The way the classes are planned is phenomenal. You take back so so much with you and one still feels to keep on exploring and experiencing more and more. From their Yoga Manual, Recordings, theme based classes, Mantra chantings, Bhajans, Satsang everything is just beyond perfect. The most wholesome experience was the 2 day Yoga retreat which Sayujya yoga had organized for us. It was a surreal experience and had so many take aways from that 2 day retreat. I just hope to continue to learn from Hardik sir and Prutha ma'am and dive deep into the ocean of Yoga. Thank you so very much Sayujya Yoga for this beautiful life changing experience.

I had an excellent experience with the Yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC) at Sayujya Yoga. Both Ma'am and Sir were incredible mentors—clear, patient, and extremely knowledgeable about the topics. Their teaching style was not only inspiring but also transformational. This journey helped me grow in so many ways, both personally and professionally. Highly recommend Sayujya Yoga to anyone seeking authentic and enriching yoga education! The yoga retreat with Sayujya Yoga was nothing short of amazing! It was the perfect blend of relaxation, learning, and self-discovery. The serene environment, thoughtful planning, and beautifully guided sessions by Ma'am and Sir created an atmosphere of peace and positivity.

I recently did my 200 hours TTC with Sayujya Yoga. The founders and instructors Hardik ji and Prutha ji are very passionate and knowledgeable about yoga. The course covers a lot of aspects of yoga teaching and practice like anatomy, physiology, functional approach towards asanas, inclusive alignment methods, pranayama, Patanjala Yoga Sutras, chakras, basics of Ayurveda, and much more. It was truly a holistic course, I'd highly recommend it to others. I live in the United states so I was initially skeptical about the timezone differences, but they were very accommodative in structuring the classes which helped the US participants also to finish the course on time. If you want to learn yoga the right way, you are definitely in great hands with Sayujya Yoga! Aashna Mabian2024-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After visiting several well known yoga institutes in Mumbai, I discovered Sayujya Yoga’s page through Instagram and signing up for the 200 hours TTC by Sayujya Yoga has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Hardik sir’s knowledge about alignments gives you the ways to make yoga accessible to everyone.This course has helped me to significantly deepen my asana alignment understanding, prop usage and how can we avoid injuries. Prutha ma'am knowledge about philosophy and anatomy is significant. All concepts are well taught by her. The best part is they are very friendly. supriya rangar2024-11-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed my yoga certification online with Sayujya Yiga, and it was an incredibly transformative experience. From the very first module, I felt fully supported and guided, not only in learning the technical aspects of yoga but also in deepening my personal connection to the practice. The curriculum was thoughtfully structured, covering everything from foundational asanas and alignment to pranayama, meditation, and philosophy. Even though the course was online, the instructors made each session interactive and engaging, creating a strong sense of community among students from all around the world. Their depth of knowledge and passion for yoga was evident in every lesson, and they provided personalized feedback on my practice, which helped me grow immensely. One of the highlights was the integration of yoga philosophy with practical techniques. We explored the spiritual and ethical aspects of yoga, which brought a whole new dimension to my understanding and personal practice. Additionally, the flexibility of an online format was invaluable—I could study and practice at my own pace while balancing my other commitments. I would highly recommend Sayujya Yoga to anyone looking for a comprehensive, authentic yoga education. This program has not only equipped me to confidently teach yoga but has also fostered a personal transformation that goes beyond the mat.
