Lalithayogaacademy Reviews 

I have just completed the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Lalitha Yoga Academy in Varkala and loved every minute of it. The course is physically and mentally demanding as the schedule is jam packed but the teachers and staff and Lalitha made the experience wonderful. I wanted to go to India to deepen my yoga practice and to learn a more authentic, traditional and spiritual yoga immersion and Lalitha offers that and much more (pranayama, yoga philosophy, anatomy, alignment and adjustment, meditation) a well-rounded program.

The teachers Nitish Lakhera, Jazmin, Dr Sangeeth and Shaji guided me through a wonderful journey of self-discovery, personal growth and deeper practice and I will be for ever grateful. Special thanks to Nitish for his patience, dedication and for his support and guidance.

The yoga shala is beautiful, the food is very healthy (sattvic diet, fresh vegetables and fruits) and the rooms are clean. The location closed to the black beach in the North Cliff of Varkala another reason for going to Lalitha yoga academy. There are numerous cafes and shops close by but my favourite thing at break time was going for a swim in the Arabic Sea. Memorable!

Thank you Lalitha Yoga Academy for being part of my yoga journey! You will stay in my heart for ever.

Muchas gracias Lalitha Yoga Academy por ser parte de este viaje interior a traves del yoga! Siempre los llevare en mi corazon!

I recently spent time at Lalitha Yoga Academy in Varkala and it was a truly beautiful experience from beginning to end. The teachers are exceptionally knowledgeable, yet what stood out most was their kindness and genuine care for every student. You feel supported, encouraged and seen throughout the entire journey.

The training goes far beyond asana. The depth of teaching in pranayama, meditation, philosophy and anatomy creates a rich and well rounded understanding of yoga. There is a strong sense of authenticity in the way the practices are shared, and everything feels rooted in tradition while remaining accessible and clear.

The location makes the experience even more special. The school is close to the famous Varkala cliff and just a short walk from the beach. I was able to swim in the sea nearly every day, which added a refreshing and joyful rhythm to the training. Practising yoga with the ocean so close creates a sense of space and freedom that is hard to describe.

The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming, with a lovely community spirit. The accommodation is clean and comfortable, and the food is healthy, fresh and nourishing.

If you are looking for a yoga school in Varkala that combines depth, warmth and professionalism, I would wholeheartedly recommend Lalitha Yoga Academy. It is an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

The Yoga TTC was a wonderful experience. Right from the onset with the traditional prayer ceremony to the completion , there was a sense of simplicity and authenticity to the entire experience. The teachers were top class , and gently yet confidently encouraged us to progress . The food is daily fresh prepared and very nourishing. Everyone in the school is really caring and it feels very safe. Thank you
