How To Pay Samadhi Yoga Ashram

The first thing you should know about Samadhi Yoga Ashram is that it goes by several names. So if you’re like me and you spend hours or days researching and comparing different yoga schools, you may be surprised to find that they are actually all under one roof. The three that are connected are Samadhi Yoga Ashram, World Peace Yoga School, and Kundalini Yoga Ashram. So if you’re looking for a kundalini specific program, you’ll likely end up here. So whichever school you choose, you will still be in the same building studing the same curriculum with the same people who booked with other schools. I just wanted to make that clear so there’s no confusion. Whichever path you take to get here, it’s definitely worth it! The second thing you should know is, I highly recommend you bring your cash with you to pay for the balance of your tuition when you arrive. I thought I could just come and use ATMs but I was sadly mistaken. Most of the time you can only get up to $100 US per day from an ATM. The second thing to note is that most of the ATMs run out of cash before you can even get money out. The other option is to take money out down the street at a jewelry store that was actually very legit and safe, but they do charge extra fees from 5% to 12%. If you want to pay with your card at the ashram you’ll have to pay an additional 18% on top of your balance of your tuition. This proved to be a very difficult part of the stay and I would definitely recommend making it easy for yourself and bringing your money with you. It really should not have been as hard as it was, is but it is what is it. Now onto the fun stuff! The team here is really amazing! The teachers are first class! They’re very intelligent and I feel like I was learning from some of the top people in the industry! There were times when I felt like I was in college level classes. The team here and the teachers really cannot be compared to anything else. You will not get this type of experience doing a destination style yoga teacher training or online course. These people are teaching year-round and they know their stuff. Some of these teachers have doctorate degrees. Everybody that took the classes were very impressed and felt we got so much value for what we paid to be here. Most of us never wanted to leave! Also living the Ashram experience, is an experience all of it’s own! It’s kind of like living in a hippie commune on a college campus. That’s the best way I can describe! You eat together, you sleep at the same time, you take your classes together, and you become very bonded with your classmates. Honestly that part of the experience was one of the best parts! Even the difficulties added to the experience. You may not have hot water all the time, electricity goes off often, and it was very cold when I was here, but I wouldn’t trade anything for the experience I had! Every hardship was worth it in the end. This experience was very transformative for me. I came here for two months and did the 200 and 300 hour Kundalini courses and I booked with Samadhi Yoga Ashram. I would highly recommend coming here for your yoga teacher training. You’ll get more than you bargained for and you'll come back home as a different person! You can’t beat the value for this experience! Highly recommended!

I truly love my stay in Samadhi Yoga Ashram. It was a life time transfomational experience for me and The best school of life, wisdom, love I have attended in my life. I came for YTTC Kundalini Yoga training with 200 hours looking to find where my path was guiding me. After I have completed one month of training, I knew my direction and have decided to stay and continue with YTTC 300 hours of Kundalini Yoga training. The training itself is absolutely transformational and amazingly enriching with morning Sadhana with Guruji Vishnu, Kundalini kriyas,Hatha yoga,Mantras, etc.. The quality, the knowledge, the experience, the disposition and the care of all the teachers were exceptional. The life wisdom, strength, the love of Guruji Vushnu were blessing. We were leaded by having them as example of what is to be so wise and in the same time so humble, so loving, so simple and so strong. You simply feel accepted, supported, empowered and loved the way you are. The group I stay with were such a loving people, with the same vibes of kindness between us, positive mind, shared values.., just as true friends and family. The food was great. There was cleanliness, variety, organization. The staff in the dining area were gorgeous and accommodating, and the staff in the rest of the Ashram were gentle, understanding, meeting your request if there was any in the closest for you way. We celebrated all together - teachers, students, and the rest of the people in the Ashram as family. We spent time together in a spiritual practices and in festive celebrations. Ashram is positioned in a central( with shops and restaurants area) ,but calm and queit area surrounded by Himalayas and Ghanga river. The landscapes are stunning and you feel the power of the energy. I am deeply grateful to the Universe,to Guruji Vishnu, to all my teachers and my friends there for been part of that journey together.

I chose back Samadhi Yoga School to complete the 500 YTT because I felt I could truly immerse myself in the true and authentic Himalayan yogi tradition. I experienced a wonderful journey of personal development and self discovery that is never going to stop. My personal experience at the school has been completely fulfilling, and even though I was miles away from the teachers and colleagues the community created has made me feel part of the family. I truly recommend studying with Vishnu ji to get a deeper understanding of the true traditions and the techniques that every yogi and yogini should get access to. The teachings come from real love and understanding of the philosophy of yoga. Your life will change when attending a course with them. Shanti, shanti, shanti

I came to Samadhi Yoga Ashram searching for peace and deeper meaning in my practice—and I found so much more. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and kind, blending traditional yogic wisdom with practical application. The location near the Ganga is serene, and the daily routine was grounding. I now feel confident teaching yoga and living more mindfully. Highly recommended for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual path.

The 300-hour TTC at Samadhi Yoga Ashram was intense in the best way possible. The depth of the philosophy, pranayama, and meditation sessions really pushed me beyond the physical. It’s a full immersion into the yogic lifestyle, supported by a warm and knowledgeable staff. Rishikesh itself is a spiritual haven, and the ashram environment made it easy to stay focused. I'm grateful for the personal transformation this training offered.

I had some hesitation traveling to India alone, but from the moment I arrived, the staff at Samadhi Yoga Ashram made me feel like family. The course content was rich and well-structured, with great emphasis on philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology. I especially loved the morning meditations and evening kirtans. I leave not only with a certification, but with a more open heart and calm mind.

Completing the 500-hour TTC was one of the most physically and mentally demanding things I’ve ever done—but also the most fulfilling. The curriculum is rigorous, and the teachers expect full dedication, but they are compassionate and supportive every step of the way. Samadhi Yoga Ashram has a beautiful balance of discipline and community. I’m going home not only as a certified yoga teacher, but as a more grounded human being.
