I had a wonderful time at Pratham yoga. The small group, quite and peaceful ashram with nice facilitys and trips to places nearby just made it perfect. All of the teachers are amazing. I learned so much more than I expected about yoga, anatomy, philosophy, asanas, alignment, ayurveda and meditation. I am very grateful and would chose Pratham always for another teacher training.
The decision to come to this school highly influenced my life in such a beautiful way. The teachers and staff members are amazing, they give you their 110% in everything they do. You feel taken care of and cherished since the beginning. The location is great because it provides you with a lot of peace and allows for you to focus on the program. You are surrounded by nature and the ganga river. I would completely recommend this school for your yoga training, at the end we were all very sad to leave and incredibly grateful for our experience.
Yesterday, I finished my YTT 200 hours at Pratham Yoga School. I canβt express enough my gratitude for this amazing journey guided by incredibly inspiring teachers. All the teachers and the rest of the team feel like family. The location of the school is beautiful, the sound of the river is a gift every day again. I can highly recommend Pratham Yoga School if youβre looking for teachers that have enough personal attention for all their students, share their knowledge with so much enthusiasm and give an experience which is way more than only becoming a yoga teacher. Thank you to everyone from Pratham Yoga School! πβ¨

Besides the learning advantage the smaller group size makes also possibe to create beautiful bonds and deep friendships with your fellow students. Many students stay in contact with Pratham Yoga Team long after the course and the team remembers each and every one who has graduated in the past.
