Comments from our
Program Graduates

The YTT environment at the yoga shala was the warmest, most welcoming, open, and supportive environment I have ever experienced. I am grateful for everything the program taught me, especially the tools to continue my personal home practice. The full immersion in ashtanga yoga taught me so much about my body and my mind. The YTT program at the shala has definitely inspired me to continue with the lifelong learnings and developments available through yoga!
- Stefanie

During the Yoga Shala YTT program I learned so much more than I had expected, and this experience truly changed my life in diverse and profoundly positive ways. Not only did I deepen my own practice, but the hands on training gave me the confidence to share my passion for yoga with others safely. I found the instructors to be highly experienced, knowledgeable, and approachable, sharing their love and passions for yoga in an open and compassionate way. The Yoga Shala YTT program was an learning experience like no other, which has helped me to nurture health and wellness in myself and others, and allowed me to explore the deeper aspects of life and living in this world. It gave me a great appreciation and gratitude for my teachers, and peers, and I feel so blessed to have been learning with such a dedicated group of people.
- Miranda

I have a deep appreciation for the yoga teacher training at the Shala. It offered an immersion into yoga that was holistic, inspiring and joyful. The course embraced the ancient roots of the form and ignited a fire for immediate transformation.
- Claire

I liked the steady encouragement to explore and deepen my own practise. I liked the whole thing but especially being immersed into Ashtanga.
- Joanne

The program instructors were very welcoming and encouraging. Their knowledge and teaching styles created a well-rounded program. I also learned alot from the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of others in the program. I learned more than I expected about yoga, teaching, anatomy, and myself.
