My stay at the Nepal Yoga Academy was a truly life-changing experience. It was my second Yoga Teacher Training and so I can honestly tell that the level of Yoga education provided by Dr. Chintamani and his team is exceptional. I spent two months studying at this beautiful place and at the end of my stay the academy felt like home.
Dr. Chintamani is extremely knowledgable, kind, supportive and fun to be around. I have alway felt like we can discuss any kind of matters. His classes were well structured, easily understood, challenging yet thoughtful of personal limits of each student. One of the highlights were excellent Anatomy classes lead by medical doctors. We’ve been nurtured in many different ways. The change I have undergone on a physical, mental and spiritual level is far beyond I thought was possible in such short time.
The location is the best I could find in the entire Nepal and North India. Set in the tranquil beauty of Nepalese countryside, but still close enough to many historical sites and less than one hour from the Kathmandu capital. There are many beautiful hikes to do around the Academy itself and you can visiti almost all of the most important historical sites of Nepal within a short drive during your off days.
I was surprised by the level of facilities provided by the centre. The rooms are spacious, with big comfortable beds and showers have hot!!! water. I loved spending my free time in the beautiful garden full of blooming flowers and cooling trees.
Last but definitely not least, the food. The amazing team in the kitchen was spoiling us with variety of highly nutritious, healthy yet very very tasty dishes. I could see the vegetarian diet thoughtfully structured to provide a complete package of all necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals in easily digestible and nurturing way. Meal times were my favourite part of the day.
All and all I had an amazing time In Nepal Yoga Academy and I would recommend this experience to anyone!
