Samatva Yogalaya - Rishikesh

"A true Yoga school"
When you travel all the way to Rishikesh, India, to study Yoga this means you have a strong desire inside to find a true teacher who has knowledge, experience, discipline and care. Krishna is that teacher who every aspiring student of Yoga wishes to find. He is what I would call a Complete Yoga Teacher as he doesn't stop teaching when the Asana class finishes. From Asana to Anatomy to Vedic Philosophy to Meditation to simply Being every day, Krishna will guide you lovingly and knowledgeably. Through Krishna's instruction I felt fully confident in what I had learned, and that I had been taught the right way, when you gain your teaching certification this is what you want to feel when you go to teach others. This is THE Yoga school to attend.

"Yoga is a preparation for death."
Krishna told us the purpose of yoga is a preparation for death. This shocked me at first but with some reflection, I have a better understanding for what this means. He has brought mindfulness and awareness to my practice.
I graduated from Krishna's 2nd round of 300hr course in Rishikesh March 2013. I am honored and so grateful I got to study with him. He is knowledgeable, kind and funny too!
In 2015, I visited India again for a longer trip (9weeks) with the intention of not going back to Rishikesh. At my 7th week, I needed some place familiar. I needed a piece of home. Rishikesh was calling. Krishna was gracious enough to let me sit in on his lectures and participate in a meditation and cleansing. The experience of returning to my school and my teachers was indescribable. It came at a time where I needed comfort. Krishna was a great mentor and advisor.
Anyone who wants to study yoga in India, must study with Krishna. It is an absolute must.
He is knowledgable on not only the physical practice, but the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita and Hatha Yoga Pradipika too! A wealth of knowledge on Yoga Therapy, various cleansing techniques. And his chanting...melts my heart!
I hope to visit Rishikesh and Krishna some day soon!

"Wonderful learning experience. Highly recommend!"
I have had incredible teachers on my yoga journey, and Krishna Sikhwal is undoubtedly one of them.
If you're thinking about going to India to study yoga, this is the man to do it with. He is knowledgeable, patient, disciplined, and kind. Words cannot fully express how this man and his teachings have affected my life. I can only recommend that you learn from him and experience it yourself.

"The true experience of YOGA"
I was blessed to have the opportunity not only to travel to India, but to be the student of Krishna Ji. I did my 300 hours in September - October 2016, and in that six weeks I learn more that in my years of practice.
Krishna is more that a professor. He lives in yoga and he invite you to expand that concept and feel it, experience it. Kriyas, pranayama, asanas, philosophy and meditation are part of the new universe that start to open to you, that start to really makes sense IN YOU.
In practical terms, Krishna is really dedicated in all he teach, and most of all, he leads by example. His asana classes are focus in alignment and in build the foundations in our practice. The philosophy are magical. He know by heart the traditional text and create a space where you can not only absorbed the new information, but also truly ask anything.
He is a piece of heaven, he breaks you ego, he invites you to open to the real yoga. He is a real guru. Thanks for everything Krishna Ji.

"Be a student so you will learn :)"
Krisna was my jan. 2017, 300 hrs yoga teacher in Philosophy, yoga asanas and mantra chanting. He is very serious but very cool yoga teacher. I am very impressed about the way he teaches us, i really learned a lot about all the information he shared to us. i am even applying it to my daily practice as well as in my teaching career in yoga. Yoga asanas practice with him really taught me how to make adjustment and correct the poses correctly. Your philosophy class is amazing i always love to listen so what ever i have been learned i can bring it home and shares to others. I wish i can stay longer in his teaching so i would learn more and more.
i love the quote he always reminded us.
be a student so you will learn.
if you don't feel any changes in the poses do something else!!!!
use your upper story!!!!
lower your ego so you will learn.
Krisna Thank you for being part of my yoga journey, what i have been leaned from your class is never been wasted because i am practicing and shared to my student as well.
Cheers to all Beautiful Hearts !!!!!
Namaste Adora

"Real yoga.."
Krishna deserves all my respect and devotion as a teacher. He teaches with no selfishness, honesty and honours what yoga is. I met him not only as a teacher but also as a friend, you will always learn from him!! If I have the chance to get another training, I will not hesitate to choose his school as first option...

"I spent several months with Krishna Ji"
I spent several months with Krishna Ji. Got my 500hr certification from him, and totally changed my life positively.
He is more than a teacher, his effort for teaching is more than impressive.

"Krishna Ji"
Father, Grandfather, Brother, Friend. These are the titles I give to the most respected men in my life, and as a teacher, Krishna encompassed all of them. Krishna is not only a teacher, he somehow also becomes your family. His extensive knowledge and obvious years of experience make him one of the most incredible people from whom I've had the pleasure to learn. His sense of humor and intelligence are unparalleled and you will leave his classes with not only a physical but a mental and spiritual depth you didn't know you had.He only teaches you what he knows and from his experience, you experience. Thank you Krishna, I can honestly say, you changed my life for the better. With all the love in the world, your student.

"Words arent enough"
I first met Krishna when I started my 300YTT in February 2016. He was our asana, philosophy, and meditation techer. He is very knowledgeable and autentic. He cares about each and every student and gets to know each and every one of them. He gives his studentes what they need not what they want. When he says his students are his family, this is true. You become part of his family and he treats you as such. He is very inspiring. I feel really lucky to have him as my teacher. Whenever I teach or practice yoga I think of him. And every now and then I look for my journal where I wrote things that he would say during class: "yoga is experienced based. 99% practice & 1% theory" "if your mind is affected by external stimuli, that's not yoga". Words are short to describe him. I can't wait to have the chance to learn from him again. I highly recommend him without any reservations to anyone who wants to take their yoga experience to a different level. I wish him and Samatva Yogalaya all the best. Namaste.

"Authentic Yoga"
Krishna-Ji is a wonderful teacher, yogi, and human being! In the years I have known him, worked with him and become friends with him, I have always seen him devote all of himself to his yoga path, his work, his students and his family with truthfulness, humour, compassion and discipline. As a teacher, I have seen him touch the lives and hearts of many on the path of yoga and I know that anyone who comes to him will be in very good hands!
