I completely agree! Thank you all so much for this very good information, it has already made me feel more confident about my journey, and I’m sure others will benefit from reading this as well. Thanks so much!
Namaste.
Some more tips from one who was born in Pune, equidistanced from Mumbai and Nasik. The local language there is Marathi, my mothertongue.
As compared to many cities, you are going to a relatively much safer place. It would take upto 4 hours by cab from Mumbai. This being your first visit, it would be good to have someone with you. But, you can as well book a cab from Mumbai airport itself where there will be co-travellers (mostly Indians living in the USA) and the cab number and your destination will be recorded with your name. You should also get a local pre-paid phone at the airport which you can use not only in emergency but also to call the destination from time to time to let them know your whereabouts while traveling. If your flight reaches too early in the morning wait at the airport till daybreak. Avoid traveling alone or during 9 PM to 6 AM. Also, be alert if the driver takes his own friend with him in the front.
Once in Nasik you will be OK. Apart from the “men” described in some posts here (who will be at the public places or transport) you will meet people on the street to be quite gentle, well-educated and English-speaking. In India, it is more customary for women to have women friends; so if you make a few, that will make your stay memorable.

[QUOTE=emkay;68414]I’ll be traveling to India to complete my teacher training in Nasik India in the beginning of April 2012. As a woman, and never having been to India, I’m looking for a travel buddy… either someone familiar with India or someone attending the same training at YogaPoint. Anyone out there?

Hello Emkay,
I was reffered to yoga point by a friend and thinking about registering for April. My only concern is hot temp in April. If i decide to register, Let’s keep in touch?
PS
Yes, its generally more heat out there in India. However, Nasik happens to be situated in hilly area and relatively less warm. April will be like the height of summer in Chicago. May and June may be worse, especially if mansoon rains (due June 4th) are delayed.

Hallo emkay,
I did my teacher training at yoga point as well and will be there again in Jan and Feb 2012. It is really not that hard to travel from Mumbai to the ashram’s head office in Nasik. I met a couple of girls over this site: http://www.metta.org.uk/forums/yogaf/showsubj.asp?Subject=Anyone%20ever%20do%20yoga%20point%20india and we prearanged a ride from Mumbai airport to Nasik with KK Travel. Some people don’t like KK Travel so much, but I took them twice and they were very reliable.
Good luck, I’m sure you’ll find somebody arriving at Mumbai at a similar time! After that everything will become easy. Have a great time at the ashram!

During this year’s TTC in March it was very hot, but as the asana trainings are not during the hottest time of the day (6 to 9 am and 3 to 5 pm). Plus there are fans and they even gave us air con’s for the rooms (didn’t work that great, but it was ok). As long as you make sure you drink enough water during the day and wear comfy loose fitting clothes, everything will be fine.

Definitely let me know! It is supposed to be pretty hot that time of year, but I am not worried about it. Especially with VeganLove’s information based on experience (thanks VeganLove, I am so excited for this! Glad to hear from someone who’s done it!)
Thanks for answers everybody!
Since there are people in the thread who have already been at “Yoga point”, I would like to ask how did you make your choice to go exactly to this place?
Well, I found them on the internet, price and curriculum seemed acceptable. I also found lots of pictures and reports from students who have been there before and almost everyone was happy about yoga point. And now, looking back at the course, it was the best place to go. You’ll love it 
Thank you, Vegan Love
I obviously haven’t been there yet, but if it’s worth anything I will tell you that I did an incredible amount of research before deciding on Yoga Point. It was the best in all categories for me. I compared probably about 50 programs, looking at time, location, price, travel, the number of students in each session, the daily schedule, whether food and accommodations were included, ease of travel to the ashram, reading reviews online from past students, and most importantly to me, finding a place that offered a genuine ashram experience. Once I had narrowed it down to a few different places, I watched the testimonials on Yoga Point’s website and I decided it was the place for me. I already know I made the right decision.
