  1. During my 200 hours yoga teacher training with you, I underwent I big inner transformation. From feeling closed and misunderstood, I turned into a new being full of love and joy. How was this possible? I remember waking up before this 200 hours yoga teacher training and feeling sad every morning. And now? I have so much energy and feel happy to be alive and healthy. I believe that Yoga India Foundation teaches us students the most beneficial and powerful tools to connect to ourselves and begin a real yogic journey. I wish to thank them and recommend to anyone who wants a change: visit this ashram. You will be surprised what is possible…
