“The 200 RYS Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Abhaya not only provided me with the tools to become a registered yoga teacher, but it also served as a catalyst for growth and connection in many unexpected areas. In the true spirit of yoga, there was an inward connection to a deepening of my personal practice, an outward connection to my fellow students and the Abhaya community, and a spiritual connection to the community’s mission in spreading love and compassion. Yoga is an ancient practice and Abhaya was able to honor the traditions and philosophy of Yoga while preparing students to teach in the 21st century. I wholeheartedly recommend the teacher training to anybody who is looking for an authentic exploration of yoga and a pedagogically thoughtful exploration of teaching it.”
