I miss so much Kamal's classes. I thinl i would never meet a teacher and person like him. I was attending presential Kamal classes in Tapovan (Rishikesh) last year and I can confidently say that his classes are a perfect blend of physical challenge and mental relaxation, making each session a truly holistic experience. His instructions are clear and precise, ensuring that you can follow along comfortably and safely. One of the aspects I appreciate most is his attention to alignment and technique, having a wide understanding of body anatomy. Personally, he is one in a million person. His genuine passion for yoga, teaching and helping people are truly inspiring. I am grateful to have meet him, as a Yoga Instructor, and above, as a person. Always thank you Kamal ¡Gracias! We keep in touch🙏🧡 ~ maria b
I recently attended a 7-day yoga retreat and it was truly an incredible experience. Everything about it exceeded my expectations. The instructors were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely supportive and attentive. They took the time to explain techniques in depth, always making sure I felt comfortable and confident, no matter my level of experience. Throughout the week, I felt myself growing—both physically and mentally. The classes were well-structured, balancing challenge and relaxation perfectly. Beyond the yoga sessions, there was a wonderful sense of community and connection with everyone there. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to deepen their practice, learn from amazing teachers, and enjoy a week of self-care and growth. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and grateful. ~ German P
I recently completed a 5-day yoga retreat and it was a truly rejuvenating experience. The sessions were well-structured, combining asanas, pranayama, and meditation in a balanced way that left me feeling refreshed and grounded each day. The teachers were knowledgeable, supportive, and created a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere that made it easy to immerse myself in the practice. One of the highlights for me was the food – the sattvic meals were not only nourishing but also incredibly delicious. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared and aligned perfectly with the retreat’s focus on holistic well-being. The serene setting, away from daily distractions, allowed me to reconnect with myself and find much-needed clarity and calm. Highly recommended for anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and enjoy a few days of mindful living. ~ YOGITA S
It was such a pleasure to go to Kamals classes at the Rishikesh Yoga Valley. Very thankful to have met him! I had already finished my 200h TTC at some other place, but with him I improved my alignment very much. Things started to 'click'. The adjustments he did could be minor, but made a big difference for me. I appreciated the consistency in the adjustments too, since I could feel that my body had incorporated it in the poses after a few days. His instructions always felt on point for my body. So detailed. It was challenging in a very good way. I loved going to his classes! Next to this Kamal is a very kind, calm, disciplined and passionate man. It was lovely to get to know him a little over time too. On the photo you see me making roti after practice. I can say that he masters those too! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kamal. I hope you can meet him! ~ Linde W
I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Rishikesh Yoga Valley, and it was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The curriculum is perfectly balanced with asanas, pranayama, anatomy, alignment, philosophy, and teaching methodology. The teachers are true masters—supportive, knowledgeable, and passionate. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the sattvic meals were delicious. What I loved most was the positive energy and the personal attention given to each student. I feel confident and fully prepared to start teaching. Highly recommended for anyone serious about deepening their practice or becoming a yoga teacher. ~ saakshi j
I have been attending Kamal's yoga classes for almost an year, and I can confidently say that he is a exceptional yoga instructor. From the very first session, it was clear that Kamal possesses a deep understanding of yoga, both in practice and philosophy. One of the things I appreciate most about Kamal is his ability to cater to all levels. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, he ensures that everyone feels comfortable and supported in class. His instructions are always clear and easy to follow, and he takes the time to correct postures, ensuring that each student is getting the most out of their practice. If you are looking for a yoga trainer who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in your well-being, Kamal is the perfect choice. My experience with him has been transformative, and I am incredibly grateful to have found such a skilled and inspiring teacher. ~ Sandhya S
Kamal is an excellent teacher!! During the classes you will find his serious and perfectionist side...he is providing the purist form of Hatha Yoga, the real deal, the one that was tought before it got trivialised somehow.... Outside the classes, you will discover how Kamal Ji is a real Yogi, he is kind, generous, honest and will do whatever he can to help you...Yoga is his way of life, not a buissness, a very important quality now a day in Rihikesh, i totally trust him🙏 He is also a very cool and funny guy !!!!! I am looking foward to learn again from him, while, i will practice everyday the knowledge he dispensed me. I really recomend being his student. You won't regret it! ~ CaMiNo d
Dear teacher Kamal, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your work and dedication during our online 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course. The experience was not only educational but also transformative for me. Your ability to impart knowledge, support and inspire me throughout the course was invaluable. I appreciate your patience, attention to detail and deep understanding of yoga that you generously shared with me. Thanks to you, I not only improved my skills as a teacher but also deepened my understanding of yoga philosophy and its practical application in life. Each class was filled with wisdom and energy, and I felt myself growing and evolving. You created an environment of support and trust. Thank you for your passion for yoga and for inspiring others to follow this path. I look forward to applying what I have learned and sharing it with others. Sincerely 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ~ Татьяна С
I attended the 200 hour yoga TTC in Rishikesh, and it was one of the best experiences as it my first time in India. The accommodations were very nice and the meals were great. The morning yoga classes were tough and challenging especially Kamal ji's Hatha yog class which started at 6:30 am daily. All other instructors classes were amazing! My favorite was Hatha yog. I can’t say enough about Kamal Ji, as I found out that he was the best; he is very encouraging and inspiring and definitely set a good example of what the yoga lifestyle embodies. He comes in class with full force energy and was just amazing! I feel I have been provided with a wonderful foundation for teaching yoga. I hope to go back to Rishikesh and do Hatha Yoga sometimes again to complete the more advanced 300 hour instruction in the future! Thankyou so much Kamal Ji!!! You are the best!!! 🤩💕 ~ Sharmila D
Het was beide inspannend en ontspannend, een van onze beste ervaringen tijdens onze reis! ~ Sophie H
I recently completed then 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training course in Rishikesh India 🇮🇳 The support live teachers are totally brilliant 🤩 !! thank you so much to the team ! Amazing individual attention given by all the teachers and meditation especially good ! I found a love for Yoga Alignment and Hatha . I would ad though that Ashtanga is a favourite! Unfortunately the food is amazing so no that was a big issue that I had to overcome and test my boundaries. I found it just too good to pass up on . Thanks to Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh team . I will be back for 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh soon ~ Jason F
Ho avuto un’esperienza straordinaria da Rishikesh Yoga Valley. Lo staff era molto accogliente e gentile, gli insegnanti dimostravano disponibilità anche al di fuori delle loro lezioni. Le lezioni venivano svolte con professionalità e tanta attenzione ai bisogni ed esigenze personali di ogni partecipante. Il clima in generale era molto tranquillo e rilassato. Consiglio questa scuola per una vera immersione nel mondo dello yoga e come esperienza personale ~ Nora O
I know Kamal Negi since April 2017, when I made my Yoga teacher training in India, Rishikesh, the Capital of Yoga. I sow him doing his yoga practice on the beautiful Valley of the Ganga (Ganges) and I admired him and regarded him as a serious yoga teacher who is offering you yoga classes That are safe, sustainable and transformational. He is not only teaching you asanas but also provides clear guidance on haw to touch and explain the various options for hands-on assistance to provide greater alignment in the asanas. As yoga´s popularity grows we need our yoga teacher to mature as well and Kamal Negi give you a superb guidance for making smart, safe, clear asana adjustments that increase your understanding and deeper your experience of yoga. Rishikesh Yoga Valley is a healthy environment where you can practice yoga with confidence, and I give Kamal Negi my best recommendations Rita Anghel ~ Rita A
I just finished the 200hours- YTTC and I'm very happy to have chosen Rishikesh Yoga Valley. The precise alignment in the Hatha and Asthanga classes and the various possibilities of adjustment according to Iyengar Yoga helped me to improve my own practice a lot, but also made me confident that I can introduce Yoga in my work as Occupational Therapist back home. Also the new gained knowledge about Meditation and Ayurveda will definitely be useful in my daily life and work. As we were a small group, there was enough time and space for individual wishes and needs. I felt very comfortable, but also challenged - it was an intense month full of good energy, fun, new impressions - definitely fulfilled my expectations. Last but not the food was also really tasty and healthy - allways freshly cooked, with saisonal and regional veggies and fruits. All in all I warmly recommend Rishikesh Yoga Valley! A big Thank you to Kamal and all his great teachers!!🙏 ~ Elisabeth W
Hola desde España! I just left Rishikesh Yoga Valley and words can’t fully express how grateful I am. I did the 7 days retreat and add an extra one so 8 wonderful days filled with love, wisdom and laughter. What Kamal has created there was exactly what my soul needed — a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by kind-hearted people, incredibly healthy and delicious food, and inspiring yoga, Ayurveda, philosophy and breathing classes. I’ve learned so much from all of you and deeply enjoyed our adventures — from the treks and temple visits to our moments in the mountains. But above all, what I treasure the most is the companionship I found there. There’s something truly magical about Rishikesh and that magic was beautifully magnified in this retreat. I now feel like I have a second home, and I can’t wait to come back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! If you’re thinking about going to Rishikesh for a retreat or to deepen your yoga journey, I can’t recommend this place enough. Namaste. ~ Bely E
I had a really nice experience at this yoga school. I came here for a 100-hour retreat, and honestly the rooms, teachers, and facilities are all very good. During my stay, I was taught Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Yoga Philosophy, and Ayurveda Yoga. A special thanks to Neeraj Sir, who taught Ashtanga Yoga in a very clear and effective way, and Upendra Sir, whose Pranayama sessions were excellent and easy to understand. The people here are also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The facilities are well maintained, and the food was really nice and nourishing. One thing to keep in mind: if you are planning to come here, it’s better to opt for the 200-hour Yoga TTC, because the curriculum is the same for people coming for a short stay (like 10 days) and for those receiving a TTC certificate. Overall, it was a positive and enriching experience, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone serious about yoga practice. ~ Satya V

Working with Kamal Ji through the Mira Yogashala YTT program was a wonderful experience for me. Starting every morning with his Hatha yoga class was something I grew to love and appreciate as he consistently created a space filled with sacredness, discipline, and respect. The amount of detail and fluidness progressing to the full expression of each pose is something Kamal focuses on, allowing for growth every day. I have a new found relationship to Hatha yoga, and I believe this has much to do with his presence! Much love and gratitude to you Kamal Ji!! ~ Rachel P
I contacted Rishikesh Yoga Valley because I was interested in a yoga retreat in Rishikesh. I was quite sceptical about booking something in Rishikesh as the yoga is almost gentrified in the area and very much catering to western perceptions of yoga. Having booked the course, I can honestly say I'm so grateful for experiencing this authentic yoga retreat. Over the course of 5 days the classes where split between several very good, intellectual and interesting teachers. I gained a very good understanding and experienced yoga, asanas, pranayama breathing, meditation and philosophy. This course felt very authentic and close to what Yoga really is from my understanding. The course price is very fair, the food (thanks for catering for my vegan dietary requirements), teachers and management are absolutely great. It was very good to be able to communicate in English and ask anything to the teachers, they were all very helpful, caring and thoughtful in responses. I wish I could have stayed longer! ~ Sawan P
I just finished my 25 days yoga teacher training with Kamal and Julia and I had a wonderful experience! Kamal is a great yoga teacher with so many years of practice and a huge amount of knowledge about anything concerning yoga, e.g. how to eat an ayurvedic diet, live a yogic lifestyle etc. Also he has so many anecdotes and stories to tell about his family and his traditions which was so interesting and inspiring to me. During the yoga classes he has a special gift to bring out the best in you and show you what your body is capable of, paying a great attention to the proper alignment of your asanas. And then Julia was like the soul to this TTC putting so much love and detail to it. She also did creative art therapy/individual coaching classes which is very unique for a TTC and allowed me to deeply connect with myself, giving me insight on how to live this precious life to my fullest. I am so great full for everything I experienced in this month and can highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you again! Namaste ~ Isabel K
Life-Changing Experience at Rishikesh Yoga Valley! I cannot thank Rishikesh Yoga Valley enough specially KAMALJI for the incredible impact it has had on my health and well-being. I joined with the hope of finding some relief for my varicose veins and to lose some weight — and the results have been truly amazing. The yoga sessions here are thoughtfully designed, deeply healing, and led by knowledgeable instructors who genuinely care about every student. Within weeks, I noticed a significant reduction in the discomfort caused by my varicose veins. The poses and practices they guided me through helped improve my circulation, and I feel lighter, more flexible, and more energetic every day. Not only has this experience helped me manage a condition I’ve struggled with for years, but I’m also steadily losing weight and gaining a stronger connection to my body and mind. If you’re looking for authentic, effective, and holistic yoga guidance, I highly recommend Rishikesh Yoga Valley. This place is a blessing! ~ Sohani P
