Extremely clean rooms. A Devine experience. View from balcony was amazing. Just 400 m away from Ramjhula. Pictures posted are taken from the room balcony. Don’t miss the Aarti at Shatrughan ghat which is right next to Ganga Sadan

The past reviews and published photos do not do justice to the beauty of this ashram and the surroundings.. Extremely clean rooms with warm beddings... Mine is a twin room without a heater (inr 1050 per room on a twin sharing basis (but you can request for a room with a heater if you want). The toilets are clean - with a water heater and a jet spray... Cleaning of the rooms are done everyday 3rd day but you can request for cleaning daily. You need to bring your own toothpaste, towels, napkins, toothbrush, toilet roll, shampoo etc.Breakfast, lunch and dinner is available at an additional chargeIyengar yoga classes are held at the ashram daily from 3:30pm - 5:00 PM.My bedroom overlooks the ganga and there is no better way to wake up.

Pros:- Excellent teachers especially Ekta who goes into great detail. She might seem unhappy but makes it entertaining and shes really good at her job- They have a spotter who makes sure youre doing the pose right- it can be cheap if you subscribe to the full week.Cons:- if you pay upfront, you can lose out on money if you dont turn up to the class.- no refund policy in the shop even if you notice the items are damaged (like how I noticed on the books I bought)- the books and equipment in the shop is well expensive compared to a shop around the corner.- books are not in mink conditionAdvice -1. DONT BUY ANYTHING from the shop because theres no refund policy.2. Start the class on Monday so you can at least get full coverage of the classes cheaper of the week.3. Try sitting closer to the stage rather than the back so you can see what the teacher is doing.4. DONT pay your money for the week course all on the same day because if you dont attend, you wont get your money back. Its better to pay per day as its the same price.

Excellent place. We have gone 3 times there with family. Not expensive and Best place in Rishikesh. Good supporting staff. Very cooperative. Definitely will choose the same place to stay if get chance to visit Rishikesh again :)

I am a regular visitor to this place. I came here 3 years before for the first time to attend philosophy and Yoga classes and since then i have been hooked to them, they are amazing.. The place is also beautiful and extremly clean, i always enjoy the peace and stay here, highly recommended

Lucky was I to get a room during a sold out intensive yoga teacher training. Lucky was I to get one of the rooms with a balcony above the Ganges, enjoying the moonlight while glancing over Ram Jhula bridge on my first night in Rishikesh. The staff is half friendly and half unfriendly. If you can live with that and around 1500 Rs per night, you get your very own private Ganges facing room and 1 minute walk from bathing in the sacred river.If you want to join the beginner classes in iyengar yoga, be sure to keep in mind that it is for beginners of Iyengar yoga, not beginners of yoga in general like me 😆 Yet, the strict teacher made me succeed in the first asana we did - headstand. Which I never believed I would be able to do during my first class. Thank you!

This is where true yoga is taught in Rishikesh. Grateful for all the teaching I had received. Namaste

Great place to learn extensive yoga asana by a person who’s healing journey has been through asana practice. Took the Philosophy course and that was quite educational.

Oh my godness...Usha Devi on April 1st 2019 @6 pm course:Look at her, she doesnt do it correctly!Do you speak English, do you understand?Are you Chinese, where are you coming from?If you dont understand English why are you here?If people dont understand English, they should stay at home to practice by themselves.My Indian friends have told me that Usha was so rude... When they arrived there, theyve first been told that these Iyengar courses were for not for Rishikesh people... 😳 So they had to prove they werent to be able to attend the course...Usha is a great Iyengar teacher, thats true.But why this attitude?The energy there is so special... Shes acting like a queen mother with her private royal court supporting her...Paid for 2 lessons but definitely didnt want to take the 2nd one...

+ After looking for a serious yoga lesson in Rishikesh during days, I found finally a real good master, Usha Devi!So if you come to Rishikesh to practice a serious yoga, you should definitely go there.- The price for a class is a little bit expensive for Rishikesh (800 INR) and you will be able to practice with her only 1h30 per day.

Amazing place where the real yoga practicing happening. Its not every time easily can tell by short term stopped by tourist-yoga practitioners.but for real practitioners this is the place

Nice place to practice iyengar style of yoga in Rishikesh. In house kitchen serves simple and delicious food.

The Best place to practice Iyengar Hatha Yoga, with Usha Ji and Ekta Ji.

Usha Devi is one of the best Iyengar teachers out there. Rooms are clean and Ganga view rooms have truly amazing views. Due to the location, there is loud chanting in mornings and evenings from the various aarti ceremonies along the river. Classes are not expensive and beginner classes are also available. Food is also available and is hygienic and delicious. The best way to contact the centre to reserve is via email.

Best yoga school in Rishikesh who wish to learn authentic Iyengar Yoga. Location is best, just beside Ram Jhula bridge and on Ganga river bank. Teachers are well trained. Reasonable fees.

Serene and beautiful.

Staff here is very good..nice place to stay

Usha Devi is one of the best Iyengar Yoga teachers in the world. Is you come here it is to learn Iyengar Yoga.

Great place with great ambience. A must visit place when works/life in cities get stressful.

I SO LOVED TO WALK ALONG THE GANGES AND TOOK THIS PICTURE FROM THE OMKARANANDA GITA SADAN GUESTHOUSE EARLY MORNING

Good

Best place near ganga

BEHAVIOUR OF THE OWNER WAS NOT GOOD.ROOMS WERE CLEAN BUT BATHROOM WAS DIRTY.OWNER DID NOT ACCEPT CARD FOR PAYMENT,ACCEPTED CASH ONLY.EXPERIENCE WAS BAD.

Terrible place, stole our money, nothing to do with yoga, bad energy

Iyengar yoga is great!

On the banks of ganga

Minimalist, austere, effective.

Good place

Very bad experience

Yoga

Normal

Ideal for de M yoga practitioners! (Laughs)Yoga while shouting at a Swiss granny cant relax and relax!Addicted practitioners quickly go through two and three years.However, there is a guarantee that asanas will be good.Your yoga concept may change!Well try it once!

I would like to share the experience of living and learning.Accommodation: prepare yourself for the absence of the soul and its acceptance from the bucket and ladle; not very serviceable toilet bowls, which will be cleaned not now, but tomorrow. The view from the window is beautiful, but very noisy, sleep will not work. Straw mattresses (someone is a plus, someone is a minus :-)) you can not hope for clean linen. Not very kind administrators. You meet the look, as if we owe him money. Is always. Conclusion: the conditions are spartan, to which you can get used. Accommodation price pleases - 650 rupees per day per room.Training: if it is not very important, then you can attend not classes at Ears, but classes for beginers conducted by her student. Here and a smaller person, not on each others head will have to sit, and the atmosphere is more relaxed. And the same professional approach. And on the main courses: 60-70 people gather in a large hall, there are no distances between the mats at all. Grieves the ban on the use of its rug. We have to deal with local, not the first freshness of carpets.Please note that they are recorded for the next week on Friday-Saturday. Then you just may not get the place. Nobody told us about this when we booked for 3 months. And we were left without a place in the first week.In spite of all Indian pripony, we will return here for the sake of learning, but we will live in another place

This is not a professional place, there is no breathing exercise at all.
