Just finished the online Kundalini training with Aadhya Yogshala and feeling very grateful to the teacher , Dripendra Tripathiji for sharing his ancient wisdom in a very comprehensive and approachable way.
I’m a yoga practitioner and teacher since many years and highly appreciate to have had the opportunity to receive the yogic teachings in the tradition of the Himalayan Masters direct from the source. I feel the Heart of Yoga has been awakened on a deeper level in me . The depth of the teachings are more embedded now in my system. It’s very needed in this world of growing interest in Yoga and spirituality to keep on going back to the core, back to basics to have a strong foundation.
The ease of having this online training in the comfort of our own home now , worldwide, is an opportunity no beginner or advanced yogi should miss.

The Himalayas have given birth to such amazing teachers and human beings. Abhishek the organizer along with Pinky,Ravi, Dipendra are an amazing team. They embody their knowledge and experience. Also caring and connecting truthfully with their trainees and their needs. They are fun to be with and they really encourage and empower everyone giving a solid idea of what yoga is. Wise and grounded. 🙏🌟❤️🙂

Marija Mosurovic

I had a really great time last summer in India. My journey started in Delhi and my group visited Agra, Mathura, Rishikesh and, at the end, Goa. The organisation was really great, we had yoga and meditation classes with Dipendra and other great teachers and we enjoyed kirtan with Pinky. In the period we were in India I saw how great this country and its peope are, I met friends for a life and I highly recommend Aadhya yogshala to everyone who wants to explore not only the magnificent world of yoga but also the great country such as India. Everything was absolutely perfect and I'm sure that soon I'll visit India again and I'll continue my experience with Aadhya yogshala 🙏

Amazing school, great and dedicated teachers and very well organized touristic program that follows. We learned, explored that beautiful country, and made amazing friendshis in India.
I ll come for sure once again in March.

Mila Vulović

I visited India in March for the Holi festival and it was such a great experience that I'm sure I will come back to this fantastic country! I heart about Aadhia yoga school from a friend who attended their TTC and she was absolutely right about everything. This time they organized a 8 days retreat and we visited so many beautiful places!
Two days of celebration of Holi were so amazing and we lived them with such joy and happiness!
I highly recomend Aadhia yoga school becouse of their professionality and kindness!

An unforgettable trip to wonderful India in March this year. Although it has been almost three weeks since the return, the impressions have not subsided. In a short time, we got to know some of the most famous historical sights of India, experienced the unforgettable Holi festival, enjoyed the yoga and meditation center, shopped in the Indian way, hanging out with special people... This was definitely one of my most exciting trips... India, I'm definitely coming back 🙂

When I started my trip to India, I didn't know what to expect. In my imagination, there was only an unusual nature and a different culture. But India is much more. India is an amazing color of energy, spices and people. Everything made me smile and feel happiness and love.
I thank Abhi for the wonderful hospitality.

Jovana Vučković

Abhi was a delightful guide. His presence was the perfect addition to the wonderful group of people that was traveling to India. He made the trip easy and full of places that have immense history and significanse for Indian culture. We could not thank him enough for his effort,so if you are looking for someone who is excellent at his job, its definitely him

maria grazia duonnolo

I had the opportunity to come in contact with Abhi Krishna of aadhya yoga school and he helped me to organize an amazing journey with a group of Italian friends and yoga students.
I am really satisfied, everything went well and we were visiting awesome places, temples and ceremonies. I really suggest aadhya if you want to enjoy Indian culture and good food , feeling comfortable and surrounded by kind and lovely people! Abhi was taking care of everything and we were spending great time in India ! Don’t miss it !

La mia terza volta in India è stata un' esperienza straordinaria perché

Anna Harris

I recently had the privilege of experiencing the most enchanting cultural retreat in India, and words cannot express the depth of my gratitude to Abhi, the tour operator. The exceptional service, combined with genuine warmth and a true commitment to his guests, made this retreat a truly unforgettable experience.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with smiles that reflected the rich hospitality of India. Each tour guide demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, always going above and beyond to ensure every guest felt not just welcomed, but truly at home.
What sets Aadhya Yogshala apart is the heartfelt dedication to preserving and sharing the beauty of Indian traditions. The meticulously planned activities, immersive experiences, and authentic cultural exposure provided an insight into the soul of this incredible nation.
The accommodations were comfortable and exuded traditional charm. Every detail showcased a deep understanding and appreciation for the local culture. The highlight, however, was Abhi’s unwavering commitment to pleasing each guest, and creating a sense of cultural immersion with his deep knowledge of Indian history and yogic tradition. Every minute was a joyful adventure where all guests felt safe, shared stories, laughter, and a genuine love for the rich tapestry of Indian heritage.
Thank you Abhi and team - we will absolutely be back! 🙂

Diane Grace

would like to say a huge Thank You to Abhi Krishna and his team for organising the India Yoga Culture and Ayurvedic Retreat in January 2024. I found the tour to be well coordinated and Abhi and his team to be very professional and friendly. The hotels and food were great. We were blessed with fantastic service all throughout our stay, from the drivers who navigated us through India’s busy streets to the guides who took us through the famous sights, it was fascinating learning about Indias rich history and culture. I loved every minute of my 2 weeks in India, and I’ll definitely be back

Marisa Merola

Sono partita con un gruppo di italiani, quasi tutti praticanti yoga come me. Senza né se né ma ho deciso di fare questo viaggio all'insegna della spiritualità in primis, ma anche della cultura, tradizioni e pratica in quella che è la madrepatria dello yoga. Di certo non è per tutti l'India, devi essere predisposto a guardare con gli occhi del cuore. Le emozioni di questo viaggio sono state molto forti, che ti segnano dentro e che ti cambiano. Almeno così a me è successo. Abbiamo visitato 5 città tutte nel nord dell'India, tanti templi, posti spettacolari, mangiato cibo buonissimo (nessun problema intestinale!), visto l'alba sui monti dell'Himalaya, cantato nel tempio di Krishna, e tantissimo altro, addentrandoci nella cultura e nelle tradizioni indiane per eccellenza. La vera India!
Ringrazio Abhi per questa magnifica esperienza, e ritengo sia l'unico a garantire a prezzi convenevoli un meraviglioso connubio di yoga e bellezze indiane che di certo un'agenzia di viaggi o persone non del posto non riuscirebbero a offrirti. Consigliato al 100% (parlo anche da viaggiatrice nel mondo)! Namaste 🙏

Excellent services good behaviour highly recommend and best location with beautiful mountains view

Becca

An incredible time with Abhi and a wonderful group of ladies from all over the world! Every day was full of adventure and to experience Holi was life changing! Already can’t wait to go back to India for more experiences like this!!!

Melissa Moore

10/10! This was my first trip to India and I was not disappointed! the Itinerary was clear, Abhi was prompt with all questions and I felt safe and supported throughout our stay. I appreciate the wonderful customer service and unforgettable memories. This trip exceeded my expectations and we are already looking for our next booking with Abhi!

Emily Ranucci

I had the pleasure of attending the Holi Retreat in March of 2024 and it was spectacular! My travel partner and I had plans that didn’t completely align with the retreat dates and Abhi was gracious enough to work with us to modify our time at the retreat. Everything from the accommodations, transportation, meals and activities was seamlessly planned with top notch communication the entire way. Cannot recommend enough!

Gaby Kossaer

Aadhya Yogshala is known for its exceptional responsiveness, flexibility, and deep understanding of tourists’ needs. With years of experience, they’ve built an extensive network of professional partners, including knowledgeable guides and skilled yoga experts. I’ve visited India twice, and I never considered not working with Abhi. Even when I traveled partially on my own, I always felt safe, knowing I had a good friend in India named Abhi.

Nicky Reynolds

My husband and I have just returned from an amazing cultural yoga retreat, which we booked through my Kundalini yoga teacher in the UK, Brigitta (Yog Sharanam) of Deep in Yoga, Southend.

The retreat itself was put together by Abhi Sharma of Aadhya Yogshala in Rishikesh, whom Brigitta had connected with on one of her many previous trips to Rishikesh.

The moment we stepped out of the airport in Delhi we werein love with India. It is an amazing place, the sounds, the colours, the energy and probably most impactful the beautiful people. There is so much for us to learn from them and in 12 days we feel we just scratched the surface, but we will be forever grateful to have attended this retreat and it was made even more magical for me as my husband embraced it by my side.

Everything was meticulously planned and we saw so many wonderful places in Delhi, Jaipur, Agra and Rishikesh.

I loved every minute. We had the most wonderful group who were all warm, kind and fun and together we relished everything we saw and experienced.

My feeling is that everybody should experience India and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abhi and his team to help you do that.

Every day brought new magic and laughs. India has to be experienced to be believed. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful opportunity.

Namaste 🙏

Nicole Brookes

We recently returned from a cultural and yoga retreat organised by Abi and his company, and it was an incredible experience! The trip started in Delhi and took us through Jaipur and Agra before ending in Rishikesh. Every part of the Golden Triangle tour was well-organised, and the group was lovely—everyone had a fantastic time.

The journey between destinations was smooth, with an air-conditioned bus that kept us comfortable throughout. The driver was excellent, getting us safely from place to place, and water was thoughtfully provided along the way.

In Rishikesh, the focus shifted to yoga, which was a peaceful and rejuvenating way to end the trip. The accommodation was 3-star, offering a quintessential Indian experience, and it suited the vibe of the retreat perfectly.

Abi was amazing—helpful, attentive, and always ensuring we were looked after. His organisation and care made this trip memorable. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a combination of sightseeing, culture, and yoga in a well-structured itineraryWe recently returned from a cultural and yoga retreat organised by Abi and his company, and it was an incredible experience!

Sheryl Griggs

I have just returned from an amazing cultural and yoga retreat experience organised by Abhi, which was booked through my yoga teacher. As a group of 11 we visited the Golden Triangle - Delhi, Jaipur and Agra, before travelling further north to Rishikesh in the foothills of the Himalayas.

Our transport from attraction to attraction and city to city was arranged meticulously on a comfortable minibus with regular refreshments provided for us and pit stops along the way. The

Throughout the 12 days Abhi was attentive, helpful and ensured all our needs were met. If you're looking for a well organised experience with a structured itinerary, I would highly recommend travelling to India with Abhi and his team.

India is a vibrant, loud, happy and energetic assault on the senses - an experience not to be missed and one that everyone should have.driver and his assistant were excellent and reliable.

Ο Άμπι ήταν εξαιρετικός και γνώριζε πολύ καλά να οργανώσει την εκδρομή μας στο Ρισικες, τοΔελχί, την Άγκρα και την Τζαιπουρ. Ήταν πάντα σε ετοιμότητα να απαντήσει οποιαδήποτε ερώτηση μας, και τα ξενοδοχεία καθώς τα εστιατόρια που επέλεξε για εμάς ήταν καθαρά και πολιτισμένα. Θα τον συνέστηνα σε όποιον θα ήθελε να επισκεφθεί την Ινδία! Μάλιστα ήδη τον έχω συστήσει σε μια φίλη που θα επισκεφθεί την Ινδία μόνη, και είμαι σίγουρη ότι θα φροντίσει να είναι ασφαλής και να περάσει καλά!

Abhi is an excellent host and very professional. He organized for my friends and myself a tour from Rishikesh to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur in May 2025. Everything was very well organized, the hotels and restaurants chosen were good, and the guides we had in all the cities were well informed and polite, willing to answer our questions and care for our needs. Abhi himself was always eager to respond to our questions or help us with anything. A big thanks to all the team, and especially to Gudu, our always smiling bus driver! I would recommend Abhi and his team for anyone planning a trip to India.
