YogaMea School in Rishikesh

Known as the birthplace of Yoga, Rishikesh is the primary destination for tens of thousands of Yoga enthusiasts who are eager to experience this noble and ancient discipline. Rishikesh is located in northern India overlooking the sacred Ganga River, at the foot of the Himalayan mountain range, where it offers a variety of Yoga teacher training programs: RYS 200, RYS 300, and RYS 500 hours. This is where YogaMea School found its beginning. We dreamed of bringing life-changing programs to others, to do so we decided to stay true to the authenticity of Yoga, starting precisely from what has been passed down to us by the mystics of ancient India. Our intention is to share a genuine feeling, taking inspiration from this magnificent place, which is the place where it all began; here Yoga came to the public's attention, here its birth is told; here it is where today, millennia later, different interpretations, mutations, and evolutions of the discipline meet; but it is also the land of tradition, and we at YogaMea remain true to the origin by starting with the Hatha Yoga style.

We dreamed of bringing life-changing programs, staying true to the authenticity of Yoga and to what has been passed down by the mystics of ancient India.

The Origins

Bringing Vedic wisdom to Europe

The goal of YogaMea School was, and still is, to bring a viable alternative to Europe for those who cannot or do not necessarily want to visit the foothills of the Himalayas. YogaMea School promises the same level of attention and quality for the teaching and training of its students, offering the same benefits that one would obtain in Rishikesh. Our vision is to spread awareness of holistic living under the guidance of Vedic wisdom through Yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda.

Twenty years ago, I had a life-changing car accident. My cervical spine and knee were damaged. I believe the accident was my opportunity to get closer to Yoga.

Our Community

A community where students can return to teach and create their own workshops, with a traditional approach of returning to the origins.

She successfully healed from her injuries and began a life dedicated to yoga, traveling to India to immerse herself in the studies that formed the foundation of her extensive teaching experience.

Her passion for sharing her knowledge of Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Hatha yoga with new and experienced yoga practitioners is contagious. Consequently, in addition to being loved and respected in the yoga community, she has been called one of the best international yoga teachers.
