TESTIMONIALS
My 200 hours Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh isn't over yet, but I already feel how much my practice and understanding of the subject have deepened since I met Ravinder. His teaching style is light and profound at the same time, his experience helped me to approach Asanas with confidence, his way of showing me alignments and adjustments has provided me with useful and accurate information, making things simple and effective and giving me precious insights on the most authentic traditons of the yogic lifestyle. He's respectful of every student and takes his teaching role very seriously and professionally, but with that light hearted happy attitude which makes life and learning more enjoyable. It has been a honor to meet him and I hope I can treasure everything he taught.

"Ravinder has been incredible to work with since day one, but what makes him a truly great teacher is his adaptability. Everything he does in the classroom, from modifications and adjustments to his jokes and characters, is tailored to his students. No one is left behind or ignored, whether advanced practitioner or clumsy beginner. In his class, I've already grown leaps and bounds, but I also feel as though I have the foundations to continue my upward growth. His openness, presence, and genuine care for each student have made all the difference in my practice, and I would recommend him whole heartedly to anyone at any level. Yoga practice is a personal journey, and a kind, competent guide is essential. I will always, always be grateful for Ravinder's guidance."
BrianGERMANY 
Ravindra has great knowledge of yoga and the asanas. He's mastering the postures himself and can show greatly the examples how to get to the asana, how to maintain the posture and how to get off from the posture. He can instruct the students very well that as well. He's got great knowledge to have different adjustments and options for stiffer bodies, newcomers but also for more skilled yogis. In overall he is complete yoga teacher for all level from beginners to advanced practicers
