Ruh Yoga

About Us

Ruh Yoga is a Yoga Alliance-registered school with locations in Goa (Agonda) and Bali, offering a variety of Yoga Teacher Training Courses (TTC) including 100-hour, 200-hour, and 300-hour programs, along with immersive yoga retreats. Founded on two core principles, Ruh Yoga believes that yoga must be practical and approachable to anyone, and that if you can breathe, you can practice yoga.

Our mission is to provide high-quality, reliable yoga teacher certification through both offline and online training, while ensuring each student’s experience is personal, authentic, and transformative. With a holistic approach, Ruh Yoga nurtures the body, mind, and spirit, helping students achieve balance, flexibility, and overall wellness.

Our Approach
At Ruh Yoga, we believe yoga is a personal experience. The body is our home, and regular practice of Asana (physical postures), Pranayama (breathwork), and Dhyana (meditation) brings harmony to both body and mind. Our classes are designed to help students cultivate mindfulness, inner strength, and a deep understanding of yoga as a lifelong practice.

Our Vision
We aim to make yoga a practical and accessible experience for everyone seeking balance, regardless of age, profession, or experience level. Our courses are suitable for homemakers, working professionals, artists, dancers, and yoga enthusiasts who want to deepen their personal practice, as well as those aspiring to become certified yoga teachers.
