Testimonials

Raffaela Bollinger-Testorelli

(Student)

Thank you Rahul Kataria for your teachings in yoga philosophy and yoga anatomy. I would never have believed (if anyone had told me) that these subjects can tie me up so much, but of course only thanks to you. I could have listened to you for hours every day ‬with so much love and knowledge and conviction you have cast me in your spell!
Namaste and see you soon in Switzerland!

Cynthia de Wolf

(Student)

Rahul’s way of teaching in proper English and his correcting of postures helped a lot and really made me experience the benefits of yoga.

I also liked the extra focus on the breath during asanas, as it made me more conscious. I am taking all this valuable knowledge with me to the yoga lessons I do back in the Netherlands.

I can literally still hear his voice during pauses.

Melissa Nichol

(Student)

Rahul is a true teacher of teachers. And amazing example of someone who genuinely lives in yoga. As one of the most kind, humble, and wise teachers that I’ve come across, and it’s true honor to receive his guidance. Rahul teaches from this place of pure love, free of ego, and you can feel that love in every class and in every conversation with him. His devotion to the practice is inspiring. He once told me “students don’t come to a yoga class to learn how to forward fold, they come to receive love.” He genuinely shares his love with his students and inspires us all to go deeper into our own practice to discover that pure love within so we can go out and share it with the world.
