ONLINE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING TESTIMONIALS
Why Our Students Love the Santosha Online Yoga Teacher Training!
‘Such a Strong Sense of Community, Love and Passion through my Laptop!’
The four weeks training exceeded my expectations! Sunny and the Santosha team are so welcoming and kind, I never thought I could feel such a strong sense of community, love and passion through my laptop! The courses are well organized and very complete.
I have learned so much from yoga history to anatomy, the foundations of the asanas and breathing techniques. After four weeks I felt confident I could teach a small class. My life has been turned upside down with the COVID crisis. This training not only gave me new future perspectives, it also helped me go through a difficult time and listen to myself. I can only recommend!
Héloïse Lambert, Dubai – RYT-200 Online Yoga Teacher Training
‘Most Wonderful and Knowledgeable Instructors’
I’ve very recently completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Santosha. I’m so grateful that this opportunity came up and I was able to learn from the most wonderful and knowledgeable instructors from around the world. There is so much to learn and I have been fully supported both during the course and ongoing.
My intention was originally to deepen my own practice, as I love that inner peace I would always feel when doing yoga, and I wanted to tap into that further. I’ve come away with such amazement at what I learnt as yoga is really so much more than I thought. I’m so happy to have found answers and I want to share my love for yoga with all.
Melanie Ceveri, Australia – RYT-200 Online Yoga Teacher Training
‘You are Never too Old!’
I recently completed my RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Training. It was more than I ever imagined or hoped it could be! I had always wanted to become a certified yoga teacher, but traveled all over the world with my job. As a single Mom of 3 gorgeous daughters I just never took the time for “me”.
I signed up. I learned so much — but especially how to breathe during the asanas. I learned meditation. I learned the philosophy. I LEARNED! And I felt welcome and loved by all the instructors and other students. It was as if I finally found home.
My daily practice has become the center of my day. I know after my practice that I can handle anything life wants to throw at me.
And I am looking forward to life post-covid so that I can give back by teaching seniors and in assisted living facilities. You are never too old!
