Gratitude From Our Students

  • I’m so happy to have found Vinay at this lovely shala. He has the most calming manner and classes are never rushed. He takes time for meditation, chants and pranayama in every session. The groups are small, many of the classes I’ve been lucky to have 1-2-1 lessons which have been uniquely tailored to my needs. Vinay is very knowledgeable and shares this in every class. As a teacher myself I’ve been very humbled to join these classes, ever grateful to be a student and value this time so much 🙏🏼

  • I am very grateful to have stumbled upon Mandvi Yoga Centre. Guru Ji is very knowledgable and extremely humble. Practicing yoga and meditation here was a big highlight of my Goa Journey! Looking forward to returning in the future to visit Mandvi Yoga again :) If you are looking to take a complete course or drop in class, this is the place.

  • Great yoga guru, awesome experience. My life has been changed through yoga thanks to guru ji. He treats me as a friend. The host and Yogi Vinay, is no doubt a master in his knowledge on Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga and is a thorough professional at his job. Apart from yoga classes, he is also a friendly person. Living in Goa for over 9 years, he would even genuinely guide you with finding accomodations around the class venue. I love his classes and I would recommend everyone around the globe to come and join this class.

  • I can highly recommend Vinay’s yoga studio! I wish I could have attended more classes during my short stay in Benaulim. Vinay is a great teacher. He advised me which positions I should practice at home to release my back pain and tensions. I still keep doing them and they help me a lot!

    — Ana Lasak

  • Vinay is a very good yoga teacher! He responds to the participants and he immediately knows which problems can be eliminated through yoga. I really enjoyed the lessons. After the yoga class we all felt happy and liberated. Thanks alot. I'm really looking forward to being able to take part in your lessons again next year. Kind regards from Germany and all the best.

  • I enjoyed attending Vinay's 7.45am classes several times while I was staying in Benaulim for 10 days. He adjusted the classes according to who was present each day, and always provided a satisfying, varied class with time for pranayama and savasana. Thanks, Vinay, for your clear instruction and deep knowledge of yoga.

  • It was really great to find this gem, As I have seen lots of fancy and overpriced Yoga Centres, however it's totally different and good value for your money. I'll definitely recommend Yogi raj for his personal classes and even group classes as well. It will really helpful for your body to get fit and flexible.

  • I had the opportunity to join a few yoga classes at Mandvi Yoga whilst staying near Benaulim recently. Vinay proved to be a very experienced and knowledgeable instructor. Each class we performed various yoga poses, stretches and balance exercises, alongside meditation and breathing techniques, both of which I found particularly useful. I would highly recommend and encourage anyone staying in the area to visit Mandvi Yoga, whether a beginner or more experienced student, you will find a welcoming environment and enjoy a great experience!

  • I enjoyed morning yoga with Vinay so much! It gives you and your body such a refreshment for the day, the classes always vary so you will have each day to learn something new, new asanas/ ew postures. It will suite you wether you are a beginner or have good experience in yoga 🧘‍♂️. I strongly recommend everyone to start yoga here with Vinay or, if you have some experience to try go deeper in meditation also.

  • I had enrolled my self at Mandvi Yoga for two months and it has been a great experience filled with learnings and knowledge. My trainer has been very supportive, motivating and kind and he ensured to teach me the art of yoga in a way I'll never forget it. I had never realised the importance of yoga and it's techniques until I joined the sessions here at Mandvi and I am extremely happy with the excellent training received from the instructors and 100 percent recommended to those who are looking to heal through yoga or wishes to learn the art of practising Yoga.

Every pose is tailored to each person’s flexibility and ability! The breathing and meditation is a joy listening to Vinays calming voice! I will miss these classes ! Thank you 🙏🏾

  • Vinay Sharma is one of the most amazing, instinctive yoga instructors I know. I met him over 5 years ago when visiting Goa and since taking my first ever yoga lesson with him, I never looked back. Over the years I have have had many lessons with Vinay, face to face and online. He helped me work on problematic issues and tailored the yoga session with accordingly. Vinay communicates very well and knows how to understand people unconditionally. I am more intune with myself, more aware and understanding of my physical abilities. I highly recommend Vinay for anyone wanting to try Yoga for the first time or enhance their current yoga ability to take to a higher level.

    — Jitesh Mistry

  • As an older lady I was dubious about joining a yoga class. I was very impressed from the first session with Vinay's approach and the way he tailors the contents of the lesson. He demonstrates and explains the activities in an informative way. I really enjoy and feel the benefits of yoga with Vinay .

    — Eileen Rea

  • Vinay is a wonderful yoga and meditation teacher! He adapted classes to suit exactly what I wanted and needed and allowed me to return every day! I feel big improvements in both my yoga and meditation practices and I am taking away new techniques to practice daily. Vinay is also very kind and makes you feel comfortable! Highly recommend!

  • A very knowledgeable yoga instructor with an incredible personality. The attention to detail while his yoga classes are immaculate. Yoga curriculum is as per an individual's need. Mr. Vinay Sharma is a gem of a person. I would recommend him to everyone with any sort of health issues.

  • Dear Vinay ji, Thank you for a wonderful experience. I have suffered with lower back pains for most of my life, and through this amazing yoga journey I am finally finding some relief. It is a long process, but Vinay ji is a patient and considerate teacher. He has fantastic knowledge and provides a sound, effective method of learning. For all, whether experienced or a complete beginner, like myself, take time to come and visit this oasis in Benaulim - there is nowhere else in South Goa offering such warmth.

    — Arvin Sharma

  • The founder of this place, Vinay Sir, is an amazing person and genuine yogi. Have been taking yoga training from him since a month and it has been transformational for me, on both physical and spiritual levels. Going to continue for another month! He has deep knowledge of yoga asanas as well as theoretical and experiental knowledge of meditation. He helps design a customised yoga routine for individual body and mental requirements which is of great benefit. Apart from that, he's a great mentor, friend and person. Without a doubt, can recommend this place for anyone looking for a truly authentic yoga experience!

    — Rishabh Garbhava

  • I have been going to Mandvi for 2 months and have found it to be excellent. The small classes are tailored to your age, experience and physical condition. Guruji is very thorough and explains the health benefits of each excercise and his calm, gentle nature leaves you feeling both physically and mentally improved. I highly recommend Mandvi as a yoga and meditation centre.

  • I have just finished my first 12 sessions with Neeraj. I have had surgery on my knee and shoulder and he has put together a program which suits my body. At first I was sceptical, but now I can move better, breathe better and sleep better. I recommend Mandvi 100%. Thank you. 🙏
