Suryans (not Surinder) the iyengar teacher is one of the top 3 teachers in Rishikesh. I was recommended of him from another teacher who taught him. I have had over 150 teachers in my life and hands down the best from the lot because of the attention to detail.I was with him everyday for 25 days and these are the results:1. Opened by back after having a hunchback all my life.2. Legs are totally toned after explaining the tadassana pose properly.3. He doesnt shout or scream like other iyengar teachers.4. Hes really and truly humble. He gives 100% of his effort so you better give the same.5. I have no idea how his classes are not full because hes like a hidden jewelAdvice: Come 15 minutes early because Google maps hasnt marked his address properly.

I cannot find words to describe Suryans Thakur teaching.I spend 2 weeks in Rishikesh searching for the right teacher and a good friend suggested him to me.All i can say is that this man made me understand the meaning of Iyenkar yoga.his kindness and high mindedness the same time is all i will remember .thank you Teacher i feel blessed that i met you.love from Greece

I attended the 10 days intensive Iyengar yoga and it was an excellent choice, i got to deepen the knowledge of many asanas learning very specific alignment, the teacher Jaya is brilliant with instructions and at the same time a wonderful person. Highly recommended to anyone that searches for understanding body mechanics, correct movement and sequencing.

Amazing experience, amazing teaching team ,highly recommended. I did my 200 hours TTC and I could not be happier

Having many injuries in the past, I have to be very careful how I practice yoga and for that reason I need a knowledgeable and experienced teacher. Suryans is one of them, and on a top of being professional with his teaching, he is also humble and modest. Highly recommended for those who look for a proper alignment and technique, but at the same time are prepared for hard and challenging work for mind and body.

I visit OM YOGA in 2011 in rishikesh I am so glade I been there learn a lot did my 200 hour teachers training, team was very good to teach me everything about yoga and I still go there to Improve myself time to time I highly recommend OM YOGA for teacher training. Asharm is very nice peaceful environment Ganga river and surrounded by beautiful mountain. Thanks OM YOGA hope to go again next year

I spent a week in Rishikesh and stumbled upon this studio. I went everyday twice a day for my whole visit. Suryans is an incredible teacher, patient, observant, and thorough. Highly suggest this class!

Suryans is a very gifted teacher. I signed up for the ten-day Iyengar course in early January, and was so impressed with the level of teaching that I stayed on in Rishikesh for another two weeks, so that I could continue to take classes with Suryans. He is very thorough and precise in his instructions, has great empathy with his students, giving a lot of individual attention and bringing out the best in them with kindness and a gentle sense of humour. Highly recommended, I will definitely return to Om Yoga Rishikesh.

Suryan kind and soft approach on Iyengar makes him very special .I did 200 hours and truly changed my practice not to mention the effect on all of the injuries i have collected through years of heavy training.If you are coach ,trainer or just want to deepen your practice I could not suggest better man for the job .

Suryans offers easy to follow instruction in how to improve ones yoga practice through proper engagement of the right muscles, so you are not compromising the integrity of your body. He weaves in yogic philosophy about how the quality of our asanas reflects the qualities of the mind. Highly recommended to everybody!

Let me tell you in brief about my Om Yoga experience.Despite I was not a beginner, I have rediscovered the very basic asanas of yoga. I was really impressed by the instructor who made us concentrate on each and every muscle involved in this or that posture to achieve correct alignment of all parts of the body within each asana. This precision added a lot to my strength and balance.During the classes we used rope wall, bolsters, bricks and chairs that was a good support while practicing more advanced poses and gave me extra experience.Each time I leaved Om Yoga with a sense of well being and happiness.Natalia Babakishvili, Tbilisi, Georgia

Suryans is a great teacher, with attention for details and all different levels of yoga practice among the students. His love for yoga shows in the way he teaches his class!Thanks for the amazing workshop at Yoga Hathi in Eindhoven.

I have met Tushar in Bruxelles through a 5h session of yoga. It was a great moment to reconnect and go over habits. Thanks a lot

Nice classes !!! I feel so welcoming In the dropping class ;) I learn so much!! Thank you for the teaching 🙏🏻

Wonderful teacher. I did 20 days with Mr. Sryans really improved and learned a lot. He is a very patient and experienced teacher. More Iyenga style .Highly recommend.

It was amazing for me in Om yoga Rishikesh to study ,Suryans sir give much pay attention during yoga class how to alignmentAlignment was wonderful ,many thanks to om yoga Rishikesh

Suryans is an incredible teacher with eye for detail and a great love for yoga. He came to my yoga studio Yoga Hathi in Eindhoven, Netherlands, as a guest teacher and everybody was very enthusiastic about it. One girl even said: Downward Dog has never been the same since. :) Thank you Suryans, hope we meet again soon!

It’s wonderful to be in some of Yogi Sunil Thakur’s Iyengar workshops in Sivananda Yoga Studio, Taipei, Taiwan. I am a senior yoga practitioner and it’s my first time to get to experience Sunil’s teaching methods. He’s humble, passionate, patient and down-to-earth. I love he merged lots of yogic philosophy, art of life and humor into the strict Iyengar way of asana practices, especially with a focus on alignment. He gave quite detailed instructions on each asana so that you would not be lost or hurt during the practice but receive most of physical and spiritual benefits after. To me, he is a yoga teacher who would give you a new perspective to look at a yoga pose you’ve been practicing countless times on the mat. A reliable guide in the path of yoga.

I know om yoga Rishikesh last two years .me and my friends they had yoga teacher training in om yoga Rishikesh teacher are Great .And suryans iyengar yoga teacher has been in China I know him from there then I come here in Rishikesh I loved him he teach so good and other teacher in om yoga Rishikesh too .Thank you om yoga Rishikesh and suryans teacher

I recommend 100%. We have already gone twice because we love their classes and how they organize everything. A very close and professional treatment

My couple and I spent a week in Rishikesh taking a alignment Iyengar course with Suryans at his studio, and it was awasome. He is a great teacher with a lot of knowlegde. Although what we liked the most was him and his way of teaching yoga. I would recommed him 100% without any doubt if you want go deep into yoga.

I had the occasion to practice several time under the guide of Suryans Thakur and that always was a moment of wonderful practice; something that stayed with me for days after and that is always in me during daily practice. More than that, one could imagine a classic Yoga class, but this is also a school of life, because of the every-time change of the class. Hope Ill have very soon the occasion to go to Rishikesh or Suryans comes back to Europe.

Traveling to India was one of the most amazing trips of my life, and Suryans was a great teacher. He taught my friend and I, hands on and worked with us on every level. He also showed us Rishikesh, took us shopping, and to some great places...one being a cave where yogis have meditated for many years...this experience must not be missed. Suryans has studied yoga from the best..treat your self to a sacred experience.

Unfortunately, my opinion is only based on one class where I had an honour to practice with Sunil, but I will definitely go back next time I am in Rishikesh. He is experienced ansexperience and pays a lot of attention to details. He is serious but friendly and pleasant enough to make you feel at home. My friends did a weeks training with him and LOVED Sunil and his way of teaching. Thank you Sunil. Hari OM 🙏🙏🙏

Great experience - attentive, thorough, and informative. The ashram is quiet, with a small studio, making it more personal.

I have been practising with Suryans over a month and I have never seen that much progress in my body for the past two years of practising yoga. His alligments are precisly described. His instructions are clear with enthusiasm and he pays attention to the needs of every student. Suryans knows how to open students abilities. The energy in class leads by him is suiting and it makes everyone comfortable.His knowledge and devotion to yoga are very rare to find it .I visited over 15 yoga schools in Rishikesh and can truly say that Suryans teaching is one of my favourite experience.

I cannot recommend Suryans highly enough. If you want to take your practice to the next level in every way Suryans is the teacher for you.I have never seen such a change in my body and clarity in my yoga practice. Due to Suryans expert teaching I have seen my body and my asana practice totally transform. I am now completely converted to Iyengar Yoga. This is a complete method for healing body, mind and spirit.I was put off the practice before by overly critical teachers. Suryans knows how to get the best out of his students in a loving and caring way.His observational skills are excellent and he is very attentive to every student. He teaches the classes based on the students level of maturity as a yoga practitioner therefore no two classes are the same.Suryans has a vast wealth of knowledge and he has new things to share in every class. I am always amazed at how much he knows his knowledge seems endless!I dont think you will find a better teacher than him, he is everything a great teacher should be and more. Suryans is a special person and I will continue to come back to learn from him every year.

Suryans is an excellent yoga teacher.Precise information about how to perform asanas made possible a miraculous progression.I felt that yoga is his passion and that fact made very enjoyable the classes.He is professional, humble and modest.All this together are the reasons why I will make the effort of returning to Rishikesh and attend more classes.

Suryans is a wonderfull teacher, I met him few years ago in Belgium and every time he comes I learn a lot of new things especially working safely. What I love about his lessons is the different variations of classical asana he offers. Hes the perfect incarnation of Sthira Sukham Asanam, a powerful and benevolent workshop. Thanks a lot Suryans

I spent 1,5 month practicing yoga with Suryans and Ive learnt really a lot about body alignment and anatomy. His classes are very detailed and he really is a very professional teacher, yet his classes are light and hes got the right stories to explain the how and why of the postures & breathing excercises. I would highly recommend Om Yoga Rishikesh to new and experienced students!

I recently completed 200-hour teacher training at Om Yoga Rishikesh which I highly recommend.Suryans teaches Hatha yoga with an emphasis on Iyengar yoga techniques in structural alignment and positioning. I had been practising Iyengar yoga for some years and I found his teachings to be very good and beneficial. My capability to perform all asanas improved during the course with guidance to improve alignment and strength and to reduce a reliance I had on using too many props.I have a greater understanding of yoga positions and Sanskrit language now and I felt the course was transformaive not just physically, as I obtained a greater understanding of yoga philosophy also. The yoga philosophy material was very thorough and was presented simply to enable a practical understanding to apply yoga into life.The ayurveda course material was very good and we were lectured by an Ayurveda Doctor. One of the Sadhus, spiritual men in Rishikesh taught us some meditation techniques also.The yoga school is very nice and well equipped. It is situated next to a temple and hearing mantras from the temple also provides an authentic Indian Rishikesh experience.I felt the course at Om Yoga Rishikesh was very good to improve my yoga, obtain a broader understanding to the many aspects of yoga and to learn how to teach yoga.

Suryans Thakur is a wonderful Iyengar Hatha teacher. Explaining, observing and aligning with great knowledge. It only takes one class to tell that he simply loves what he do! I have honestly never experienced this kind of sincerity and clarity from any other teacher before. He brings a very wise and professional energy to the room and creates a safe space for your yoga practice. I have fx never been able to do headstand in class before and suddenly without any help but his presence I was able to do it. I will recommend to join his class if you have the slightest wish to improve your health through yoga and want to go deeper in exploring your body step by step in a nonjudgemental way. We can all learn a lot from this dear teacher. Thank you, Suryans.

Suryans Thakur is one if the best yoca teachers in the world today, Suryans teaches great wisdom and intuition. He is extreamly skilled and has a powerful and warm prescense that nakes you feel very secure. I simply love histeaching-,

We have had a wonderful session, and look forward to enjoy him another time.

I live in New York and my first visit to India was in April 2015. I was really looking forward to focusing on yoga and was lucky enough to be referred to Suryans on my first day in Rishikesh. I loved the Iyengar style because of the focus on how to improve each posture. I liked that the location is away from the center of the busy streets and that windows surround the studio so that you feel like you are practicing outdoors. Suryans is the most skilled yoga teacher I have come across, and he has a kindness and humility that makes it effortless for you to work hard. Suryans is also technical – he approaches yoga from a place of knowledge, including expertise on the physical body and bone structure. I highly recommend this class for anyone committed to improving their practice at all levels.

Suryans is not only the best Iyengar style teacher in Rishikesh but also one of the most experienced ones. Learning with him is like a trascendental experience.

I went to Rishikesh to focus on my yoga and was recommended Suryans. I did his 10 days intensive Iyengar class and found his classes so informative and helpful.. Suryans takes a lot care and attentions to individual needs, he is thorough in his knowledge of yoga not only on a physical level but spiritual emotional and mental. Which is what yoga is all about. I found my awareness and performance improved because of his knowledge. If you are serious about Iyengar yoga and would like to practice with someone who cares I would definitely recommend Suryans.

Good

The 10 day course iyengar yoga is very good. The food is excellent, the accommodation is good and the teachers are very attentive and professional. It is a highly recommended experience.

Iyengar’s new experience, an experience class by teacher Yogi Sunil from IndiaI have been teaching in the Yoga Realm (Sivananda Yoga Studio, Taipei, Taiwan) for many years. Every time the teachers from abroad have taught me a lot, I have been invited to the classroom by Yogi Sunil from India. The teachers have new cognition and experience.The first action made me like his class, and I look forward to the next class. In the past, I thought that every teacher Iyengar liked to play and kick while teaching. It seemed to have become Iyengar’s mark. This time, Teacher Yogi Sunil was completely different. He carefully and gently adjusted our every movement. , Correct our mistakes seriously, and all with smiles. When I went to Iyengar to study in the past, I always had a little worry in my heart. Will the teacher be like this? Will it be like that? In the process of guidance, I always hope that the teacher can raise points more gently. In this experience class, I found that Yogi Sunil has his own style. He doesnt talk much or insults when he teaches. He is serious and focused, gentle and attentive. In the past, the first action of most Iyengar teachers was the mountain standing posture. It was either the internal test of the thighs or the heels. The footwork of Yogi Sunil was completely different. The first action showed his unique style. The same is mountain style, but the method is different. Instead of copying Iyengars tradition, he uses his own experience to tell us that this is Iyengar on the basis of Iyengar.In this experiential class, my learning and feelings are also a new kind of cognition and trial. In addition, if you have watched Indian movies, Yogi Sunil also has a celebritys frame and face, that kind of familiar encounter, as if we are in a movie scene, practicing yoga together, and experiencing the power and beauty of yoga together. (By Ren Meng Dream, Yoga Teacher from Sivananda Yoga Studio, Taipei, Taiwan)

Sunil teacher can always use the seemingly simple but in-depth movements to easily develop the operation of every part of my body. This seven-day course can feel different changes in the body in the first two days. It is highly recommended, no matter if you are Be a yoga teacher or a well-behaved yoga practice.

Thank you, teacher Sunil, for carefully explaining the correctness of the muscle skeleton required for each basic movement, and sharing his teaching experience around the world.I am very touched.
