"Wonderful "

The teachers (Vishnu and yogesh ) have been amazing, kind, helpful, gave us so much insight and knowledge, they’re beautiful souls, funny, gentle, professional and passionate. They taught us a lot, as much in practical and theory classes. Kriti and Byen are also incredible, they run the place with so much kindness, lightness, and always smiling. They’re both super social, kind, and so funny, you can always have talks and good vibes with them and they’ll always try to help you ! The food was also amazing, they hired the best cook (a young chef, Ajé, always smiling) who makes Nepali/healthy food, it’s delicious ! I would recommand this place 100000%, you could never get any better.

"Home Away from Home"

I truly enjoyed every aspect of the experience from the location that lends itself to breathtaking views from your porch rooftop terrace to the sense of family that is created by the owners, staff, and teachers. I stayed in a private room and it was spacious and clean. There’s a little coffee tale outside each room with a comfy chair that allows for relaxing to E with a book/journal and coffee. The yoga studio is incredible and even comes with air conditioner for muggy days. There’s a Bluetooth speaker there and at night you can chill in there and have a dance party if you wanted…as long as you are mindful of noise and keep it down after 10pm. The teachers are full of knowledge, love, patients, and personal experiences that bring a layer of authenticity to their teachings. I was terribly sick for 3 days there and I didn’t say anything the first day and it was terrible because I felt like I was going through it all alone, but the moment Kriti and Biren found out they were rushing over to me giving me comfort, medicines and healing foods. It felt like they were mom and dad coming to my aid and nursing me back to health. That brought my spirits up and I wasn’t so sad haha! The staff is constantly cleaning and being you fresh towels and clean sheets. My experience was better than anything I could have ever imagined. I’m so grateful for this space and everyone who makes it possible.

This isn’t something I necessarily didn’t like, but something to be aware of…if you plan to take a taxi from town back up to the school Google maps WILL get you lost, so just make sure the taxi driver is arranged before hand and is a local from near the school or is a taxi driver who is familiar with the schools location.

"A truly authentic, transformational yogic experience"

From start to finish, everything was above and beyond my expectations: the atmosphere in the beautiful mountains, clean and spacious facilities, friendly staff (more like your second family by the time you’re done), supportive batch mates from all around the world, and just all around positive vibes. And oh my goodness the FOOD. Probably the main highlight of my stay. I was worried that it was just going to be a lot of dal, but every day we had something new, varied, healthy, and SO flavourful. Everyone always went back for seconds (sometimes thirds!). Regardless of which training you sign up for, it will challenge you physically and mentally. Having done yoga for a few years on and off I thought it was going to be “easy,” and man I got my butt kicked. The instructors Yogesh and Vishnu are truly the best of the best - physically, they will guide you past your limits; mentally, enlighten you through teachings of yoga philosophy, history, and their own experiences; spiritually, make you reflect on the role yoga plays in your life as well as your role on this earth. Through class discussions, self-study time, and especially the silent meditation day, I’ve learnt more about myself in these three weeks than I have in the last year living at home on autopilot. I can’t express how glad I am that I chose Mandala for my first YTT, how grateful I am to the whole team for this experience, & how much I miss everyone already. Mandala, I'll be coming back soon!

Coming from a high-caloric, animal meat diet back home, I struggled with the adjustment to vegetarianism. I anticipated this so brought (and quickly finished) my own snacks, but it would’ve been perfect if Mandala provided some snacks (fruits, nuts, etc.) throughout the day as well
