Top academy and a big family

I headed to Rishikesh with the purpose of finding the best academy to train as a Kundalini Yoga teacher. After researching and contacting several academies, I decided choose World Peace Yoga School. I am satisfied with my choice, I leave you my honest opinion on the five most important points when selecting an academy:- Teachers: Most of the teachers are VERY GOOD, this is what I liked most about this academy, and what it is worth paying for. Among them I highlight Ashu, a teacher that I will never forget, he has inspired me a lot and has made this experience incredible and unforgettable. Ashu sets the level, I have no words to express my satisfaction at having received his teachings. Receiving classes from these teachers is the main reason for choosing World Peace Yoga School.- Food: The food at the Ashram is very good, balanced and varied. Perfect for practicing yoga. Personally Indian food is my favorite so I really loved eating here. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. You serve yourself the food and you can eat as much as you want, a delight.- Facilities and accommodation: I have been to many Ashrams during the 4 times I have been to India, and without a doubt, this has been the most luxurious Ashram. It is designed for people who come from outside and are not used to the chaos and disorder of India. It has four Yoga halls to practice, two terraces with incredible views, common areas. The wifi fails often (but it always happens in India) although they always try to fix it soon. The rooms are clean and well-equipped, with comfortable beds. A perfect place to concentrate on Yoga. In front you have the Ganges River, just 3 minutes away to bathe and cool off in its sacred waters. Behind you you have the jungle. The location is excellent. The only thing that could improve is that right next door there is a construction site that sometimes generates a little noise but this is normal in India, they are always building something, constant calm is a concept that does not exist in India. In fact, constant calm only exists within you, when you are in harmony with life, any noise becomes a pleasant symphony.- Staff: The Staff people are absolutely wonderful, very friendly and are always at your disposal to help you with whatever you need. It's a big family. I felt at home and it was thanks to them, I miss them every day.- The training: I decided on the 500-hour Kundalini Yoga training. It is divided into 200 hours + 300 hours (2 months). The first month was incredible, a lot of learning, many new things to integrate, to learn, to practice, it was totally worth it. The second month (300 hours) was a bit disappointing because several classes began to repeat themselves. The level of my class was very low because many students had not taken Kundalini 200 hours previously, and the teachers had to constantly adjust and repeat things that I had already seen in the previous 200-hour course. I accepted it and it was still worth it, I learned some new things, and reinforced previous knowledge. I also strengthened my patience and acceptance.Rishikesh is the place where Yoga was born, and is called the capital of Yoga. Those past times have changed a lot, and we cannot forget that nowadays, throughout the world and especially in India, most things are a business. Therefore we must accept this, since sometimes it can shock us to experience this reality in a spiritual environment. Yoga is the big business in Rishikesh, and there are many academies that are scams. Those of us who really value learning value good teachers who know how to transmit, and a pleasant place where we can learn in the best conditions. For these reasons I give 5 stars to this Yoga academy and I dare to assure that it is among the TOP of BEST YOGA ACADEMIES in Rishikesh. A great family that I will never forget, and that I will always carry in my heart, lot of metta, hariom namaste.
