HISTORY OF AYM YOGA SCHOOL IN GOA
Yogi Chetan Mahesh established a foundation authorized by the government of India and Yoga Alliance USA. Then, in September 2005, AYM Yoga School in Goa came into play. Some joint conventional and actual yoga exercises were obtained nationwide in India native as they had been missing. So, teaching at the AYM follows conventional and ancient yoga exercises with several scientific approaches.
In 2005, the Association for Yoga and Meditation became the national organization of India and has become the representative of the worldwide yoga exercise federation. It sets requirements for yoga exercise according to the rules of the Yoga Alliance and Ministry of AYUSH. Yoga Graduate students from AYM can become registered yoga teachers (RYT). Nationwide, yoga exercise associations in most countries arrange yoga exercises, sports, and activities.
AYM Yoga School has a dynamic team of instructors with decades of combined yoga practice and teaching experience. Our mission is to enhance our participants’ ability to reduce stress at work, home and in all aspects of life by providing a world-class experience. Each class desires to maintain balance and improve mental, physical, and spiritual growth. At AYM, each student in the room is a space holder, an integral part of our yoga family.
AYM Yoga feels that the most vital aspect of any school is the relationship between student and teacher, so you may find the instructor that suits you. AYM Yoga School represents a place where participants receive the highest level of training and an opportunity to join a unique community of like-minded Yogi enthusiasts. For beginners and advanced students alike, we invite you to join us in our beautiful tropical environment to practice yoga with a contemporary and holistic approach!

OUR YOGA ASHRAMS IN INDIA
The literal meaning of Ashram is a place, time or situation where a specific kind of labour is needed and done. In General, a Guru resides in an Ashram, creating tremendous energy around it. This energy pushes individuals towards great labour, which removes the bondage of Karmas from their lives. Here at AYM, we create an Ashram environment to give you a more profound experience of yourself and to make you understand the possibilities hidden behind this life.
AYM YOGA ASHRAM IN GOA
AYM Yoga School is in Arambol, in the far north of Goa, close to the Maharashtra border; with its seemingly endless stretch of sand and rocky headland, it is one of India’s most charismatic beach towns. Our Yoga Ashram Goa focuses on laying a firm foundation of yogic insights rooted in ancient wisdom in the hearts and minds of all who come. The Yoga teaching style is traditional knowledge and modern methodologies.
AYM YOGA ASHRAM IN RISHIKESH
A paradise insulated from the outside world by magnificent natural formations and preserved from humanity’s encroachment by the mother river, Ganga and Himalayas valley hills on the other side. The International Ashram of Yogi Chetan Mahesh Ji retains its solitude while remaining in contact with and close to the ‘outside’ world.

STUDENTS TESTIMONIALS
AYM YOGA SCHOOL IN GOA COMPLAINTS AND COMPLIMENTS
Love from our past students
I had been intermittently practising Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga for a few years. A couple of years ago, I decided to restart my practice. AYM Yoga School and its talented and knowledgeable teachers helped transform me from doing Yoga to becoming a practising Ashtanga. This is a gift I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Whatever your path, AYM offers a variety of classes for all levels and interests, and you will meet many people who can assist you in your practice.
To inspire its practitioners, AYM Yoga School has redecorated its studio, which is quite resounding! The feel is yogic and soothing, with a beautiful energy!
~ HAZEL COPE (YOGA TEACHER)
I have been practising at AYM Yoga School for almost three years. Being new to Yoga, I was nervous and unsure what to expect. I didn’t want to be the one they looked at and said, “What is she doing here?”. My fears were put to rest very quickly. The instructors have always been kind and encouraging. They have never made me feel like I don’t belong there. Yoga has changed not only my body but my attitude, too. I always recommend AYM Yoga School Goa – I love their instructors!!
Teacher training at AYM Yoga School has reshaped my life in ways I never thought possible. I’ve had numerous teachers, but AYM’s approach is unique, fostering deep understanding and personal growth through the eight-limb path. My perception of yoga has evolved from a focus on asana to a transformative journey of personal growth and spiritual development. This experience is priceless, and I’m continually inspired by the exceptional teachers and friends I’ve made along the way.
