I’m incredibly grateful to have begun my yoga journey with such wonderful teachers. The studio itself is a beautiful space, and the instructors are not only knowledgeable but also patient, polite, and genuinely kind. They pay close attention to proper alignment and make sure each student feels supported. As a beginner, I never felt overwhelmed, only comfortable and encouraged. They go above and beyond to accommodate individual needs, and even now, I continue taking online classes with Prateek ji from abroad. Thank you for creating such a warm, welcoming, and inspiring community. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking to begin or deepen their yoga practice.

Surakshya and Prateek are the best yoga teachers in Kathmandu! I have learned and improved a lot with them. Their Ashtanga yoga lessons are very good and professional, and the space is beautiful. They offer morning and afternoon yoga lessons every weekday, and they teach with a lot of dedication, care and passion. They love yoga, and they make you love it even more! Really grateful to both of them 🫶🏼✨ Balkrishna ThamiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
