I took my YTTC 200 hrs with Hari in March 2018, and I absolutely loved it. Everything was perfect – accommodation, teachers, programme, love and care, beautiful beach… Everything! My mum and her husband also took the YTTC together with me and it was great for them too. We are already planning to come back for the 300 hrs! 😉 Thank you so much Hari, see you again soon!

Florian Schierlinger

Thank you deeply from my heart! The first thing you will learn here is to breathe. I thought I was breathing ok, but I received so much when I learned how to breath properly. It was like a rebirth. This yoga teacher training course is the beginning of a new life. I thank all of our teachers. They were so wonderful. Hari is just amazing and I adored his back massage with his feet! I also discovered ashtanga yoga – a nice discovery. So, go for this training. You will definitely make the right choice. Namaste.

Very good experience. I feel like I have learned a huge amount in a very short period of time. I’ve pushed myself out of my comfort zone and really grew from it. It is a fantastic opportunity to look within myself with a supportive group of people. I would 100% recommend this teacher training.
Jana Bartlett
200 Hour YTTC Student
Beautiful and authentic Yoga school!
Hariji and his team of amazing teachers took care of every student, they are very passionate and experienced about what they teach and approachable for questions and conversations.
On my 200 hour multistyle TTC I learned a lot about alignment, therapeutic teaching techniques, spiritual philosophy, anatomy and how much more there is to learn!
The location in Gokarna is a very peaceful, quiet jungle setting with simple, clean huts and lots of nature around, monkeys climbing in the trees and only 2 minutes away from the beach.
The local team of cooks and housekeepers took great care of us, the food was delicious and healthy.
Thank you for this special experience, I am inspired! Hope to be back!

My experience at Shree Hari Yoga school was beyond any expectation! The teachers are amazing, kind, and knowledgeable. The place, Kudle Beach, is a paradise on Earth. The accommodation is perfect. Nice, small huts with shower and a relaxing view. The program was very intense with a lot of theoretical and practical information, and great guidance on all aspects of the yoga path. Asanas, pranayama, meditation, art of teaching, philosophy, and anatomy. I absolutely loved this yoga teacher training and I will definitely be back to Shree Hari Yoga school in the future. Thank you Hari <3
