One Yoga

One of the best decisions of my life: The teachers are ongoing books full of knowledge about philosophy, anatomy and art of teaching. Santosh, Surya and Paula in particular are worth their weight in gold.The food was always excellent and the accommodation and the rooms where yoga was done were well maintained.I would do my YTT there again at any time. 🫶

I just graduated a 200 hr. Yoga Teacher Training from One Yoga in March 2024. Totally recommended this place for in depth yoga study.

I rarely write reviews but I want to show some appreciation for this place where the spirit of yoga is truly lived and felt.I took the TTC in January 2024 and it was perfectly organized from start to end, you receive your weekly schedule at the beginning of each week and it has a great balance between yoga intensity, studying philosophy, art of teaching and anatomy and also just having free time.The true gems of this place are the teachers and to what degree they incorporate the spirit of yoga, each one has their own deep expertise and experience and they are thereby able to teach from the heart and not only from the mind.Santosh in yoga philosophy does an incredible job in merging different worldviews and Eastern philosophies (not only yoga philosophy but also Samkhya and Dhamma) with more secular and science-based concepts and teaches in a very open-minded, discourse engaging way. Also he is just the funniest and most approachable teacher ever!Surya and Kat in the yoga classes make you understand what it means to teach yoga from the heart and not from the textbook. They teach in a very refreshing authentic and individual style, so nicely different from the 15-20min power vinyase youtube yoga that is so common right now. It makes you go to new places within yourself on top of the training itself.Also Paula in anatomy and James in more physiology based training are just so good in what they are doing and also very lovely human beings.Konstanza and Angela at reception are just the most well organized and loving people and make sure that everyone feels heard and is having a good time. You don’t have to worry about anything while you are here and you can fully focus on your own personal development.Also Aravind who is teaching meditation now is a great meditation and breathwork teacher.The location of the center, at the dead end of a calm road, and the facilities are also just top-notch. You can just sometimes hear some partiy beats from Summer Salts on the weekends. I had the single bungalow and it was absolutely perfect and sufficient. Food is obviously also great and healthy. Sri Thanu is also a nice cute place to discover and lots of cute restaurants and cake shops in walking distance (dinner is not included in TTC).Lastly, the TTC is of course also about the other participants and my group was just a very fabuluous group of diverse and open minded people from all over the world. Some of the biggest learning I take with me did not come from the classes but just from deep conversations with other participants. My only two cents are maybe that there could be a bit more intense meditation practice (it was only 30min each day) and that one needs to be careful about not overemphasizing on social media content as it might attract a specific more pseudo spiritual crowd.So grateful to have ended up here and leaving this place with a heart full of love. Congratulations to the founders for creating this place and please keep the authentic spirit. I hope to be back some day! 🙏

Edit after their answerHello Danny,I wanted to stop thinking about this in a negative way and even thought about changing this review, but being told my statements are "not true" is not something I can accept. Also claiming, that I "avoid practise", where does this come from? I probably sat more in my own time then during the sittings.I did not state my dissatisfaction on the first morning. We were asked for feedback on the second day and I answered honestly how I feel. Your team assured us, that our opinion is valuable and you will try to work with us. We were also offered a talk with you in particular but then the time was pushed, then you were just not there on the time.You are right, that I could be in my own way by seeing the negative things. That certainly was something that I was facing in the week. But that still doesn't change that point of view or excuse shortcomings.We did not know about the possibility of seeing the treachers. We were never told. The teachers I would want to hear from were also not in the school and left after class, so how is that gonna work?You are right about the space for walking meditation. I was used to a dedicated space for that, but yeah, you can do it on any quiet place. I took it out.Fair enough, there was a sitting on the first day, but you put it out like "by the way, I am sitting and you can join". Still, no schedule on last day.Still my biggest critique, the shared schedule with other groups and drop-ins stands. This felt disruptive and not like a safe space. You are addressing why you as a school are doing that, but I still think this is not what you would call a "retreat".To me it seems like you are taking this personal and might have to overcome some perspective yourself. It wasn't a personal attack, but just my impression and some things I felt others should know, before joining a retreat.All the bestOriginal review:I am aware that a meditation retreat is not necessarily easy and you have to do a lot of work yourself, but still I feel like this is not well organized and overall this retreat in particular feels like an afterthought.The location is nice, rather fancy and sterile. Outside of the shalas there is not a lot of space, a little bit of beach.The food is great.The lessons are varying from very nice and inspiring (with Raj and Danny) to by-the-book, westernized. Aravind`s lessons also really grew on me during the week. I personally found most yoga classes rather uninteresting and some of the teachers are annoying me with their over the top attitude, but that's also on me and personal preference. Still, some of the teachers don't seem very authentic, but always smiling and giving their best.The schedule is the biggest disappointment for me. There are far too many breaks. All Programm except for one class is shared with another retreat, a teacher training and even drop ins. Yoga Classes are packed and there is not a lot of structure in the whole program. I don't feel good with so many people and always new faces, they also bring far too much energy. It's sooo loud in the cantine...Oh did I mention that from the advertised dates at the first and last day there is literally no program. Is this false advertisement?Overall this doesn't feel like a "retreat", but just random classes with far too many breaks and mix-ups.

I've recently finished my Yoga Teacher Training at One Yoga, and I couldn't be happier. Definitely recommend One Yoga if you're looking for a professional, thorough training. You get lots of teaching opportunities, making you feel ready and prepared. The facilities are gorgeous, the teachers amazing and the food delicious. Thanks, One Yoga, for such a wonderful experience!

I stayed 4 weeks doing the YTT, not only I learned how to teach, it was so much more! One yoga provides an intensive program with a safe space to go through it.The office staff is great, specially Constance who always greeted with a smile and solved everything in a heartbeat.Kat was my teacher for teaching, she is outstanding, an experienced professional who shows strength and kindness at the same time✨Santosh will leave you curious on Yogic Philosophy you want it or not, the topics are super well explained for all levels of knowledge. Ask him about the turtle story, it was one of my favorites.Paula makes anatomy easygoing for us beginners, one of my biggest takes from this class was to accept different bone structures influence how asanas look. She is amazing.All in all, i am extremely grateful i got to live one month in paradise while learning so much about yoga and about myself.Definetly recommendes

I did my 200 hour TTC at One Yoga and it couldn't have been better. Everything was perfect. Amazing staff and breathtaking taking view. Totally recommend

I had the most incredible 4 weeks doing my 200 hour TT in One Yoga have been absolutely incredible. It’s hard to put it all into words really.From getting to experience it with the most beautiful souls by my side. To the knowledge and experience we were so lucky to acquire. The new routines, habits, mindset, lifestyle. The list goes on.Thank you, thank you, thank you to One Yoga for the most incredible 200hr YTT qualification. 🤍💫

On the 13th of January I finished the ytt 200h @One Yoga. Now 10 days later I wish I could return time and live it all over.I remember when I was searching the web for a fitting yoga teacher training and felt like it was hard to make a choice. Saw many schools and read lots of reviews. For a reason One Yoga caught my eye and I kept coming back to their website.First it was because of the duration of 28 days, then because of the location and the photos of the food etc.I followed my intuition and booked. Still remember the first I arrived. Can’t believe time went by so fast.From day 1 it felt like magic and super safe. It might feel a bit scary, but I can assure you every day was super special.I have learned so much about yoga, anatomy, yoga philosophy, mantra singing, meditation and also myself. The teachers were so professional and dedicated. Every day they brought the best of energy and shared their knowledge on a really accessible understanding way. They are so inspiring and lovely. Miss them so much ❤️The rest of the students became family and I love them all!!!!!! Miss you so muchMaybe it seems like a bit too much but I’m really not exaggerating. It feels like I’m actually missing words to express this experience.Let’s not forget about the lovely staff. Everyone was so sweet and helpful. Whenever you need something they were there for you always.Did I mention the location and the food already? Breathtaking!

We went to the 2-hour Yin Yoga course. The rooms are of western standard. Everything is spotlessly clean. Each floor mat will be disinfected and cleaned after the course. The course was very professional and relaxing. We'll definitely come back.
