The location of AYM is very convenient for the students. Quite place to learn, great if you need to focus on meditation and the teachings. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with bathroom. You can choose to stay in double or single accommodation and the view is beautiful. At the same time the school is so close to town, just 10 minutes down you can find anything you need: book stores, music stores, all types of vendors, places to eat, etc. All vegetarian meals were prepare freshly and with a lot of care.

I had the chance to learn Hatha Yoga with Yogi Mahesh. We learn how important is the alignment and why we need to do the proper corrections. Some days you will feel so tired some days you will feel that you can continue easily. Never regret any single moment of this whole experience, even when I felt exhausted I'm grateful to had the chance to learn from our teachers.
The lectures are made in a practical and understandable way. Everyday we learned more and more, then you understand how beautiful and deep is yoga, how great is being a yoga teacher and the responsibility to bring yoga in the right way to your current/future students.

I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training at AYM and had an excellent time! The school is located up a small hill out of the hustle and bustle of the main streets and is surrounded by greenery and fresh winds. The teachers were knowledgable and made classes educational and fun. The facilities were excellent and everything you need is within walking distance. Mahesh is truly invested in sharing the yogic lifestyle beyond just asanas and was a pleasure to learn from! I highly recommend this school!

My Fiance and I have just completed our 200hr TTC at the AYM Yoga School- We have to say we feel so grateful and blessed to have found this school, it was an amazing experience and more than what we wished for. The course is great- it isn't forced upon you which teaches you to exercise your own self discipline (part of the yogic practice) and the staff are amazing... the teachers are so knowledgeable, they are kind, they are caring and they make the experience so genuine. We have never been to Rishikesh or India before and staying at this school made the trip and we definitely want to return to the same school for our 300 hour course.
The only thing we would say to be aware of is nothing to do with the school- it is just some of the students! As there are people here from all of the world, mostly Western, it is easy to fall in to western patterns in terms of attitude and expectations! Remember that you are in India, accept it, embrace it, love it! Celebrate every day here. Don't get caught up in any negative attitudes that can go on behind the scenes!! Work to live the yogic practices. Be kind, be grateful and be positive. If you are looking for a yoga school, the AYM yoga school is 100% recommended by us for all of the courses that they offer!
