This is a real, genuine yoga and meditation school. No evidence of hype or commercialism. In fact, one feels transported back in time to simple, natural, quietness. The teachers are great- extremely knowledgeable, unlike other yoga classes I have attended, and can always answer questions about which poses are good to do for pains in certain parts of the body, what helps with insomnia, etc. It is also value for money- a 2.5 hr course is only 20 usd. After such a long session, you walk out and colours seem brighter, and you feel more at peace with the world and with yourself- something which is sorely needed in today’s hectic world.
Even if you have been a yoga practitioner, you have to start at the beginner’s level here because they very strictly follow the teachings of Sachananda. I would highly recommend this this school. Courses are usually anywhere from 5 to 10 weeks long, and run year-round.
