I was looking for an authentic ashram for a retreat in Tapovan when I found Patanjali international Yoga Fondation.
Since my first step in I have been welcomed by the director who is also an amazing Guru. Then I knew it will be the place where I could learn and discover the real Hatha Yoga in a nice environment.
Everything was perfect, the classes, the other teacher, the food, the commodity. Food is fresh, vegetarian and delicious. We really have the necessary time to go deeper in the asanas, in the philosophy and mantra. I highly recommended this ashram if you are looking for Authentic, yoga retreat or if you want to learn about this amazing discipline.

Why Patanjali International Yoga Foundation?
I didn’t hesitate to enroll here, as it was my sister’s first recommendation. Her positive experience and stay assured me that this was a great choice.

Accommodation
You have the option to stay in either a single or shared room. Since I was new to the place, I choose a shared room to meet new friends, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Excursions & Experience
Every Sunday, we had excursions to breathtaking locations. One of the highlights was visiting Kunjapuri, where we witnessed a stunning sunrise, and Vashishta Cave, a serene spot perfect for practicing yoga beside the sacred Ganges River. I’m surprise and thankful that there is a massage included on the package, which added to the relaxation and overall well-being.

I initially came here for health reasons and, as a beginner in yoga, I quickly realized that my previous understanding of yoga was quite different. This experience taught me the importance of proper techniques, focusing on muscle engagement, stability, and comfort. I have learned so much, making this journey truly transformative.

What made the experience even more special was the warmth and hospitality of the staff. They will treat you like a family member, making you feel at home throughout your stay.

Amazing experience at patanjali! The room, services and food was just perfect, neat and clean and well lit.
I took yoga therapy course and all my teachers Mr Mayank, Dr Das and Shashank Ji are thorough with their subjects. Shashank Ji was my yoga therapy teacher , he is a gentle man and a very compassionate teacher. He has deep knowledge of the subject and various diseases and there management with yoga. He made class very interactive and asana practice as per diseases was a great highlight of my course.

Dr Das took us for a Sunday excursion to kunjapuri temple. And the view and sunrise was mesmerising. We as a group bonded well during our outing and all through the course. And Dr das made sure of a good time with meditation sessions near the bank of Ganga.
He is warm hearted person with a whole hearted laugh.
Also I got a chance to attend a few classes of philosophy, mantra and sound meditation class with Acharya mandeep and it was out worldly.
Location wise as well I find patanjali very close to Ganga river and markets are nearby.
Free massage therapy was a cherry on the cake.
Overall a great experience!!
I will be back soon :)
Much recommended 👍

With all my heart I want to thank Patanjali Internatiinal Yoga Foundation for wonderful stay and for strong and intensive practice on 300-hours yoga teachers course! My teachers at Russia also completed this course, so there I had no doubts where to study yoga! I saw their professionalism, devotion and yogic life style. It was hard, sometimes very-very hard, but I see significant progress in yoga!
I was very impressed with the teaching approach. Teachers shared not only their knowledge, but precious and personal experience. Secrets, tips, know-how and lifehacks in yoga. You can never find it in Internet of on Russian yoga courses!! Every teacher is brilliant professional and a yoga practitioner.
Alignment classes corrected my body posture in asanas, and I'll bring this experience into my own teaching practice. Philosophy classes brought deep understanding of Yoga Universe. Yoga nidra helped to relax and release stress. Pranayma classes taught to breathe properly and concentrate. And everyday Hatha yoga practice with Guru-ji gave me strength, tolerance and kept my tapas hot)))
I also completed a Sound Healing course!
Pandi-ji and Lakshmi-ji created a cosy home-like atmosphere with absolutely delicious meals, cleanliness and order. Hope to be back one day! I really felt myself like in a family!!

I had 200 h teachers training and I enjoyed all the practices. They have very preparate teachers, Joshi Ji Is a good Hatha and ashtanga teacher, Mandeep Is a well of knowledge and Gitendra Das teachs with love. Thanks to all of you 🙏♥🕉️

After last year's positive experience, I wanted to return to P.Y.F. for the 300-hour yttc this year. I am very satisfied with what I learned and I thank all the teachers for the passion they gave me : Acharya Mandeep Bhati helped us to understand the vast field of yogic philosophy and accompanied us in beautiful meditations with his magical voice; Yoga Charya Sashank Gambhir is a very kind teacher who with yoga nidra helped us to relax and guided us in Vipasana; Yogi Mayank Goswami helped us to improve our approach to the more complicated asanas with helpful advice , alignments and physical preparations; and Dr. Das as always acted as our guide in this wonderful world of yoga , attentive to all our needs ❤️.

I can do nothing but thank everyone and recommend P.Y.F. to those who want to improve themselves in the practice of Hatha yoga. I also sincerely thank the ubiquitous Pandiji, patient and loving cook and Laxmanji , the handyman , hands , ears and hearts of the Ashram. Without them it would not be the same.

Completing my training in Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda at the Patanjali School has been a very enriching and transformative experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt held in a space of deep wisdom, warmth, and care.

The teachers are truly exceptional—deeply knowledgeable, grounded in tradition, and incredibly generous in their guidance. Every class was an opportunity to learn, expand, and connect more deeply with the roots of yoga and the healing science of Ayurveda.

The school itself is beautifully located, in a quiet neighborhood, few minutes walking distance to the Ganga river, close to everything you need for shopping, and some cafe to enjoy some masala chai. The environment of the school and rooms, is clean, welcoming, and infused with a sense of devotion and authenticity. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, creating the perfect atmosphere to rest and integrate the teachings.

I am filled with gratitude for this journey and for everyone at the Patanjali School who made it so special. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone feeling called to deepen their path with yoga and holistic healing.

After a lot of research, I decided to get my TTC in Patanjali International. Teachers are very professional, and I learned invaluable skills and strengthened my knowledge in Yoga. We were taught a variety of skills with classes in philosophy, anatomy, and alignment. The food was really yummy and healthy, weekend meals were a special surprise! The location of the Ashram is also very central. It’s walking distance to many cafés to the main road and it’s easy to get around in the city. I felt like home when I stayed there, everyone was very caring. The staff and Guruji are very friendly and want to make your stay as comfortable as they can. The overall experience was very valuable for me and for my personal growth and I look forward to coming here again and learning more.

The most authentic yoga school in rishikesh.
PIYF is a very disciplined school where there is learning every moment. Clean rooms and super tasty food served with love. The staff is amazing. The teachers know what they are teaching and will really push you to learn and embrace your limits. I personally loved the alignment and philosophy class.
The course is very systematic and keeps you engaged. They have a variety of meditations and sound healing sessions that felt really magical.
They also have a lot of other courses and retreats available that you can enroll for simultaneously.
I am grateful to begin my yoga journey with Dr. Das who make this abode feel like just home.
