Testimonials for the Teacher Training and Teachers

Neal, Karla, Dyana and Vincent don’t tell you how it is. They share their wealth of knowledge, and introduce you to the teacher within and what you already are.

All lessons are applicable off the mat, creating what I imagine are sincere teachers of depth and with soul. Words can hardly express how grateful I am for what I learned with their guidance in just three weeks, the most important of which was connecting with myself and others in a truly authentic, supportive, caring and sustainable way that I can’t wait to pay forward as a teacher. Thank you!!

The beauty of this collaboration is that one receives a wealth of experience, expertise, passion and dedication to all that is the art and science of which means, you gain a rich experience far beyond your initial investment.

I highly recommend this Teacher Training and am already planning my next installment.

Instead of pigeonholing myself into a particular style or approach, I’ve had an immensely rich exploration of yoga, from the ancient to the modern, offered by this range of true masters. My foundation will never be the same. I’m ready to share.

There are times when a teacher comes into your life at just the right time. To have four unique teachers drop in simultaneously, all offering something special, is a rare treat.

This training has awakened in me the huge possibility that await. Moving away from the scripted style of teaching a new found freedom has been found an an excitement and what awaits. Thank you.

My teacher training has empowered me. It has given me a wealth of knowledge while allowing me the freedom to explore. The beauty of the course was the balance between structure and self development.

The respect my teachers give to yoga, and the generosity to share their knowledge in a gentle safe environment, was humbling.

An outstanding teacher training that integrated so much valuable information from truly knowledgeable, gentle, kind human beings.

The knowledge shared I will value for life, and continue to thread through my own teaching.

I highly highly recommend the courses at Contemporary Yoga. I really enjoyed every moment.

I think of each of you, as being among the most talented chefs in the world.  Your teachings have been a series of sophisticated degustation dining experiences of beautiful refinement and elegance all delivered with passion and remarkable skill. Each superbly crafted dish captured my full attention to consider, examine, and appreciate all the detail before consuming.

Since commencing my practice with you Karla, it has shown me that yoga doesn’t have to be about perfection, but more it is about gently connecting to our wondrous bodies, minds, hearts, and souls. I love the whole yoga practise now - all of it, not just the end Savasana. I enter each class not fearing it, but knowing it is going to make me feel soooo good. I leave the class feeling centred and my whole being feels that it has been loved, not judged, and for that I am forever grateful!

The focus on developmental movement patterns, yoga therapy and restorative yoga combined with the yoga philosophy and anatomy/physiology woven throughout, means that this training is different from any other yoga training out there.

The training provides plentiful opportunities to develop self-awareness as yoga teachers and yoga therapists which will result in teachers/therapist with self- understanding and a grounding in the knowledge as well as a deeper understanding of others.

This has truly been a transformative experience.

His sense of kindness & musical abilities opened my mind to what it is to embrace wholeness and to be a teacher that truly embodies the idea of loving presence.

Neal is able to make palpable the endless connections between the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga practice. His use of music and dance creates a learning experience that is holistic joyful and at times deeply sensuous.

At the same time he has an eye for detail in asana work but always emphasizes self-care, acceptance of individual differences and respect for students as core principles.
