Yoga Satsanga Ashram, Wales

The Ashram is the perfect place to attend the wonderful classes, for all abilities, as well as undertaking courses. Everyone is friendly, the atmosphere is warm & inviting, as well as peaceful. It is a wonderful place for body, mind & soul. I am undertaking the 200 hour teacher training course, it's amazing, the teaching, the approachability of the teachers, the accommodation, food, it's been and continues to be a wonderful course.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my yoga teaching training experience with Jnandev and Deepika at the Satsanga Ashram- they provide a warm and friendly environment to learn and practise yoga set in the heart of the Welsh countryside. If you are interested in training to be a yoga teacher I highly recommend their courses in traditional Rishiculture Ashtanga yoga.

I have loved training at Yoga Satsang in adult and kids yoga teacher training over 2015-2016. Jnandev and Deepika (the teachers) are hugely knowledgable and welcoming, the Ashram is situated in the beautiful countryside - I always leave a retreat weekend feeling re-charged and relaxed. You are well looked after and fed lovely fresh, healthy vegetarian meals. I would thoroughly recommend a visit!

Attended the YTT200 in Portugal, what an amazing experience! Jnandev was so welcoming, kind and accommodating. The course was a wonderful holistic collection of all the different aspects of yoga. Could not recommend more highly!

If you are looking for an authentic classical style of learning yoga, as it should be(!) connecting with yoga's Ancient roots and teachings then look no further..!!Yogachariya Jnandev and Yogacharini Deepika run this beauitiful ashram in the heart of the Welsh countryside, it is so peaceful and relaxing from the moment you arrive. This really allows you to focus on the course and develop your own style of teaching. During the covid-19 pandemic, I have been fully supported to complete the course online, and everything has been done in their power to support us through this difficult time.The course covers some amazing therapeutic practices, which have quite simply changed my life. The practices allow you to truly experience the power and benefits of living yoga, rather than the westernised version of purely practicinig yoga 'on the mat'.I think we need these teachings more than ever on this transforming world we find ourselves in... If you are looking for classes, or teacher training then you have come to the right place! You will be fully supported and empowered from day one to follow this amazing journey and reach your true potential.You will be fully welcomed in to the heart of their family, and this will truly be life changing if you are ready for this journey...Lastly but not leastly, the food you wil eat on the residential weekends is absolutely amazing, home cooked by Jnandev - it is nourishing, delicious and energising!Steff xx

A very enriching and eye-opening experience of traditional, Ashtanga (eight-limbs-of-yoga) is taught on the 200 hour course. This means good experience of Jattis, kriya, pranayama, mudra, bandha, pratyahara, dharana and dhyana and relaxation are taught, as well as asana and vinyasa. So if you'd like to learn more than just the gymnastics of western yoga, this is a good place to come. The teaching gives an experience of traditional Ashram life, that embraces family life. I loved it !!! and they were totally supportive of me being pregnant while I trained and completing in the months after my new baby was born, her being breast fed and family supporting me while I did the course. This is living yoga.

A genuinely authentic yoga experience in warm, friendly company set in beautiful, peaceful scenery in Wales.It helped me transform my personal practice & understand the yogic lifestyle in more depth.We went beyond asana's (postures) & yoga just for fitness or physique, exploring the eight limbs (Ashtanga yoga) of yoga, bringing a deeper understanding of an often overlooked side to this ancient practice.An absolute must for anyone serious about their practice or wanting to create space & develop tools for deep relaxation.

If you want to learn Yoga in an authentic manner then I would highly recommend Yoga Satsanga Ashram. Many people are aware that yoga is more than just trying to touch your toes but it can be difficult to find courses or institutions that explore anything more than the postures and stretching. I myself tried very hard to find somewhere that i could learn and experience the philosophy of yoga beyond what you can read in books and on the internet. I was prepared to travel to India in order to do this, however, having found Yoga Satsanga Ashram in Carmarthenshire Wales this is not necessary. Highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed the 200hr yoga teacher training course. Verry well organized and amazing teachers. I really feel i learned so much and my life has improved greatly from the start to finishing the course. I am so gratefull for the teachings and all that i've learned and would highly recomend the course. I am now enjoying teaching Classical Hatha yoga classes my self. I look forward to hopefully doing more courses with Satsanga Ashram in the future!ThanksNamaste
