Kailash Tribal School of Yoga & Holistic Healing - Dharamshala

The ten weeks I spent studying yoga with Yogi Sivadas was one of the best experiences of my life. The class schedule and yogic practices we learnt set up a solid foundation for new healthy habits to incorporate into my regular life. The knowledge Yogi imparts on his students is invaluable. I left feeling confident in my newly acquired teaching skills and the in-depth knowledge on all aspects of the yogic lifestyle. You are given multiple opportunities to teach and with each class you are able to feel your confidence building and the teaching techniques becoming more clear and comfortable. I didn’t intend to become a yoga teacher; I simply wanted to connect with my own practice on a deeper level, and I left having accomplished both my main goal and the unexpected goal. I believe that any level of experienced yoga practitioner will benefit from studying with Yogi Sivadas. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Spending a month at Kailash Yoga School for the teacher training with Yogi SivaDas has been one of the most life changing & unforgettable experiences to date. It flipped a switch in my own psyche on which has allowed alot of joy & bliss to prosper within. What I really wanted from a YTT was to delve into what Yoga really was, aside from the western view/approach, & that is exactly what this school provided me. Yogi SivaDas exceeded any expectation I had for a teacher. He has so much knowledge & personal experience of understanding this life from an existential viewpoint that makes him an incredible person to learn from. So very grateful for you & your school <3 Hope to return to the Himalayas one day soon!

In 2016 I first made my 200hr and I realize that I want to keep learning so I stay for 300hr more. completing my 500hrs in Kailash Tribal School. Yogi Sivadas is a really nice person, very wise teacher. He help me with everything, any question, He was there to give me an answer. It was a very nice experience, very complete. Now I have been teaching yoga classes for more than 1 year and I have to be very thankful with everything that Yogi teach me.

I enrolled my first Reiki class with the school.The class is awesome! Mr Yogi Sivadass spoke very clearly and was very knowledgeable and patient. I enjoyed the class. I feel really good and had experienced positive changes after the Reiki initiation. I thoroughly recommend Yogi Sivadass. He is experienced in what he does and on top of that, is a wonderful and kind human being. Thank you Sir so much.

Great balance of physical and spiritual development! My journey to holistic life started years ago and Kailash Tribal school of yoga plays a huge and important role in that. Sivadas is a great teacher with incredible experience and wisdom, who guides and supports you in your journey rather than pushing and imposing a guru-style order. He helps you believe in yourself, take on responsibility for your own actions not only in yoga practice, but in life. I took Yoga Teacher training, Reiki, Sound healing and this experience serves me well in my wellbeing, family life and business development. It's been one of those transformational experiences that brought me closer to who I am and gave me clarity of what kind of life I want to be living. I strongly recommend this school whether you are beginner or advanced in yoga, whether you are curious or resistant to change - Sivadas will help you start from where you are and move to where you want to be!

After years of dreaming of doing my YTT in India, I not only finally completed it, but I just so happened to luckily find all I ever wanted in a school, teacher, and training. Yogi Sivadas is one of the most humble and sincere teachers I’ve had the pleasure of being in the presence of, and his wisdom and intellect are astounding. This course was much more than a yoga teacher training, it could be argued that you also receive a course in philosophy, anthropology, Indian history, metaphysics, ayurvedic science, world religions, anatomy, biology and so much more. This course is a realistic and practical approach to incorporating yoga into your everyday life, whether it’s through Ayurvedic diet or poses to counteract the stress we put our bodies through. Yoga Sivadas helped to me to transform how I think and act on and off the mat, and I give him my utmost gratitude! Also, if you’re looking for a power yoga oriented school where you will come out doing crazy backbends and handstands, and simply want a fun course where you get a certificate at the end, this program may not be for you (Nothing wrong with that either, but I could see how young sociable people may be disappointed). Yogi Sivada’s course is holistic and challenging based on much more than just Asanas, the methodology and lectures will encourage you to change your overall mental and physical programming with proper dedication (Sivadas doesn’t hold your hand or babysit you, he simply gives you the tools and knowledge to do so). I recommend this course for people who are very serious about yoga and looking to make lasting changes in their lives, yet lots of prior yogic experience isn’t necessary as he teaches from the ground up with much patience. Also, I know the part of food not being included could be a negative, as it was for me while choosing, however I am happy it was this way as it gives you the chance to begin to prepare food that will best serve you and your needs based on Ayurvedic principles, that way you can bring those new habits home when you go instead of being accustomed to having all done for you as many trainings do. Also, the room and center are probably some of the best I’ve stayed in so far, clean, simple and in a perfect location to get acquainted with India. If you’re undecided and overwhelmed with the infinite YTT options (choosing a school is really difficult with the unlimited choices these days!), I can assure you this school won’t let you down. This program is professional, organized, authentic, conducive to self-healing and worth every cent spent. One of the best life decisions I’ve ever made, I deeply thank you Yogi Sivadas for absolutely everything! Hope to come back someday soon for my 300 hour!

Authentic high quality yoga school and teacher. Complete the 200 hour teacher training course at Kailash Yoga school after doing extensive research about the available course in Dharamshala. From the moment I first met Yogi Sivadas I knew that I would do the training with him. He teaches his courses with compassion and is dedicated to provide the best service to all of his students. He encourages constructive discussions during all the classes and really takes the time to answer every question from the students. The accommodations are also great with a gorgeous view over the valley. I ended up doing the Reiki master course as well as the sound bowl healing as well. It was truly a transformative experience and I am very grateful for Yogi Sivadas hard work and dedication. Hopefully I will be able to come back for the 300 hour course next year. Namaste

I initially went to Kailash Tribal School to learn more about sound healing. The first day there was absolutely beyond anything I had experienced before. The knowledge and perspective was so new and so fresh I decided to do my Reiki master level course with Yogi Sivadas too. Yogi Sivadas's knowledge and perspective is almost unparalleled. Not only does he have oceans of wisdom to share, he is very easily able to adapt it to each student. Over the next month I completed my sound healing, master level Reiki and a course on Ayurveda as well. The learning I was able to imbibe inspired me to do my Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Yogi Sivadas, and it was life changing. The discussions and dialogue that are made possible by Yogi Sivadas are beyond words. Smaller groups allow for a lot more face-time to ask questions and engage in a lot more discussions. The experience I had at the school has changed my life for the better, forever. I've been able to apply my learnings to my everyday life, as well as to my practice. Using the techniques I have learnt and constantly honing them has enabled me to go so far beyond I thought I was capable of doing. Yogi Sivadas will take you on a journey so far into yourself and far out into the cosmos, into the infinite, to finally reveal they are one and the same, this understanding will propel you into dimensions beyond anything you've ever experienced. This has made me appreciate myself and life so much more, giving me a joy I had never felt before. My experience at Kailash was absolutely priceless, and words almost do not suffice to explain how I feel after having completed my studies there. I offer my deepest gratitude to Yogi Sivadas for all that he taught me, and I do recommend Kailash Tribal School as a must for anyone who is truly serious about a spiritual and yoga oriented approach to life.
