Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute & Research Center

I can't say enough lovely things about Kaivalyadhama, it exceeding my expectations in every way. I felt extremely well looked after, personally cared for, and the patience and skill shown by our yoga teacher made me feel really supported and valued. The campus itself is a peaceful oasis that feels both a serious place of learning, as well as a relaxing retreat. I met and shared stories with people from many countries and learned a lot about the fundamentals of yoga. I would recommend Kaivalyadhama to anyone to hope to return one day.

This was my first visit at KDham Lonavala. I signed up for the SOHAM program. Pros: Peaceful and green surrounding, cooperative staff (minus few), sattvik food (one get used to the taste of the food within few days), thumps up for cleanliness. Cons: One of their senior yoga teacher is into favoritism. If you are her favorite, then you get full attention, or else you would be just ignored. For a highly acclaimed program like SOHAM, this yoga asanas are very basic. Believe me, we didn't even get to do Surya Namaskar in a 14-day workshop. It's the best place to get into depth of Pranayama & Meditation. Even in a batch of 10-12 participants, few participants always had to be on their own. The teacher showed no concern, even if their yoga postures were incorrect. I saw her paying attention to those who were buttering her. I had booked Standard room and got the one on the first floor. Please note this point if you're particularly scared of lizards. The roof has some opening, and the lizards were popping in and out. Their security guy is very helpful, and twice he got the lizard out of the room. But one night, I wasn't lucky enough, and I saw a super big lizard at around 10 p.m. I had to spend that night in someone else's room. The climate was hot and humid. Don't go during the rainy season or summer if you want to escape heat. Will I go there again? Sure, I will. But I'll make sure to go during the winter season, avoid attending classes by the teachers into favoritism, and not book the standard room.

One of the best and renowned Yoga institute in India. Now in its 100th year, setup in 1924. Very authentic and has an amazing huge campus. Very good yoga, pranayama, ayurvedic n naturopathy weekly sessions and courses too. Have 4 types of staying facilities. Well thought out layout, facilities, food and the staff is humble and soft spoken. India's 1st Yoga collage. The food is satvic and simple, but tasty. They have academics for Ayur amd Yoga. Cheap as compared to many other institutes. They have an evening talk session too, on wellness. 1 evening session of Tratak. Any day worth the money and best in this part of India.

I came to Kaivalya Dham Yoga Center on Sunday and was greeted by enthusiasm and I felt positive vibes as soon as I arrived. I was put in the car in the pouring rain followed by hot tea at the reception. the tea was Ayurvedic herbal tea., it was still raining when I was taken to the centre and the staff put my luggage in the right place. The doctors gave me a form to decide my personalized treatment and after filling out this form I was interviewed after that I decided to take a yoga and relaxation course. My treatment started the next day at 5:30 am and my one-week course went very well. In which I was given yoga sessions, taught asanas, taught pranayama, and learned postures. Everyone in this yoga centre help me to grow but I was most impressed by Shalini, Premila and Priyanka madam. Today I am in Mumbai. My powers have increased. Health has increased. The concentration is high. Increased flexibility in the body Muscle pains are reduced Thank you so much

This is the third time we have attended the One week health treatment. It has been a great experience for me and my wife and we will continue coming every year to take care of our health. Kaivalyadham is a very Holistic place with very knowledgeable people full of enthusiasm to help. You will surely make new friends and meet some like minded people. It is a secluded environment in a busy place where you will find peace and tranquility.
