  I visited Vedansha for my yoga teacher training together with my girlfriend. I learned a lot on one month, asana hatha, pramanayama & philosophy were my favorite subjects. Thanks for Pandey ji, Deepak, Vikas, Alok, Avdesh, Sandeep, and kitchen staff. Your work is amazing and really you are doing such a great service. I feel I would come back for yoga therapy teacher training after some month of teaching. Pandey Ji knows so much that I want to explore more in this vedic subject.

  What a Journey! Where to begin…. (grab your favorite cup of tea and read on ;)), Great service started already when contacting Vendansha Center for YTT registration via Email. Their responses were always prompt, informative and helpful. On one occasion I was having problems with payment of my Indian Visa and Mr. Vedansh Pandey from IT Team, helped me through (thank you Vedansh for facilitating the issue!). One of the options on how to proceed with payment was Vedansha paying for it, which they did and I recieved my Visa same day (of course I refunded them upon my arrival at Vedansha). Next was one of Vedansha's trustworthy taxi drivers (as a female traveling alone for the first time to Rishikesh, it was important and comforting to know you're dealing with people you can trust. At least for me), greeted me at Dehradun Airport with a warm and friendly smile and a sign with my name on it, it felt very welcoming already. Upon arrival at Vedansha Center, more friendly smiles (even from students/attendees. A very peaceful and joyful environment), and I was assisted with my luggage immediately. As days went on, it just got better and better! Starting with the Coordinator/Supervisor DEEPAK. What a wonderful soul he is! He is always ready to answer all your questions, making sure all is running smoothly and always with you on all excursions. At times I thought there were more than just one Deepak as he is everywhere and does everything. Thanks a million DEEPAK!! The Manager Alok, very helpful and attentive. I thank you Alok and beautiful Jyoti for teaching me how to do Japa meditation with Mala beads :). The kitchen staff - Fantastic! Always cooking delicious and extremely healthy dishes. Thank you Deleep, Baba and Babloo (sorry if I misspelled your names), for the delicious Chiapitis (a highlight of many of us) and the fresh ginger tea always. And then there are the teachers: Dr. Hemlata who is superb! Extremely knowledgeable in all her subjects - Yoga Anatomy, Asana Practical and Yoga Therapy. She is patient always taking her time to explain in detail, answering all your questions and with a great sense of humor making the lessons so enriching. Hatha Yoga Teacher Sandeep; he is powerful (with a great smile and also great sense of humor) and takes you into postures, stretches and twists which you thought you could never reach. Alignment teacher Vikas, Good, but could be more enthusiastic. Meditation teacher Lakhiram; amazing! Always introducing a new meditation technique which is sure to bring you into a deep meditative state. And last, but most importantly and surely not least is Dr. Sanjeev Pandey Ji who is TOP NOTCH/THE BEST!! With his masterful teachings through Pranayama he delivers the slogan of Vedansha "connect with yourself" in an unsurpassed manner. I thought I had done pranayama and knew pranayama before but not at this level. This is one unique experience to take you on that inward journey you have only heard and read about. Here you have the opportunity to put it into practice. My personal experience I cannot put into words, instead I leave you to look forward to living your own experience. So put your selfies aside and prepare yourselves to meet your SELF. The higher SELF within through Dr. Pandey Ji's phenomenal teachings! Accommodations: at Vedansha Center are simple but comfortable and clean. The beds are on the very firm side, just give yourself 2-3days and you will get used to it. Your spine will thank you later on ;). Although, as of January 1st 2019 they have opened a new facility where the beds are more plush and look comfortable. New toilets, some rooms with marble floor, and even flat screen TV sets in rooms. I was able to see the place on my last day there (thank you ALOK for the tour of new location!). It's all new and looking very fancy and modern, but I prefer it simple and more Ashram style. I'm happy and feel lucky to have experienced it in original state. Location of Vedansha Center is ideal, as it is within reasonable walking distance of many shops, great Cafes, and Laksman Jhula Bridge, the Holy Ganga and mighty Himalayan mountains. In completing the 300hr Yoga Therapy Teacher Training, I am extremely satisfied. Yes a few things here and there which could be better, such as time management, which I think due to preparations for the opening of the new location is what had them sometimes running a bit behind schedule. Now that the new location is in place, it probably won't be an issue anymore. All in all, the positives at Vedansha weigh much more than any negative! Worth mentioning are two, from the several, life changing experiences I encountered during my training are the following: 1) I lost 5 to 6 kilos in 1month eating 3meals a day! Sounds almost impossible, but very much true! I feel light in weight, with strong immune system and re-energized! 2) For ladies who experience the same problems: My entire life I have suffered from PMS and severe menstrual cramps/pain every month since the age of 13 and worsening in my mid-20's (I'm now…… over 30 ;)), and this was the first month ever, in my entire life, with very little PMS and NO cramps/pain whatsoever! In the past I had to always depend on pain medication to relieve my symptoms and to be able to function on daily routine. During my cycle in December (while at Vedansha) medication did not even cross my mind as I was completely pain free!! I was totally amazed! Still am, and I'm curious what this month will be like as I continue the astounding techniques and healthier eating habits which I learned during the training at Vedansha. Truly life changing! I highly recommend Vedansha not only for their great courses and trainings, but also for it's holistic healing through their healthy foods, pranayama techniques, meditation, asanas everything coming together. And an opened mind from our part, to receive the gifts of a simple but potent way of living being passed down to us, all in a harmonious surrounding. I call Vedansha "The Fountain of Youth" and The Well of your wellbeing :). Definitely a place to return to! Once again, I thank you wholeheartedly Vedansha Team (even those who I miss mentioning here) for a memorable and an unparalleled experience! I am so glad to have trusted my instinct, when searching the web and finding your program in the sea of other Yoga Teacher Trainings not only in India but around the world. I feel blessed, and I am beyond happy to have chosen your Training to grow further spiritually and academically in the field of Yoga. Love you guys! I will keep each and every one of you always so close to my heart, and see you again hopefully in the not so distant future! Cheers and thank you for reading :)! Felicia R.
