Arpi NigamI recently completed the yoga instructor course and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The experience was transformative, both professionally and personally. From the moment I enrolled, I felt supported and encouraged by the institute's knowledgeable and friendly. The curriculum was comprehensive and well-structured, covering everything from fundamental yoga postures to advanced teaching techniques and anatomy. What stood out to me was the emphasis on both the physical and philosophical aspects of yoga, providing a holistic approach to the practice. The instructors were outstanding. Each one brought a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to their teaching. They were not only experts in their field but also incredibly approachable and willing to provide personalized guidance. The small class sizes ensured that we received individual attention and feedback, which was invaluable in improving our skills and confidence as future yoga instructors. The facilities at [Institute Name] were top-notch, providing a serene and inspiring environment that was conducive to learning and personal growth. The studio was always clean and well-maintained, and the availability of various props and resources enhanced our learning experience. One of the highlights of the course was the sense of community. I formed lasting friendships with my fellow trainees, and the support network we created helped me stay motivated and engaged throughout the program. The institute also offers ongoing support and opportunities for continuing education, which is a fantastic resource for graduates. Overall, my experience was exceptional. The course exceeded my expectations in every way, and I feel fully equipped and confident to embark on my journey as a yoga instructor. If you are considering becoming a yoga teacher, I wholeheartedly recommend it– it is a decision you will not regret!
Mridul BaganiI’ve been a student of Swasti Yoga for 4 months, having completed Level 1, and my experience has been nothing short of fantastic. The teachers are amazing and highly knowledgeable. They don’t just teach yogic practices and theory but also their real-life applications and connections. The Swasti team will deepen your understanding of yoga; it’s not just about asanas but much more, and you’ll observe the changes in yourself. A few highlights: 1. Classes operate every day. As a working professional, early morning yoga practices and weekend theory classes have been extremely helpful. 2. The self-paced study material is excellent. 3. To make learning more practical and immersive, the team often conducts events, gatherings, cross-cultural visits, and sessions at the Ayurvedic medical college. I highly recommend Swasti Yoga to anyone looking to genuinely deepen their understanding and practice of yoga.

Azariah MohrI had a beautiful stay at Swasti yoga center where I was taken in by a loving family and given extensive lesson on the history and tradition of yoga. I was able to fully immerse into the culture through temple visits, community outreach events, college tours and fun retreats while also connecting with the family during birthday celebrations, special trips and everyday life. We shared many laughs, meals and memories together. I wouldn't trade this experience for the world, and would highly recommend to anyone with an open and curious heart.
