Drishti Vinyasa Yoga Shala — Local services in Shanghai

I have been practicing at Drishti since 2017 (2 years now) and most recently, completed a 200-Hour TTC there. There is no facade about Drishti. The environment is a combination of casual, spiritual, and technical. All the teachers are serious about teaching proper techniques, breathing, and form. I like that the average class size is around 5 to 10. Rajeev, the main teacher at Drishti, is incredible with adjustments and creates some of the most beautiful, well-balanced vinyasa sequences I have ever flowed. As someone from the U.S., I was not used to being adjusted so this place was a nice change. It was so important for me to feel how poses are deepened and aligned properly.

From the bottom of my heart, I recommend this place to anyone who is looking to try yoga or deepen their practice. It is a place that will teach you foundation. I have learned so much more than I could have ever imagined, not just about asanas or breathing, but about myself and how I interact with others. I’m more humble, forgiving, and understanding because of this place and for that, I am forever grateful to all my teachers there.

I was deeply saddened to read some of the comments regarding members being touched inappropriately. I cannot speak for them but as a member who regularly practices at the studio 4 times a week I can say honestly that I have never experienced or felt anything of the sort from any of the teachers at Drishti in the two years that I have been with the studio. Keep an open-mind and allow yourself...

I am so grateful to have found this oasis of peace in this chaotic city that is Shanghai. Coming here feels like coming home: to my breath, to me. Practitioners here are sincere seekers of the path of yoga, and the teachers are knowledgeable, serious and kind. I’m especially appreciative to my teacher Rajeev whose classes are strong, inspirational, challenging, yet light and fun at the same time. He believes in all of us and makes us believe in ourselves. “Don’t give up” “You can do it” are his key words, and it’s now etched in my mind as I practice. I always leave feeling motivated, rejuvenated, and at ease. I’m currently doing my TTC here and our program is one that I never want to end because I’m learning so much every single day and loving every precious moment that me and my very lovely classmates get to spend absorbing all the knowledge and information that Rajeev shares with such generosity and wisdom. Highly recommended, for...

"A rain drop from the sky: if it is caught by clean hands, is pure enough for drinking. If it falls in the gutter, its value drops so much that it can't be used even for washing your feet. If it falls on a hot surface, it will evaporate. If it falls on a lotus leaf, it shines like a pearl and finally, if it falls on an oyster, it becomes a pearl. The drop is the same, but its existence & worth depends on who it is associated with". Always be associated with people who are good at heart. You will experience your own inner transformation" - Swami Vivekananda - Our teachers in here are well reputed and well trained. None of them crosses their limits and boundaries with any practitioners. But, few of them just want to revenge the way which they think satisfactory. The students who know about Drishti they stands and they shows their...
