Student stories
“I just completed my 85h Yin Yoga teacher training and I am really glad of my experience here. Rajneesh is super lovely and helpful, teachers are really knowledgeable and experienced. If you want a school with not too big a group, a really personalised experience and good quality learning, here is a great place! I really recommend it and I hope to be back at some point for new teachings.”
“I had done a short retreat at Arogya Yoga School and it was EXCELLENT! I HIGHLY recommend it if you are looking for a complete mind-body reset. You have to remember that it’s not a hotel and therefore take your own toiletries. It’s a school with very basic amenities. The facilities are neat and clean, and also spartan. The simple vegetarian food served was delicious.”
