Swami ji has been the best teacher for me. his way of explaining is so amazing as he makes it so simple for us to understand everything. I'm grateful to have such a teacher in my life.

My favourite class during YTT at Rishikesh. I enjoyed being challenged, thinking differently, hearing other people's perspectives. It felt like a safe environment to explore thoughts and ways of thinking that isn't always possible to do in every day life.

The class was absolutely amazing. I found myself completely focused and invested from the first to the last word of the class. The lessons were so filled with truth and wisdom yet also relevant and entertaining , I found myself pondering at sentences from the class every night before sleep. The class truly stirred something in me and only opened the need to learn and study more of yoga philosophy and hopefully pass it forward one day. I truly thank Swami-Ji from all my heart.

The classes were truly enriching. It was wonderful not only to learn how to chant and recite each verse, but also to gain a deep understanding of their meanings. The Guru's patience and dedication are truly commendable. I feel grateful for this experience.

I along with my wife attended 10 days Yoga retreat in 2018, it was a amazing experience to learn Vedant discourse by Swami Shivabrahmananda ji. We will love to come here again and again for Vedant teachings. Please restart this activity again.

The way Swami explains things is very particular, as he has a great sense of humor and the examples are very apt, making it easy to understand. Thanks

Philosophy class was the most interesting class in the course. It was especially made interesting by Swami ji. The way he taught us with complete friendliness and humour was admirable. It helped us understand the concepts better. There is so much to learn from him. We should have more lessons from Yogasutra by Swamiji.

Yoga Philophy is mandatory if you want to become a real Yogi. I am grateful to each lesson in particular. It has helped me evolve and understand the knowledge properly. Thank you!

Dear Swami Ji , I would like to express my deep gratitude for your yoga philosophy classes. They have always been a perfect balance between humor and seriousness, bringing up very important points for our development as students. I deeply value everything I’ve learned from you and continue to apply these teachings in my daily life

I really enjoyed Yoga Philosophy! It was presented in a very easily digestible way. The last two/three classes is when it got really good! A little slow of a start for those who are familiar with some philosophy of yoga but it picked up nicely towards the end.

Swami ji was my favourite teacher during the yoga teacher training course. His personal stories as well as light and warm approach made the subject resonate with me on a personal level, rather than being just dry facts. We were raising important questions and after few moments, laughing out loud because of some joke. It was a really delightful and inspiring experience.

Anya

The philosophy classes at Rishikesh were truly meaningful during the yoga TTC. What I appreciated most was how the teacher made complex ancient concepts accessible, relevant, and deeply meaningful in the context of our modern lives. The calm presence, deep knowledge, and open heart of our philosophy teacher created a safe and rich space for questioning, growing, and understanding. I’m deeply grateful for this experience.

Anshu

Attending the yoga philosophy class From Swami ji was a deeply eye-opening experience. I learned that yoga is not just about physical postures, but a complete way of life rooted in ancient wisdom. We explored concepts from the Yoga Sutras, including the Eight Limbs of Yoga, and discussed how principles like non-attachment, self-discipline, and contentment can be applied in daily life.

Swami Ji shared the fundamentals of yoga philosophy and contextualised the core teachings for international students in 200h training. From The Yoga Sutras Of Patanjali he covered Sadhana pada, focusing on the practical aspects of yoga. In 300h Swami Ji outlined Sankhya philosophy and ,went more in depth into samadhi pada, looking at dualistic schools of Indian philosophy. I have continued studying Gita with Swami Ji, studying non-dual philosophy.

Sakshi Rawat

This philosophy class has been a game- changer for me. Swami ji's ability to connect theoretical concepts to real-life scenarios is impressive. The classes are always lively, and I appreciate how everyone's perspectives are encouraged and respected. I've never felt so enthusiastic about learning philosophy before! A big thanks to swami ji for creating such a wonderful learning environment!

Meenakshi singh

Swamiji's deep knowledge and clarity in explaining complex philosophical ideas like Dharma, Karma, and Moksha made the sessions enlightening.
He connected ancient scriptures with modern-day life, which helped us see the practical relevance in today's life. His calm presence and storytelling approach created a sacred learning environment. I thank him for encouraging us to explore our inner self with sincerity.

Tashi Malik

Yoga Philosophy offered me a deeply enriching perspective on the roots of yogic wisdom. It helped me connect the physical practice to a more meaningful inner journey. Under the wise and steady guidance of Swami Ji, I found myself immersed in the timeless teachings of the Yoga Sutras, and the ethical foundations of yamas and niyamas. His clarity and depth of knowledge made even complex concepts feel accessible and alive. I’m truly grateful for the insight, depth, and inner transformation.

Ravi Patil

I personally has a profound experience going through the entire Yoga Teachers training course. However, Yoga Philosophy by Guru Ji was an eye opener of how one should prepare himself to head to the ultimate goal of yoga to attain samadhi. I believe my words wouldn't justify how thank full I am to guru ji for showering us with his knowledge about yoga, vedas and the process itself in detail.

Rokas Jurjonas

Swami Shiva Brahmananda Ji is a brilliant philosophy teacher. He's passing down the knowledge gained from his Gurudeva, a renowned saint - Sri Swami Dayananda Maharaja. Things discussed in philosophy classes during my teacher's training course back in 2018 keep popping up in my life when the right moment comes and the teachings start making sense.

Vidhi

Yoga philosophy lessons were not any ordinary lessons. His teaching style ensured to keep his Indian students to international students hooked during the lectures. The pinch of humour made it more interesting. I always looked forward to attending the philosophy class.

Kate

An outstanding experience. Lively discussion with a humorous slant. Loved learning theory and beliefs within the world of yoga. Swami Ji is a wealth of knowledge and I was never ready for his classes to end. The absolute highlight of my YTT in Rishikesh.
