YogaMea School (Rys 200, 300, 500 - Yoga Alliance) in Italy

Davide Bedetti and Timea Vitez established YogaMea School in 2013 to conduct Yoga Retreats and Teacher Training courses in Italy and India. We collaborate with a Rishikesh Mother School, with the support of Starlim India, a Yoga agency. YogaMea School’s 200-Hour intensive Hatha Yoga Teacher Training programs in Italy are heavily sought after by yoga enthusiasts from all over the world who are committed to becoming yoga instructors.

With over thirty-five courses completed over the last six years in Italy, Rishikesh and Goa, India, YogaMea School has had a wonderful experience. We at YogaMea School feel fortunate to have the support of our colleagues and friends in Rishikesh.

YogaMea School in Rishikesh

Often referred to as the birthplace of Yoga, Rishikesh is the premiere destination for thousands of Yoga enthusiasts who are eager to experience this noble, ancient discipline. Rishikesh is located in north India between the Ganga River and in the foothills of the Himalayan mountain range, and offers a variety of yoga teacher training programs: RYS 200, RYS 300, and RYS 500 hours. This is where YogaMea School found its beginning…we dreamed of bringing life-changing programs to others. Staying true to the authentic essence of Yoga as close to what was taught by the ancient Mystics of ancient India. Our intention is to share a similar genuine, traditional feel of the birthplace of Yoga by delivering similar styles of teaching to those in place in India, particularly, Hatha Yoga.

Our Vision - YogaMea School (Rys 200, 300, 500)

YogaMea School’s goal was, and still is, to bring to Europe a workable alternative to those who can’t, or don’t necessarily want to visit the foothills of the Himalayas. YogaMea School promises the same level of attention and quality for the teaching and training of its students, offering the same benefits as would be obtained in Rishikesh. Our vision is to spread the awareness of holistic living under the guidance of Vedic wisdom through Yoga, Meditation and Ayurveda.

Twenty years ago I had a life-changing car accident. My cervical spine and knee were damaged. Instead of opting for medicine and going to the hospital, I started practicing yoga. Nothing in life is a coincidence. Everything happens for a reason. I believe the car accident happened for me to move towards yoga. - Timea Vitez
