Dec. 2019 - Jan. 2020 in SAMATVA YOGALAYA. A brilliant place full of memories, so much LOVE! Learn a lot, feel a lot, language is not enough to describe... U get what u deserve, always grateful~🙏 Krishna teaches very effectively in his unique way; Sangeeta has a gentle and powerful class, and cares for everyone in many ways; Aneesh helps solve daily needs; Deepak makes delicious vegetarian food. Everything is great, thanks for all! 市外桃园，平静修心，值得一去～👍

It was truly one of the best experiences of my life to train and study with Krishna and become a part of his yoga family. I’ve learned more than I ever thought possible over the course of my 500h yoga teacher training. The knowledge I gain about my self, life, and all the aspects of yoga is beyond value. The experiences I shared will remain with me for the rest of my life and I am so thankful for that!

We get what we deserve and I feel truly blessed to deserve such wonderful teachers.When you enter into Samatva Yogalaya, you enter into the house of yoga. No doubt Krishna and Sangeeta teach you asana, pranayama, philosophy, anatomy and everything you need to know; but here you are not only a student, you are treated as a family member and you get to experience the yogic life with these kind and humble people. You learn about equanimity and awareness. You learn what Yoga really is.I am grateful to be part of this yogic family!P.S.: The food is amazing!!

I had the best experience at Samatva Yogalaya with those amazing teachers Krishna and Sangeeta! I arrived there to do the 200hours and being sure I would never teach. I just wanted to improve my own practice and reconnect with my inner self. I ended up staying almost 3 months, doing the 500hours in 1 go and being all excited about teaching what Ive learned.Its a real family atmosphere, the philosophy classes are amazing , the food is great, the location is perfectly isolated in the trees but close to the cafes and shops, the rooms are big and comfortable, the teachers are very talented and invested, ...I am looking forward to going back and meet again with my indian family. Thank you for everything Krishna and Sangeeta. You brought me a lot of love and taught me a lot.

A yogi, a deeply grounded person, a true Indian, a proud Rajasthani and an amazing human being this is what Krishna ji is. It had been my privilege being trained under such a great master. He knows how to get the best out of you, and also once you join him, youre part of his family for forever.... .. I will be getting back to him whenever I can and also recommend others to experience the best, Krishna ji. 🙏🏻 Hari Om 🙏🏻

I met many teachers but few are a continuous source of yoga. I revisit Krishna for that, every year, even after I graduated with him my 300hr (2014). When you will realize what is he offering, you are already planning to get back :) so please not only join the courses he leads but be present, with love and respect.

You get what you deserve says Krishna. In the Internet maze of hundreds of yoga schools in India, I was searching for one to go to, and I found his school. Somehow, virtually, I was drawn to it and I enrolled on the 200h YTT course for October 20017. I feel honoured that I deserved to meet Krishna and become a part of his yoga family.Krishna is an ocean of knowledge, an oasis of peace and his heart is a goblet full of genuine love. And he shares all of this with each and every single one of his students, whom he treats like members of his family.Time spent with Krishna and Sangeeta was for me life changing. Not only have I learnt many aspects of yoga, but most of all, I learnt about myself, I expanded my horizons and acceptance. I took Krishnas teachings home and even now, over a year after the course, I can still hear his voice and teachings in moments of my life when turbulences occur.Samatva Yogalaya is definitely the best place to come to learn yoga, acceptance, gratitude and positivity.The building is placed in stunning surroundings, peaceful and quiet. The food is also delicious every time.Thank you Krishna and Sangeeta.

While nearly all websites for Teacher Trainings in India are the same, this school Samatva Yogalaya and its principal teacher Krishna are definitely unique. I was lucky enough to be the second batch of 300h students at his new school, and it was definitely one of the best choices I have made in my life.One can gather, by reading through these reviews of Krishna and his (relatively new) school, Samatva Yogalya, that he is a very special person and an amazing teacher.While there are many good teachers in India and Rishikesh, Krishna stands out beautifully, because of his most sincere dedication to yoga -as perfection in all action- and to the spiritual growth and progress of his students, before ever thinking about the business side of things.Having learned the scriptures from a young age; being blessed with a near photographic memory; having studied medicine for some time (and thus intimately knowing the human body) make Krishna a uniquely gifted teacher of yoga. In the middle of a demonstration he can quote any of the important yoga scriptures in both Sanskrit and English, complete with verse and chapter number, while at the same time he is keen to investigate and discuss anything from a scientific perspective.This already makes Krishna one of the best teachers I have encountered anywhere in the world, but what makes him stand above anyone I have encountered is his wisdom and his good heart, which naturally reflects in the way he treats his students, being family to any true student.

I wish there was a way I could give this more than a 5 star rating. I completed my 300hr YTT with Krishna as my instructor back in 2013, and words cant adequately explain the experience he blessed me with. Krishna has this unexplainable kindness and nurturing energy. I look back on my months of training, at only 19 years of age, and my mind goes immediately to him and his incredible ability to listen, teach, love and nurture.After I completed my training with Krishna, I went onto study Kinesiology at University, as during my time in India, he fostered my love for human anatomy and urged me to follow that once unknown passion of mine. I still to this day (3 years later) keep in touch with Krishna regularly, and can safely say his teachings are something that will stay with me forever.I urge anyone looking to learn the true meaning of yoga to seek out Krishna. Words cannot explain enough how much he has changed my life and how much respect and love flows through my veins for him - my lifelong teacher, father and guru.

I graduated from Krishnas 2nd round of 300hr course in Rishikesh March 2013. I am honored and so grateful I got to study with him. He is knowledgeable, kind and funny too!In 2015, I visited India again for a longer trip (9weeks) with the intention of not going back to Rishikesh. At my 7th week, I needed some place familiar. I needed a piece of home. Rishikesh was calling. Krishna was gracious enough to let me sit in on his lectures and participate in a meditation and cleansing. The experience of returning to my school and my teachers was indescribable. It came at a time where I needed comfort. Krishna was a great mentor and advisor.Anyone that wants to study yoga in India, must study with Krishna. It is an absolute must.He is knowledgable on not only the physical practice, but the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita and Hatha Yoga Pradipika too! A wealth of knowledge on Yoga Therapy, various cleansing techniques. And his chanting...melts my heart!I hope to visit Rishikesh and Krishna some day soon!

I had the great opportunity to do my 300YTT in Rishikesh under the guidance of Krishna Ji; Asana, Pranayama, Philosophy , Meditation and Mantra Chanting. I have to say that it was a life changing experience, not only in the subject of asana where i learned a lot about alignment and proper ways to be active in a posture, he is very practical and disciplined in his ways of teaching and has a loving sense of humor, setting an example of how someone lives yoga, practices yoga and incorporates this practice in ways of simple living, dressing, eating, talking and relating to others; i remember him saying Improve your own being and that is something that sticks with me everyday. I have to say one of the things i enjoyed the most in this training was mantra chanting and the meditation sessions at the end of the day, some of this days Krishna would chant to us and i felt like a kid before going to sleep, relaxed and accomplished, happy, loved and guided by the energy that was created by the group held and supported by our beloved Krishna Ji, i just have words of gratitude when thinking about this experience.

Krishna goes beyond teaching the principles of Yoga. He is not an ordinary teacher. If you want to learn what Yoga is and how to apply it into your life then youve found the right teacher. There are no misrepresentations. You will leave with the right & well rounded knowledge. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to have been his student and would do it again in a heartbeat if life would allow me to.Much Love & Truth Always

Krishna is such an inspirational teacher. He has so much wisdom and love to give. I would definitely recommend yoga training with Krishna to everyone. Krishna has patience with his students and he will answer all your questions. I loved his meditation classes and when he was chanting devotional mantras to us. There was so much love in it. He also has a great sense of humor so you will not get bored at all :) It will be fun! Great teacher to learn from. So much love to give and so much wisdom to share.

Fortunately I have had a chance to attend Krishnas classes for Yoga and Meditation and I would say it was great experience to gain physical and mental health and peace. Krishna resides at Rishikesh, the place full of natural energy and aspects. Krishna has lot of knowledge about Indian rituals, history, Ayurveda & Indian epics. He has great collection of Yoga and Spiritual books by which he has gain and sharing knowledge which all the connected people.Krishna generates a positive energy and aura surrounded to him and makes everyone feel good. I would suggest my all the friends and family member to meet and attend his classes somehow to get benefits which Ive got. Lots of love to him.

Having been taught by my dear guru Krishna,my life changed from the way I walk,talk,think and breath. He is a strong teacher with such respect for all his students. As a female student I felt very comfortable practicing in his presence and respected him entirely as he is very disciplined in his practice on and off the mat. His teachings have stuck with me and I still feel like I have a little Krishna sitting on my shoulder saying; Dont just do the pose,do something in it. My knowledge I gained about yoga and life started with him. He has a good sense of humor and is a very respected man,not just from his students,but also the community. Your life will gain new meaning after meeting and being taught by Krishna. He is the real deal!

Krishna is the perfect being to help guide you on your Yoga journey.My wonderful journey with Krishna brought me so much more than just knowledge about Yoga and how to be a instructor. It taught me how to become more aware about life and my own being. I grew stronger in so many different ways both physically and mentally. I feel like Krishna provides you the tools to help you find your true self, find what makes you happy and then its your job to do the work and grow as a being.Krishnas spirit and energy are both uplifting and calming. He makes me want to try and be the better person I can be. I carry his knowledge and words with me everyday, close to my heart. Besides being the best, most awesome, amazing teacher....he is also a Great Friend!You should definitely take your own Yoga Journey with Krishna as your guide.It can be life changing.

I was among those fortunate to have trained under the guidance of a practitioner who believes in the true, all-encompassing discipline and spirit of yoga. As he says himself - it is not gymnastics! :) Krishna is a true yogi who doesnt suffer fools gladly so go with an open and honest heart, ready to learn. I can honestly say Ive come away from this precious six weeks feeling that I know less now than I did when I started and that I am at the beginning of a life-long journey of discovery. I hope that is something I never forget. Thank you Krishna!

I studied under Krishna for part of my 500 hr teacher training. His peaceful spirit encourages his students to connect deeper with self and as a result deep human connections are made with everyone in the course. My experience was truly magical. Krishna is a wonderful leader who knows how to challenge, encourage and inspire those around him. He is entertaining and full of knowledge. I highly recommend anyone who can to experience the genuine, goodness-filled teachings of this man. It will be well worth the time.

I cannot stress enough how knowledgeable of a teacher Krishna is. He not only teaches you what you need to know, he also practices it and shows you exactly what he means. I have never had a teacher that believes so much in what he is teaching, and it reflects in his lifestyle. He is kind, fun, stern, and 100% genuine. He acknowledges your strengths and shows you where you must improve. No other teacher I have encountered has had as much of an impact on my yogic practice and life that Krishna has. He is an incredible influence for me, and inspires me to be the best version of myself. I have utmost respect for him, and know that anyone who becomes his student will come away as a better version of themselves.

Father, Grandfather, Brother, Friend.These are the titles I give to the most respected men in my life, and as a teacher, Krishna encompassed all of them.Krishna is not only a teacher, he somehow also becomes your family.His extensive knowledge and obvious years of experience make him one of the most incredible people from whom Ive had the pleasure to learn.His sense of humor and intelligence are unparalleled and you will leave his classes with not only a physical but a mental and spiritual depth you didnt know you had.He only teaches you what he knows and from his experience, you experience.Thank you Krishna, I can honestly say, you changed my life for the better.With all the love in the world, your student.

Krishna deserves all my respect and devotion as a teacher. He teaches with no selfishness, honesty and honours what yoga is. I met him not only as a teacher but also as a friend, you will always learn from him!! If I have the chance to get another training, I will not hesitate to choose his school as first option...

A truly unforgettable experience. I went without much skill or knowledge and left with more things than I ever could have dreamt. Beyond being a wonderful environment for your physical needs, it was safe and provided opportunity for growth personally on many levels. Spending time with Krishna under his teachings have helped put me on a path that Ill likely follow the rest of my life. Obviously bias, but I doubt there are schools with this level of authenticity. Everything felt genuine and organic. Will be returning as frequently as possible!

Krishna is knowledgeable, kind and caring. His instruction is detail-oriented, specific yet easy to follow. He can speak on everything from alignments and physiology to the history of the Gita, with ease and verve. He supplements his incredible historical knowledge with personal stories from his long yoga journey from disciple to teacher. To put it simply, his devotion to his craft is contagious...and one of the reasons I can say I felt privileged to train with him.

Krishna is an incredibly authentic and motivated teacher. I was part of a 300 Hour YTT with him in Spring 2014. His love of teaching and his students is evident. When he is not teaching, he is with his family or undergoing rigorous yogic training with his own teachers. He did not limit his teachings to the classroom but spoke with us over meals and made himself available at all times. He has a good sense of humor and a willingness to teach us in different ways if we didnt understand the first time. I recommend him highly.

Krishna is methodical and stern with his teaching because he cares. He strives to deliver quality. He strives for the elucidation of truth and knowledge. Krishna supports and holds the space for growth which is the most a student could ask for.

I cannot say enough good things about Krishna. He is an excellent teacher who truly cares about his students. I am so grateful for my 300 hour training with him and would definitely recommend his teachings. If you enjoy yoga philosophy, proper alignment and a little humour, you will definitely enjoy his teacher training!

Krishna is a wonderful teacher who keys into each of his students and cares deeply about their individual health and happiness as a person. Hes knowledgeable, intuitive, empathetic, and very patient. Hell work with you during his program and continually check up on you afterward because he truly cares. Both with wisdom imparted and bond created, working with him will leave a lasting impact on your life.

Krishna is a great yoga teacher whose subtle knowledge of yoga reaches back to original yoga sources. He taught me how to bring life into my yoga asanas - through which I am able to work from within during my practice & my yoga poses can come out as outer-breathing-aware positions. This is the very experience of yoga which became my aim since to convey it to my yoga students also. Thank you Krishna! :)

With an abundance of knowledge and experience Krishna Ji unleashes a bundle of well rounded teachings in the school quarters. Attending the classes in the presence of his wisdom prevails a wealth of humble encounters, spiritual growth and unlimited self development. It as a blessing to have shared this journey with Krishna (his discipline...my own) and the yogic community he maintained. I highly recommend this teacher/eternal student to any soul searching for refinement in their current practice, curious mind in holistic adventures or the dabbler of life experiment.

Krishna is a wonderful teacher that has inspired and guided me to develop my practice both physically and spiritually.I highly recommend anyone who is seriously interested in developing their practice and knowledge to go and seek his guidance.I consider Krishna a guru, a teacher and a dear friend!

Studying with Krishna was such a joy and an honor. My practice deepened and changed in unexpected ways. After studying with Krishna, I know more about my body and how to move it efficiently. I have a deeper understanding of yogic philosophy and practices. I am deeply grateful for Krishna and the effect he has had on my life. Hare Krishna 🙏

Krishna and Sangeetas wealth of knowledge and experience were very much appreciated by all the students who participated in the 300h yoga teacher training course including myself. Krishnas philosophy and anatomy classes were always engaging and fun. Sangeeta offered a variety of adjustment techniques that we were able to improve our own practice as well as our teaching.

Its difficult to fully express just how much my training and time spent with teacher Krishna positively impacted my life. Krishna has the intuitiveness to identify whats going on with a student mentally and physically. I felt that he could look at me in a pose or even out of a pose and identify exactly what was going on in my body... and Its been 2 years since my teacher training with Krishna but his teachings are with me every day and in every practice. Im looking forward to my return to Rishikesh to study with Krishna again.

Krishna didn´t teach me the sacred science of yoga but how to learn yoga, how to bring awareness in my life and how to enhance my own being. His compassion, knowledge, and skills enable him to create safe and nurturing classes which are challenging in both ways, physically and mentally. I am very grateful for having had him as a teacher, family and friend.

Taking my 300 hour TTC with Krishna was one of the best experiences of my life. In relation to practicing yoga and teaching it, his root ideas and direction meeting philosophy and personal experience entirely shifted and enhanced my approach and perspective. He lives yoga in all aspects of his life and offers his wisdom and knowledge in a way that is deeply transformative. I am so incredibly grateful for his teachings in class and outside of class. I wish i had more time there because his knowledge is limitless and I could probably spend many lives learning from him. Anyone could learn so much from Krishna in any program. I highly recommend it!

I came to India, to the birthplace of Yoga seeking a genuine experience. Originally I learned Yoga in the US, and it was to surface level for my liking. I am very lucky to say I completely received a genuine and life-changing experience at the school. Krishna, our primary teacher here, embodies yoga in the way he lives his life. It is not just about practicing yoga on the mat, but it is about complete application to all aspects of your life. In this course I learned more then I ever expected and Krishna has a wonderful teaching style. This course will change the entire rest of my life, and I feel so grateful that I got to take it when I was 24. I will come home and share these powerful teachings, and no doubt will I be back to study with Krishna at this school for more. Little did I know that India is covered with false Gurus, and fake Yogis, if you are considering a yoga school in India, this is the school to go to.

Krishna was an amazing instructor and I am so grateful I was able to study under him. I highly recommend studying with Krishna to anyone who is just starting out their training or anyone whos looking to further their education. I hope to be back one day soon!

I had the pleasure of being accepted into the yoga family of Krishna Ji at the end of 2014 during the 300-hour yoga teacher training. It has changed my life forever. Krishna is infinitely kind, knowledgeable, disciplined, and secretly very funny. Hes also an amazing cook! He teaches yoga in its purest form. Under his guidance, I discovered that I am stronger (in body and mind) than I ever thought I could be. I cant wait to return to Rishikesh in 2017 to continue my education with him. Much love!

Its been three years since my visit to India, and I can still vividly remember my amazing experience studying yoga in Rishikesh with my dear teacher Krishna. Krishna embodies the perfect balance between discipline and compassion, and his guidance comes from a place of sincerity and authenticity. He is giving and selfless, and he takes time to focus on each student individually. Even outside of class, Krishna makes time to get to know his students, and one of my fondest memories was when he took time out of his busy day to show me how to make proper Indian chai! Delicious! I highly recommend studying with Krishna!

The overall learning experience is a good balance between physical and mental challenge. In addition, it is definitely recommended to immerse oneself in the local culture which is also formed as part of a yoga journey.Teacher Krishina is passionate about teaching. For whomever wants to have a taste of traditional and oriental teaching, he delivers and executes it well.

[ Krishna is a caring, hilarious, talented, and humble yoga practitioner who has made a lasting impact on so many students. The overwhelming number of positive reviews speak for themselves! I participated in his 300 hour TTC course in August 2016 and was especially appreciative of the careful attention he paid towards asana alignment. Whereas some Indian yoga teachers push their students into advanced poses too quickly, Krishna worked slowly, first building on the foundation of each posture. If you are looking for an honest, down-to-earth teacher who wont injure you during a yoga class (as Krishna humorously explained, it is very difficult for an ambulance to come to the school), then I would definitely recommend taking a course at Samatva Yogalaya! ]

I completed my 500h YTT in may 2019 and there arent enough words to describe the whole experience. I am forever grateful to Krishna and Sangeeta for all their wisdom and teachings, which gave me confidence in my own ability. They introduced us to this vast subject called Yoga and gave us the write direction in understanding it and in the practice, as a whole. Yoga is a way of life and there arent enough thank yous to show my appreciation for all everything I have learned.The school is in a wonderful little secluded place (nice and quiet) , but still close to main area, food was absolutely amazing by chef Deepak and the room conditions could not have been better. It was an intense program but I enjoyed it every step of the way and feel blessed to have been shown the way of Yoga as a lifetime journey.Happy Teachers Day (belated)! And dhanyavaad 🙏❤️

I had the honor and privilege of completing my 300hr training with Krishna, and not only would I do it again, but I hope to return to Rishikesh to study with him more in the future. Krishna told us on our first day that we were now a part of his yoga family, and he proceeded to treat each and every one of us as such. When I got sick, he made sure that I visited the proper hospital and received the appropriate medicine - asking after me each day until I was better. His knowledge of yoga asana, philosophy, history, and meditation is extensive and he presents it in a clear and accessible way. Among many things, Krishna taught me what it means to go through life with a heightened awareness, and I am forever grateful. If you have the opportunity to study with him, I highly suggest that you do so.

So......its been 10 months after my 300Hr YTT at Samatva Yoagalaya with teacher Krishna and Sangeeta.I completed my 300 in October 2018.I just allowed this 10 months to truly sink in all the teachings from my teachers.First of all, I only trusted the path of Ashtanga Vinyasa. My 200HR was Ashtanga Vinyasa and it just felt that it was all I needed, Only! On our first day of orientation where I was also really sicked with fever by influenza. I knew that it was not the Ashtanga Vinyasa I came for. I wanted to withdraw and just look for other school that offer what I was looking for. It was my fault at the first place. Not having enough knowledge about the types of yoga and differences. So I talked to teacher Krishna about it. I still remember his remark and will never forget YOGA IS NOT THE ASHTANGA VINYASA ONLY. And he let me think about it and should have a final decision the day after. It was that night I realized maybe it is the reason why its so hard to heal myself, why I was being so hard to myself. Its because I didnt open, allow myself to take a new path. To embrace other types of yoga and learn amazing teachings from them.I decided to stay......And they took care of me really well while I was sick (Teacher Krisna, Teacher Sangeeta, Ashu and Deepak) Thank you very much for taking care of me.During the YTT my crazy ego still played on me. I got tired of practicing the trikonasana. BUT THEN! I applied those proper alignments in myself practice after the YTT. I apply those alignments at all kinds of Yoga. And I am doing the same when I teach yoga.When you know how your legs, hips, spine, arms work on this posture, on how to breath smoothly and stay there for 25 breath. Ahhhh...IT IT SUCH A STRONG RELIEF when come out to the pose.I can now understand this beautiful system of this Iyengar Yoga.It is only from my YTT at Samatva I understood that Yoga is supposed to be a therapeutic not a circus!!!I have learnt so much life lessons from this school, from teacher Krishna and Sangeeta!!!I am forever grateful for them!I always miss them and always looking forward to seeing them again.And by the way the staffs Ashu and Deepak room, yoga, foods surroundings. It just feels like HOME!

Hello dear Yogis ❤️I did YTT 200 in June 2019 at Samatva YogalaAs Krishna said : “ you get what you deserve “First of all, I have to say that I am quite demanding and it took me 2 months to find the right school . I post messages on those yoga group on FB in order to have some tips and contact .I end up having 100 contact , with some good school, but some other very pushy sales people too .I did an Excel file with pro and cons and the different details .Money was not the topic for me , I was looking for the following :- School in India- Hatha Yoga- Professional syllabus with lesson structure- Good reviewsAnd the most important for me was to find someone inspiring , dedicated to his passion and Yogic life . Someone true and genuine , that is not only doing this for money . Someone with a real genuine knowledge of Yoga and that respect the traditional aspect of this knowledge and apply it on a day to day basis .In short : a real Yogi.I was not disappointed:Krishna Is a genuine person , very unique and he truly respect the real Yogic essence .He has an extensive knowledge of philosophy and anatomy .He know very well Badhva guita, hatha yoga pradipika , Yoga sutra of patanjali and he aplly it in his daily life . With honestly and genuineness.He is honest and straightforward, pure like Yoga .He won’t fool you about being a so called Guru, about Kundalini rising or third eye opening .You get what you desserve.He did some medicine school so he knows very well the human body anatomyHe and his wife Sanguita teach you Hatha yoga , with some Iyengar exercise too .How lucky I am to have found a school with some Iyengar knowledge too .Thanks the universe for that .The food is amazing ( Thanks deepak ) and accomodation clean and well maintained.On this training , classes are small (7-10 students ), so Krishna and his wife will be totally dedicated to your practice and achievements.What I really liked with Krishna, is that one of his main goal was our Learning path and knowledge development . He is really focused on our journey, no matter our skills or background.To finish , I would say that he and his wife are beautiful persons, kind hearted and full of wisdom .Thanks you so much for everythingEric

Krishna provides an authentic traditional insight in all his teachings. I am deeply grateful to have experienced his training. He is truly an inspiration to all that cross his path.

I studied with Krishna for 6 weeks in Rishikesh, about 2 years ago. I cant begin to describe how much my practice , breath , and life changed through this experience. I can honestly say that I think of it everyday. If you are lucky enough to find Krishna and practice yoga with him, then consider yourself blessed. I do! I love him like a father , and all the students I studied with have the same sentiment for him. His knowledge of the human body is individualized , and he is a good person. His energy is pure and he does whatever it takes to help students , leaving no one behind. I truely believe in Krishna and cant say enough good things about him!

Krishna Ji it was such a honor to have met you. You have done wonders, and Im so grateful that I got to experience awareness, breath amazing techniques that I use in my everyday life. Im excited to see you again, so I can learn more from you. Thank you for the experience of a life time. You are wonderful!Namaste,-Janina

I completed both 200 and 300 TTC in this school which was one of my best decisions and most beautiful experiences in my life. So much knowledge and deepening in yoga, i will be always grateful for all the teachings. I will be always grateful to Krishna ji, my great guru. His knowledge and his way of teaching is so respectable! He teaches with his presence, with showing an example. He is not only giving knowledge but he lives the teachings. He is strict, disciplined, kind, happy, funny, balanced and friendly at the same time. I felt total trust and confidence under his guidance. He treated us like family members, always with so much love and acceptance. And i never forget his beautiful chants! Thank you, Krishna

Krishna is an awesome yoga teacher in Rishikesh. His extensive knowledge and accomplishments in authentic yoga teaching are palpable in his sacred teachings.Krishna is a caring and thoughtful individual; each of his classes are a gift. His classes are infused with warmth and sincerity and just enough humor to go through his challenging exercises in Asana sequences! Thank you for your inspiring self, Krishna. You have taught me so much! You are a STAR, rising.My life is brighter due to your presence. I am forever your humble student who knows how lucky she is to have met you on my yoga journey. Love you forever, Krishna!Truly recommended!

By far my best experience growing up not only for my body, but for my mind too! There was an amazing, powerful , natural energy . Krishna ,he taught me during the 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in Rishikesh, India (2016). He is a very kind-hearted, considerate , and authentic person. Still he put in effort to himself and show us how to live the Yoga path by himself. Not only the word. It inspired me. Im lucky i was in the class.You can go as deep as you want, which I love and find very restoring and energizing. I highly recommend this class!! I will be back at that class as soon as possible ;}}

Krishna is the most loving and caring yoga teacher Ive ever met. I learned so many things from him, not only about practice but also how to integrate yoga in my life and make yoga a lifestyle. He knows so many things about life in general, he helped me a lot. He has such a big heart and always made me feel like family. I think he has the talent to make his students aware of their own inner strength and potential, he gave me trust in myself to start teaching right after I finished the TTC.I am so thankful Ive met him and I hope life will bring us together again.

I consider Krishna my one true teacher. I have studied with many yoga instructors who are self-proclaimed masters yet I have only truly experienced the essence of what it is to have the teacher/student relationship with Krishna. He not only teaches the history, foundation and components of the journey to Raja Yoga, but also cares for his students while they are in his care. This is what it means to be a guru. He took care of me when I was sick, cared about the food I ate as well as my overall state while in attendance at the school. Even two years later he checks in with me and my practice. I know I can come to him with any questions I may have at any time. I am looking forward to traveling back to Rishikesh to study with him so I can continue to grow as a yoga student and teacher. Krishna does not ask you to adhere to any dogma or carry any ego about his work. He is there to be your teacher and only asks you to be the student.

Finding my soul tribeMy Yoga journey at Samatva Yogalaya was from January to February 2019, my first 200h but not last ;)When searching for the right school for me I was looking for good and professional teachers, small groups of people, my own accommodation with bathroom, good food, and feeling like a member of a family.At some point, I was sure that it will be impossible to find a school that has all these qualities and if I dont lower my criteria Ill stay at home ;)But I was wrong, Samatva was the school with all these qualities, Sangeeta and Krisha, except being a wonderful person, high-quality teachers, they have a natural capacity of explaining the things with examples to understand in a better and simple way especially in anatomy and philosophy.The yoga practice from both of them gives me the opportunity to go much further in my own practice and that was an important point for me.The rest of their crew is equally professional in their domain as Sangeeta and Krishna are.If you have any kind of problem or difficulties Ashu will help you in everything with a smile, he will be responsible for the union of the group after dinner with fire and nice music, Sunday activities and you will have a feeling that you have a brother beside.Deepak is responsible for the kitchen and Im still dreaming about his wonderful dishes. You can really feel the love he put inside the food and if you have some food problems he will consider it, make some exchanges for you so you can enjoy the food with the rest of the group.Rama is an excellent assistant of Deepak during cooking but also he is responsible for bringing various Tee during the day.Rina is a wonderful lady who is responsible to maintain clean the Ashram and if you want your room and clothes.On your way in Samatva probably you will meet Middha, a beautiful soul, the daughter of Krishna and Sangeeta.These people are part of my tribe now and Im so grateful to have found them and really hope to meet them again, on my next teacher training.Love you all!!!Verna, Croatia

I am forever grateful for being able to complete my 500hr TTC with Samatva Yogalaya! I experienced growth in all aspects of my yoga practice, not only did I become stronger in my practice but my perspective on life evolved. Sangeeta ji and Krishna ji really invest in their students and that shows in every class that they lead. No matter what level youre at in your practice, youll experience growth. Ill truly miss their energy and presence..wish i could do another round of 500 hours with them!

Thank you Krishna for your guidance and humor. You perform your duty with perfection and, as these reviews attest, your life and teachings deeply inspire all your students. I recommend Krishna as a yoga teacher for anyone seeking a meaningful, genuine yoga education in Mother India. You will be pushed and questioned beyond every limitation inside your mind, or as Krishna most affectionally calls it, this fellow. Namaste

Choosing a YTT is quite overwhelming. There are what feel like a million programs. I feel so fortunate to have chosen samatva ! If you have ytt shopping fatigue .. look no further!! My time at Samatva did way more than just help improve my asanas form. This program is a deep dive into the roots of yoga, traditional Indian culture, the mental and physical practice behind yoga, pranayama, mantra chanting, foundational corrections, antatomy, philosophy .. complete with amazing Indian meals and great living conditions. Singita, Krishna and the whole crew really take you in as family. They are genuine, honest people with their hearts so clearly invested in their students and the work they do. In a sea of yoga schools in rishikesh, I truly believe this school is special and the best out there. They don’t take on too many students in each program so that you get individualized attention and are able to closely bond with your group. This program is an experience of a lifetime and I’m already hoping to plan my next visit back. Thank you Krishna and Singita for your sincerity and hard work to provide us so much meaning the past month.

The experience at samatva yogalaya helps you advancing your skills as a yogi and gives you the know how for correct transitionings of the asanas, the right awareness for pranayama, and helps you to recognize the different aspects of the yogic way of living. the main focus , conciousness of self and beyond always stood in the center. studying the original vedic scriptures and talking trough the sutras helps getting an understanding of the subtle aspects of living. The Hatha and Iyengar Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga give you different tools of underatanding for all these vast possibilities of what yoga can look and feel like. Sangeeta and Krishna are both well-read and have a high intellect. and combined they share their knowledge with the students and Besides that, they are very gentle and nice human beings, and approach their students with a welcoming energy and an open heart, like in a big Family! If you hear the calling for getting to know a higher aspect and knowledge of living, I can highly recommend Krishna and Sangeeta as your yoga teachers in Rishikesh. The single room with shower and comfy bed was perfect for studying and reflecting. The Food from the cooking chef Deepak was made with love 3 times a day. There‘s very good wifi too and town is 5 minutes away, which means at the ashram you dont hear the rumours from the daily rishikesh streetactivities. there are mangotrees, baby calves and cows, and sometimes monkeys are playing on the trees. Yes. To all of that. Thank you❤️

Through Krishna I witnessed living action of a real yoga practitioner & teacher doing his absolute best to live in congruence with the entire Hatha yoga system, not just asana (which is quite strong). He asks the same from his students. He holds the space for learning as a father does for his children. He weaves in and out of the different limbs seamlessly and demonstrates the interconnectedness of all with an ease of flow that is inspired. I plan to continue work with Krishna in one form or another. He has far more to offer than what can be covered in 1 training. If you want to learn from a true hatha yoga teacher this is it. Devon 2015 300 he training.

Awe, I love them, Krishna and Sangeeta, everyone that they have there with them. They dont just take you in as students, they have so much space in their beautiful and sacred hearts that you become family, and it feels real and makes sense. What I miss most aside from all the grat food, feelings, yoga bliss and deep nuances on enlightenment and mingling with the true essence of yoga, self, and how we are all connected.Krishna takes on a beautiful duty of caring and looking after the family like a father, and what Ill miss most are those sweet moments where he couldnt hold back his laughter, though hes so good at being on point and appropriate, there was a few moments there with unforgettable laughter and beautiful feelings that brought us back to the flexibility and light-heartedness we have as children. Thats what i miss most, seeing Krishna trying so hard not to laugh but in his eyes you could see so much love, peace, and enjoyment .There is a sacredness and unity we all share, a place beyond words and thoughts, a sacredness powerful enough to help every moment and all we loveSamatva Yogala with its authenticity helps one truly be closer to this sacredness, everywhere one goes - for the rest of ones life.

Out of all the Yoga schools in Rishikesh I was so fortunate to choose Samatva Yogalaya to do my 500hr YTT. I will do it over and over again with no doubt. I enjoyed every moment there with KrishnaJi and Sangeeta. I learned and lived everything I needed and I´m so grateful for that. Thank you for everything and for making me feel part of your family. If you are looking for a great yoga school in Rishikesh this is the place you are looking for! I definitely recommend it.You will enjoy it!!

If you are looking for a place with authentic teachings of traditional Haha Yoga practices, Samatva Yogalaya is the place.Krishnaji, the head teacher is a true mentor and teacher with deep knowledge of all aspects of traditional yogic practice as well as scriptures and has a natural talent for teaching and conveying that knowledge to his students. His tremendous generosity and open-heartedness make studying with him a truly precious experience and a blessing for all who seek to learn about traditional Hatha Yoga the way it has been practiced in India for thousands of years.I am still integrating and incorporating so much of the information I acquired six months ago during my 10 week stay in Rishikesh into my daily life, and I am positive it will last me a lifetime.Him and his wife, who also is a great teacher and human being, run a truly beautiful place for learning and growing on this Yogic path. My time there has grown very dear to me and I am blessed and grateful for having had the opportunity to stay there. God willing I will return one day.

The experience I had at Samatva Yogalaya was none other than life-changing.I completed the 500 hour Teacher Training with Krishnaji and Sangeeta Sikhwal, May-July 2018. As practitioners themselves, they teach from experience. Krishnaji’s philosophy and anatomy & physiology classes give the opportunity to grasp deep concepts in a practical way that assists in one’s journey towards self-awareness and self-mastery.Learning about one’s spiritual journey in a “classroom” setting, and its firm roots in science and scientific techniques, both modern and ancient, blew my mind on a daily basis.The Asana practice is deliberate and challenging. You learn how to progress your self-practice in a safe and consistent way, so that you can continue far after leaving the school.Practicing various forms of pranayama, various forms for meditation, the kriyas, Yoga Nidra, and much more, you get the full spectrum of Hatha Yoga, again taught by practitioners.Every meal is prepared fresh by a local chef, and is AMAZING.At Samatva, you are apart of the family. They truly care about you and your growth.Samatva Yogalaya will be forever a home of mine. I plan to return.

I had the pleasure and honour to have Krishna teaching me on my 300H TT in Rishikesh. I absolutely recommand him: he’s serious and funny, he knows how to work with body mind and spirit. He’s centered in his knowledge and humble on its boundaries. He’s there to help you as much as he can, asking just one thing in return: your honesty. He’s a great teacher and a wonderful person. You can trust him: he’s a real human being trying to bring light into darkness. I’m happy to hear his advices in my head when I need them. Thank you Krishna, for your example is of help, relief and inspiration.

I highly recommend learning with Krishna, he is a wonderful teach. Hes a well polished yogi who genuinely lives the yogic life. You can feel assured what he teaches is what he practices, so no BS is being fed to you. Hes extremely knowledgeable in his teachings and has a great sense of humor and whit. There is no shortage of laughter. I was extremely impressed with his overall knowledge of yoga. Philosophy was a big interest for me going into this training. He brakes down the philosophy verse by verse from traditional text by memory. All of the information was presented in a way that can be understood. Needless to say I learned more then just asanas from him. I really enjoyed studying with Krishna. He is a wonderful man and a talented yogi.

I attended 300hr training with Krishna Sikhwal in 2013 and it changed my life for the better. In the west we have turned Yoga into entertainment but Krishna showed us how it is so much more. Krishna is very well versed in the original texts from which the practice of Hatha Yoga derives. He showed me how my practice can be a gateway to self knowledge. For years after that training I am still receiving the benefits that can only come from intensive practice. I walk through life with a greater ease and confidence. My practice is how I maintain my health and discipline my actions to achieve my goals. Anyone can teach Asana but only a true master teacher like Krishna can teach the sacred science of Yoga.

Taking the YTT at Samatva Yogalaya with Krishna and Sangita was truly an enriching and joyful experience. So much worthy knowledge was shared with us as students, it was inevitable we left with a broader mindset and a new sense of awareness towards ourselves and the world.As a teacher, Krishna is fully prepared. 100% committed to his practice and to giving his students the highest level of training. The group was small which means very personal and specific work. During asana practice, we broke down the basics, detail by detail, to have our roots set up right, and grow from there onward. We followed rigorous schedules (of pranayama, asana, studying, meditation, class and sleep) and witnessed how discipline and practice results in fast improvement.Being at Samatva Yogalaya felt like being at home. Krishna and Sangita care for their students as though they are family. The rest of the staff is all too kind, everything was always perfectly taken care of and the meals we received were incredible. I absolutely encourage anyone reading this to take their YTT at Samatva Yogalaya, I will without a doubt, be back for the 300 hr YTT.Thank you for letting me be a part of it! :)

I am extremely grateful to have had Krishna Sikhwal deliver his teachings in yoga philosophy, asana and meditation in my 300hr teacher training. His lessons were insightful, beneficial and heightened my knowledge and deepened my own practice as a student and teacher in the areas of his teachings. Krishna is a very kind and humble soul who has a great deal of care and respect for his students. What I liked most about Krishna is that he teaches with humour which is such an important pillar in mindfulness. His humour puts his students at ease and makes for a teaching environment that you dont want to miss a single class. Krishna reminds us we are all yoga disciples on the path to self awareness and enlightenment through the practices and teachings of yoga. I will highly recommend Krishna to any student that seeks to undergo a teacher training in India without hesitation. I look forward to travelling from Australia back India to undergo an intensive course with Krishna in the future.

During January and February of 2016 I was fortunate enough to study under Krishna during a 300 hour advanced YTT in Rishikesh. This was undoubtedly the best decision I made, as the six weeks spent under Krishnas guidance, learning from someone whose knowledge of yoga as a practice and lifestyle, were amazing. What I appreciated most about Krishna as a teacher, is his ability to contextualize yoga in the modern world, while still educating his students about this ancient practices roots. He is humble and reserved, but holds space like no other teacher I have encountered in my years of practice. I would recommend Samatva Yogalaya to anyone looking to deepen his/her practice, teaching capabilities, and do so in a safe and welcoming environment where personal growth is paramount. I hope to be back soon to visit Krishna and his new set of students!

I cannot speak highly enough about Krishna ji who led my own 300 hr. YTTC. His wisdom and experience shine through his uncompromising devotion to his students. He illuminates the understanding of yoga in its purest, undiluted form, the most practical, accessible way. With an open heart and mind, this ancient practice will take root in every aspect of your being, both on and off the mat. Studying yoga in India under Krishna jis mindful eye, is an opportunity of a lifetime for any yogi beginning or advancing their training.

Krishna is everything what i can imagine a yogi with family or what a true mentor could be. His knowledge is incredibel not only on philosophy but on the anatomy as well. Very important: he walks his talk! He is a great and humble mentor, with a beautiful voice, lucky to hear him chanting various mantras. Hope to return to Rishikesh soon and visit him and his family and join his classes! Always thankful for the wonderful experience there! Namaste!

Krishna made my 500hr TT an incredible experience. If it wasnt for him, the course wouldnt have been worth it. He is a dedicated, kind, loving, pure, genuine, giving, generous and humble teacher. With so many choices in India for teacher trainings, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one, and there are lots of trainings that dont deliver what it promises, but not Krishna. He delivers and makes sure all the students understand the content and practice of true genuine yoga. Krishna: you were and will always be my favorite teacher and yogi. Thank you for inspiring me to live, love and learn true yoga in Rishikesh and for making the whole experience one to remember for eternity. Namaste 🙏

No review I write could ever give Krishnaji enough praise! It is an honor to know and to learn from him! I still carry his words and wisdom with me in what ever I do! You will not regret your time or experience at Samatva Yogalaya. Krishnaji, I give you five stars and more because you mean the world to me!

It was a pleasure to practice with you and I have learned so many things,which you taught with patience and kindness.I honestly admire your devotion towards your daily practice.Your example of dedication and commitment to yoga has helped me to grow in my own practice and mindset.you were truly the light of our yoga sessions and i will always remain grateful for this experience.Thank you for being you.wishing you love and peace.Prashant Shanker

One of the Best Experiences of My LifeIt’s been a month since I finished a life-changing 200-hour yoga teacher training at Samatva Yogalaya, so I’ve had some time to integrate the experience into my “real life.” I am so grateful to Krishna, all the staff and the other participants. It’s actually hard for me to find the words to express how much the experience meant to me and how it keeps unfolding for me. Since the training ended, I’ve been teaching small yoga/meditation sessions once a week in order to keep on developing as a teacher. That’s how empowering a program it is.I went to Samatva Yogalaya to deepen my asana practice and explore the possibility of becoming a yoga teacher, but what I found was much more profound: inner strength, contentment and peace--and I didn’t know that I’d been looking for those things exactly. But the dincharya (daily routine) was so grounding--up at 6 a.m., herbal tea, neti pot, pranayama, asana, breakfast, yoga philosophy, self study of yoga scriptures, lunch, anatomy/physiology, more asana, dinner, meditation, lights out at 9. It was REALLY good for my soul. It actually made me into a morning person. And since the program has ended, I have continued independently with much of what I learned. The yogic routine has built me a strong foundation for emotional stability, mental clarity and personal power/vision/creativity.Also, I learned SO much--from each of the different classes. Krishna is among the best asana teachers I’ve had the pleasure to learn from (and I’ve been taking yoga classes off and on for over 15 years.) He is super knowledgeable and knows exactly how to adjust students in each pose to let you get maximum benefit. Plus, small class sizes meant that each student got a lot of attention and correction. I also learned an incredible amount from the classroom sessions and from reading yoga scriptures, as well as from the experiences of researching and giving a presentation (I chose the topic of ayurveda), as well as teaching an asana class in the final week.What else? The pranayama was powerful--a beautiful way to greet the day, wake up and energize. And I swear my complexion glows now from daily kapalbhati. The chanting was charming. I still chant every day, and now I’m so interested in Sanskrit. The food was hygienic (not something that you should take for granted in India) and really yummy and varied. We got fresh fruit and salad every day, as well as many mouth-watering dishes seasoned with fresh herbs. (I’m vegan and they always made sure to tell me if a dish had dairy in it and provide a dairy-free option, which was so considerate.) The bonding with the other students was unforgettable. But most of all, Krishna and his wife Sangeeta are true practitioners of yoga. They emphasize that yoga is not just something that is done on a mat. Rather, it is a 24-hour-a-day lifestyle. And their words are not hollow. They live it. The humility and authenticity that they display had a powerful effect on me. They inspired me to want to practice as well as I could, learn as much as possible, and keep on living it even after the program ended. Plus, they welcomed us like family. I felt their care and respect and returned it. It was indeed a very special environment to get to live in for one month. I really hope to be able to return to do the 300-hour with them…I found this program because, luckily for me, a friend had gone through it and recommended it. I was really glad because I found it hard to find an actual, good school in India just by looking online. A lot of other schools’ reviews looked fake; there are a lot of schools that have sprung up to cash in on the yoga trend and make money without offering authentic, high-quality training. I am so very glad to have found Samatva Yogalaya. The experience was so wonderful. It was just what I needed. I would recommend the program to anyone—those who want to deepen their practice, start teaching or deepen their teaching. Namaste.

I call Krishna teacherji because I have deep respect for him. As a practictioner : I was in many yoga classes but yet hadnt called anyone my teacher. I was in 300 hrs last January. It was a good journey. I felt like my practice got stronger from his little tips that he shared in the class. Empty your head and be open mined and let Krishna take you for a ride / tippy

After taking my 300hr TTC with Krishna, I highly recommend anyone who is interested in his courses to take them. He is very thorough with his Asana classes and gives individual attention to all students to improve themselves. My favorite class during our training was Yoga Philosophy where we were taught the foundation of Yoga through classical texts. My experience in Rishikesh is irreplaceable and I look forward to attending more of his trainings at Samatva Yogalaya.

Balance and harmony is principle meaning of yoga. Joy of health depends on harmony between bodily and mental functions. Krishna ji through samatva yogalaya dedicated to work on getting and providing highest integration at all levels of ones being.

Krishna and Sangeeta both conduct their course with passion and integrity and the example they lead in their yogic lifestyle stretch long past the classroom.They approach the fundamental principles behind establishing a solid and honest home practice necessary for those wanting to advance as teachers.I liked that the teaching was strict and disciplined, yet fun and focussed on progressive improvement. I always felt encouraged to ask questions and some of my most memorable experiences on the intense course were the off-topic conversations that Krishna, the other students and I shared.I cannot recommend this course enough. Thank you Krishna, Sangeeta and Medha for making me feel like family during my stay in Rishikesh; there is no doubt that I will be back.

I really love Krishna and Sangita. It’s rare to find truly pure and humble souls, even in India. Souls who live their practice and don’t claim to be anything but their beautiful authentic selves. I felt an instant bond with both of them through my own authentic nature and attentiveness to learn.I honestly believe, in my humble opinion, that Samatva Yogalaya is the best yoga school in India, and will continue to be seen by many as such. I could not have been happier with the, ashram, the teaching and the institution itself. I know I was guided to this school for a divine reason and I could never put into words the amount of growth and transformation that took place over the 10 weeks.I couldn’t recommend this school any higher and if you’re looking for true yogic training by amazing and caring people, this is it.I look forward to returning to India one day and seeing my blessed teacher again.Thank you Krishna Ji.Aum Shanti-Jacob Pidcock

Loved the discipline of yoga as taught by Krishna-a wonderful experience that I am forever grateful for!

It has been a life changing and self-realization experience with Krisna and Sangeeta with their little daughter Medha. I am very grateful for all the knowledge I gained during these last 6 weeks. They have made me to feel like at home living like a family, they took care with Aneesh of all we need it. I hope to come back very soon and continue enriching myself with their immense wisdom and unconditional love. From now own, I will carry them in my soul. Namaste. Angel

My experience with Krishna and Sangita at Samatva Yogalaya was life changing. I have been a spiritual aspirant for a few years now and I was given tools by Krishna that I will use and continue to cultivate throughout the course of my entire life. Living in America, I am very aware of the lack of understanding in the yoga industry of what yoga truly is, which is: the restraint of the modifications of the mind stuff. Krishna taught us so much more than asana, he taught us how to live a spiritual life, a yogic life and how to authentically share this life with others. After spending three months with Krishna and completing my 500 hour teacher training, I am a changed person. I have been home for three weeks now and have continued the practices of asana, shat kriyas, yoga philosophy, and pranayama as taught by Krishna. I am so infinitely grateful that I was guided to this teacher training. I have not one regret. The accommodations were absolutely gorgeous and created a very safe and peaceful environment for growth, the food was healthy, pure and sattvic and the class size was small which in my opinion is best for optimal learning. When you join this teacher training, you are more than just a student, you are family. Krishna is a true yogi and an embodiment of knowledge, wisdom and purity. AUM.

Natwar Ji aka Krishna is not only a knowledgeable yoga teacher but also a wonderful human being. Congratulations and best wishes to Samatva Yogalaya team !!

I just finished my RYT300 from Krishna ji which was very impressive experience. My class fellows said he was our yoga father, from which you should know how respectable he is. Krishna ji is a amazing, knowledgeable and genuine yogi. If you want to know more about Indian culture and go deeper in your yoga path,he is the right person to lead you get there. I am sure I will go back to learn more from him.Namaste!

Krishna is an excellent teacher, when it comes to know your body, to improve your practice in a save way is great! i`ve been practicing yoga my hole life and is my way of life, so I couln`t have only an asana teacher, i needed someone who really had lived in this way and that`s him

I trained with Krishna two years ago and it is still one of the best most rewarding things i have ever done! His knowledge and skills in the feild of yoga is beyond vast. He is extremely dedicated and discipled to yogic practices. His teaching took me a step beyond yoga being just a practice on the mat, instead he gave me the skills to incorporate yoga into my everyday life. This is a gift i am truely grateful for.

Krishna is an amazing teacher with a huge heart. He lives and breathes yoga. I had the honor of studying under Krishna 3 years ago when I traveled to India to stay for 3 months. India is a beautiful country with so many colors, culture, and smiling faces. It is worth going if only for the chai tea and excellent yoga instruction. I still implement many of the lessons Krishna taught me into my daily life. I also pass on those lessons to the students in my yoga classes. One thing I admire so much about Krishna is that he practices what he preaches. He not only knows all of the yoga principles, he has also embodied those principles and practices into every facet of his life. I could not have asked for a better Yogi to study under. If you are willing to take the leap of faith and go to India to start your spiritual journey, I highly recommend you study at Samatva Yogalaya under Krishna. Namaste!

My trip to india has been one of the richest experiences in my life and Krishna as my teacher was a big part of that. He is very professional and shares everything he knows with his students. Yoga is not for him only a job or a business but a life philosophy and you can see it from day one. He teaches you not only the theory of yoga but makes you feel it, and live it, from the asanas, the kriyas, the meditations, our daily diet, everything. His focus on alignment was to me very important because it helps you understand the involment of every single part of your body, that really sets the difference between him and many other teachers in town. He is an amazing teacher and an honest and generous human being.

Krishna,Thank you for being our Yoga Teacher, in 45 days of Yoga philosophy, Kriyas, asanas practice, mantra chanting and meditation really helps me understand very well my yoga teaching for now. Its nice to feel being your student because it feeds my upper storey very well. Hahahaha I love the way you say.Do not feed your ego !!!!If you cant feel anything do something!!Suck the muscle energy in your body !!!If you want to learn act like a student and become a teacher.Yoga is not about being how good, famous, flexible, amazing title in yoga images but becoming a better in you in your yoga practice.Thank you for your guidance for me to become a Yoga Teacher.NamasteAdora

I had the deepest and most transformational experience learning, growing and being taught by Krishnaji. I respect him, he is family and I will always hold him dear to my heart. I highly recommend going deep within yourself and have him be the guide to your true self. I completed 500hr YTT and Im so happy I did. I wouldnt change a thing and Im glad it was Krishnaji who not only taught as a teacher but is so knowledgable and well rounded...as well took care of us like his own children!! Many thanks!!

Ive been very fortunate to have Krishnaji as my yoga teacher in the 300 hr teacher training in Rishikesh ! Hes a an authentic , sincere and highly knowledgeable teacher ! His love and passion for yoga stems from his personal life ! He plays the role of a parent when students accepts him as their teacher and does his best to bring out their potential ! I highly recommend his as a teacher as you will have fun and laughter with Krishnaji while learning the most serious and sacred of knowledge Yoga !

I feel that myself and everyone who has been so fortunate enough to study under Krishna Ji will all tell you them same. He is amazing!Although, I can not talk for everyone else I can just share with you my personal experience.This family man has a lot to teach, he is very intelligent and so good at bringing his lessons into a reality by the way he acts. He is most definitely a teacher/guide/instructor who practices what hes teaching.Krishna has such a beautiful open heart and he teaches with love and care.Ive been home now for 6 months and I share stories and his lessons that stay deep within me from the lessons of Krishna Ji.He was able to give me a real understanding of what yoga really is- not just poses- it is a life style. We are always practicing not just on the mat!IF YOU ARE TRYING TO DECIDE TO GO HERE OR NOT- DONT THINK TWICE- LOOK NO FURTHER! YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS!Cant wait to go back!

Krishna is very well versed in the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali, sings yoga mantras with an angelic voice, and is a very effective asana teacher. I feel very fortunate to have been able to study with him.

My time spent in Rishikesh at the shores of the mother Ganga was made meaningful and life changing by the wonderful Krishna ji. He is the first teacher I have had who truly teaches from his own experience and completely practices what he preaches. He has great knowledge and truly cares for his students as if they were family. If you have the chance to study with him, go!

I am beyond thankful to have been fortunate enough to have Krishna as my 300hr ttc instructor.Krishnas passion and commitment to yogic life is authentic and strong and shine through in his teachings. Krishnas lessons will always hold great value to me and my life practice.Thankyou for leading me on my journey as a disciple of Yoga.

I would highly recommend Krishna as a teacher to anyone who is hoping to dive deeper into their yogic practice. I came to India searching for an authentic yoga training experience, and found just that while studying with Krishna Ji. Krishna is the most genuine human I have ever known, an authentic yogi on and off the mat. He is dedicated as a teacher and creates a learning space for true growth. Training with Krishna in Rishikesh, India is a complete immersion into the practice and lifestyle of a yogi. Expect to go deep into your body through asana, and deep into your mind through ancient teachings and meditation. I left this experience permanently transformed with a greater understanding of my physical and spiritual self. Years later Krishna Ji continues to be a mentor and teacher from afar, and I look forward to the day that I get to go back to visit.

In 2014 I had the great fortune to study and be taught by my yoga teacher and great friend Krishna. A truly dedicated practitioner and teacher of yoga, Krishna has a unique and genuine way of teaching the true essence, science and philosophy of Yoga. Not only has he an incredible in depth understanding of yoga asanas, but he generously shares his own understandings of life and how to conduct oneself as a happy healthy human being.I learnt so many wonderful things during my 300hr TTC and I owe it to Krishna who has helped me to become a fully qualified and able Yoga teacher.The great thing about study with Krishna is that he accepts you as part of his family, immediately, and is always there willing to help many years on from when you first finished your course.If you have the opportunity and are looking for a genuine YTTC in India, you have arrived at the right place - Samatva Yogalaya.Thank you Krishna

Where to begin when reviewing Krishna.. I did the 300 hour teacher training underneath the loving guidance Guru Krishna Ji. My life was completely changed. Krishnas lectures were something I will never forget, and refer to often- well after the completion of the course. What I learned from him changed me completely in my mindset off the mat, as well as in my physical asana practice. Every time I enter a pose I can hear Krishnas verbal cues for proper alignment. Krishna always urged us to enhance our own being and to do something not only on the mat, but off the mat as well. Krishna was one of the only instructors to eat with us and make himself approachable with any concerns, questions, or just for a friendly chat. When I was sick, Krishna constantly checked on me as well as offered several herbal remedies to help to ease my stomach pains. If you ever have the chance, Krishna is definitely the teacher you want to study under. His lessons will forever be with me! Namaste.

I’ve had some incredible yoga teachers over the last 7 years, in both India and London. However, I feel incredibly lucky to have been taught by Krishna during my 300 hour yoga training in both asana, meditation and philosophy. He’s one of the most authentic, genuine and caring teachers I’ve had with a great dry sense of humour. In class situations he’s able to intuitively respond to each student individually and teach in a way that’s right for them -- so definitely no cookie cutter training here! I learnt so much in those 6 weeks and feel lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from someone with so much knowledge, who genuinely lives, practices and cares deeply about yoga -- not just as an asana practice but as a whole philosophy and lifestyle.
