In these three countries, I experienced and studied yoga respectively. Before leaving, I searched the internet for information, and the information about this aspect is relatively scarce, so I would like to share my experience with you here, hoping to help you who also love yoga and travel.
"A person's trip,
It makes people lonely and tired.
But it is also free and adventurous. "
Sri Lanka was not originally my planned yoga study place, but purely for tourism. On the way to Melissa and the seaside, I came across two places to study yoga. Once in a temple on the mountain, a young male teacher from Sri Lanka taught for two hours, 1800Rs (about 80 RMB). I have only had one class in this school, and I don't feel very good. The teacher is a bit like just copying and pasting what he has learned and killing time in a hurry. I haven't been there again, but maybe everyone will feel differently. Those who want to attend can go to the seaside. Sometimes people will set up billboards to recruit students there and lead students there.
The other is in a company called Surf &; In the yoga hotel, 1500Rs (about 65 RMB) for one hour, taught by European and American teachers. Because I'm a little disappointed with the first one, and the other one has never experienced it, so I can't learn from it. Fortunately, I got a yoga mat for free in the first store, stayed in Marisa for half a month, and practiced in the hotel by myself.
Recommend a hotel called Sunshine Tree in Marisa. The boss is very good and the breakfast is great. If you are careful about the road from this hotel to the seaside, you can find two places to study yoga.
Yogurt and coconut are highly recommended when going to Sri Lanka. They are delicious and cheap.

"My Indian yoga teacher said,
No matter what happens in your life,
Accept it completely,
And be grateful for it. "

As a holy place of yoga, Rishikesh has many good teachers. Before I went, I was lucky enough to know a girl who had studied yoga in rishikesh for several years. She generously recommended some good teachers and accommodations without taking too many detours. Combined with my one-month study there, I want to tell you something about rishikesh.
? First of all, I want to say that India is not as terrible as China people think, so don't look at it with prejudice. But no matter where you go, caution is very important. In Delhi, you also met a first-class liar. However, it is true that India is dirty. Cattle have the freedom to walk around and shit, and the environment is certainly not as comfortable as in China. If you want to study there, you should be mentally prepared.
? There are also many monkeys in Rishikesh, so you have to hide them in your bag to buy food and fruit, or you will be robbed. A few times, monkeys came to our room aboveboard to look for food.
? Back to the topic, in Rishikesh, the main schools of yoga are Iyengar yoga, Ashtanga yoga and hatha yoga ... If you want to learn Yin yoga and aerial yoga, please move to Bali.
? Mainly in two teachers' classes. One is Ashish (assisi) who teaches Iyengar yoga. It is said that his brother is famous, but he lives abroad all the year round. Assisi is a very casual but creative teacher with a wild way, which is worth recommending. One class is 20 RMB, 1 half an hour to 2 hours. His classroom is located in the Green Hotel, and Google is not as handy as it says in this small place of Rishikesh. Ask more people, and most people can point it out to you accurately.
Another teacher is surrender, a bearded teacher who teaches hatha yoga. He is a very reliable teacher. He always prays before each class, talks about philosophical things after class, and knows how to encourage students with gestures. A class lasts for 20 hours, 1 half an hour to 2 hours. Highly recommended.
In addition, there are some teachers who I haven't had time to experience in class, but they are either well-known in the local area or have a good reputation. One is Usha, who is Swiss, but has been living in Rishikesh and teaching Iyengar yoga. It is said that she is very strict, and many people don't love her classes. In addition, it is also very good for her students to teach primary school classes. They teach in Omkarananda patanjala, and I have to say that the attitude of the front desk is very bad. We just left, so we didn't experience Usha's class. The price list will be expensive in one class, and it will be more cost-effective to buy it in one week.
? There is also a teacher named Kamal who teaches eight yoga, but Bishop TTC, this teacher has done a very commercial job. I haven't attended class, and I can see his advertisement when I go to the river.
? These are better teachers in Rishikesh. Once I went to the library to buy books, the boss would tell me about the good teacher in Rishikesh. These people are all on the list. Some teachers have their WeChat. You can add my recommendation card to you.
Finally, there is a mysterious teacher mentioned by our Portuguese friend after leaving rishikesh. He is old, but like an enlightened fairy, he not only teaches yoga, but also meditates. Under his guidance, my friend has made great progress. However, when he left, the teacher had an accident, but in spite of this, he helped save several people. Although he was seriously injured, he still smiled easily when the students visited him. I hope I can visit this master next time I go to rishikesh.
Rishikesh has two bridges, and most of these teachers are in Ram jhula Bridge. It is recommended to choose accommodation there.
? Recommend two cheap accommodations with good local environment (this is what we summed up after a few days of violent walking). One is called Sudesh Guest House and the other is called Anada Guest House. It's hard to find Ask someone else. In the alley. We live in sudesh, a double room is 60 RMB, each person shares 30 nights, and a single room is about 40 RMB.
There is a restaurant near these two hotels, which seems to be called Oasis Cafe. Vegetables are delicious. Every time I go to his house, I always order this and it makes me sick. There is also a restaurant called ayuverdic cafe, and musli is also delicious, in another alley.
"Riding a motorcycle, sunbathing, surfing, wearing a bikini, going to a bar in Bali ... When I went to Australia, I caught up with the volcanic eruption in Bali in 50 years and stayed at the airport for two days. Glad you came. "
In Bali, I mainly stayed in Ubud. Because I live nearby, I study there. The environment is not bad The classroom is in the big bamboo forest room, and the trees outside the window are lush. You can come into contact with many yoga schools, such as aerial yoga, mobile yoga, eight yoga, hatha yoga and yin yoga ... Some teachers are not bad, but they are unlikely to give one-on-one advice like Indian teachers. If the price is about $65,438+00 per class, I choose an unlimited card for one week, 420 RMB per week. I usually go to 2-3 classes every day. One class 1 half an hour.
In addition, Ubud's yoga studio is also famous, but I have never experienced it.
If you go surfing in Long Valley, there is also a yoga school there. There was a family that wanted to experience it before, but it didn't work. I forgot the name.
? Comparing these three countries, I personally think that India, as the birthplace of yoga, is the most suitable place to study, with cheaper prices and more teachers. The environment in Bali will be better. Like India, many Europeans and Americans live there all the year round to study yoga. Of course, because all these countries teach in English, it is best to have a little English foundation and at least be familiar with the English vocabulary of yoga.
First time in, please enjoy it. A Mu.
