I feel very greateful that I could take part at least at couple yoga classes with Joseph. He is highly knowledgable and skilled and has very kind yet motivating way of giving a yoga class. Whatever level of yoga you have, Im sure you would enjoy and benefit from Joseph's class. Also his son is very skilled yoga teacher. I hope to come back and practice again here. Thank you🙏

Pranam Yoga Joseph was recommended to me by a friend as "the absolute best place to improve your Yoga practice". So after spending 4 weeks with Joseph, Joyal and Witta for the 200hrs TTC I can definately say my friend was right! They are wonderful teachers for asanas, who pay a lot of attention to every individual student according to their strengths & weaknesses. Within just 4 weeks I invredibly improved my flexibility and strength, finally mastering ananas I've never been able to do before & thinking I probably never will. I also got to learn a lot about my own body in terms of shortcomings and how to properly work on them. Through their advice and practice I even got rid of a muscular injury of mine that has been bothering me for about a year (!). The atmosphere of their Yoga classes is amazing and feels like family - also due to the small groups! Also I'd like to mention that also the teachers for Pranayama, Ayurveda, Philosophy were excellent. Plus the place is really nice, with great rooms, amazing food (!!!). I will definately come back 🙂

I participated in the 200 hour TTC here and while I have nothing else to compare it to, I highly recommend this yoga teacher training. The class sizes are small and you get direct attention from Joseph and Joy and other teachers. It’s easy to bond with your classmates because it’s such a small group. The accommodation was stellar, it exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing and they even took requests! The schedule was intense and while some improvement could be made on the content of the philosophy classes, the curriculum was very well rounded and holistic. I appreciated what felt like an authentic training in India. As for the yoga, be ready to be challenged! I would consider myself a “medium” level practitioner (not a beginner but I didn’t practice every day) and the classes were extremely challenging. But I also saw so much improvement over the month. It was a daily mental and physical challenge that I started out not enjoying and ended up being grateful for. I hope to come back to Varkala and practice with Joseph again some day.

I practiced with Joseph and his son while I was in Varkala for a couple of days. Best Hatha class of my life. Asanas are amazingly taught and Joseph's adjustments are incredible.

Une superbe expérience. Des professeurs au top, présents, attentifs (même si certains cours parfois un peu long et plus ou moins en lien avec le yoga). Un chouette lieu proche de la mer. A recommander pour un enseignement de qualité. Merci. Merci.
