Büşra YıldızTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely love this yoga studio! The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and the teachers are so kind and knowledgeable. Every class leaves me feeling refreshed, centered, and full of positive energy. Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve both body and mind!♥️Posted on Meghna SarkarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. While visiting Heidelberg I attended a session at true yoga and it was amazing. The whole environment was so positive and I immediately felt connected. Teacher Manoj was patient, encouraging and took time to correct our posture for a better outcome. He is vastly knowledgeable and shares it with us which makes it all the more meaningful. The session was perfectly balanced which made me physically relaxed and energized at the same time. I felt more lighter and calmer throughout the day. Teacher Manoj is really passionate in what he teaches and i hope i can visit true yoga again soon. I highly recommend this place for everyone.Posted on shruthi sridharTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been attending classes at True Yoga and can confidently say it is an exceptional yoga studio. The environment is serene, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed to foster relaxation and focus. The instructors are highly skilled, professional, and attentive to individual needs, offering modifications and guidance with care and expertise. Each session especially with Instructor Manoj has contributed positively to both my physical well-being and mental clarity. I greatly appreciate the welcoming and respectful atmosphere cultivated by the staff. I highly recommend True Yoga to anyone seeking a high-quality and enriching yoga experience.Posted on Gloria MeleghyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sehr freundlich & spielerisch angeleitete Yogakurse für Kinder. Manoj holt die Kinder mit ihren Fähigkeiten und Vorkenntnissen ab, wo sie sind und führt sie kindgerecht an die Grundlagen des Yoga, wie den Sonnengruß, Meditation und Atemübungen, heran. Jedes Kind erhält dabei individuelle Aufmerksamkeit. Die Kinder haben dabei Spaß und Raum und Zeit, sich bewusst mit sinnvollen Übungen für Körper und Geist auseinanderzusetzen. Ich kann es allen Kindern & Eltern wärmstens weiterempfehlen. ☺️🧘🏽♀️Posted on Alexander OstergaardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great lesson! Clean, fun and relaxing!Posted on Anna StorchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started with a Trial Pass in december last year, after I joined a free meditation-event at the studio. I wanted to start to move my body again after a heavy episode of a chronical illness, and fight the back pain that comes with a desk job (and hunching my back over books and papers). Self-teaching via YouTube wasn't enough for me anymore. More important: What I found wasn't just a "sport" that helped my health (of course Yoga does that too, tremendously so), but I found a place where I could learn to rest and heal, where I found friends and a community that feels like coming home, and where I leave after a session with newfound peace and strength (and sore muscles lol) Thank you for your guidance and warmth, you all. 🙏Posted on Veronica WalterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. True Yoga is very authentic. Yoga helped me realize on an physical and emotional Level how much Stress I was exposed to. Manoy and the other teachers are Great and I always Look forward to the classes as an escape of my busy day.Posted on Rreze QerretiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose True Yoga because it gave me a very positive feeling when I first visited the studio. The warm welcome made me feel instantly part of the group. With my prior knowledge of yoga, I immediately experienced a sense of unity and connection during the session. It’s not just about the practice or your skill level, but about feeling comfortable and confident in the place where you choose to be, allowing your body and mind to feel safe and calm. If you are seeking change, I believe you will first find calmness and trust here and then discover the deeper purpose within yourself.Posted on Dr. Soumya Ranjan MohapatraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. True Yoga Heidelberg is a welcoming and peaceful space that offers an exceptional yoga experience. The studio has a calming atmosphere, and all the instructors (especially Manoj) are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, each class is thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are and help you grow. The variety of styles—from dynamic flows to restorative sessions—ensures there’s something for everyone. What truly sets True Yoga apart is the sense of community and mindfulness it fosters. Every class leaves me feeling centered, refreshed, and inspired. The attention to both physical alignment and inner stillness creates a beautifully balanced practice. I’m so grateful to have found this studio and couldn’t recommend it more highly.Posted on KathinkaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Manoj teaches really true from his heart. The classes have a beautiful atmosphere with lots of calmness which makes it easy to focus on the yoga practice 🧘🏽♀️Posted on Showing our latest reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

True Yoga Studio teaches a method inspired by Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga traditions, adapted intelligently for modern life.
Our classes focus on precise breathing, balanced posture, mental awareness, and nervous system regulation. The practice is calm, structured, and sustainable — not fitness-oriented or performance-driven.
Yes. Many students start with little or no yoga experience.
Classes are taught in small groups, with clear guidance and options. You do not need to be flexible or fit. The practice builds gradually, with attention to breath, alignment, and confidence.
We recommend starting with the 14-Day Trial Pass.
It can be both — depending on the class.
Hatha-based and therapy-style classes are slower and more grounding.
Ashtanga-inspired classes are more dynamic, structured, and strength-building.
All classes share the same foundation: breath awareness, balanced effort, and mental clarity.
Yes. This is one of the main reasons people come to True Yoga Studio.
Our method supports the nervous system through:
conscious breathing
steady rhythm
balanced posture
reduced performance pressure
Many students report feeling calmer, sleeping better, and coping more clearly with daily stress over time.
Yes.
Many of our students come with back, neck, or shoulder discomfort from sitting, screen work, or stress. Classes focus on posture awareness, pelvic stability, and balanced movement.
If you have pain or injuries, teachers offer modifications and guidance.
At True Yoga, both are part of one method.
Hatha Yoga provides the foundation — alignment, breath, awareness, and stability.
Ashtanga Yoga adds rhythm, structure, and breath-led movement.
We do not teach rigid or competitive Ashtanga. Principles are adapted progressively and accessibly.
Classes are taught primarily in English, with simple German support when needed.
True Yoga Studio welcomes international students and expats living in Heidelberg and the Rhein-Neckar area.
Classes are intentionally small, usually 6–10 people.
This allows for:
personal guidance
individual adjustments
a calm, focused atmosphere
We do not run crowded classes.
The best way to start is the 14-Days Welcome Trial Pass (€39).
It allows you to:
try different classes

You can explore options on the Passes & Memberships page.
No.
Flexibility is not a requirement — it is something that develops naturally with consistent practice. Our focus is on awareness, balance, and stability, not extreme poses.
Absolutely.
Many students return to yoga after a long break. Classes are structured so you can rebuild gently and safely, without pressure.
For most people:
1× per week helps maintain balance
