Hi, I'm Emily from England, and I came to Soham Yoga School to complete my yoga teacher training. This school is truly amazing, with authentic and knowledgeable teachers who follow the true path of yoga. The instructors are exceptional, and I’ve learned so much from them. The location is perfect—peaceful and centered, yet away from the crowds and close to the Ganges, which adds to the tranquility. The food is incredibly healthy, with a variety of vegetarian meals featuring fruits and vegetables. The community here is wonderful; everyone on the course is friendly and welcoming, making you feel like part of a family. I highly recommend Soham Yoga School, whether for a yoga retreat or a 200-hour teacher training. Both experiences are incredibly beneficial. Thank you so much!

Hi everyone, I’m Sharnea, and I’m currently at Soham Yoga School for a 21-day yoga retreat. This is my first time doing something like this, and it has been an extraordinary experience. I’ve learned so much, and my stay here has been truly out of this world. The teaching is top-notch, and the food is absolutely delicious. From what I’ve experienced over the past 20 days, this place offers everything you could hope for. I highly recommend Soham Yoga School for both teacher training programs and yoga retreats. It’s the perfect place to be. Thank you so much, and Namaste.

"My 200-hour TTC has been amazing—truly one of the BEST experiences of my life. The teachers are kind, knowledgeable, and fluent in English, making everything very clear. The program includes a diverse range of lessons, such as philosophy, Ayurveda, anatomy, various meditation techniques, and, of course, pranayama." — Sharon Roddy
