Over 90 students have completed our 200 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh since 2021. Here's what a few of them have to say about the training, the teachers, and life on campus.
We've just returned from a phenomenal 10 day retreat with Om Setu in Tapovan, Rishikesh. When we initially booked our trip some months ago we were overwhelmed by there being so many yoga companies in Rishikesh to choose from. We didn't know for sure what we would experience when deciding upon Om Setu. Any uncertainties soon dispersed upon arrival & meeting our host. Over the course of our 10 day trip, They were the perfect hosts and took very good care of our needs immersing us into cultural and local excursions and ceremonies & experiences. Teachers are friendly, insightful & talented meditation & pranayama teacher and kind & thoughtful host. As a result, our trip was an unforgettable experience. We have so many beautiful memories which we will hold dear in our hearts & will be returning. If you are considering an immersive experience of Rishikesh with a caring company then look no further than Om Setu, I highly recommend & rest assured you will be in good hands. 🙏🧡🇮🇳🧘♂️

Situated in the foothills of the Himalayas on the bendy bank of the river Ganges is the Om Setu Yogashala 🧘🏻♀️🧡 You’d think, that because of the stunning mountain back drop and mesmerising green flow of the sacred river just a stones throw from your room, that it’s all about the location. But its not just that - the amazing programme put together for my best friend and me was delivered by the loveliest human beings I’ve ever met, and it’s people that make your memories and experiences so special. All are funny, kind and welcoming and love to share their knowledge with you. If you go, (and you really should!!), say hello to my far away friends for me. 🥰But not to worry if you forget - I will return!✨ …Oh and just a heads up; it’s really quite windy in the mornings on the Ganges, so take a hoodie!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Om Setu Yogashala. We were so well looked after by Host and his team. The quality and professionalism of the teachers was outstanding. Arti is a fantastic yoga teacher and Ayurvedic practitioner. Bhuppi is an exceptional Pranayama and Meditation teacher who generously shares his knowledge and wisdom. All this on the banks of the river Ganges. Perfect location. Host has organised a wonderful schedule which includes many excursions and everyone is so giving of their time. Felt very well looked after. Really going to miss all people. It was quite sad to say goodbye.
Australia
We visited for a 5 day yoga retreat. We had an amazing experience both on the retreat doing yoga and meditation but also doing the other activities on the schedule which they generously gave their time to. It trully was a wonderful experience and we will return to beautiful Rishikesh and Om Setu Yogashala retreat. Namaste 🙏

You will have an amazing experience if you chose this retreat in Rishikesh. Host is one of the most genuine kind and caring people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He ensures that every day of your yoga retreat experience is wonderful, nothing is too much trouble, he is flexible and will adjust the timetable in any way you wish to ensure that every experience you hope for is achieved. He took such good care of us that by the time we left we felt a bond like we were family. Bhupi Ji is a remarkable teacher of meditation, pranayama and yoga / Hindu philosophy and a wonderful human being, we learned so much from him and he took equally good care of us along with our incredible excursions. The location of the accommodation is outstanding - you open your room door directly onto a terrace which is on the beach of the beautiful Ganga. Located at the edge of Tapovan this is a tranquil and beautiful spot. I cannot recommend this experience more highly.
