I had the honor and pleasure of meeting my teacher Ankit in another school where I completed my first 200 hours of YogaTTC. The day after graduation I rushed into his 30-hour handstand course which was a real challenge for me, as I'm afraid of standing upside down:)
It was as intense as it was captivating. It included aerial yoga and anatomy lessons that went hand in hand with the practice, where every day the muscles activation and body alignment became clearer so I could grasp the handstand technique.
Special thanks to my teacher Ankit Ji for believing in me and the entire team of teachers for giving me the confidence that I could do it.
So don't think twice. Make it happen!

Definitely visit once for an experience of a lifetime!

Ankit Ji and Shivani Ji were the best hosts
I had opted for a 3 day yoga retreat where there were multiple yoga sessions, acro yoga with my partner and a nice excursion

We also saw Ganga Arti which was peaceful and heart touching

It started raining in Rishikesh but Ankit ji and Shivani Ji made sure that we have a comfortable stay and we keep having something fun and relaxing to do

It was mu partner’s birthday and they went out of their way to get a cake for us.

Their stay and food was also really good
Loved the delicious food they served. And the cottages were clean and tidy

I am so happy that I chose sage house as I got more from those 3 days than I expected

It’s a must visit for us now!
I will be going back again really really soon!

I followed a two day retreat with Sage House in November 2023. We started our mornings with a Hatha yoga class, made a very fun excursion to a waterfall, did an afternoon class at the ghat, and even had a short sound healing session. Ankit made sure to take a lot of photos of us during our practice, so now I have many beautiful memories to look back at.

Ankit and Rohit are very talented teachers and above all they are both lovely people. Unfortunately the meditation teacher was ill so I did not have a chance to meet them, but I am confident that all teachers who teach here are excellent.

The accommodation was very modern. I stayed in a spacious private cottage which had all amenities from a kettle to a TV. In the evenings there was a cozy bonfire in the garden to sit around and chat. The atmosphere of the accommodation is quite lively with many guests enjoying the garden and the nearby restaurant until late at night. I even got to watch a pre-wedding movie shoot from my doorstep 🙂

All in all if you’re looking for a fun and modern yoga retreat experience with amazing teachers, Sage House is a good choice.
