Haridas was excellent. My girlfriend has done a lot of yoga and thought his class was challenging but enjoyable. He is a great teacher - encouraging people of different standards in the class. Inhale deeply and exhale completely... A great experience all in all!

I visited Varkala in January 2012. There are so many choices for yoga in Varkala, but after visiting one class with another instructor, I immediately started asking around for a good teacher. That is how I came across Hari. Instead of finding a good teacher, I found an excellent teacher!! I felt so comfortable with my first class with Hari.... More

I have been going back to Varkala now for the past two years in order to be able to practice in Haridas's classes but mainly for me is to learn from him and be able to pass on his wealth of knowledge and experience in teaching onto my own students back in England. I feel privileged and honoured to have... More

I spent 2 weeks at Sivananda ashram before heading to Varkala beach. When I saw that there was a Sivananda class close to my hotel, I jumped at the chance to continue my practice in between lounging at the beach all day. The class sizes are small, there was never more than 4 of us in the morning (8am) or... More

So nice to have a dip in the tepid Arabian Sea - loved the diversity of cultures on the beach - yoga, meditation, fishing, beach volley ball and only a short distance to the cafes and shops up on the cliff

Hari's yoga classes are by far the best in Varkala. During my four months stay I regularly went to his classes. His has extensive experience and carefully helps and corrects the postures if neccesary. There are other yoga places in Varkala and I have tried them all but Hari's is the best place. He has classes both in the morning... More

I've been practicing yoga for many years with a wide range of instructors and can safely say that taking classes with Hari rates among my favorite yoga experiences. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled, but utilizes a "less is more" philosophy. He provides enough instruction so that students at all levels can follow the class, but allows plenty of time...

I spent 2 weeks in India for Ayurvedic treatment. And every morning I went to Hary's Yoga class. I was so thankful for that. He is a taff and amazing teacher. I learned a lot. And it was so good for my body and mind. He inspired me. Thank you Hary!!!
