What some of our former Himalaya Yoga Valley Students have to say about us:

The Teacher Training Course was truly an incredible month of light, love, laughter, and growth. The experience was simultaneously challenging (in many ways- physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, etc.) and nurturing. We were blessed to have teachers with a wealth and diversity of experience and study within the vast tradition of yoga, encouraging a full and dynamic practice

Jean - Jaques Gabriel, U.S

The one month yoga teacher training course offered me far more than excellent training with wonderful teachers, it also gave me the opportunity to explore, unlock and cultivate inner thoughts and ideas in a healthy and relaxed environment. My practise at the Himalayan Yoga Valley centre was like a journey. You came to your mat, and your destination was unknown.

I’m 72 years old. Practicing Yoga with Lalit and his Himalaya Yoga Valley team made me feel 16 again! I can honestly say they are the best Yoga classes I have ever participated in and would recommend them with full confidence.
