I've found my sanctuary at this yoga studio

Feel blessed I had the chance to attend Navadurga YTTC. It’s a tough intense and challenging experience that changes life for the better. In Navadurga I had the precious opportunity to study philosophy, meditation and adjustments from well prepared and professional teacher. But most of all I had the chance to practice yoga with a true yogi that considers yoga a path towards samadhi.

Viviana Bertu, 26 years

This is the best yoga studio ever!

Incredible experience to dive into the Yoga, Indian culture and unique spiritual atmosphere of ancient Varkala. Highly recommend to start your way as a yoga teacher. Still miss my Indian Home, tasty food of Indian Mother and beautiful nature with the sound of ocean during your sleep at night 🙏 Very professional teachers and deep attitude to everything what they are doing. I was really lucky to find this place and such people!

Oleksandra Melanich, 28 years

Friendly yoga instructor and staff!

I stayed at Navadurga Yoga School for a couple of weeks in November 2022. I felt most welcome by the team and family in this nature surrounded place with best home-made food. My goal was to get back to a daily Yoga & Pranayama routine and to deepen my practice. With the support of Shibin, yoga teacher and founder of the school, I achieved a wonderful pranayama technique and felt the big benefit of a daily discipline.

Carmen Gerner, 26 years

The most peaceful yoga studio on earth

I completed my 200 hour ttc at Navadurga and it was a beautiful experience. The school is located in a perfect location near the beach, the temple and various cafes. The studio on the roof overlooks the trees creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Its the perfect place to experience, yoga, nature and Varkala’s community.

Wonderful, small authentic place to dive deeper into yoga!! Great local food cooked with love by the mum!! In my case it was a really intimate atmosphere as we were three people doing the TTC together which was absolutely amazing for the learning experience!!! Overall, it was an amazing and exhausting journey and just the first step into the power of yoga! The teachers are great and all of the people involved listen to your needs!
