Varun has trained hundreds of students from across the world to become certified yoga teachers. His courses — from the 50-hour foundation programme to the 300-hour advanced training — are built on the premise that yoga is not only asana. Philosophy, pranayama, anatomy, meditation, and the ethics of teaching are woven through every level.
“Practice yoga asana every day, at least an hour, and fifteen minutes of meditation and pranayama. Practising yoga has made me a very energetic and enthusiastic person.”

“Stepping into Yoga Om Nirvana feels like stepping into a sanctuary — a place where the chaos of the outside world dissolves, and you are guided back to your true self. From the moment I arrived, I felt the warmth and sincerity of the teachers, especially Varun Ji. They don't just instruct; they embody yoga in the way they move, speak, and hold space. Every class is thoughtfully sequenced, blending traditional yogic wisdom with a modern understanding of the body and mind. Whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced practitioner, the teachers meet you exactly where you are with patience, compassion, and encouragement. In just a short time, I felt my body open, my mind quiet, and my heart expand. More than a school, Yoga Om Nirvana is a community that nurtures growth, healing, and transformation.”

“For me it's the third time spending a longer amount of time (couple weeks) in a yoga school and it's definitely the best. The school is located in very calm surroundings in the Himalayan mountains, I had an incredible view from my room. The owner is a very caring and kind person and at the same time a very skilled and knowledgeable teacher. I will miss his power Vinyasa & Ashtanga classes. Due to his experience he knows what's going wrong in other schools and tries to fix those problems here which makes a unique experience. Many yoga schools exist to have a business. This one is about sharing knowledge and living the yogic lifestyle. So if you're looking for a fast or cheap way to get your YTT certificate don't come here. If you want to earn it, this is the place to be. Also: food here is amazing.”

“Before choosing where to study, I asked a friend who had already completed a YTT course and had been to India several times. Without any hesitation, he recommended Varun. I met someone with a huge heart, a true professional who is deeply passionate about what he does. Varun is incredibly patient, genuinely cares about the needs of his students, and has built an outstanding team of experienced and highly skilled teachers who deliver both the theory and the practice at an exceptionally high level. From the warm welcome by Varun, who personally showed me my room and the yoga studio, to the beautiful traditional opening ceremony, the three delicious meals every day, and finally the unforgettable graduation ceremony, where we received our certificates in a small temple in the mountains — it was truly an empowering and unforgettable experience. If you want the entire journey to be smooth, professional, and meaningful, choose Varun.”

“Varun is an amazing teacher! The course was an incredible experience. We learned so much, practiced every day, and each of the teachers was truly professional. Varun was always thoughtful and attentive to everyone's needs, and he created such a warm, respectful, and supportive space for everyone. I highly recommend this 200-hour teacher training course to anyone who wants to become a yoga teacher or simply deepen their knowledge.”

“Varun is an amazing teacher (and I have been teaching yoga for 16 years) and above all an amazing, warm and charming person. Thorough and professional. Head and shoulders above the others here in the area. Highly recommend with all my heart.”

“I did a YTTC at Yoga Om Nirvana. The main teacher is Varun — he is an amazing teacher, very professional and talented, and also an amazing person and very kind. We learned pranayama, Hatha yoga, Ashtanga vinyasa yoga and a lot of kinds of meditation. It was a professional and serious course, but also so funny and good energy!”
