Arlene De Abreu / September 201914 Days Yoga & Ayurveda in Rishikesh, India

I decided on Vidya Mandiram because the dates suited me & I really couldn’t have found a better place. The ashram is slightly out of town so you get to experience the calmness of the mountains and nature all around you. The teachers really know what they’re doing and go out of their way to meet your expectations. I did the 2 weeks Ayurveda course and loved it, I was able to move my afternoon Ayurveda practical session and attend the Ashtanga classes as well. The food was delicious too! I can’t recommend this place enough. It was life changing.
