THE STUDIO
From our infrared heat to antimicrobial flooring, we’ve built a space centred around increasing health and well-being. People recognise the tremendous health benefits of infrared heat, including cellulite reduction, decreased joint stiffness, and the release of toxins, among many others. Our cork flooring offers a seamless, non-slip surface that is both antibacterial and gentle on the joints.
THE TEACHERS
Meet the teachers who may have one of the most meaningful influences on your life. Our teachers conduct classes with compassion and care, creating a space where you genuinely feel good in both mind and body. With years of experience rooted in traditional wisdom and modern understanding, they guide students patiently and mindfully. More than instructors, they are mentors who inspire inner growth, confidence, and a deeper connection to yoga.
Established in 2005
HISTORY OF AYM YOGA SCHOOL IN GOA
Yogi Chetan Mahesh Ji established a foundation authorised by the government of India and the Yoga Alliance USA. Then, in September 2015, AYM Yoga School in Goa came into play. Some conventional Yoga exercises were introduced nationwide in India, as they had previously been missing. Teaching at the AYM incorporates conventional and ancient Yoga exercises, as well as several scientific approaches.
The Association for Yoga and Meditation (AYM Yoga School) became India’s national organisation, representing the worldwide Yoga exercise federation. It sets requirements for Yoga practice in accordance with the Yoga Alliance and the Ministry of AYUSH. Yoga Graduate students from AYM can become registered Yoga teachers (RYT). Nationwide, Yoga associations in most countries arrange Yoga exercises, sports, and activities.
We welcome practitioners of all levels, from the absolute beginner who has never tried Yoga and wishes to explore this mind-body-spiritual practice in a carefully designed environment, to the advanced practitioner seeking a greater challenge to deepen their practice. We’re proud to offer a schedule and workshops that meet our students’ needs. We always welcome your feedback and support, and it will help make AYM Yoga School your go-to for all your Yoga needs.
Yoga Instructor Courses
Our Yoga Instructor Training is world-class. We focus on helping individuals become the best versions of themselves so that they can share their unique gifts and insights with the world through Yoga. We are proud to offer the opportunity to study anatomy and physiology, traditional Yoga studies, philosophy, sequencing, and teaching skills in depth.
Retreats
Our retreats are unique and innovative. You’ll have plenty of time to practice, restore, and renew with world-class teachers. The retreats lead you through a transformative process, leaving you refreshed, rejuvenated, and inspired to combat suffering in yourself and in the world around you.
AYM Yoga School has a dynamic team of instructors with decades of combined experience in yoga practice and teaching. Our mission is to help participants reduce stress at work, at home, and in all aspects of life by delivering 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.
Yoga is a path, a discipline, and a practice of wakefulness handed down for thousands of years. This ancient tradition continues at AYM Yoga School. Whether you’re ready to transition from student to teacher or want to deepen your personal practice, we offer a diverse array of training to strengthen your practice and develop the skills and tools needed to teach powerful, inspiring Yoga to others.

We know it can feel intimidating to step into a Yoga studio for the first time, and we welcome you with open arms, hearts, and smiles. We believe in the natural wisdom of the body and mind. Our philosophy is that all individuals can attain optimal health and wellness through movement, breath, awareness and connection on every level. We have classes and instructors to meet the needs of students from every path, at any point on their journey to health.
We intend to create a safe space and a warm sense of community where individuals can access their own internal sources of wisdom and core strength for self-healing, growth, and transformation. Our goal is to stay at the forefront of integrative health care and share that knowledge to help people achieve their personal health and wellness. Our method helps all students improve their overall strength, balance, flexibility, and resilience at every level through mind-body practices so that they may thrive physically, mentally, emotionally, and beyond.
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 propels individuals towards great labour, which removes the bondage of Karma from their lives. Here at AYM, we create an Ashram environment to provide you with a more profound experience of yourself and to help you understand the possibilities hidden within this life.
AYM YOGA ASHRAM IN GOA
AYM Yoga School is situated in Arambol, in northern Goa, near the border with Maharashtra. 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 combines traditional knowledge with 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, the Ganga, and the Himalaya 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.
Skilled instruction
Our instructors are all highly trained, and we pride ourselves on providing a quality experience.
Comprehensive
Our trainings cover all syllabus requirements of Yoga Alliance, including asana, inner and outer alignment and more.
Personalized
Our small training sessions allow you to receive individual attention in your practice and teaching skills.
