Testimonials

I completed my 200 hours about a week ago, it was such an amazing experience. I spent a long time trying to pick and chose Ruh due to how the course seemed to be laid out and the smaller class sizes. I’m so pleased I did.
The course is packed (in a good way). I especially enjoyed the philosophy and alignment classes – and of course the physical practice. All three teachers had their own style and put so much into the classes and course. Akhi especially clearly puts his heart into managing the course and your experience on it and it really shows (helping us organise some weekend trips and joining us, eating with us, answering all our questions, etc.)
Ours was a small class which meant everyone connected and knew eachother by the end of the course and got a good level of interaction with the teachers.
Thanks again Ruh Yoga, Namaste – missing my time with you already!

I had the most wonderful journey at Ruh Yoga. It was such an intense month, both mentally and physically – but the way it changed me goes beyond words. We received such precious teachings from great teachers. Classes were teached from 3 different teachers – which allows you to discover and enjoy different teaching techniques. The alignment class is also so important to deepen your understanding and correcting your own poses. The quality of this course is amazing, you really are in good hands. Akhi is such a caring, gentle, patient person. All teachers shared incredible energy. I am so grateful 🧡

I completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Agonda last December, and it was truly a transformative experience. The small group setting allowed for a deeply personal and intimate journey into yoga, giving each of us the space and attention needed to explore and understand the practice on a profound level.
One of the most eye-opening aspects of the training was discovering how expansive yoga truly is. Beyond the physical postures (asanas), I learned about the rich philosophy that underpins the practice—a wisdom that speaks to the mind, body, and spirit. This deeper exploration helped me appreciate that yoga is not just a physical exercise, but a holistic path towards self-discovery and inner peace.
The instructors made a significant impact on my experience. Akhi, Pankaj, and Varun are exceptional educators—professional, caring, and genuinely passionate about their work. Akhi, the founder of the school, stood out with her kindness and attentiveness, always ensuring our well-being. Their dedication and personal attention made every session feel special and uniquely tailored to our needs.
The location of the school is another highlight—it’s just a short, two-minute walk from Agonda Beach, which provided a serene and inspiring backdrop for the training. The rooms were of fair standard, and while the food was nice, I believe a bit more variety would enhance the overall experience.
In summary, my time at the Yoga TTC in Agonda was a journey of personal growth and deep learning. I left not only with new skills and knowledge but also with a richer, more nuanced understanding of yoga that goes well beyond the asanas. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to deepen their practice and explore the true essence of yoga

I just finished my 200h YTT with Ruh Yoga and have had the most amazing time. Akhi, Pankaj and Varun are wonderful teachers who have plenty of knowledge and experience. We learned lots of philosophy, alignment, teaching methodologies and anatomy, as well as regularly yoga and pranayama practices. The structure of the days is well thought out and the smaller group size ensured a more personal learning environment. Agonda is also the perfect location, and I will certainly be coming back! Thank you Akhi for all your support and for making me feel so safe and welcome. I feel well equipped to be a yoga teacher and will never forget how incredible my time here has been.

For us, the 4 weeks were very demanding, varied and well thought out.The decision to do our 200 YTT training with Ruh Yoga was absolutely the right one and we have not regretted it for a single day.
If you are looking for a yoga journey to yourself and like it small, authentic and loving, Akhi is the right place for you! :)We can recommend Ruh Yoga with the deepest conviction and thank you
from the bottom of our hearts,
Verena and Kati


Thank you Akhi



I did the 200hr teacher training and my time there was simply incredible! Akhilesh and Aishwarya are very kind, caring and knowledgeable teachers and I can’t imagine better people to learn from. From day one I felt very comfortable and cared for in every way. My yoga practice improved so much during the training and I never thought I could feel so confident teaching yoga like I did at the end of the course. The surroundings are also very nice and not so crowded like other places nearby. I frequently watched the sunset on the beach.
I highly recommend it!


Ich habe die Ausbildung gerade online gemacht und kann sie jedem empfehlen, der/die/* schon länger mit dem Gedanken spielt eine hochwertige Yogaausbildung zu machen. Wann wenn nicht jetzt!
Mein Lehrer heißt Akhilesh und ist ein ganz besonderer Lehrer. Man merkt, dass er Yoga wirklich lebt; es fließt durch seine DNA. Genau danach habe ich gesucht.
Danke, für diese Zeit Akhi!

I would always again book it. I definitely had the best yoga classes here. Actually no words can really describe how great it was, loved it so much. Thank you Akhi and the whole group, it was more than a pleasure!
Who ever reads that….book your yoga training!!!

Akshay and Akilesh are incredible and Akilesh‘s classes are probably the best I‘ve ever attended so far 🙂
The environment is very nice as well – the beach is just across the street and the atmosphere in the coffeshops close by is very relaxed and cozy 🙂
..so if you’re ready to start your journey – don’t hesitate, just go ahead – you won’t regret it! 😊



It was my first visit to India. I was picked up from the airport and taken to the yoga school. I was warmly welcomed there. The accommodation is good, the food wonderful. There were curries in various variations. Super compatible – also for European stomachs.
The training is of very good quality. Very good mix of theory and practice. I was taught everything about philosophy and anatomy that I need to start teaching. The Yoga Shala is fantastic, located right next to the accommodations.
Akhilesh is a great teacher. It combines traditional yoga with yoga in today’s world. I did the best yoga classes ever with him. I grew beyond myself through the training and never want to miss this experience again.
There were eight of us in the course. Akhilesh dealt with each individually and no question was left unanswered. A great family situation.
The place offers everything else to get a little holiday feeling. A wonderful beach, small shops and good restaurants. At no time did I feel unsafe there.
During the weeks I became a student and a teacher and was able to give my first class three days after returning to Germany.
I am grateful and will definitely return to this place❤️
