READ WHAT OUR GRADUATES TELLS ABOUT OUR TRAINING

Drishti vinyasa yoga shala is a great learning platform for all yogis no matter what level you are. They have structured the course very well with detailed explanation through manuals, visuals and hands on postural correction techniques. Raj, our yoga teacher is very patience, great knowledge and always willing to answer any questions. Learning techniques from him was a great experience which personally helped me in correcting my posture, breathing techniques and also now I can help others to understand the importance of yoga in their life. Highly recommend this place.

When I first signed up for this 200-hour yoga teacher training, I had clear goals in mind. But let me tell you, I didn’t just check every box on my list—I walked away with so much more than I ever expected! This journey taught me two things: how to practice yoga safely as a yoga practicer, and how to grow and break through limits both physically and mentally as a future yoga teacher. The best part? Learning yoga from an educator’s perspective is a whole new adventure—way more fascinating and eye-opening than just showing up to a regular class. It’s a joy to dive deep into this practice, and every day felt like a fun, rewarding exploration. Huge shoutout to my amazing instructor, Rajeev! With over 20 years of teaching experience, he’s not just knowledgeable, but also he shares his wisdom with such warmth and approachability. Every answer he gave was clear, thorough, and always rooted in both science and the holistic mind-body-spirit essence of yoga. I absolutely adore his teaching philosophy; it’s balanced, thoughtful, and exactly what I needed to fall even more in love with yoga. Thank you, Drishti Vinyasa Yoga Shala, for giving me this beautiful start to my yoga teaching journey. This isn’t just a training—it’s the foundation of a lifelong passion. It's an incredible four-month I will cherish forever!

From day one, Rajeev’s expertise in bridging the traditions of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga was evident. He skillfully wove together the precision of alignment-focused Hatha practices with the dynamic fluidity of Vinyasa, ensuring we understood not just the *how* but the *why* behind each asana, cue, and sequence. What truly set his teaching apart was his insistence on cultivating awareness beyond the physical. He repeatedly emphasized the importance of tuning into the “state of mind and body” of future students, teaching us to observe subtleties like breath patterns, energy levels, and emotional cues. This holistic approach has equipped me to teach with compassion and adaptability, honoring each student’s unique needs. Rajeev’s attention to detail was remarkable. He patiently broke down complex postures into accessible components, demonstrating how to safely guide students of all levels. His feedback during practicums was both constructive and nurturing—he’d gently adjust a misplaced hand in Downward Dog or refine our cueing language to ensure clarity. Beyond asana, he delved into anatomy, philosophy, and the art of sequencing, ensuring we grasped yoga as a lifelong practice rather than a mere physical exercise. His lessons on creating inclusive, trauma-informed classes were particularly impactful, underscoring the responsibility we hold as teachers. The shala itself provided a serene, supportive environment for learning. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, and the community of fellow trainees became a source of encouragement. Rajeev fostered an atmosphere where questions were welcomed, vulnerabilities honored, and growth celebrated. His humility and passion were infectious; he often shared stories from his own journey, reminding us that teaching yoga is a practice of continuous learning. What I cherish most is how Rajeev balanced tradition with modernity. While he rooted us firmly in yogic philosophy—he also encouraged us to adapt these teachings to contemporary contexts. Whether discussing modifications for injuries or the role of mindfulness in today’s fast-paced world, he prepared us to meet students where they are. To anyone considering a YTT in Shanghai, Dristi Vinyasa Yoga Shala is a gem. Rajeev’s wisdom, generosity, and genuine care for his students create a nurturing space for transformation. This program doesn’t just certify teachers—it shapes mindful educators who carry forward the heart of yoga. Thank you, Rajeev, for lighting this path with such grace and integrity. I leave not only with a certificate but with a renewed spirit and the tools to share yoga’s gifts with the world.

After practicing at Drishti for 2 years, I decided to complete the 200-hr TTC, which has been an extremely fulfilling experience. I learned so much from Raj throughout our training, and the timing and structure of the program really allows for the material learned to sink in. We covered everything from anatomy, philosophy, and history to sequencing and adjustments. The homework and additional practice throughout the week really aided the absorption of the material we covered each weekend. Raj is a really wonderful teacher. He does a great job of balancing a disciplined but fun learning environment, and he is incredibly in tune with the needs, strengths and weaknesses of each student. The opportunity to practice teaching and adjustments with the cohort has been really helpful for applying the alignments and adjustments in class. I cannot recommend this yoga teacher training more highly!
