Testimonials from Our Students
I practiced yoga under the guidance of Yogi Arya from Rishikesh, India. It was a great experience with him because he explained yoga from its root. As here most of the Chinese teachers teach yoga as a sport, I was not feeling completely satisfied. However, after having classes with Yogi Arya I'm completely satisfied and happy. He is such a humble and nice yoga teacher. I’m very happy from his teaching. Thank you!
- Elaine, China
Arya is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Yoga. I took his short courses in Iyengar Alignment, Hatha Yoga, and Swara Yoga while in Rishikesh. He helped me deepen my understanding of both asana practice and the mystical, spiritual aspects of Yoga. I have a much richer understanding of the path toward higher consciousness and how each limb of yoga relates after studying with Arya.

Arya Yogpeeth is a temple of yog, harmony and love. When I entered in the yog class first time, i felt so at home and the skills of Arya were very authentic. He treats you like a brother or sister. From 2020 to 2023 I have been under guidance of my guru ji Shubham Arya and he took my skills to another level. He also taught me how to create comfortable environments for my yoga students and how to encourage them to take their bodies to next level.

Arya's classes have helped me discover potential I didn't even know I had. His deep knowledge of the human body, individual support in every moment of the class, and his positive energy as a person make you feel protected and push you to go further. In addition to feeling uplifted each class, I deeply enjoy the beauty and magic of an authentic yoga practice 🪷

I have had the pleasure of practicing yoga under the guidance of Yogi Arya for nearly two years, and I must say that he is an exceptional yoga teacher. As a swami, I have had the opportunity to meet and learn from numerous yogis, but finding someone as knowledgeable and honest as Yogi Arya has been a rare gem.
Arya’s profound understanding of yoga and human anatomy and physiology set him apart. His expertise in these areas has been instrumental in helping me achieve my health goals. Yogi Arya seamlessly integrates his knowledge of the body's mechanics into his teaching, ensuring that each pose is beneficial and safe.
Yogi Arya's honesty and integrity shine through in every aspect of his teaching. He genuinely cares about his students' well-being and goes above and beyond to ensure their progress and growth. His dedication and passion for yoga are evident in the way he conducts his classes and interacts with his students. Arya radiates a sense of tranquility and inner peace. His classes are not just physical exercises but also a spiritual journey, allowing students to connect with themselves on a deeper level. The serene environment he creates during sessions truly embodies the essence of yoga.
I wholeheartedly recommend Arya to anyone seeking an exceptional yoga teacher. His unique combination of expertise, compassion, and spiritual guidance sets him apart from the rest. My sincere blessings are with him on his journey, as he continues to touch and transform the lives of many through his teachings.
