Bowl Of Compassion Cafe - Benares

Here I felt peaceful environment and homely comfort. Host and his family is good. Foods of here is very healthy and fresh. I have booked here dormitory room but host has given me private room it was very good but the interested thing is that he did not take any extra charge. Host also help for underprivileged kids and good yoga, astro teacher in varanasi. Rooftop is peaceful also and terrace has covered and no monkey when I have dried my clothes on rooftop it was safe and shanti place for meditation too.

Somit was lovely and shared lots of information with us, the food was amazing and the rooftop was a highlight of Varanasi for us. Definitely recommend!

I stayed 1 week with Somit and his team and it has been such a great experience. I could stay with the children of the school and I tought them spanish. It was so nice to be with them and share good moments. I also enjoyed the food from Bowl of Compassion and it was really tasty, natural and made with love. They have a nice terrasse where you can enjoy a delicious and calmed dinner. I would recommend everybody that comes to Varanasi to experience not only Somit yoga's training but also their food and what is more important, the school. I was really impressed about this project and I wish them all the best for the future.

Somit was running yoga classes and my friends and I signed up to do an ashtanga class with him. It was clear 2 minutes in that he had no formal yoga teacher training as ashtanga yoga is taught the same all over the world and what he was ‘teaching’ was not that. I would really really really recommend against going- it can be dangerous being taught by someone who has no idea what they are doing. Especially since he was trying to get us to do quite difficult back bending poses with 0 warm up and incorrect adjustments. DO NOT GO AND DO YOGA HERE.

Somit and his Staff are so friendly and helpful, there is a free school for children in the guest house which Somit runs. Wonderful experience, make sure you do the walking temple tour, highly recommend! And food is delicious here on the roof top 3rd floor .
