        This is the real deal. Krishna and his family are nurturing and kind. The training takes one on a journey to the deep roots of yoga in India and provides humble and dedicated teachings for living your own yoga in today's world.

        10/10 would recommend attending this school. You're traveling to India for a reason, and you want to study in the best place you can. This is the place to do that.

        Krishna and Sangeeta were very welcoming and knowledgeable. They created an atmosphere that felt like family.

        My personal experience in Samatva is beyond amazing, it took me to another level of knowledge physically, mentally and spiritually. I was able to grow more into the practice of asanas, pranayamas, meditation as well as chanting mantras. Deepen my practice in shatkarma and build a stronger confidence in my teachings. Im forever grateful for both teacher and the school personnel.

        Krishna & Sangeeta are awesome at what they do! The knowledge that they pour into their students is definitely something that we will carry in our hearts and teachings forever. I appreciate my time there in India with them both. It has changed my life forever. To know them is to love them. Their baby girl Meeta is the most beautiful sweetest little girl in the world. Anytime I was a little home sick she’d come in the dinner room and do dances and sing songs and before you know it I’d forget all about my family at home. It’s a real genuine happy vibe there. Everyone’s super nice and respectful. Oh and the Cook DEEPAK!!!!!!!! Omg I wish I could ship home to America and let cook for me everyday. The food is absolutely delicious. The school is located in a real tourist area so theres lots of shops near by. I was in heaven as I just love to shop and did lots of it there. The rooms are nice, very clean. Bring your own pillow. Candle light meditation and yoga Nidra was my absolute favorite. Sangeeta makes you want to record her during yoga Nidra. Her voice puts you in such a zen/ relaxed mood. Overall I’d I learned everything I needed and more and I would definitely recommend this school. I give it 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
