Straight From Our Students: Reviews And Testimonials

Maa Yoga Ashram was a wonderful and peaceful place with a good vibe. The staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. The yoga and meditation instructors in our 200 hour YTT program did their best to teach and correct us independently according to our yoga level. We were in a small group, and we got so much individual attention in all the classes. It’s near the Ganges river, which was very refreshing. Also, the rooms were clean and comfortable in every way.
