunded for all our expenses, flights included! But we decided to request only our refund back.
Guess what, they said it was our fault, we should have cancelled!!

Summary: STAY AWAY.

My time at World Peace Yoga, was transformative. The special energy of Rishikesh can’t be described, it must be experienced. The teachers are helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Guru Vishnu, shares his knowledge, openly and sincerely. I am a better human for having attended world peace yoga ❤️. Everything from pranayama, meditation, and yoga asanas were great.

The lessons were well built, good demonstration methods and very easy to follow. A lot of different studies were passed on which I was really looking forward to. The teachers were knowledgeable and gave Yoga it’s true meaning. I am happy to have done it Online instead of in class because I could go on my own pace, even changing the speed of the classes, respecting my sleeping schedule/ eating habits, while being completely immersed on the world of Yoga

From the moment I entered the World Peace Yoga School in Rishikesh, I felt at home due to the warm welcome I received. Every teacher was outstanding, not only in their extensive knowledge but also as true embodiments of the yogic lifestyle. The course content, daily Hatha practice, and spiritual practices (kriya's) were truly transformative. I cannot recommend the school highly enough to those who are looking for expansion.

They delivered the training as advertised. All the teachers are extremely knowledgeable in their areas of expertise...and many of them are well rounded, well versed in various topics and yoga styles. Most importantly, it's a very calm and nurturing atmosphere with full support from the Worldpeace team, which makes the demanding training a fulfilling and fun experience.

amazing experience. Founder guruji has a welcoming and warm gesture towards everyone. I learnt a lot here. I’m forever grateful for this opportunity. All the teachers have immense knowledge in feild. Thank you again.

I'm so gratefull to the school for the amazing, knowledgeable and kind hearted teachers. They have an in depht knowledge and experience of the subject they teach and are well experienced in teaching it. I'll definitely be back for the 300 hr Kundalini. Much love and gratitude
