TESTIMONIALS

About our Yoga Trainings from a few graduates:

The Teacher Training Course was truly the highlight of each week.  I gained independence and a dedication to my practice which I had never committed to so deeply before, and it has persisted beyond the training.  The experience was comprehensive, deep and empowering: in building my confidence around Sanskrit, expanding my understanding of anatomy, enhancing my ability to teach Pranayama and offer variations on the Asanas. This training offered a solid foundation from which I feel infinite potential for growth--both as a teacher and in my own practice.  It is not common to come across such a strong, deeply committed group of people who grow seamlessly into a family like our group did through the training.  This experience prepared me with the knowledge, confidence and inspiration to be the best yoga teacher I can be. I am deeply grateful.

This training will give you everything you need to become a fabulous yoga teacher and I think that you will find it to be a very rewarding experience.

When looking for yoga teacher training I was not sure where to go and wondered what training would be “worth it.” It was complete serendipity that I ran across Om Ananda and it was so worth it. I grew so much throughout the training and continue to grow. This training provides one with the foundations of Hatha yoga and at the same time expands beyond them. I really learned how to be an effective yoga teacher and my practice has deepened more than I ever imagined.  Whether you are new or old to yoga you will be able to find what you are looking for. Namaste.

I took both yoga teacher trainings 1 and 2 sequentially.  The experience was a most beautiful gift to me.  Not only did I learn necessary information and asana instruction, but the growth of spirit and transformation of community was deeply felt.  The instructors are all very caring, supportive and knowledgeable.  I am able to step into the world and share all I learned comfortably.  I continue to grow and learn within the philosophies and dedications of the yoga discipline.  I am very greatful and hope to learn again through the Shambhava School.

I had an amazing time training with Sarada and Shivaji.  I really had no idea how intensive it was going to be.  There is alot of knowledge surrounding a good teacher and I have a new respect for all instructors out there.   This training made me feel valid in the world, being a stay at home mom for the past 4 years I needed something to give me my identity back.  Being with them and my fellow students and learning so much really gave me that power and confidence in myself.  Thank you both for all your knowledge and coolness.

The meditation practice in which we engaged was the most powerful aspect of the training for me, setting the stage for a more profound respect, understanding and appreciation for yoga. I loved the anatomy, and the in-depth study of asana, and am an avid seeker of history,  but as far as personal growth and a deeper experience of the yogic path, meditation was IT!
