YOGA ONE TEACHER TRAINING TESTIMONIALS – San Diego

Following each course we ask our students to complete an anonymous evaluation. Here are some of the responses.

“I learned more about me, my body and my practice in the last month than I’ve learned in the last year! I think the alignment principles we learned completely changed my practice. I started seeing yoga as a whole and not just asana practice. I think this course completely changed my awareness and consciousness of my body and opened a lot of inner doors that I did not know [existed].” – Alumni Yoga One Teacher Training Course

“Amy & Diana are rock stars! The general energy of the classmates was very inspiring. It was great to devote so much time per week to yoga.” – Alumni Yoga One Teacher Training Course

“This course inspired me to share yoga (with self and others) with more confidence and understanding. As a student I enjoyed being present, sharing with and learning from the beautiful teachers and students. I felt supported in working out the balance of taking the course and living my life. Learning the varying approaches to asana from discipline to discipline was insightful. Awesome studio! Awesome studio owners! I like you guys!” – Alumni Yoga One Teacher Training Course

“I don’t know how long, if ever, it would have taken to reach this new awareness.
I wouldn’t have had as deep of an understanding – the need for the understanding of the shoulders and pelvis —the “hugging in” concept is so valuable! Priceless…something I can grow from—a starting point. By example, Amy, you’ve shown true grace with your full being and will serve as my “Guru” in my mind’s eye when I struggle with grace and finding peace. Truthfully…this is possibly the most valuable gem I came to experience. Thank you. There truly was a great balance throughout the course. Teaching in a round robin like setting was eye opening for me—doing it in a circle rocks! I have told everyone I know [about the course] it was an amazing experience and that Amy & Michael are so kind, sweet and informative. You two have tapped into something very special. Keep offering teacher/yoga training at least two times a year or one for each season.” – Alumni Yoga One Teacher Training Course

“The manipulation of shoulders and back was so transformational for me. The philosophical side is so important for one to truly understand yoga and teach it effectively and with integrity. I find [I have] a more balanced practice. [The training’s] holistic and comprehensive approach is invaluable to the beginning teacher and continuing yoga practitioner. Thank you.” – Alumni Yoga One Teacher Training Course

“I learned how to approach yoga from many different angles. Through thought: the philosophy behind the practice was new to me and I found it very helpful to learn yoga as a way of life beyond exercise. Through asana and anatomy: I learned the many ways in which we take for granted the use of our bodies. The classes taught me other helpful ways of being in the body. Through practice: I learned the value of steady practice.” – Alumni Yoga One Teacher Training Course

“I really enjoyed finding out all the different reasons why people do yoga and how to approach yoga from many different directions, i.e. spiritual, physical, daily practice. This understanding can only happen in a group setting where people get to know each other through one activity. I learned a lot about my own resistance to daily practice and trying to work with this instead of against it.[The teacher training course] is a great way to focus on something you love that can bring health and happiness to the world. You made a safe and fun environment for us to explore ourselves and each other through yoga.” – Alumni Yoga One Teacher Training Course
