Sarvaguna Yoga Teacher Training school

I did my 200h yoga teacher training in Savarguna, it was really a good choice!
The group was small, the courses were really qualitative. From the beginning you learn how to teach and you feel prepared at the end of the month. I learned a lot, the pace is quite intense and it’s hard to take time for yourself. It was maybe to much for me as teaching was not my priority but I would definitely recommend this course for people who really want to teach yoga.
The food was really good and you have a lot but a bit heavy for sensitive stomachs. The accommodation was clean and nice.
It was a good and rich experience, I love yoga even more. Thanks to Keshava and Shubu.

Before my trip to India, I conducted a thorough research on the Meditation Teacher Training Courses in India. Out of 20 schools based in Northern India, I felt really drawn to Sarvaguna led by Dr Keshava. He is the most genuine, kind and pure person I have met. And Keshava is a very knowledgeable mentor - he is like a walking library. He is also caring and he cared a lot for his students and our experience during the course.

I have learnt so much about meditation, as well as philosophy from Keshava.

I also met and connected with some beautiful and kind people that I feel we can be friends for life.

I came back home feeling at peace and I have realised more things about life and myself. It was definitely a life-changing experience thar I’m forever grateful.

Big thank you to Keshava, Shubu and the rest of his team!

I did the meditation teacher training course in September in Dharmasala very nice experience, what I appreciate about this school is that it invites us to explore the depths of our being and to reconnect with our natural state of “pure consciousness”. What I understood there and which marked me was the first lesson of Mr. Keshava "you are neither a body nor a soul, nor a spirit, you are simply pure consciousness, meditation will help you remove all your conditioning and gradually regain this natural state of peace.
Plan a good K-way because it can rain a lot in this region, the setting is magnificent. In short, I recommend

I recently completed my meditation teacher training with Keshava, and I can confidently say that it was the best decision I could have made for my personal and professional growth. Keshava is not just a teacher, but a true guide and mentor who has an immense amount of knowledge and love for the practice of meditation.

From the very first day of the training, Keshava created a warm and welcoming environment that allowed us to feel comfortable and open to learning. His teaching style is incredibly engaging and he has a unique ability to simplify complex concepts, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of their prior experience with meditation.

What sets Keshava apart from other teachers is his genuine love and passion for meditation. It is evident in every word he speaks and every technique he demonstrates. His enthusiasm is contagious, and it motivated me to dive deeper into my own practice and explore new dimensions of meditation that I had never considered before.

Throughout the training, Keshava provided us with a comprehensive understanding of various meditation techniques, including mindfulness, loving-kindness, and transcendental meditation. He not only taught us the theory behind each technique but also guided us through practical exercises, allowing us to experience the benefits firsthand.

One aspect of the training that I particularly appreciated was Keshava's emphasis on the importance of self-care and self-compassion. He encouraged us to prioritize our own well-being and reminded us that meditation is not just a tool for helping others, but also a means of nurturing our own inner peace and happiness.

Keshava's dedication to his students is truly remarkable. He was always available to answer our questions, provide guidance, and offer support whenever needed. His patience and understanding created a safe space for us to share our experiences and challenges, fostering a sense of community among the trainees.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the profound impact Keshava has had on my life. His teachings have not only deepened my own meditation practice but have also equipped me with the necessary skills and confidence to share this transformative practice with others.

If you are considering meditation teacher training, I wholeheartedly recommend Keshava as your guide. His knowledge, passion, and love for meditation are unparalleled, and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to learn from him.

After doing the 100h Meditation Teacher Training in Goa last year, I came back to the school in Dharamshala for the 200h Yoga Teacher Training.

The Philosophy classes and Meditations go very deep and I never got tired of Keshava's jokes.

In the Asana Classes we learned to teach from the first week and our Teacher Shubu prepared us perfectly to create our own Yoga classes.

Keshava and Shubu were always caring and attentive to everyone of us, whether we had issues in the classes or health problems, they would always give a solution to us.

I take all the great memories and a lot of skills and inspiration home

I have been living in the Bay Area for nearly a decade, exploring meditation in various traditions. However, my experience of the 100h MTT at Sarvaguna was truly groundbreaking. With Dr. Keshava's teachings, deeply rooted in yoga philosophy/cosmology, I gained crystal-clear insights and a profound understanding of meditation. His warm personality and great support of their team made the journey even more enriching and nuturing.

Located in majestic mountains, as it felt like floating among the clouds, the serene atmosphere creates a sense of being elevated, both physically and spiritually. I also want to mention that they have a nice hot shower, which is really important for us Japanese folks. Overall you get a lot more for what you pay. This should be worth 4K in the Bay Area. Absolutely incredible!

If you’re looking for a meditation course, you’re meant to see this and join Dr Keshava!

It was an incredible experience doing 100 hours of meditation with Dr Keshava. I have done 800 hours of YTT across India, and it was an absolute pleasure and blessing to have met Dr Keshava in the beautiful foothills of Himalayas! He is extremely knowledgeable in philosophy and spirituality! I feel confident to teach meditation in my yoga classes too.

Location is magnificent overlooking Dharamshala and it’s really conducive with the quietness of the mountains. I loved the days we went to the waterfall for meditation and our neti party on the roof terrace.

Food provided by the school was amazing and Sattvic! I loved my stay at Cosmic Geeks too.

Thank you for everything Dr Keshava and team!

The time I spent at Sarvaguna Yoga Dhaama in Dharamshala was some of the most transformative of my life. My husband and I took part in the 100 hour Meditation teacher training, taught by Keshava-ji. I learnt so much about the mind, my fellow humans and Yogic philosophy and deeply about myself. It was truly brilliant, Keshava's teaching shines so brightly, I felt that I couldn't get enough!

I was originally booked to do the 300hour Yoga Teacher Training, but I arrived with a bad injury which prevented me from fully taking part in the asana classes. No matter, wonderful teachers, Shubu and Yogeesh, helped me and enabled me to continue practicing with modifications even once I had switched to the meditation course. Ultimately, I felt the universe was giving all the signals that meditation was where I was meant to be and the signs weren't worng.

I'm quite in awe of how Keshava runs the school with such care, kindness and compassion. It's inspiring and makes me reflect and want to do better! From taking care of health problems, to lovely trips to waterfalls and tekking, to excursions to the Dalai Lama's birthday celebrations, Keshava facilitated all to ensure we all had the best experience possible.

Once the meditation course was completed, I asked if it was possible to fulfill Reiki Level 1 training with Keshava, who is a Reiki Master. Despite a hectic schedule, he took the time to train me into the healing art, something which is invaulable for me.

Our accommodation was very comfortable and food super yummers! Not to mention satvic:) And being in this location, in the mountains, the Himalaya is quite remarkable.

The other course participants were all true delights, I feel I have made friends for life, and I hope beyond hope that this will not be my final time at Sarvaguna Yoga Dhaama!

I am immensely full of gratitude:)

I have just completed the 100 hour meditation teacher training with Sarvaguna in Bhagsu in the gorgeous Himalayan mountains. I cannot recommend this programme enough. The syllabus is thorough, demanding and at the same time totally achievable. From the basics of sitting posture through to clear guidance in a variety of profound meditation techniques, this covers it all. I feel I have a robust practice which I will now carry into my daily life as I work towards Samadhi. In Dr. Keshava you will find a truly genuine teacher with tireless compassion and energy. His lessons on philosophy have given me a firm grounding upon which to build and his presence is an inspiration for continuing on the path of self-realisation. From a practical point of view, the whole setup is incredibly conducive to learning. Accommodation is simple and comfortable and the food is superb. Bhagsu, while a little loud on the weekends is a stunning setting for self-enquiry. Keshava added countless touches from booking and paying for taxis to see the Dalai Lama on his 88th birthday and handing out snacks on the trekking day out to providing us with washing lines and offering Ayurvedic / yogic treatment for constipation. I feel truly blessed to have encountered such a teacher and I have no doubt a trip to Goa in on the cards in the near future.

I completed a 300h YTT at Sarvaguna Yoga Dhaama and I feel truly blessed that I found this school. The quality of the courses was incredibly high and the program was nicely balanced (between meditation, pranayama, asanas, alignment clinics, anatomy, philosophy and other classes). The food was absolutely delicious and the Himalayan surroundings made everything particularly special and spiritual. Overall, it was a greatly transformative experience, and I encourage everyone who can to attend any of Sarvaguna’s trainings! Namaste, Lena.

I did the 100 hrs meditation training this past April/May 2022 in Dharamshala.
The experience was the best part of my trip to India. I live in the States.
The class size was small, to me that was priceless, as sometimes I have signed up for trainings in India that are over crowded.
The teachings of Keshava were so precise and in depth that made the experience one to cherish in a life time.
The views of the Himalayas were spectacular, accommodations were simple, clean and with a breath taking view that made my 32hr journey so worth it
As 500hr yoga instructor, I have made many trips to India for training, this one by far was my best. As good schools are getting hard to come by, this is the real thing.
I highly recommend the school and the training, is an experience you will cherish for a life time. Namaste.

I did the two-week Meditation Teacher Training in Bhagsu/ Dharamkot, located North of Dharamsala. I love the Himalayan mountains so it was the perfect place. The meditation training is a huge enrichment in my meditation practice. I had an amazing experience. The course is very suitable for learning the basics and trying out different forms of meditation. Dr. Keshava teaches his knowledge with great dedication and authenticity. The meditation participants also take part in the yoga classes (Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin) of the parallel Yoga Teacher Training. The philosophy and pranayama classes are also taught together. Highlights for me were a Saturday hike to the mountains and several meditation sessions at a nearby waterfall.

I'm so glad to have found Sarvaguna Yoga Teacher Training School. I came for a 10 day retreat (which, in itself, was amazing) but I also spent time dropping in on philosophy classes for the Yoga and Meditation Teacher Trainings. Although challenged by the yoga and meditation (part of the process), I was energized by the atmosphere and eager to learn. The teachers are amazing and ready/willing to impart their extensive knowledge. Big shout out to Dr. Keshava whose patience, wisdom and kindness are the backbone of the entire experience.

Worth noting, I came with an injury and received really helpful yoga modifications and meditation advice. I still found myself making progress despite the setbacks I thought I was experiencing.

All around, an incredible experience that feels surreal until you remind yourself that all you have is the present moment so you can really soak it all in.

Had an amazing experience doing the 10 day yoga meditation retreat at Sarvaguna Yoga School. The teaching was incredible and the stay was comfortable and super calming. Situated in the beautiful hills of bagsu nag, you have an incredible view. Would definitely recommend this course, I was new to meditation and it was introduced in a really easy to understand manner.

I was looking for some training on reiki energy healing and I found Sarvaguna yoga teacher training school. At that moment I felt super excited with the idea of learning reiki in the Indian Himalayas. I had to take advantage of the situation and I also got into the meditation teacher program (2 weeks) in order to acquire a good foundation for the daily practice of meditation.

I cannot be more happy of my decision. I did not only enjoy my staying here but also met a lot of wonderful perople. Dr. Keshava and Mohit have been amazing teaching during my staying here.
I appreciate all the kindness, passion and love conveyed throughout the practice of mediation and reiki in Sarvaguna yoga teacher training school.
