Shrimath Yoga

I recently finished a 30 day online yoga nidra course facilitated by Krishna ji. It has been a game changer in my life.
I have become consistent in many things in life and it seemed such an effortless experience.
The ancient traditional wisdom shared by Krishna ji is an eye opener. It is just the tip of the iceberg (of knowledge) but every word spoken feels so convincing to real life situations, making you look for solutions within.
I strongly feel that our treasure of knowledge must spread across our education system so that we learn to live life.
Personally I am observing changes in routine taking place spontaneously. I am super grateful for the support extended by Krishna Ji and the community at Shrimath.

Many thanks to Krishna sir for a deep and touching experience of Yoga nidra online course, the practice went much deeper than what I expected. It helped me relax and also increase my focus and mental clarity and self awareness.
I feel blessed that krishna sir gave me this opportunity to be part of Yoga nidra class. I would surely recommend people who is interested in self-awareness, relaxation and mental clarity.

Thank you sir

It was then during the Pandemic, I was hunting for a yoga teacher who not only for formality be a yoga teacher but, help me explore the answers for the real life questions and help walk the path of righteousness and spirituality. That is when I got introduced to Krishna Prakash Sir and Shrimath Yoga.
.
Though I had been practicing yoga and also helping with some group practices, I always felt that certifications will help teach better as there is a lot of acceptance in the society.
.
When i was confused, I started my journey with Yoga Nidra Course and happy to say I was able to get one of my wishes manifested with this.
.
Further continued with couple of more courses and I must say my learning journey at Shrimath countinues in the direction of Indic Life Coaching, Bhagavadgita, Yogasana and Pranayama, Meditation and more.
.
If you are someone hungry for knowledge in right way, this is the place to be.
.
Krishna Prakash Sir, Smriti Akka have really set up a beautiful place with amazing course outlined and they have Shobha and Kamal Supporting them.
.
Shrimath is a beautiful place to get lost in nature, witness beautiful sunrise, give ears to the chirping of birds, to feel the cool breeze, there is a goshala to spend time with sacred cows, meditation hall, small library, beautiful kitchen with traditional dining space, neat n clean food and what not!
.
Come join, experience and be the family of Shrimath today!

I completed my 21 Day/ 200 hour yoga teacher training experience; and it has been nothing short of amazing. Krishna, Smrithi and Hema give only from a place of passion and kindness. I thoroughly enjoyed discussing yoga theory and traditions with Krishna; who is happy to go deeper into any topic you are drawn to. Smrithi and Shoba always made sure we were well fed and taken care of. Everything down to even the tea is delicious. Hema patiently explains each asana posture, you can feel the teaching comes from a place of passion and devotion.
Helping in the garden, kitchen, doing housework or sharing at the local school was such a special time of the day and such a great opportunity to give back from a place of love and gratitude.
The pilgrimage was an insightful experience which ended off my time at Shrimath perfectly.
Definitely a place I would return to for further study.
Thank you for everything, I am forever changed.

Find Divine Order with The Gifts of Shrimath
Wholeheartedly recommend Shrimath as the Ashram in which each moment is the manifestation of Here and Now. The holy place in which you can relax and just be All the needs are taken care here with pure love and all-pervading peace.
Sharing my gratitude to Krishnaji and the entire Shrimath Team: Smriti, Shoba and Kamal. Thank you for founding and maintaining beautifully this heaven-in-earth place, where Oneness is vibrating alive. Thank you for your presence, open hearts, kindness, wisdom, passion, dedication, contribution and professionalism

Experience of 27 days stay for the 200hrs Yoga Teacher Training Course is much beyond what one can grasp by any of name and form.

It’s worth spreading the message across the globe that there is a such divine place as Shrimath - which is accessible, available, and ready to host you in a loving, caring family atmosphere.

Unique due to several reasons:

I could be seen, heard, and felt. I could relate my spiritual experiences to Indic Knowledge, receive the perfect, correct wording to it and find the way to communicate it, to find the bridge which I needed. I understood how to operate between the invisible and the visible in our transactional life, which helped me to integrate it into a balanced body-mind-soul living

Appreciate the process of learning:
- Small batches and individual approach, totally customized to the needs
- Transfer of knowledge is a satsang, each class is a bliss, insightful experience, eye-opener and one can soak up the Knowledge in own perfect timing
- Receiving the Knowledge through the Teacher who received his Knowledge from his Master and like that this transfer was done by decades in a traditional way
- You’ll be served by customized guidance and dedicated practice given
- "What is right"- directs actions here, one can see it and learn to differentiate it in daily life
- Classes are held mainly in nature (depending on the weather).

Thankful for accommodation:
- You live in an Ashram, organized in the Gurukula way; one can feel divine energy and blessings here
- Beautiful environment, closeness to the abundance of nature, simple living is gracefully enabling transformation process
- One can experience a day rhythm in which there is a right time for every action and non-action
- You’ll receive healthy, nourishing, delicious, and homemade food, high-quality pure water
- Separate room with a bathroom, warm water & all needed commodities.

Here, I found much beyond what I was even dreaming of.

I genuinely believe one comes here by God’s Grace and Invitation, once ready to receive the Gifts given trough the Teacher, Team, and this Sacred place Itself

And for those planning to come alone from outside of India -> yes, this is fully trusted, safe place. I was a single women traveling from Poland, for the first time in India. Mr. Uday - Shrimath's trusted driver, picked me up from Bangalore airport, he made my day with his welcome, kindness, and safe drive (thank you). Whenever we traveled outside Gurukula- like visiting Holy places - Krishnaji cared of the highest quality of transportation, food & accommodation.

I wish you to experience the Gifts of Shrimath residantially

Thank you Shrimath for all I know and don't know

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu

Shrimath is a place of great people…it’s a different energy…just experience with that belief.

Excellent and holistic approach to overall wellness - mind, body, and soul is what you get to experience at Shrimath. Those who get a chance to study here are truly blessed!

Best place to learn yoga.
Yoga training+ Spirituality + knowing Indian culture and Customs = Shrimath Yoga

I attended an online session with yogacharya Krishna Prakash. It was a pleasure to listen to his simple description of what yoga is all about and how taking care of ourselves through yogasanas helps our bodies in the long run. The exercises he taught were simple and easy to follow. Thank you for the session today!

At CloudifyOps, on account of the International Yoga Day, we had a wonderful session from Mr. Krishna Prakash explaining the simple fact of how to watch your body and mind.
He made it look so simple, but the value behind it was incredible!

On this busy day, we are thankful that he pulled out an hour of his precious time to address our team and speak about Yoga, simple stretches, breathing exercises, healthy living and culminated with Yoga Nidra.

He made us realise how important it is to know our own body! We learn about everything around us, but how often do we invest time on this vehicle of ours which will carry us all life?

Krishna ji has immense knowledge on Yoga, the ancient ways & teachings and has a simple or Saral way to communicate with the seekers, Shrimath is a must visit place. Wishing Krishna ji and team many more laurels

My experiences at Shrimath Yoga, reminded me about traditional ways of living and took me right back to grassroots. I was humbled from my learnings about life and simple living. To appreciate the basic needs of being a human being. I experienced a level of spiritual maturity and was reminded of the need to be good, kind, caring and to do the right thing for all always and regardless of circumstances. It made me rethink my current, somewhat western way of life and question the purpose of my life so that I follow the correct path and focus on serving my fellow mankind in need. The more I was at Shrimath, the more I needed to be there, it was so enriching to my soul. Teachings from my yoga Guru, Krishna Prakash were realistically explained relative to one's own way of living and goes beyond just asana postures and poses, pranayama, to profound theory about yoga, its roots and numerous related topics that magnetised my attention daily. My heart-felt profound appreciation and thanks to the Shrimath Yoga family for my whole experience whilst at Shrimath Yoga and my lifelong journey ever since with all the online training and courses I've attended and continue to be a part of

Three weeks of bliss
I was blissfully unaware of the speed at which the three weeks at Shrimath Yoga passed by for the teacher training course in September 2016. Located in tranquil and idyllic surroundings, the living quarters are neat, the food healthy and wholesome, the staff kind and considerate and the Yoga course a wonderful life-changing experience. Especially enjoyed the time with the small kids in the village school and the gardening work! After the course, I have taken to my yoga practice with renewed vigor, and look forward to spreading the joy and happiness I have experienced through yoga to people in Japan after I return. Full marks to Krishna, Hema, Vanitha, Smruti and the other staff of Shrimath Yoga. I look forward to visiting you again some day!

From the depth of my heart I wish to express my highest recommendation. In fact I have two intentions here. First is to give an appropriate respect and thanks to my lifelong Master Krishna Prakash whose presence has made a large impact on who I am, where I am and how I am today. My second intention is to tell the reader that by interaction with Krishna Prakash you can gain all you have ever wanted for yourself, whatever it may be. You can gain that, and actually much more, as through the interaction you will find you can reach places you never knew existed.
You may ask- “All I have ever wanted? How? ”
I was close to answer that question. But the truth is that it is 8th year of my journey with Shrimath Yoga and I keep wondering “How is he doing it? ! How is he doing it to me? That he awakens and sparkles my deepest heart desires. And on the other side how I come to all the answers and discoveries without even need of discussing it.
I wonder if that is due the level of consciousness, grace and prayer or rather by this trait of him being “Walking Life-Encyclopedia” (that I allow myself jokingly yet with full respect to call him). With all the seriousness now, when you listen to him you know you can only pray to grasp anything you are able to catch. You know you interact with a superpower mind that spins at least 10times faster than yours yet is at total flow and peace. I have never met someone like that and each course with him, each day I am more impressed of a Source of Knowledge that he is. The best part is, that under his Excellence you find a humble, simple, how he calls it ”normal” man, benevolently sharing all the tools, practices, and principles that got him to this place. He is a man of balance. Role modeling for us hard work and massive action with a faith and dedication to the Surrendering.
I met Krishna Prakash July 19th, 2014. This day changed my life forever. It changed the way I experience life for much lighter and happier. I am living fully and peacefully the life of quality, purpose, clarity, value and meaning.
I share that, as Krishna’s presence is one of the greatest blessings I received in this life and I wish that to All.
With Love

This down to earth and real yoga school will start you on the path of self discovery and mastery. Krishna makes the lessons easily accessible for the participants and his team that supports Shrimath Yoga School provide for a life changing experience. The first step is always the hardest. Be Brave Be Daring Discover you!

Shrimath Yoga School has been a truly incredible experience. I learned so much more than I have expected. I learn and lived the yoga lifestyle and got in-depth insight from this school rather than just a normal asana practice. KP Sir and Hema are very knowledgeable and always ready to help and give whatever they can at any time. They share their way of life and mindset so generously, and always with an open heart. Each encounter has been a genuine one. This school will welcome you with its open arms, no matter on what stage of yoga or what stage of your life you are in. If you find yourself here in this place, you will feel that it was definitely meant a lot. The habitation here is very clean, nice, and comfortable. And the food is delicious, nutritious, and made with lots of love. I would highly recommend Shrimath Yoga school to the lovers of yoga who want to leant traditional way.

I have been to Shrimath twice, although the second time due to circumstances I couldn’t spend the time in Shrimath itself but I had wonderful experience in I-AIM healthcare center.

It’s been almost 10 years since I first went to Shrimath and I would recommend the place to anyone who wish to learn authentic way of yoga.

I would love to return one day.

Here’s the first thoughts after spending month in Shrimath -

There is no other words than LOVE to describe Shrimath! When I entered Shrimath first time i already felt like home, the atmosphere is incredible! Love from Krishna`s teachings, the knowledge what we received was fulfilled with Love! Smrithi`s food was an art, full of positive energy, We were like a batteries and Smrithi was our charger! Hema - she is an angel in Shrimath! Her smile will always stay in my memory! She is a master of yoga processes and she will give You the best you can ever get! Daily classes in local village school with kids lifted me up every day, more than twenty Souls were waiting for us every morning, we had fun time together! It is like a circle - circle of Love - what comes around goes around and Love is there from Above, from Them, within yourself and around you. Thank you for everything!

Studying Yoga from a knowledgeable and learned teacher like Krishna Sir has been an immense blessing. Thanks to him Yoga has become ingrained in my life. The beauty of Shrimath is that the traditional methods of practice are passed on us students, making our learning wholesome.
Tucked away from the city - the location, clean air, plethora of flora, sound of peacocks and other birds, nourishing food, and the care given to us during our stay made my experience more enriching.
I am truly grateful.

Krishna Prakash and the dedicated team at Shrimath Yoga provide exemplary guidance in Indic systems and yogic principles. I have personally benefited from the teachings related to Yoga, Vedanta and Tantra. The philosophies and practices have brought a different perspective in dealing with my thoughts, both in personal and professional lives. Strongly recommend enrolling in the courses offered by Shrimath Yoga, both in person and online.

I chose Shrimath yoga to do the YAI 200 hours teacher training, primarily for my own learning as a yoga novice. I chose this program because of the opportunity to teach in a local school.

The team are knowledgeable, attentive and approachable. The teaching is structured, easy to follow and provokes intellectual thought, humility and respect for the tradition of yoga.
The course itself is comprehensively structured and manageable. The grounds are beautiful and are a perfect setting to encourage reconnection with ones inner self. The meals were tasty and nutritious (if you like chilli spice), the rooms basic and clean.

There is opportunity to go on a spiritual pilgrimage also and perform 'kriya' - the cleansing practices of yoga.

I arrived as a complete beginner, but after three weeks of training and practice I can now say that I feel confident in my own practice and understanding of yoga and meditation thanks to the team at Shrimath. My body feels stronger, lighter and more flexible. But above all, I came home feeling more at peace - with a sense that I had experienced something personally profound and special in rural Bengaluru.

I live in Amsterdam, Netherlands. With 2020 being a virtual world quite literally I was looking for nice yoga schools in India that were offering online courses. That is how I stumbled upon Shrimath. I contacted Mr. Krishna in Oct 2020 when Netherlands was entering its 3rd strict lockdown phase due to the Coronavirus. I believe that was the best decision of my life. 3 of my colleagues were also interested to join the course. Even before we started, Mr. Krishna was kind enough to give us a 1 hr.introduction session where he shared knowledge around the Yoga Foundation Course. What can we expect out of the course etc. That was fantastic.
Coming to the Yoga Foundation Course itself, it was brilliant and done with utmost professionalism & kindness. Full Marks to Mrs. Smrithi Krishna & Shobha for the asana & mudra classes that were taught to us daily. Mrs. Hema Balan for the nice, soothing and calming pranayama & yoga Nidra classes & ultimately Mr. Krishna for the Darshana classes. This course changed our way of life. We understood what Yoga truly means and no longer see it as Yoga = Asana. Asana is just one limb of yoga that has it’s own importance. But true Yoga is truly a way of leading one’s life. I am truly very indebted to team Shrimath for guiding us during these turbulent COVID times. I believe it’s our own doing/karma that we stumbled upon Shrimath. Consider yourself very fortunate & lucky if you get to learn the true traditional meaning of Yoga from team Shrimath. If you are in India, and want to learn Yoga from the bottom of your heart, definitely go for their residential courses. If you are outside India, then once COVID situation improves and life returns to some form of normalcy in terms of International travels, do undertake a residential course in Shrimath. My colleagues in Amsterdam & I plan to visit Shrimath Yoga Institute in Bangalore post COVID and continue our learnings there.
It took me a while to write this review unfortunately. However today being the last day of a turbulent year that will go down in history, I was reflecting on the things I am grateful for in 2020. The Yoga Foundation Course by Shrimath topped the list. I am so happy that I found Shrimath. I wish the team all the best for 2021. Lots of love & regards always. Paro

When you want embark on life's inner journey, it should be with Shrimath Yoga. The founder Krishna Prakash has immense knowledge about Living Traditions. Students from over 40 countries have benefitted.

I have enrolled for yoga trainer course, and i have learnt a lot during these sessions.infact i at times feel sad when the course is coming to an end. The enlightenment and self awareness is an awesome experience by itself.one has to go through this and its un explainable

Shrimath's experience is one of a kind. It's not just learning; it's a journey within! Krishna and Smriti are amazing gurus.

I have been an Ashtanga Yoga practitioner since 2008. But that was something that I did as a routine. A rather inconsistent routine. But I knew I loved practicing asanas. I loved the way my body felt after every practice. But I was never particularly inclined towards Pranayama. It wouldn't be wrong to say that I hadn't developed stability to practice Pranayama. I had always been confused about which career path to take.
It was in early 2019 that I decided that I wanted to be a yoga teacher. Full time. I trained under my guru Prahalad Kulkarni. I felt confident. Asana wise. I was able to do Pranayama for longer durations now, but I knew I needed more practice and orientation.
Also, I needed a certificate from a reputed institute. I checked out a few places at mysore. But the options were too many. I felt confused. The fees at all these institutions were on the higher end for me, a middle class, non working Indian. If I was going to pay that much, I wanted it to be worth it.
That's when I contacted Mr Arun Seetharaman, from Transdisciplinary University. Without a moment of hesitation, he suggested Shrimath. I trusted his word and enrolled myself for the 200 + the 500 hrs program.
And I'm definitely glad I did. I completed the course in December 2019 and I'm more confident about my career choice. Thanks to Shrimath.
At Shrimath, you are guaranteed a holistic approach to yoga, covering the 8 limbs of it. If you are looking for a place to learn asanas, this may not be the one for you. But if you're looking for a place to understand yoga, and why your body and mind needs it, this is definitely the place. Meditation, yoga nidra and theory classes are meaningful and in depth. If you are serious about learning the real meaning of Yoga, come to Shrimath. You will not be disappointed.

Authentic experience in a "gurukula" style ashram to nurture your mind, body and soul. I completed my 200 hr Yoga Teacher training here and the experience was amazing. Friendly, caring and knowledgeable team offering Yoga alliance certified training and authentic ashram style experience. Best place to cleanse your mind, body and soul through Yoga, amazing Ayurvedic food, volunteering at the local school, gardening and learning sessions. In a rural setting with easy access by local trains.yet you are just a hour and a half's drive from Bangalore city center. One must visit for once in a life time experience and I am already looking forward to my next stay here! I have visited and stayed here twice and will continue to find time to visit whenever I am in India.

For me life was rippling along and then a sudden storm of change showed up and disrupted what little serenity I had left. Old enemies I thought were defeated like fear and insecurity returned, throwing me off kilter. My mind frantically tried to find a solution to fix the issues, the challenges, and the perceived problem, adding to my internal chaos.

How do we stay calm, cool, and collected when we find the world around us has become chaotic and out of control? How do we learn to stare down any situation with inner peace and an ability to remain tranquil?

One of the first things we can do when attempting to navigate a bumpy crossroads is build an inner place of peace. Taking time to cultivate a practice of quiet and learning to sit still for long enough to feel a sense of sacred space within.

I found that step by step practice and the time to cement it into a daily routine at Shrimath. The knowledge acquired here changed dramatically how I operate in the world. I am eternally grateful for the knowledgeable staff, great food and Peaceful atmosphere. I would highly recommend Shrimath for anyone interested in furthering thier journey of self discovery

Thank you to @⁨Krishna Prakash⁩ for inviting us Shrimath yoga. It was an absolutely calming & meditative 2 days. It was great interacting with the students as well. The focus Krishna brings to the core and fundamentals of yoga is to be appreciated. Refreshing in this day & age and highly recommended for people undergoing transitions in life. We look forward to co-creating, curating programs with Shrimath.

I’ve been in Shrimath in September/2015 for 21 days.
Shrimath is the perfect place to the ones that sometimes feel unsatisfied with their lives. For me it was as I had pressed the ‘pause’ button and entered in a new dimension, a new reality. Krishna, Hemma, Smriti, all the team and the entire space taught me much more than postures and breathing techniques. They also gave me lessons of humility, detachment and faith. I came back to my life with a profound feeling of gratitude to all I have, to my family, friends and my sweet problems. I brought a bag full of tools to better deal with the daily frustrations, fears and bad feelings. I brought a heart full of hope.
You won’t find luxury at Shrimath.
Instead, you will find people that will cook separated meals for you if you need, you will find people that will look at you as an individual in the group and will teach you according your ability or mental predisposition to learn, you will definitely have laughs and amazing moments of pure fun.
I recommend Shrimath to everyone who wants to learn about Yoga but specially about her/himself.

I took a career break and was looking for a "reboot", so to speak. I attended the 7+21 days program in March 2017 and Shrimath delivered beyond expectations. It was a life changing experience.

First, Krishna has infinite depth when it comes to yoga history and tradition. I only had experiences with postures previously so it was enlightening to be part of the living tradition. At times it feels like drinking from a fire hose with the amount of information but I know I will be digesting that information for months (or longer) to come. I learned meditation and mantras as well and it seems like I am finally able to start calming my mind. My own spiritual journey started mostly with western techniques and Krishna was very knowledgeable and patient to help me reconcile with yoga. The spiritual trips Krishna organized were epic.

Hema is the perfect asanas teacher who always managed to push me a little bit harder than I thought possible but never too hard. Before attending Shrimath, I thought yoga postures were primarily for flexibility but after the program, I understand that with consistent and correct practice, postures are also great for strength and body tone. We learned advanced breathing and awareness techniques that I feel will provide lifetime benefits.

Smrithi's food is wonderful and made me realize vegetarian food can be completely satisfying. I have maintained a vegetarian diet since attending the program.

Volunteering with the local school was a delightful experience and I think I learned more from the children than they did from me. It has definitely helped me reach into the "inner child" more and also reflect more into my own consumption habits as the children do so much with so little.

The rest of the Shrimath staff were wonderful as well. It was lovely to know Shoba, Kumar, etc.and each imparted their own unique impressions and wisdoms.

The campus is tranquil, safe, and complete. Much of what we ate were grown right there and the two baby peacocks always brought smiles. We lived in a way that connected us to Mother Earth and I will forever benefit from those experiences.

Lastly, my classmates were awesome. I feel like I have made lifetime friends with each and every one and I look forward to seeing them again in the future.

Actually, just writing this review itself has brought some inner calm. I would absolutely attend Shrimath again.

I've had the privilege of staying at Shrimath for the 21 day yoga course. I wanted to study yoga in India as I wanted to experience yoga within its cultural context and get the 'real deal', so to speak. I didn't really know what the real deal was, but I figured that India would have it. Shrimath exceeded my expectations as I found myself on a rather transformative inner and outer journey. It's a really peaceful spot. Everyone there is super nice and I love the easy smiles and chilled way. But that's the free time. When it's class time, it will demand your full attention to your body, breathing and mind. Full immersion, feeling the tradition pulse through you, experience the changes in your being, and sleep like a newborn baby. I had a lot of questions at the beginning. But as the program progresed, I gave up trying to grasp with with my mind and instead let the wisdom soak into my bones. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, or a more beautiful way to fall in love with yoga. It has become a way of life and modus operandi. I'd like to again thank Krishna for all the hard work behind the scenes to make this place possible and to Smirti for all the delicious food, and to Hema who commanded full dedication in the asana classes and to everyone else who worked around the place. It's been great to learn from great role models and am appreciative that my fate swung me through those gates. Thank you for a life experience I will never forget!

Shrimath is a very special place and one I would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn more about yoga (and life) in a truly authentic way. Contacting them just weeks before my trip to India, Krishna and Smrithi kindly welcomed me to join in all the classes taking place as part of the 200 hours course during my 5 day stay. I will be forever grateful.

Though only there for a short time the full daily schedule made for such an enriching experience and I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from such wonderfully inspiring teachers and fellow students.

The accommodation is clean and comfortable set in a beautiful garden - the flowers, birdsong, sunrises and sunsets are all an absolute treat! The food is delicious and plentiful! And it was a privilege to meet some of the local people and work with the children at the school. Just an amazing experience all round and I really hope to return one day.and stay longer next time!

If you get the chance to go to Shrimath (even just for a short while - they offer ‘Tiny Experiences’ for those wishing a shorter stay) go for it.it’s definitely worth a visit!

Met Krishnaji and his wonderful team at Shrimath Yoga last week. The place is something else really. Kudos to them for reinventing the Vedic learning system for Yoga (Ashram lifestyle). Healthy food, awesome nature and divine experience during yoga learning and practice sessions. Thanks a lot Krishna ji once again.

One of the best places to learn art of Meditation, Yoga and spiritual knowledge. I would recommend Shrimath Yoga for all the people who having stress and mental block, to give their mind, body a chance to revive itself.

One of the top Yoga schools in India. Much sought after by foreigners for its curriculum and sincere support. Tariff common to foreign and Indian students as well. Located in Bangalore, known for its cool weather round the year, Srimath Yoga offers several courses. Sessions conducted with minimum number of students only for close monitoring and guiding. Check availability. One can browse reviwes written by its students. They have a tie up with Annamalai University for yoga studies.

Three years ago my teacher training at Shrimath changed my life for the positive. I integrate teachings from Krishna, Smithri, and Hema into my personal and professional daily habits. It inspires my yoga teaching too. Shrimath will always be a part of me and I am eternally grateful. I highly recommend Shrimath Yoga!

I have attended a short course at Shrimath Yoga. I am very thankful to Krishna ji for providing great insight on different aspects of spirituality and Yoga. These few days were real stress buster and to add to that the place is also perfect for yogic practices. I definitely would like to visit again and reccomend to others.

I do not recommend you to go to the Shrimath Yoga school. I went there couple of months ago and didn’t enjoy it at all.

The teaching and the atmosphere in Shrimath Yoga weren’t good. The director's name is “Krishna Prakash ji”. When I first met him, he appeared to be nice, but then, he turned out to be a very rude and nasty teacher. He used to glare at me with a hate stare and he gave me dirty looks, almost everyday. He had a very negative opinion about women and he did not believe in women's rights. At times, I felt as if he wanted to sexually abuse me but, fortunately, he did not manage to do so. I reported his sexist behavior to the Policemen in the local village and they seemed to listen to me, but no action was carried out against him.

I wanted to get spiritual enlightenment and I all I found in the Shrimath school was profound darkness. I feel very hurt and it’s difficult for me to continue writing, as there are still tears in my eyes. Krishna Prakash ji will probably defend himself, saying that what is being told here isn’t true, but I can provide evidence regarding everything that happened, during my stay in this Yoga school, to whomever is reading this.

Please do listen to me, brothers and sisters - my plea to you is that you don’t attend the Shrimath Yoga School, or otherwise you will repent, as much as I did.

Shrimath Yoga was my first experience of India and of yoga in its pure and traditional form - I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Before you sign up, I suggest you take note of the following:
This experience is NOT for you if you expect a luxurious retreat with some cocktails thrown in - you are committing to full time study, vegetarianism, celibacy and village life.

All 8 limbs of yoga are covered, along with yoga nidra, karma yoga, bhakti yoga, mantras, mudras and kriya. Anyone hoping to do "yoga gymnastics" exclusively had better look elsewhere.

Upon completion of the course, I feel confident that I have a good understanding of the principles and processes of Hatha Yoga, a solid basis to deepen my personal practice both physically and spiritually, and the ability to convey this knowledge in the teaching of students.

I leave Shrimath Yoga with nothing but gratitude and praise for Krishna and his team.
He went out of his way to make sure everybody was taken care of above and beyond his duty - nursing a colleague who arrived injured and assisting us with travelling arrangements.
Personally, at times I found the diet to be very carb heavy, but delicious nonetheless.

The end of the course culminated in a visit to Shringeri - unforgettable.

This experience has been life changing, humbling and eye opening.

Thanks Krishna and Shrimath Yoga, this will definitely not be my last visit.
Highly recommended.
