I took the 200 hour course and everything was great. At the beginning it was hard to get used to the schedule and long hours of class but after all, everything is for our own develoment. We had great teachers. Rooms, dinning and class rooms are very simple but they have what we need. The food was delicious but need to be careful at the beginning just to watch how your body responds to all the spices. I have good memories from Mira Yogashala, the places we visited in Rishikesh, the staff and students.

I would highly recommend Mira Yogashala. Although a young yoga school they don't look at their guests as clients, but as family. We grew so close to Sachin, Liubov, Vikas, Rahul, everyone! They are incredible people that take pride in what they do and care greatly for your experience. I learned so much during my month at Mira Yogashala, not only about Yoga, but about Indian culture, myself and what it means to be a good yoga teacher. I can't wait to return!
Rishikesh/Tapovan, as a whole, is under extreme construction. Unfortunately, Mira Yogashala is effected by the noise. However, we didn't have too many issues ignoring it and no matter what school you choose in that area you're going to be stuck with construction. The plus side is that the building the school is located in is new so all the amenities function nicely. It is also up the hill, away from the center of Tapovan, but has very nice cafe's (Mango Tree, French Cafe, Rise and Shine, King's Cafe) close by. "Center city" Tapovan is only a 10 minute walk away, making it just close enough to go shopping, but not be stuck in the middle of everything.

For those looking for a proper YTT place in Rishikesh I would recommend Mira Yogashala. Several reasons:
1- Great Location, about 2 minutes from the noise of the main road, yet easily accessible. Kind of retreat feeling. The hostel is surrounded by mango trees and the view is beautiful (see picture)
2 - The guesthouse suits well the needs of the YTT participants. Family-like atmosphere, and peaceful environment with plenty of space and nature. The daily diet cooked by the kitchen is totally adapted for the participants, and.. it's delicious! Thanks for your warm hospitality!
3 - Small numbers of participants in the course, all motivated to learn more about the universe of yoga, and yet humble, that gave a positive sense of small community
4 - Credits to the teaching team, and that should be one of the key points for you to join. Dedicated gurus, that are all experts in their fields and are able to share their passion for yoga as a way of life. I came here without much of research, but realized how lucky I was, because this school is very serious about the quality of teaching while keeping a pleasant atmosphere and attentive eye on the participants needs. Very interesting classes that demonstrate the diversity of approaches to yoga. Bravo!
5 - Enjoy the course... Namaste !!

When I chose a yogashala for me, I was checking websites of different shalas in Rishikesh. I looked carefully at pictures of teachers. It was important for me - what are their faces. A look, a smile reflect the character of a person. And I wanted to be a student of real yogateachers - wise, experienced people with big heart.
I was right to come to Mira Yogashala. I had wonderful, great teachers: Vickas, Vimal, Deepak, Anuj, Katarzyna, Benkat, Glenda. Every one of them in their own way helped me to understand what is yoga. I derived invaluable knowledge. I'm greatful to each and every one of them for the light of the soul that they gave us.
I'm greatful to each stuff member from the cook to the Director for everything - for tasty indian meal, interesting excursions, perfect living conditions, cosy rooms, hot water, Wi-Fi, etc.
It was the amazing month. I found new friends from all corners of the world. I love them. I'm glad to be a part of Mira yogafamily. I believe we are together forever.

I had a great time staying at Mira yogashala. Vikas was incredible and so accommodating to us and so helpful. We had a few issues with circumstances outside of our control and Vikas did his best to help us. The location is great, out of Tapovan enough that isn't too loud but an easy and nice walk into town (check out French bakery for great coffees and delicious snacks). Teachers were good and had a lot of information and I left with a lot of knowledge but as can be expected it is a lot of information so you'll need some time after to absorb everything.

I took back a new seed that was planted within which am happy .. good to go and begin my life in order... and to share the knowledge with love and devotion...

I did the 200hr yoga teacher training course with Mira Yogashala during the month of July 2019. It has been an absolutely magical experience, which I even find challenging to describe in words. The team in Mira are extremely caring and careful to ensure their guests have their best time and all their needs are catered for - and they are great fun too :). The teachers are very, very knowledgeable, sharing with such openness, as well as listening with such openness. The food was the best ever - I absolutely fell in love with every single dish that the two cooks prepared and the variety was astonishing! I had a very peaceful, fulfilling and rewarding time with Mira Yogashala. I wholeheartedly recommend it and I look forward to returning over there.

Laura Enache (Ireland)

The teachers were all knowledgeable and attentive to our needs, I have learned a lot about yoga Asanas, and also meditation and philosophy. Every single person that works in the school is fantastic and made the stay there so memorable. I really felt like home and really feel like we built our little yoga family there.The meals were mainly traditional indian dishes, tasty and fresh each day. The menu would vary every day and rarely the same dish was repeated. Most importantly not too spicy, but very tasty. The building itself was very new, hot water, fan in each room, wifi. The school was always clean in the communal area and we cleaned our own room and bathroom. The schedule allowed us to have some free time for studying and exploring Rishkesh as well. The school organized trips, to see the sunrise and to the Ganga beach. Everyone that worked in the school was fantastic: Anuji, my favorite teacher of them all taught me a lot about alignment and much more, every day I was looking forward for his classes. Deepak, morning classes were the perfect start of the day.Glenda, our mantra teacher changed completely my mind and idea of mantras.Anatomy, philosophy and meditation were as equally interesting as the yoga classes.Vikas, was both a teacher and a manager of the school. Last but not least, Romi, that took fantastic pictures, assured that everything would run smoothly and was always there in case you needed a hug.

Mariella Tonzanu (United States)

Our group was small - just four of us, which was brilliant. It felt like being part of a big family - lots of teasing and fun, but also amazing support and caring. The teachers are very knowledgeable, skilled and competent, and the yoga teachers really push you to achieve optimum results. Very talented chef, clean rooms and building. Lots of local shops, cafes etc nearby

Mira Yogashala is more than just a yoga school, it's like a family. The teachers (as well as the rest of the staff) are all both passionate and knowledgable about their job, everyone of them is just wonderful. Very high quality standard of teaching. I learned so much during this month, more than I could have ever imagined! (And I'm not a total beginner). The food is delicious and the rooms are nice, hot water provided, and really good standard for India. Mira Yogashala feels like a home away from home, really. And Vikas is the golden soul that will always be there for you and take care of you, whatever you need. Thanks to him you will never feel lost. The school is also very responsive to feedback and puts really big effort in meeting your needs. This is extraordinary. From the bottom of my heart I can sincerely recommend you Mira Yogashala, you won't regret your choice.

Glenda Satiro ( Switzerland )

I am extremely glad that I chose Mira Yogashala for yoga teacher training. The teachers are incredible, they are very knowledgable and good at sharing their knowledge. I learned so much during my month there, so much more than I could have ever imagined. I enjoyed every class, from morning hatha yoga to anatomy to philosophy and everything else. The training was very intense but also very rewarding, I felt that I developed a lot, both within yoga and as a person. I hope that many more people will get the chance to dive deeper into themselves and into the traditions of yoga at Mira Yogashala.
