His deep understanding of Saatvik food sets Chef Sunil apart—a concept rooted in yogic philosophy emphasising purity, balance, and nourishment. With meticulous care, he curates a menu that complements the students' yoga practice, incorporating seasonal produce, whole grains, and spices known for their healing properties.

Chef Sunil inspires yoga teacher training, elevating the dining experience to a sublime and harmonious union of taste, health, and consciousness. His culinary creations serve as a reminder that food can be a conduit for self-care and a catalyst for personal transformation. As the students savour their Saatvik meals, they are grateful for Chef Sunil's culinary artistry's profound impact on their journey towards becoming enlightened yogis.
"Be it vegan, gluten-free, food without spices, or if you have any specific food requirement, you are served what you are comfortable consuming. The best part at Upasana Yoga School is you eat organic fruits and vegetables, freshly sourced from our farms
and then cooked by our fantastic chef. When our students eat healthy and fresh, the energy they absorb through " food is helpful in their training."

The atmosphere is spiritual and tranquil & the most important thing is that everyone is helpful and will always greet you with a warm welcome. But it is always advisable to stay informed and attentive to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
The food quality is excellent at our school premises, and you get to drink filtered or distilled water. We take premium care when it comes to the health and hygiene of our students. There is absolutely no compromise.

You can keep it aesthetic; you can keep it classy! We
recommend our students wear traditional or comfortable
clothes on the school premises, but we have a slight
restriction on wearing short or seamless attire because it

feel free to wear anything.
Feel free to join the course if the injury is not severe and prolonged. But we advise you to only take the course if you feel completely healthy.
