SANTOSHA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING TESTIMONIALS
Why Our Students Love the Santosha RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Training!
‘Positive growth and transformation on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.’
What you’ve created here is beautiful, you should be super proud! To use a metaphor, it feels as though Santosha has been baking the same cake for a long time and gradually refining the recipe and ingredients to create something beautiful. I’m sure it’s ever-evolving, and I just wanted you to know that I feel that I am learning so organically.
I am retaining knowledge easily, and information from the various subjects is integrated perfectly. This is leading me to feel confident in my learnings and teachings. I am experiencing so much positive growth and transformation on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.
I’ve been on a bit of a beautiful healing journey prior to arriving in Santosha and it feels as though this is exactly what I need to consolidate and expand upon my previous learnings. The beautiful journey of life, my heart is radiating love and I’m so grateful for this experience. I’m exactly where I’m supposed to me and I’m so proud of myself for trusting my intuition about Santosha.
As a surfer I’m loving being able to surf where possible, as a fellow surfer I’m sure you can relate.
I couldn’t be happier spending my days learning about yoga as a system, the main reason I chose this course is because it focuses on the eight limbs. I fell in love with yoga about a year ago and knew there is so much more to it than I was aware that was making me feel so amazing. I came here to explore that and deepen my practice and it’s such a beautiful and life-changing journey already.
Greg Heath, Australia – RYT-200 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!
