I visited this retreat in August 2022, my review has been long overdue! A friend recommended I visit NYH, I was an absolute beginner with no previous Yoga experience at all. It was the best decision of my life and I am going to tell you exactly why.

From the moment I entered NYH, a family-run business, I was welcomed by the amazing NYH team Ms. Shanti, Mr. Tirtha, Mr. Prakash, and all the other lovely teachers and students. There was a very nice vibe about this place and I felt right at home.

The Yoga schedules and program for the day were well managed and there was always something to keep me occupied. Despite being a beginner and having almost ZERO flexibility and experience, the teachers and students were extremely supportive. I took the course at my own pace and on some days chose to skip some classes as I was a bit overwhelmed, being a beginner.

The gurus are the best part of NYH, we had some amazing times with them. I would like to give particular mention to Gurus Deepender, Ram Hari, Santosh (Anatomy), Prakash, Rajendra, etc. I have been enlightened by each and every one of them and their advices are precious to me. I shall have these in my memories for life and cherish them forever.

The students are from all around the world and it was a beautiful mix. We had a lot of cultural exchange and enlightening conversations. I made some friends for life!
