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!

‘‘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!
