Hear From These Transformed Yoga Teachers

‘‘Thank You so Much for Sharing all of your Experience, Knowledge and Wisdom’’

I held my workshop on Saturday afternoon. It was a practice run through with my husband to see how the format went and how I went!

I absolutely loved it, and so did my husband. He is one of these who find it very difficult to sit and do nothing. He also has a science background, so unless there is science behind something he will not believe it has any benefit. He loved the two Yoga Nidra sessions, and was really impressed by the information around what each step is and why we do the steps. He also like the brain wave information. He said the workshop was well paced, a good balance between practical and knowledge.

Overall, doing the practice run through was great as I now feel confident to advertise and run the workshop for a small group of people!

Thank you so much for sharing all of your experience, knowledge and wisdom. I would never have had the confidence or the knowledge to pursue this without you.

‘‘Learning via Online was Easy with Santosha’’

The online material was so thorough and informative that I never felt I was lost or missing something. Learning via online was easy with Santosha because their online platform was well organized. It took the doubt of online learning completely away.

The teachers were also amazing! Sunny is a very well trained and knowledgeable yogini. That care and intellect carries on with the teachers of Santosha. My experience of training with Santosha gave me a whole different understanding of yoga. The mental, spiritual, meditative side of yoga was so beneficial to my life and especially in these crazy times we are in currently.

My many, many thanks to Sunny and the entire Santosha team for all your love and support!

In a World of ‘Doing’,
Meditation is a Chance to Explore ‘Being’...

Meditation is a powerful practice of conscious stillness that restores balance to the nervous system, quiets the mind, and supports overall wellbeing. It invites us to unplug from constant stimulation, turn inward, and access the deep healing that arises when we slow down, breathe, and simply be.

When you can skillfully guide Meditation, you expand your capacity to truly serve — helping people find clarity, calm, and connection that extends far beyond a single session.

Meet Your Yoga, Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher:

Piera Maria

Piera came into this world with a love for movement and started dancing already in her childhood, finding that movement was one of her portals to connect to her core, to her soul.

Graduating in 2009 as an Exercise Educator (Movement and Dance Teacher) with emphasis on Anatomy and Physiology, Piera then opened her Movement Studio – sharing her passion with the vision of welcoming any form of movement, self-expression, and self-explorative styles.

Since that time Piera has been teaching yoga and a wide range of movement, body, and breath awareness classes.

Piera completed her RYT-500 Certified Yoga Instructor with Santosha, and has completed extensive training on Meditation and Mindfulness as well as being a Reiki Massage Therapist.

Her meditation practice started many years ago and has guided her to a deeper connection to herself and her surroundings. As much as she loves all forms of movement, she finds meditation is the key to her well-being and a non-negotiable part of her daily practice.

For Piera, it is most rewarding to guide people into their depth and support them in their own healing capacity through yoga, movement, lifestyle medicine, and stillness, leading them toward their own potential.

Piera is a wonderful teacher and much-loved member of the Santosha team of highly professional and knowledgeable teachers. She loves sharing this highly valuable practice with our students online and in-person.

‘‘Such a Strong Sense of Community, Love and Passion through my Laptop!’’

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. The challenging part for me was to deconstruct what I had learned in my own yoga practice, in order to teach in a safe way for my future students.

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!
