Student Experiences — From the Online Version of This Training

  • Hi, I’m Sandra from Munich. I recently completed the Pranayama & Breathwork Teacher Training with Aayush from Moola Yoga and I am more than grateful. He helped me become a better student and truly understand what it means to be present with oneself. His knowledge, patience, and empathy make him a special teacher. He explains complex topics clearly and gently, guides me back into my comfort zone when needed. He’s direct yet sensitive, emphasizing continuous effort and growth rather than perfection. Aayush showed me how to create a personal roadmap to freedom by sensing, listening and understanding my feelings the right way. He is a teacher the world truly needs. I feel honored to be his student and I am already in the next training with him. Highly recommended! ❤️ Love & Light

    Sandra Sambara

  • I just finished my online pranayama teacher training and could not be more happy to have done it with Aaayush and his yoga school. Aaayush as a teacher combines deep knowledge, with so much passion and patience. He does not rush through things but is highly interested in really supporting you to rather integrate your pranayama practice than rather just concerning about the certificate. His way of teaching is just calming and supportive, brining across the essence of the most important concepts rather than just flushing students with too much information. In general the structure of the course really helps you to develop your own practice and combine it with theoretical insights. with the online videos you can go your own pace during the week and on the weekends we combined live practices with theory classes where Aayush was always very interested in hearing about our experiences. He was often challenging us in observing ourselves and really going deep. Thank you for emobdying what you teach, dear Aaayush.. I can highly recommend this course.

    Sarah Maus

  • I recently attended a pranayama course with Aayush, and it was an incredible experience. Aayush was extremely attentive and professional throughout the entire process. Not only did I learn about the importance of proper breathing techniques, but I also noticed a significant improvement in my meditation practice. What’s even more amazing is that the techniques I learned have also helped my friends who struggle with insomnia and anxiety. I highly recommend Aayush’s course to anyone, whether for personal growth or to support the well-being of those around you. It’s truly a transformative and valuable learning experience!

    Tiffany

  • I am grateful that I had the opportunity to take the Breath Work and Pranayama Online Teacher Training with Aayush. He is a gifted and patient teacher. His perspective is authentic and refreshing. I’ll admit, at first I was hesitant to take an online course for a breath work based teacher training. I am so glad that I put those hesitations aside and took the training. The format he used was perfect for learning at your own pace from your location. And the twice a week in person online classes gave me the opportunity to have the connection that I was looking for from a breath work class. I recommend this training to anyone that would like to teach breath work or to expand on incorporating breath work into their classes and also to deepen their practice for themselves.

    Maria Williamson

  • The Pranayama teacher training with Aayush was a unique experience. A path of deep knowledge and practice that opened me up to new ways of being. Aayush is a unique teacher, kind and firm at the same time. Available, competent, a river of love. His teaching is profound and simple in its modalities, accessible and very informative.

    Claudia Esposito

  • Aayush and I first met in 2019 during the Yoga Teacher Training course in India. It was an incredible experience, with four weeks of growth, learning, and sharing. I had a feeling we would cross paths again, and it happened during his 30-Hour Breathwork & Pranayama TTC. Aayush is a young, skilled teacher. He has high potential and a wonderful teaching style that is accessible and practical for everyone-weather you're a teacher looking to refine your methods or someone simply wanting to learn how to breathe correctly.

    Ana Georgievska

  • Aayush is an incredible teacher. He is patient yet encouraging, and has a great eye for detail. He helps beginners find their balance, breath, and strength within, but also pushes his advanced students to a point that everyone excels in his classes no matter their level. His own determination to personally advance in his practice is infectious and encourages his students to succeed inside and outside the shala. I highly recommend Aayush for his vast knowledge, his meticulous skills, and his positive teaching style.
