"An opportunity of a lifetime"

In 2014 I had the great fortune to study and be taught by my yoga teacher and great friend Krishna. A truly dedicated practitioner and teacher of yoga, Krishna has a unique and genuine way of teaching the true essence, science and philosophy of Yoga. Not only has he an incredible in depth understanding of yoga asanas, but he generously shares his own understandings of life and how to conduct oneself as a happy healthy human being.

I learnt so many wonderful things during my 300hr TTC and I owe it to Krishna who has helped me to become a fully qualified and able Yoga teacher.

The great thing about study with Krishna is that he accepts you as part of his family, immediately, and is always there willing to help many years on from when you first finished your course.

If you have the opportunity and are looking for a genuine YTTC in India, you have arrived at the right place - Samatva Yogalaya.

Thank you Krishna "

"Krishna is something special"

I wish there was a way I could give this more than a 5 star rating. I completed my 300hr YTT with Krishna as my instructor back in 2013, and words can't adequately explain the experience he blessed me with. Krishna has this unexplainable kindness and nurturing energy. I look back on my months of training, at only 19 years of age, and my mind goes immediately to him and his incredible ability to listen, teach, love and nurture.

After I completed my training with Krishna, I wen't onto study Kinesiology at University, as during my time in India, he fostered my love for human anatomy and urged me to follow that once unknown passion of mine. I still to this day (3 years later) keep in touch with Krishna regularly, and can safely say his teachings are something that will stay with me forever.

"Do yourself a favor and experience the magic of Sumatra Yogalaya"

No review I write could ever give Krishnaji enough praise! It is an honor to know and to learn from him! I still carry his words and wisdom with me in what ever I do! You will not regret your time or experience at Samatva Yogalaya. Krishnaji, I give you five stars and more because you mean the world to me!

"I took a 300h Teacher Training in 2015 …"

I took a 300h Teacher Training in 2015 with Krishna ji. He was the best teacher we could ask for. Not only in Asanas and Alignment but also in philosophy on and off the mat. The part of the philosophy is so interesting and a big part on the yoga way. He also teaches awareness in the asanas not only for the body but also for the mind. Awareness on the whole body, active work with the whole body and the awareness on the breath. “Don’t forget about your feet when you align your spine… and do something”. The Meditation and Mantra singing with him was extremely fine, I miss his voice and the beautiful mantras we sang together and especially the one he sang for us. All together it was one of the best decisions to take this course there. It´s life changing and I really hope I can come back again to visit him and learn a lot more from Krishna Ji. For everybody who wants to go to india to study yoga, Krishna is highly recommended because he not just teaches he lives yoga... "

"Great teacher - highly recommend!"

You know when you are accepted and treated as a family member - you are in the right place with the right people. It was my pleasure and honor to be accepted into Krishna ji's Yoga Family this summer during 300TTC in Rishikesh. Deeply devoted to Yoga practice and his students, Krishna ji is a great yogi, great teacher and amazingly caring human being. Taking responsibility of sharing the sacred knowledge to a high standard level. he shares with his students all that he knows with all his heart. When I connected with his style of teaching and fundamental outlook on life, I knew - I found teacher for life to continue my yogic journey with. Highly recommend to find your way to Rishikesh to his school! Always with gratitude....

"300hr TTC with Krishna"

After taking my 300hr TTC with Krishna, I highly recommend anyone who is interested in his courses to take them. He is very thorough with his Asana classes and gives individual attention to all students to improve themselves. My favorite class during our training was Yoga Philosophy where we were taught the foundation of Yoga through classical texts. My experience in Rishikesh is irreplaceable and I look forward to attending more of his trainings at Samatva Yogalaya

"for krishnaji"

"krishnaji
one of the most amazing intelligent and profound teacher i have ever come across in my life . a teacher with complete knowledge and the one who teaches yoga in its purest and correct form. not only a yoga teacher but a perfectionist and a disciplinary who imaparts selflessly to all his students.i feel lucky and blessed as i have been with him in 300 hr ttc and the way he has taught us i can feel it once i have started teaching back home and i am being appreciated a lot by people. the well versed and profound teacher krishna ji has taught me so many small aspects of how one should be and how a nice yoga teacher should be , knowingly and unknowingly he has changed so many small things in me for good and giving me a perfect guideline in my yogic journey.. it is an opportunity to be with him him thank u so much krishnaji for everything. and he imaprts what he has selflessly and thats the best thing about him . the definition pf simplicity for whom yoga is the way of life is my guru krishnaji

thanks a lot for everything"

""Bhagavad Gita chapter six"

"Bhagavad Gita chapter six: For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy.
The most precious gift that my teacher Krishna offered me was his humble presence which inspired to observe - seeing is attention. Yoga and meditation are no means to an end. There is no end to be gained. Yoga (meditation) is a constant flowering. Not away from life but in life. Being yogi is to perform your duty, here - at that morning, in that deep silence. When you master yourself in stillness there will be a movement which the meditative mind can only understand. The thoughts will only trace their patterns. Thank you Krishna for teaching me the art of listening and simplicity. Thank you for your modest presence. Thank you for being my teacher but mostly thank you for being my friend. No matter how far away"

"Absolutely excellent"

I had the pleasure of being accepted into the yoga family of Krishna Ji at the end of 2014 during the 300-hour yoga teacher training. It has changed my life forever. Krishna is infinitely kind, knowledgeable, disciplined, and secretly very funny. He's also an amazing cook! He teaches yoga in its purest form. Under his guidance, I discovered that I am stronger (in body and mind) than I ever thought I could be. I can't wait to return to Rishikesh in 2017 to continue my education with him. Much love!

"Excellent School and Teacher"

I met with Krishna at the end of 2015. I did a 300 hours training with him. He is a dedicated and serious yogi and teacher. I miss every moment in his class. Not only in the class, he teaches you also outside the class with his teachings. He is a master in Yoga Philosophy and in Asana or Meditation classes, you can hear sutras and explainations from him about what you are doing there. His famous saying is, "Do Something!" which i remember in my life when i feel i don't do anything. Then i get up and do something. Krishna is a very disciplined teacher. I always thank him in my heart and soul for his teachings he shared with me. If you are looking for a serious yoga training, he is the one you should learn from. And i wish him and the Samatva Yogalaya team all the best, i know they will do their best and bring Rishikesh a new soul. Namaste
