Just a few of our testimonials!
Amy Massey
There is a richness and depth to this content with its real life (on and off the mat) applicability. I have been moved by the sincerity and support of the teachers.
I am so excited to share these teachings in a way that is accessible and empowering for students and wider community members.
Hope Anderson
I’ve learnt so much about Yoga and myself, met so many wonderful people, and have made lifelong friends.
Summer Knight
I can truly say that this training would benefit any yoga teacher - in fact, any person with a yoga practice. I not only gained a more compassionate perspective to yoga, but also toward myself.
Simply fantastical.
Sarah Hart
Four generous and vastly different teachers combine to offer something more unique and valuable than expected. It is beyond yoga as I knew it — it was an investment in the rest of my life.
The Contemporary Yoga faculty 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!!
Caroline Bindon
The amount of knowledge and understanding, experience and love that has gone into the teacher training is truly epic and has enabled such a deep and rich learning experience.
Each teacher’s passion for sharing and facilitating is evident in the generosity of spirit and unique sharing of knowledge
Georgie Collins
The sequence of this course is undeniably strong and grounded. All the teachers bring compassion, ease, knowledge, flavour, enquiry and wholeness to everything they show, do, present and give.
Making this course a full embodied experience, exploration and foundation to enliven new thoughts and ideas to take away for our own self practice and to share with others.

I couldn’t be happier that I chose to do my training with Contemporary Yoga.
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.

Vanessa Bailey
To all the teachers …
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.
Lorraine Downes
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!
Katrina Kidson
Shamim Samad
Emma Brasier
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.
Simon Molloy
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.
Monica Yoon
I strongly recommend this training. It’s a life changing experience. The way I see things, smell, feel and my energy have completely changed throughout the course consistently.
Beyond expectation. Absolutely worth the investment after many long years I’ve finally met myself! Simply, divine! Organic! Full of love!
Dea Bashota
The learnings I have gained from this course of really helped me find not only my yoga knowledge, but myself. I thank the team for the amazing work they put into this course, as I have come out of it with a new perspective.
As I leave the training I can confidently say that I have come closer to my true nature, and I’m able to come closer to this more and more every day.
Alice Rich
This training is carefully considered, expansive and practical. It goes deeper and beyond asanas as the poster shapes of yoga and provides an incredible grounding and insight into yoga as a morphing, ongoing inquiry into life itself.
Jess Howse

Gabrielle Henderson
Meghann Stewart
Patrick Lamrock
Beautiful people sharing the beauty of life. 🙂
Rob Dawson
I feel I have developed my own opinions and rational for how I will approach teaching, and that I am prepared well for the challenge that awaits me. It is interesting to see how differently individual members of the group used the information and teachings for our final assessments.
I think it speaks so highly of the quality of training that you can produce 15 skilled and confident teachers who have very different styles instead of just pumping out carbon copies of yourselves. Very well done all of you. Thank you.
Anne de Brouwer
Thank you I am inspired, amazed, changed, still learning, moved. I am inspired to keep on learning and exploring and this course has totally changed my view and perception of yoga in a profound way.
Juliet Slovgrove
I found it absolutely fascinating to learn how and why the body works as it does. Everything was relevant - each and every aspect we covered right from the cells to how they relate to the practice of yoga. This knowledge will definitely make me a better teacher, and there are many ways that I will be able to integrate it into my teaching.
Sandy Farquhar
The teachers were outstanding: each teach from their own unique perspective inside a carefully crafted, well-designed programme of studies. This ensured strong synergies across all aspects of the course and a great combination of practice and theory.
I learned so much more than just asana, pranayama etc. This course is indeed contemporary yoga - with a focus on movement patterns and modern theory - I thoroughly recommend it.
Sandra Palmer
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.
Alana Chao
Contemporary Yoga has given me more than what I’d expect from a teacher training course. All the teachers are truly experts in what they do and their passion is infectious. 🙂
Lutza Szabo
Thank you!
