Drishti Vinyasa Yoga Shala

Raj is a one of a kind teacher who attends to the spiritual and practical parts of yoga with equal effort and great knowledge. His adjustments are effective and by no means dogmatic, not sticking or strict to some specific rules. He’d rather tell you the anatomy or mechanism behind each movement and to adjust according to the student’s proportion and condition. Not only does he teach the techniques, but he teaches the teaching skills that allow you to apply everything you learn as well. Best of all, you get to practice on teaching so much during the training until you feel ready as a teacher. Raj also has profound understanding of yoga philosophy and the yogic tradition, which he incorporates in many inspiring and non-preaching ways, and he’s always willing to share the knowledge if you ask. Because of this spirit of union, devotion and doing good deeds Raj has spred, this training I had was filled with good vibes—friendly, vibrant and beautiful people connecting with each other doing brilliant things. I can’t imagine a better TTC experience other than this here at Drishti with Raj.

Frankly speaking this is the best Yoga training course I've known. The whole training course is polished delicately. It is related to nearly every important aspect of Yoga, and every part is well waved in as the course going deeply. When I start to teach and look back and revise my note, I could always find new knowledge and understand more the reasons behind. Raj is a real Yoga teacher who is not only focusing on teaching but also a model of a Guru. Four months learning on every weekend build up deep connection between me and Raj. The more I know about him the more I want to learn from him, and I realise that once I am a student of him, he will always be my teacher on the path of Yoga. And thanks to every classmate who gave me support on this unforgettable journey, wish you all have good luck on this pathway. Again Thank you Raj ~ I will miss you . BTW : I will not give up Pincha!

I joined the training with many doubts: do I really want to do this, will I complete the whole training (it's 4 months without weekend)? And it happened in this way, these doubts kept appearing but the same time these weekends became my favourite, I expect to go back to that classroom everyday, I just couldn't stop thinking about what we learnt from the class and would like to know more... and time flies without notice, I clearly see my own improvement not only simply on the physical practice, more importantly I could feel my own body the way I never did before, the focus that‘s built up to dedicate on one thing... no matter if I would do something related to yoga in career wise in the future, I am sure what I have gained from this experience would keep being in part my life.

I have taken 200hrs yoga teacher training in 2021 at Drishti Vinyasa Yoga Shala in Shanghai. Every weekends during 4 months I joined the studio and nourished my soul, body and mind. This experience gave me all the tools and strong foundations to become a yoga teacher. I am so grateful for all what teacher Raj offered us during this very intense period of our life. Raj is 100% devoted to the training, he is guiding you during every single step, his lecture are captivating, his alignments and adjustments classes always very knowledgeable and precious. Raj is really self-dedicated to the training, every theory classes are fascinating, every practice classes are challenging and he pushes yourself in a way to give you all the resources that you need to create a habit and continue doing it, in order that Yoga become part of your lifestyle. Raj is from India, he has a profound understanding of yoga philisophy, history and the yogic tradition. He is patient, kind, serious and always willing to answer your questions ; he is also very demanding towards your personal engagement as a future yoga teacher. I would have not imagine a better experience and I am beyond grateful for every minute spent in Drishti Vinyasa Yoga Shala. I highly recommend you to commit with yourself and enrol in the 200hrs TTC at Drishti Vinyasa Yoga Shala with teacher Raj. Namaste.

The 200 hour TTC training at Drishti Yoga Shala was the best decision I took in my life so far. The pace of it, every weekend for 4 months, enables you to digest every single bit of information. Raj's lectures are fascinating, and he explains complicated topics in straightforward ways, with clear examples and illustrations. While it is a demanding course, its intensity uplifts you and helps to motivate you to learn more. Overall it really is a life-changing course. Before enrolling, I never thought I wanted to become a teacher, I simply hoped to practice in a way that is safe for my body and mind. Now I am so keen to share what I have learned, and still learn every day. I have gone deeper in my practice far more than I ever would have on my own. It's like the curtains of the theatre stage have just opened! Thank you, Raj! Dhanya Vad

Just as vinyasa itself, the training is scientic, beautiful, logical. I think it's one of the best decision I made ! Teacher Raj always say" to do things mindfully and beautifully", he is very strict on alignments, attitude, adjustment, pranayama etc, but still very creative on sequence arrangement; and he is details oriented, knowledgeable but still very modest, and his adjument skill, to be honest, is unparalleled! When I graduate from this TTC, I realized how he arranged the courses thoughtfully, not just train our asana and understanding about theory, but also he gradually cultivate our courage, confidence by offering us the chance to teach in group. thanks for everything!

I did not really knew what to be expected and what I have experienced was far more than I could have expected. A very warm environment, kind and supportive staff and Rajeev, our teacher, with so much patience and profound knowledge in all aspects. It was the right decision and I can only recommend to anyone in the area around or is coming to Shanghai some day and interested in a Vinyasa Yoga Teacher training to do it at Drishti Vinyasa Yoga Shala. I am grateful for every minute. Namaste!

I loved every bit of the 200h YTT with teacher Raj. The course had a strong focus on teaching skills, alignments & adjustments, which I think is the most crucial part to prep one to be a great yoga teacher. Apart from that, teacher Raj also made sure that we understand yoga more than just asanas, by including a variety of topics, from yoga history & philosophy, anotomy, pranayama, dhyana, kriyas, bandhas to chantings and prayers. I am confident to say that after this 200h training, I am now both physically and mentally ready to teach and guide people to embark their yoga journey. The past 4 months have been an amazing experience! It definitely made 2020 even more memorable! Thank you Raj and all my lovely classmates for the support and guidance. Together, we learn, we laugh and we grow! Namaste! :)
