Yoga School in Rishikesh - Yoga Alliance Certified

"Doing my 200-hour teacher training at Mimamsa Yogshala was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life, truly! I came to Rishikesh not knowing exactly what to expect, and I left feeling changed in the best possible way. The teachers are incredibly profound, humble, and supportive. I learned so much, not only about asanas, but also philosophy, pranayama, meditation, and the true meaning of yoga. The Yogshala, Rishikesh, Ganga and the Himalayas created such a peaceful environment. I feel more connected to myself now, more grounded, and more clear about my path. I'm immensely grateful for this experience and for everything the teachers shared with us. Mimamsa Yogshala will always have a special place in my heart. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience real yoga, not just the physical practice, but the true essence of it. Thank you for everything. Namaste 🙏"

"Words are not enough to describe the joy and gratitude I feel for this journey at Mimamsa Yogshala. My 200H YTTC was a deeply meaningful and inspiring experience. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed with kindness, care, and genuine warmth. The teachers are highly skilled and knowledgeable, and above all they transmit a true passion for yoga in everything they teach. I really enjoyed Hatha and Ashtanga-Vinyasa Yoga, I especially loved the Pranayama, Kundalini, Ayurveda, and Mantra Chanting courses. The school also organized special experiences such as sunrise at the temple, outdoor yoga by the Ganga beach, a cooking class, and the magical Ganga Aarti. Mimamsa Yogshala is more than a yoga school — it has become a new family to me! With sincere gratitude, Georgia 🙏🏻✨🤍"

"My experience at Mimamsa has been a truly wonderful adventure! I completed my 500 YTT with Mimamsa, and it is an unforgettable memory. The teachers are highly qualified and teach not only from theory, but from their own lived experience of yoga as a way of life. They welcomed me and embraced me as part of their family. I arrived without knowing what I was looking for and I leave with my suitcase full — I learned about mantras, pranayama, philosophy, alignment, Ayurveda, cooking, sound healing, reiki… and more! We celebrated Christmas and New Year together as a family. I leave with a full heart — overflowing. Samarpanam (surrender) will always remain in my heart, together with the name Mimamsa. Thank you, Mimamsa, for opening the doors of your home — a truly special place ✨"

"I completed my 200hr teacher training here recently and would highly recommend this place. I had an amazing time and made such nice connections. Mimamsa has amazing, knowledgeable and passionate teachers. The area is super sweet allowing you to connect with locals or other visitors. I learned so much about life and my body in a short time. If you are looking for a good yoga school that is authentic then this is your school!"

All lectures were engaging and informative with a good range of theory and practice. Food provided in the school was really good and I felt well nourished. Any problems I had were resolved immediately and in responsible manner. Thanks Mimamsa!"

"I had my best time in last few years in Mimamsa Yogshala. I can say that this experience was 100% beyond my expectations. Every teacher was super nice and very prepared. A special thank goes to Manoj, who cared about us all the time. He teaches me a lot, and I will come back for sure one day in Rishikesh, with no doubt. The chefs were also very nice and cooked for us every very delicious meals. I'm feeling I learned a lot of new things about the whole Yoga, and I can feel I could run a class easily with their method. Thank you so much for having made me feel better after this month 🙏🏼"

"My experience at Mimamsa Yogshala was absolutely wonderful! I was extremely lucky to have a good class size and many opportunities to learn and learn to teach. The staff are all wonderful and are extremely helpful and supportive — I truly felt like I was a part of a yoga family! The teachers are all unique and amazing choices that have only been more inspiring to me. The variety of classes and topics make the time pass so quickly. I truly wish to go back to learn more — I know I will be returning for the 300 hour course. This course is tough, but we are all tougher! It is a place to learn about yourself and the universe — if your journey takes you to Manoji and Rohitji then consider yourselves extremely fortuitous! :)"

"Truly exceeded my expectations. The teachers are really genuine and incredible people passionate about sharing the heart of yoga. The food was delicious and left me feeling so healthy. The atmosphere and people from all over the world in the course created an incredibly supportive community for growth. Rishikesh is a magical gem that I am sad to leave."

"Mimamsa Yoga Shala holds such a special place in my heart. What I love the most is the genuine care and attention you receive — especially when you go through challenges, whether it's an injury or sickness. You always know Mimamsa family will be there for you and do their very best to support and guide you. Each teacher carries such deep knowledge and wisdom, and they are a true inspiration — a reflection of what I aspire to become on my own yoga journey. The energy, the people, the teachings… everything was absolutely wonderful. It's a place that nourishes you on every level. Thank you ❤️"

"I had the opportunity to complete my first 200-hour yoga teacher training at Mimamsa in December. The teachers are very professional and have a deep understanding of yoga and its philosophy. They don't pressure or overload students — instead, they generously share their knowledge and wisdom. Manoj leads the ashram very well and seems to have a kind of 'sixth sense' for what students need at any given moment. I'm truly grateful that I chose Mimamsa for my first certification. The food was mostly amazing, the cooking class was great, and they made us a special Christmas dinner which was truly wonderful. Despite some inconveniences typical of any ashram, I'm very happy with my decision. Mimamsa is a really good school where you can build a solid foundation for future teaching. Well worth the money! 🙏"

"The universe has brought us all here in Rishikesh to the Mimamsa Yogshala family. We come from diverse places with one goal: to receive this Masterful Teaching from the Mimamsa Yogshala team. I dare to believe that we will meet again here or elsewhere so that this light may continue to shine. With love and brotherly affection. Hare Krishna 🙏"

"I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training here and it was truly a life-changing experience. The location is absolutely stunning — one of the tallest buildings in the village with panoramic views of the Ganga, mountains, and temple. Peaceful mornings with monks practicing at sunrise made it unforgettable. The teachers are deeply knowledgeable, authentic, and teach straight from the heart. When they sing mantras, you feel pure magic in the room. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic yoga journey in Rishikesh. 🙏"

"A truly life-changing experience. I have recently completed the 200-hour YTT and my heart is filled with gratitude. I am beyond thankful to every teacher who shared their knowledge, and so grateful to have crossed paths with so many wonderful people. The structure of the course was very well thought out — as demanding as it is, it never felt overwhelming, and I always felt supported. This goes far beyond a teacher training course. I have truly never felt more grounded and present. The month I spent at Mimamsa helped me reconnect with myself on a deeper level, bringing more clarity and awareness into my everyday life. Thank you all 🕉️🙏"

"This was the best experience of my life! So grateful to be part of this beautiful yoga family. From the very first moment I had the best hospitality. Professors are really attentive and care for every student. If you need a nice and structured program and are willing to dedicate yourself to the process of growing up spiritually, mentally and physically — take a part in Mimamsa Yogshala! 🙏🌞❤️"

"Mimamsa Yogashala will forever have a special place in my heart! The teachers are exceptional with a huge depth of knowledge. I really enjoyed the satvic diet — I noticed a lot of positive changes in my body due to the change of routine, practice, diet and overall thought process. We studied Hatha, Ashtanga, Pranayama, Anatomy, Philosophy, Meditation, Kundalini, Ayurvedic medicine, had a sound healing session, and got our Reiki Level 1 certificate facilitated by a grandmaster. We also visited caves, temples, and did yoga by Mother Ganga 🧘🏻‍♀️. The group I was in I consider family now. Much love and namaste. Hare Krishna 🌀✨🕉️🙏🏼"

"A truly life-changing experience! I am extremely grateful. The teaching staff is profoundly knowledgeable, and they embody the authentic yoga lifestyle. The food was incredible — so nourishing and prepared with love. Plus, the location is absolutely perfect for deep study and practice. I highly recommend it!"

"More Than a School — A True Yoga Family. I recently completed my 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Mimamsa Yogashala in Rishikesh, and I can honestly say the reality far exceeded what the website promised. I felt looked after from the very beginning — you're treated as a person, not just another number in a batch. The teachers are not only highly knowledgeable, but also embody the true spirit of yoga — compassion, kindness, patience, and respect. You don't just learn about asanas, anatomy, and philosophy — you learn how to live yoga both on and off the mat. If you're looking for an authentic, grounding, and deeply transformative experience, I couldn't recommend Mimamsa Yogashala more. Namaste 🙏🏻"

"I truly had the best month at Mimamsa Yogshala. The staff and teachers are all incredible, sharing such a wealth of wisdom and knowledge as well as warmth, compassion and non-judgement. The training is so rich — the schedule includes so many valuable and fun lessons, excursions, as well as space for solo time and study. The food was particularly delicious: every meal felt so fresh, healthy, diverse and varied. The rooms are simple and clean with peaceful rooftops for solo practice and sunshine. I really liked the area of Rishikesh — it has a lovely quiet village feeling with cafes to visit during free time. To anyone considering Mimamsa, I would really recommend booking it. My experience at Mimamsa felt magical. ✨"

"Studying 200 TTC at Mimamsa last year has changed my life for the better. The experience touched me so deeply that I have continued all the practices — pranayama and asana are almost daily, and I live my life more mindfully now. I came to Mimamsa to deepen my own practice, not sure if teaching would be my path. But now I feel it is my responsibility to share this way of life — keeping intact the spiritual elements and the full 8 limbs of yoga. It has transformed me and my way of life and now I help others to do the same. Very grateful to Manoj and the Mimamsa team. I will be returning for 300hrs soon. Highly recommend! 🙏🕉️"

"Mimamsa Yogshala changed my life! The 200-hour TTC was not just about learning asanas but a deep dive into Indian philosophy and spirituality. Yogi Manoj is an incredible teacher with profound knowledge. The food, accommodation, and the vibe of Ramjhula made it a perfect month."

"After doing my 200 hours elsewhere, I came to Mimamsa for my 300 hours, and the difference was night and day. The attention to alignment and the depth of anatomy classes were outstanding. Highly recommended for anyone serious about teaching yoga."

"I came for a 7-day retreat and left with a full heart. The location near the Ganges is peaceful, and the meditation sessions were magical. It felt like a home away from home. I will definitely be back!"

"Being from India, I was looking for an authentic school, and Mimamsa stood up to expectations. No commercial gimmicks, just pure traditional yoga. The small batch size meant we all got personal attention."

"I feel so grateful for all I learnt at the Mimamsa Yogshala. All the teachers are very gentle and teach with great professional knowledge and years of experience."
