As the old saying goes, "We are what we eat". It is always necessary to watch what we consume, for it is a known fact that the food we eat not only affects our physical health, but also translates into our emotions and thoughts. Instead of categorising food into the usual carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, the science of Yoga groups food according to the way they influence our mind and body. The state of our mind and body is divided into three stages– Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. Tamasic foods are the kind of foods that affect you in such a way that we end up feeling lethargic and dysfunctional. Rajasic foods tend to make you bring about hyperactivity and a sort of irritable restlessness. Sattvic foods, however, are the most balanced. They make you feel just right, in good spirits, and full of life.

I did my 200 hr YTT here in Feb/March 2018 with some of the best teachers worldwide who made afterwards international career. Dr. Amaravathi Eraballi is still there and it is definitely worth to learn from her! She is passionate and her English is amazing. I had 4 wonderful weeks there, which were the base and start for my ongoing Yoga teacher career in Switzerland. Teaching 5 years now I still think back of the beginnings in Rishikesh where it all started to original. Very thankful for the time.
I had a wonderful time at Rishikesh Yog Sansthan where I did the 15 day retreat. There was me and two YTTC students in total and very quickly, a family bond formed between us students, teachers and other staff. The teachers were fantastic. The asana teacher, Shubham, progressed me into another level of practice; Ammu was very knowledgeable, wise and taught me a lot; and Poormina encouraged meaningful meditation and was so lovely!
I recently travelled from the UK to Rishikesh just to visit Rishikesh Yog Sansthan on a private basis, and it was wonderful experience. Teachers knowledge of yoga is impressive and they were always willing to answer my questions patiently and thoughtfully. Dr. Ammu and her team were warm, welcoming and kind throughout my stay and I wish I could have stayed longer. The new school building and rooms are bright, clean and each have their own en-suite bathroom. The food was healthy and delicious and our meals together were a special time - it felt like we were part of a family. I hope to be back next year for more training with the school, they really go out of their way to make sure everyone is comfortable and cared for. If you are thinking of completing any yoga teacher training with Rishikesh Yog Sansthan, I would highly recommend going for it. You’ll come away with an incredibly enriching and authentic experience and an opportunity to make lifelong friends from all over the world.
I have a great time thanks to the amazing teachers Amaravathi Eraballi, Shubham Bhandari and Spirituall Yoga. Their dedication and attention to my needs made me improve greatly and let me find where I needed to focus in order to grow. I am very grateful to the patience they showed with me (great amount was needed) and their kindness. I would recommend any course with them. ♥️
I undertook RYT200 in Rishikesh where Amaravathi taught the physiology studies. Her lessons were clear, the pace of which catered for the individual students; diagrams, cross references, examples were included. The lessons were open to questions and a subject was fully covered and discussed to gain a proper understanding before moving onto the next. The feel was relaxed without rush and fun, yet informative and in depth. She is a kind person always smiling and happy to discuss anything. Her knowledge of Yoga is second to none and this shows within the physical practice as well as the theoretical. I would without a doubt study more with Amaravathi and be sure to come away with a deeper understanding of not just Yoga bit life as a whole.
