Yoga School in India – Students’ Feedback
Students’ Feedback – Past and present students talk honestly about their experiences studying at AYM Yoga School
Yoga in India: Our students reported that when they completed their Yoga teacher training classes in cities like Rishikesh, Goa, and Dharamsala, India. As we know, feedback is a crucial component of any educational and training program. In India, AYM Yoga School has been offering Yoga and meditation services to its students for the past 11 years. Now, almost 10,000 students have been trained and provided with Yoga teacher training services in countries such as the USA, UK, Canada, South Africa, China, Japan, and others.
“Attending the 200-hour teacher training at AYM Yoga in Goa was truly a life-changing experience. The entire program is exceptionally well-structured and comprehensive, covering everything from precise asana alignment to deep philosophy. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. They genuinely care about each student’s growth.
Beyond the amazing curriculum, what makes AYM special is the sense of community. They create a warm, family-like atmosphere that makes you feel safe and supported from day one. The location in Arambol is perfect, peaceful yet close to the beach. The delicious, healthy vegetarian food nourished us throughout the intensive course.
I left not only certified to teach but also profoundly transformed, with more confidence and a deeper connection to my practice. If you’re looking for an authentic, challenging, and deeply rewarding yoga teacher training, I cannot recommend AYM Yoga enough. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Thank you 🙏”

“Heart is full!💜🙏🌞
The 300 h TTC Yoga Course by AYM GOA was much more like a Certificate. It was a safe place where wonderful humans shared their experiences and learning approaches. Amazing, motivated Teacher Team, a nice facility, delicious vegetarian food, beach yoga, and an intense learning process, both internally and externally. All this together in Goa, in the heart of Arambol, where the beach and beautiful nature are a 5-minute walk away. If you are looking for authenticity, enthusiasm, simplicity, and a lot of sun, coconut, and sea, you are on the right path. I definitely have a deeper understanding of alignment, anatomy, philosophy, and pranayama. With this tool, I will conduct my classes more creatively, and I am also inspired to continue my Ashtanga practice.
Thank you, AYM. I go home rich!❤️💜🧡”

“10 minutes from the beach, the teachers are really dedicated, and so is the kitchen staff.
Rooms are great, the food is great, you learn about history, philosophy, and anatomy, and you practice that knowledge every day. You get to people from everywhere around the world with their incredible stories and lives.
This is a life-changing experience.
I recommend it wholeheartedly.”

“Overall, I had an amazing experience at AYM Yoga school! I joined the 200-hour YTT in August, and we were a small group, which meant we got very personal teaching. The course covered Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga, Anatomy, Pranayama, Karma Yoga, and Yoga Philosophy, spanning a broad spectrum of topics. The teachers, Rajesh, Preksha, and Chryston, were incredibly passionate and welcoming, and did a great job of introducing us to all the topics. The course is totally worth it.
As for the facilities, the room was decent – there was everything needed – but because of the monsoon, there was some fungus near the window and on the wall. The room was clean enough; I had to change rooms once or twice. The hot water sometimes didn’t work, but the issue was normally resolved the next day. Rajesh was always very helpful with any problems with the room and always tried to find a solution.
There is a beautiful Yoga hall, a rooftop, and a nice chilling area at the bottom.
The food was so good! Maya, the cook, made amazing sattvic food – it was always balanced, and I felt really good after eating it. There are a couple of shops and restaurants around for snacks or alternatives.
Overall, I can only recommend AYM Yoga school – the quality of the course is excellent, and the whole time I felt safe and welcome by everyone there. :)”

“Wonderful, highly-recommended experience!
I just finished 100 hours of YTT at AYM Yoga School in Goa, and I’m highly satisfied with my experience. I stayed at the school for 11 days in a private room with full board (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). I joined the ongoing 200-hour YTT course, and they allowed me to attend for a shorter time, given my work holiday restrictions.
I attended each class in the programme from 6:45 to 19:00 each day, including Pranayama, Hatha yoga, anatomy, yoga philosophy, karma yoga, and Ashtanga yoga. Thanks to the teachers and the practices, I’ve learned so many new things about the yoga practice and lifestyle, plus I feel incredibly rejuvenated and relaxed.
The team is professional and kind, ready to welcome and accommodate your requests. The food is vegetarian (no eggs, meat, or fish), so be prepared to adjust your diet or bring your own food if you have different dietary habits.
I was able to maintain my high-protein diet with a few adjustments to the school’s menu.
The school is located in a safe area. You can walk around, reach the beach in 15 minutes, and visit the village and its shops. As a female solo traveller, I felt extremely safe and connected with a few locals who supported me during my stay, making it a wonderful and pleasant experience! We created a close connection with the other course participants, and this is for sure the best thing that happened during the course! Be ready and open to new, meaningful connections ❤️
Mahesh and his team are wonderful, and it’s an experience I’ll never forget! I’m definitely continuing my Yoga education and will be getting a full 200-hour YTT certificate online with AYM 🙏
Special remakes to Preksha, our anatomy and Ashtanga teacher, for all the knowledge and deep conversations shared on the mat and off the mat 🫶”

“Doing the TTC at AYM Goa has been a transformative journey, one that stretched me physically, mentally, and spiritually. Nestled in the serene beauty of Goa, the environment provided not just a backdrop but a container that deeply supported learning and self‐exploration.
From the very first days, the schedule was both challenging and nourishing. Early-morning pranayama sessions, rigorous asana practices, anatomy and philosophy classes, and chanting all wove together a holistic tapestry. What stood out was not just the depth of the Yoga techniques we learned, but the way they were taught: with patience, clarity and compassion. The teachers modelled what they taught; their warmth and authenticity made even difficult moments feel safe and possible.
In addition to the physical practice, the TTC pushed me to look inward. Moments of discomfort, physical fatigue, mental overthinking, and emotional release surfaced, and what I discovered was a resilience I didn’t fully know I had. The supportive community, fellow trainees, faculty, and staff were crucial in holding space for those shifts.
Beyond the mat, the simplest things became lessons: eating mindfully, resting when needed, being fully present in conversation and listening deeply. Goa’s rhythms, the sea, the sun, and the greenery helped anchor these lessons in a way nothing else could.
Overall, the TTC at AYM Goa has been more than just training; it’s felt like a reset of my body, my mind, and what I want to bring into life. I leave with new skills, greater groundedness, and deep gratitude for the process.”

“Had an amazing couple of sessions with AYM Yoga. I took drop-in classes for Hatha & Ashtanga Vinyasa. Both were delivered really well, with assistance and prompts given when needed. Very detailed and clear instructions with the opportunity to challenge yourself. Great for all levels. I joined a TTC course, and the other students, around 10 of them, were very friendly and welcoming, and you could see they also respected and enjoyed the teacher’s style. Really impressed! Lots of mats and props available. Great space and experience.”

“Where should I begin? We have all undergone wonderful transformations here after completing the 200-hour TTC at AYM.
I came to India without any expectation. I want to spend a month in Goa and then head to China while learning something new.
Teachers here are all amazing individuals. They are not only knowledgeable but also caring toward every student.
Mahesh is the symbol of the Yoga spirit, as far as I know about Yoga. He is always calm, collected, mindful, and respectful. He and his wife are always warm and welcome everyone.
Our anatomy and philosophy teacher, Preksa, is a wonderful soul. I can not ask for more. She is inspiring, loving, and always supportive of every student.
Our Alignment and Hatha teacher, Chryston, is also inspiring. We all become a new, better version after graduating here. I’m so thankful for my teachers here and forever grateful to Ms Maya and Mr Mithilesh in the kitchen, who cook with love and spread love to all of us. We will be missing all of you very much 😭😭”
