Testimonials
What our students say
the transformation can be truly radical
Yes, yoga therapy can look soft, gentle, modified, slow from the outside but the transformation can be truly radical. I feel blessed to share these tools with the world and very grateful to have studied with and learned from the wonderful teachers at The Yoga Therapy Institute.
so much to learn and also, a soft place to land
When I started my first module, I knew I had found the right place. So much to learn and also, a soft place to land.
the Institution became a community of deep support and trust
Finding The Yoga Therapy Institute was the right school at the right time, set up safely and professionally. The Institution became a community of deep support and trust. My life began to heal. I learnt to apply moderation, and my focus became about creating balance instead of committing to extremes. As I move forward with yoga therapy, I'm excited to apply some of my most prominent understandings with those I'm fortunate to serve.
my life literally has been transformed
I am so grateful for this journey with the teachers, fellow students and supportive staff at the Institute my life literally has been transformed. But the journey is not over. I am excited to continue my yoga therapy education and my connection with the Institute.
the confirmation that I was in the right place, doing the right thing
Saying that this was life changing would not be enough to describe the huge impact this training has had on me, my healing and my life overall. Working with my 21 case studies was the confirmation that I was in the right place, doing the right thing.
this was the missing piece of my puzzle
I joined The Yoga Therapy Institute to follow some modules, not knowing if I would do the whole training. Soon I realised that this was the missing piece of my puzzle: yoga therapy offered me the connection between my scientific training and my training in yoga and philosophy. The teachings at The Yoga Therapy Institute totally matched with my view on yoga. Every human being should be able to practise yoga.
“A heartfelt thank you to the inspiring director, the dedicated teachers, and the warm staff for creating a space where learning was both rigorous and compassionate. Every lesson was expansive and deeply impactful, offering wisdom far beyond what any textbook can provide.”
