Hello my little apples!! Welcome back to another vid. It's going to be a long one so please take a seat, get some snacks and enjoy! make sure to like this video (it really helps a sista out and takes 0.5 seconds to do) and subscribe if you are diggin the content. love you all!!
Your dad going with you to make sure it’s safe is so cute and genuine! I’m glad you enjoyed your time and are willing to help others go as well. I always feel like going to other countries is incredible because you learn so much and it truly does humble you realizing not everyone is as blessed as we are. Yet they make the best out of it! 🤗
As you dwell into your practice, you may start questioning Who are the lucky ones? Basically it depends more on the internal world, not so much on the external.
Wow, you did our job easy, what an explanation about cost, travel, food and all other minute information in the video. Best Work every !! Thank you again for highlighting your experience at RVYS.
"Its never too late, unless you're 66" LOL love it xD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE and for being so raw and honest. We could be robbed/kidnapped/raped/hurt in any country and for people to demonize travelling to India is so unfair. It is one of the most beautiful and warm places in the world. Yes, it may have its flaws, but every country does! Much love...
thanks for watching :) and always interacting! sending love!
Really I am 68… thanks for letting me know.
Pls share the name of this school
@@Jojorocks23nah don’t listen to that. it’s never too late unless you’re dead!
You are very good sister .you have seen real India .India is save .some stupid media showed wrong image of India. Wellcome to India .thanks
I follow you and Mary for years now. And yesterday I just paid for my own 200 hour yoga teacher training at that school in January.. I am already looking so forward to it! Thank you Amanda
girl thank you so much for this video! I really really want to go to this school specifically, and I'm totally gonna show my parents this video so all their questions are answered!
This was a very helpful video, thank you! and so sweet of your dad to travel with you and make sure you are safe :)
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU for actually going to the ends of the earth to learn the practice of yoga. GOOD FOR YOU And something you will always have in your heart
This video is extremely informative and I would definitely like to do this in the next few years. You answered a lot of the questions and concerns that I had.
PS, your dad going to make sure you were safe is the sweetest thing!
Thanks so much, babe. You are glowing after this training. Sounds magical. I'm between two YTT options right now: this one and another. I'm really thankful for your perspective. I know this YTT is traditional, but is there room for exploring or being creative in your practice or teachings? That's one of the things that is important to me in a training. I really would love to go to the yoga capital of the world. So beautiful and I love the spiritual aspects.
Wow...this is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you so much for sharing the info! This video is so thoughtful and helpful, all of the nitty gritty details are extremely helpful!!!! Thank you!!!! Namaste 🙏
Thanks a million Amanda!!!! Enjoyed much this video, kudos to your Dad for taking you there.
thank you so much amanda, thanks for all the work you put in this video providing all the information about the yoga training! you've inspired me immensely to someday maybe do the same. you are glowing :D
one day you will!! if you really wish to :)
I watched your video yesterday and I’m so glad it pop up on TH-cam,so many yoga school not sure which one should I pick, but I’m glad you share a little about that.
This has actually been my dream for the longest time! Hopefully I can go next summer, it looks like you had an amazing time 😍
I really like this! I was in Rishikesh doing YTT at the same time as you and found you on insta through that :p great advice!!
This was amazing! You answered all my questions and took away doubts.
Thank you for ur articulate and humble explanation.
It was so sincere,kind and came straight from ur heart.
Sold! Thank you! Totally going 😊
I was so excited for this video and it was so nice and helpful to hear your experiences. You're literally so glowing from the inside since you came back and it seems like your mind found so much peace.✨ Thank you so much for sharing Amanda, for me you're such an example for how much positivty, wisdom and love can be spread through social media 🙏❤️
thank you so much Layla! sending you love love love!
Ive been interested in traveling opportunities that aren't just me going somewhere else exploring on my own and I've been practicing yoga on and off for a few years now so I was really intrigued when you started posting about your time at yoga teacher training. Thank you for this video, I learned a lot!! can't wait to watch the next one!!
Thank you so much for all this valuable information ! 🙏🏽🌸
Great video Amanda! I want to go to yoga school so bad. I've been practicing for about two years and I've decided that it's something that I would like to learn more about. I'm also interested in traveling abroad as it is something I've never done before. It's good to know that traveling to India isn't a terrible experience and that you had a great time at the school.
This was so informative! Thank you so much
Very insightful!! Thank you for sharing!
Vert informative ! Thanks ... I will be going tout Rishikesh attention the end of the month for a 200h training... Wish me luck ;)
I can't believe your family had concerns for your safety with going to India! :D Glad they learned that it's all fine through you going there. :)
Your chanel even more informative than the yoga school itself love it ..thank you very much Amanda
Great video... Very informative It answered a lot of my questions about yoga school in India
Power goes out everywhere in India. Totally normal year round. Glad you had a good experience and that you are respectful of the people and culture there.
Thanks for sharing, Amanda!
You're so inspirational love
I can imagine anybody feeling nervous before traveling abroad solo, let alone teach something! But I am certain this experience was irreplaceably fulfilling. It seems like a magical trip and I’m inspired to do something similar but in Thailand or Japan!
Cassie Autumn I like your channel
Aw thank you! I really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for this video. I am travelling to Rishikesh myself end of this year for 200h Yoga Teacher Training. I am familiar with the Asia, as I lived and worked in Thailand for nearly 2y ( I am aware India is quite different) but I wasn't sure if i am physically and mentally ready to do the training. Thank you so much for sharing that will to learn yoga and open mind count. :) Good luck with everything, I am sure you are an amazing yoga teacher :) 💓💓🙌
Hi! Just wondering if you ended up going. How was your experience?
I really enjoyed this video I’m 51 and I’m just starting to do yoga at home it’s hard but I like it love your videos you have a beautiful soul🤗❤️
Your 51, im 45 and feel i way to old to begin, esp the health badnes ive let myself get to in the past 7yrs. Maybe it is ok To begin
Loz - do it!!! I started yoga in my 40's and am now 55 and love yoga so much! So good for you & will help improve strength, flexibility & your outlook on life and yourself! It is never too late to start yoga and there are many free classes online (Yoga with Adrienne on TH-cam is great for beginners but there are lots of other great teachers on here too).
Thanks for sharing your experience.
thank you for this very informative video ♥
Shout to your amazing dad!!!👏🏽🙌🏾👏🏽
he's the best :)
Lovely dad
So inspirational! I’m also the youngest of 4 children. Lol I’m going to India next year to learn about vegan food, animal rehabilitation, and sustainable clothing. Hopefully next time, it’ll be for yoga!! I’d love to get together to talk more about India ♥️
Happy for you
Thank you for this vid! Very helpful. I am considering to go to do a yoga teaching course:)
Asa new yogi I love this video! More please!
Thank you for your video. I am going to India to get my yoga study done thank you very much for the message
why do people dislike videos? ...its weird. Good info, thanks.
I loved this video, now I’m dying to go to Rishikesh for training!! ❤️
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I practiced ashtanga from 2006 to 2011... I stopped in 2012 to have a baby, went vegan in 2017. Lost a lot of weight... All of that back story just to say, April 2018, I bound for the first time in marychasana A.... I practiced for many years with people who could bind on the first day... It taught me to turn my focus inward and not look at anyone else... Follow your breath, engage your bandas and breathe :-)
congrats on the marichyasana! it's not the easiest pose :)
Thanks for your video.
great one, thank you very much :)
Thank you for sharing your experience with the world….going there soon 😊
Hi. Did you go to India to get your yoga training done yet? Because I am going to this year. Is it good? The school has the bus can pick up in Delhi?😅
I am Indian living in Canada. I can bet India is most affordable country.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for a really helpful video! I am thinking of going in in July, how was it going in Monsoon season? X
Thanks so much for sharing xo
Water from river Ganga is holy water. You store it fir years and it will not smell at all. Indians pray river Ganga or Mother Ganga, bring water home in bottles for rituals / pooja. It’s pure coming down from Himalayan mountain. Regarding protein, plants are best source of protein. You do not need any powder, just be organic and connect to nature like your ancestors. India is heaven for Veg lovers.
Nicely explained 😊.... Basically i.m from Rishikesh, India
I am an Indian and this video even helped me in understanding everything about Rishikesh training. Thanks Amanda . I think i now know what to bring to Rishikesh as its one of the developing cities of india which still has these electricity issues etc. for mosquitoes , the best option would be a mosquito net bc it will protect you 100% when you sleep. I hope next time you will enjoy your visit more
This was really informative. I have two questions though:
1. Did everyone have to teach a class or partial class at the end?
2. Can you explain the instagram story of all of you chugging water and the purpose of that?
I still have to watch your other videos on the topic so sorry if those were addressed.
What’s the best month to go? Thank you for this video!! 💙
amanda, thank you so much for sharing all of this! I already booked a ytt in rishikesh and I’m curious... what did you pack? any advice? thank you 🤗
What a great dad!
he definitely is!
Nicely explained 😊.... Basically i.m from Rishikesh
Thank you for sharing! This is really helpful to me in deciding whether or not I should take a 300 hr in India.
i'm doing my 300 hour there soon again!!
I love everything you do! I am in a similar spot in life and was just wondering if you work any sort of part time job or how you have the money to afford to travel and get the yoga license while going to college & getting your B.S? So happy for you!
It was really helpful
I really enjoyed your video! It was so informative and really influenced my decision to go to India for yoga school. It was meant to be that I come across your video! Whats your advice on the visa? Do you get it before the trip or when you get to India?
you have to get a visa before you arrive to india :)
This was so informative! Thank you!
Very informative, Amanda. Thank you very much! Btw, What is the name of the school?
Very informative video. Answered alot of questions I had. What is the name of the school you went to? X
a lady that takes care of her protein needs is a total spiritual turn on for me
And people who are not beginner and looking for Advanced training -- check it out - rishikeshvinyasayogaschool.com/300-hour-yoga-teacher-training-rishikesh/
I also studied yoga teacher course 200 hours at the same school in October 2018. I loved it too! But not everything was perfect: sometimes electricity was off, not always hot water available (due to it is India and it's up on the mountain). But the atmosphere was family-like and very friendly!! And I loved the teaching, practicing classes with all the guys, food and schedule. Amazing time!
thats village life baby
I so love seeing this video of a trip to a foreign country from a vegan standpoint.
Superb
That doggo😍😍🥰
Obviously I had a good time that cracked me up wow that was funny definitely subscribing
Having watched your video Im very keen on going there :) where were most people from?:)
so informative! thank you! and you are so cute!]
Can you tell us what supplements you take now? This was a very informal video! Love it!!
vitamin b12, b3, and probiotic!
Hi! I will be going to this training in November. What time of year did you visit? How is the weather ? Thank you!
I must go
That’s honestly so beautiful that your dad did that.
Thank you for sharing !!!!
Is the classes open all year round?
yep! check out the website links :)
I'm planning to go trekking in himalayas after my 200hr TTC program in rishikesh. Do you think I can leave my luggage including laptop in the school itself ? (so that I can trek without carrying all the luggage) Will it stay there without getting stolen or something?
P.S: Love your vibes and content ideas so far. Keep it up :)
Yoga has become a fad in America, and that's so sad. We need more yoga teachers that learn from places abroad. I'm glad you went.
great video! I'm headed to Rishikesh in 8 days for a 200 hr vinyasa teacher training ! sooo excited, awesome content here, hope you enjoy ur next course there :)
very informative..
what is the name of the school you went to?
I just received my 200 hr where I live in Northern California, I received a scholarship from the owner of a studio I maintain the front desk at, and it was magical. This definitely however intrigues me and makes me want to obtain my 500 ytt at this school in India. I wonder though if I would be capable of the advanced 300 or 500 ytt there just because in my training here we didn't focus on ashtanga or vinyassa at all. Anyways thanks for the share
Hey love!! so awesome to hear you loved your teaching course. I'm not sure, it would be best to email them (tell them I sent you :) ) to ask. I know that the 300 program they have builds off of the Ashtanga primary series into the Intermediate series so it might not be ideal for you since you didn't do ashtanga or vinyasa. Just ask to double check!
Wow...so what was reaction of your parents after come back...they feel any change in with you?...pls share all about when you reach back
Hey Amanda! I am going to Rishikesh vinyasa yoga school this October for 200 hour yoga teacher training. I’m super stoked! But I am a bit worried about my way of getting to the school.. I am flying into New Delhi and then getting a ride arranged by the school from the airport to the school. It is the 6-8 hour ride that I remember you mentioning in one of your TH-cam videos. Do you think I will be safe getting this ride from the school? Thank you! 💖🙏🏻
👍👍👍👍👍🙏
i would love to go there after i finished uni!
do you need to be fit to go there? i mean I guess I have average fitness level but I tend to have trouble with endurance stuff due to heart issues. itˋs safe for me to do anything I want, I‘m just not as efficient cardiowise as other people.... so I worry a bit about being able to keep up
is it necessary to have a good fitness level before you go or do you think that wil come with time as you train?
you don't have to be fit. but you will definitely get fit! they meet you where you are at in terms of fitness levels
Your cool 🙏
U mentioned u got your tattoo in India. Was the tattoo place clean and sanitized? Would u recommend it?
Amanda, as someone who does bodybuilding to keep myself in shape and toned, how do I go about preparing for the yoga course since I’d have no access to a gym nearby or anything. I’ve spent so much time building my glutes and I’m worried they’re gonna go away once I begin my 200hr yttc. I tend to gain weight real quick if I don’t do my workouts or follow my meal plan. Any tips or advices?
glutes come and go... what is more important to you? yoga to me was such a transformative experience that transcended my bodily image. i guess it depends on what you want to spend your life focusing on
Yaa you might just have to get creative. You can do a lot with rice, water and concrete! Haha maybe you'll have to go crossfit style, but as Amanda said..maybe that's a sacrifice you can consider short term. You can always work on your glutes when you come back. You'll be doing lots of yoga in the heat and eating vegitarian/vegan so your weight should stay balanced. As far as I see, the program is about a month long so while you may lose a little glutes, if you're a body builder they shouldn't just disappear in such a short time.
Same here , grew my glutes a lot with weight lifting . But my school offers vegan diet as an alternative. We are allowed to eat out if we want . Did you end up doing it? How did you retain your muscles as much as possible?
Which month are you going back? Are you going for another 200
did I miss the part where you mentioned the second school you linked, "mantra yoga meditation"? I see they offer a meditation teacher training, does the school you went to also incorporate a meditation training either within or separate from the yoga teacher training program? :)
no you didn't! Mantra Yoga Meditation worked very closely with RVYS and they offer a meditation training - correct. RVYS focused on yoga asana training. if you want to do yoga AND meditation training i'd check out MYM.
Thank you for this informative video! Can't find you on instagram. Are you still on there?
thanks for posting this!!! I've had the same issues with my mom not wanting me to go to india LMAO but im researching different teacher training for Power Yoga- can you reccomend and courses in india that would be a power yoga like training? thanks and I love your videos!
There is nothing like Power Yoga, Goat Yoga, Wine Yoga like in THE WEST, were it's all about Money making and Fooling teaching..in West it's all about selling Few ASANAS to students , but here in INDIA, the Birthplace of YOGA, you learn the Real YOGA, when I say real, It's REAL like the ancient times..here in RISHIKESH known as YOGA CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, you literally have to go through the spiritual way to learn it as it should be..cone to INDIA and spent few months here and choose your YOGA SCHOOL in here...but come during SPRING or AUTUMN not SUMMER OR MONSOON
@@DJ-bz3fz I don't think it's really fair to say "west foolishness" since most people go to India to learn yoga then bring it back here. So literally they're doing what they were taught in India. Problem in the west is its overpriced. India is more affordable.
@@sarahmckinley2436 noo..actually many things are taught in India, but after this Kids become YOGA TEACHER and return to WEST, they Westernise it,same thing happened for KUNG FU too..it was meant different in EAST but became something different in WEST....
@@DJ-bz3fz define "westernizing it"
@@sarahmckinley2436 ALL this silly stuffs like DOG YOGA, GOAT YOGA, WINE YOGA, NUDE YOGA, then there's CHRISTIAN YOGA were there's this teachers who says doing SURYA NAMASKAR is AGAINST CHRISTIANITY and this they skip SURYA NAMASKAR as the exercise is basically SUN SALUTATION..then changing the name of ASANAS from its original name eg-SUN SALUTATION, BUTTERFLY ASANA, FROG ASANAS, etc.....some guys opened CHRISTIAN YOGA centre saying YOGA is HINDU this we Christian will do Christian YOGA were they basically do the SAME YOGA but named it Christian U OGA since they don't do OM during Exercise..If you search Google about CHRUSTIAN YOGA u will literally get to see a Book been publish about it....and there is so many things going on which is totally opposite of what YOGA is meant for....moreover in WEST most people thinks YOGA is just the Exercises only, they don't even have idea about the vastness of it....the spiritual side, the breathing techniques, CHAKRAS, DHYAAN, BHAKTI YOGA, GYAN YOGA, KARMA YOGA etc is still alien to WEST
