What Our Students Say
Anzhelika
Moscow, Russia
I was searching for a genuine yoga teacher training without leaving home. What I found at Tattvaa far exceeded my expectations. Sunil ji's philosophy sessions completely transformed my understanding of yoga. I am now teaching in Moscow and my students feel the authenticity.
Efrat
Tel Aviv, Israel
I joined Tattvaa's online programme for the depth of knowledge — and it delivered far beyond expectations. The anatomy module alone was worth the entire fee. I now teach with a proper understanding of the body that most yoga teachers never get.
Ingrid
Stockholm, Sweden
The live sessions felt genuinely personal despite being online. In 8 weeks I received more individual attention than in a 200-person studio class. The pre-recorded library is a treasure — I still return to Upendra ji's pranayama sessions regularly.
Margherita
Milan, Italy
The 1-on-1 mentorship made the difference. Krishna ji reviewed my teaching practicum personally and gave specific guidance I could not have gotten anywhere else. If you are serious about becoming a yoga teacher, Tattvaa is the right school.
“Yoga is not about touching your toes. It is about what you learn on the way down.”
Your Transformation Starts With One Decision
Authentic yoga teaching. Real certification. From the banks of the Ganga.

How long do I have access to the course materials?
Lifetime access — no expiry. All recordings, the digital manual, and supplementary materials are yours forever. Many graduates continue using the library years after completing the course.
