Testimonials for the Teacher Training and Teachers

I was amazed by the depth and breadth of yoga on the human mind and body that the teachers of this course have.

I am a physiotherapist and as well as gaining vital skills to teach yoga I have also gained insight and knowledge that I will apply in my physiotherapy career.

Not only has this training changed my whole perspective on the practice of yoga, but also within my life itself.

A truly transformational journey supported by wonderful teachers, and I look forward to sharing this knowledge and practice. Thank you to you all.

This training surpassed all expectations - challenging, inspiring, and deeply informative. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world of yoga!

Karla, Neal, Dyana and Vincent are all exceptional and skilled practitioners, whose authenticity and love of yoga shone throughout the duration of the course.

I am extremely grateful to all the amazing teachers who have appeared at the right time on my journey, and who have enriched and inspired my life.

Contemporary yoga training has been the ‘icing on the cake’ and if you are ‘stuck’ or need a nudge in the right direction don’t hesitate and sign up now! You will never regret it!

A life-changing experience with lovely teachers!

I feel exceptionally honoured to have spent time with Karla and Neal. Their passion and curiosity for movement and the authentic experience of self is inspiring and encouraging. I have been reminded that I have a home within myself where there is peace and nourishment and a gentle sense that everything is OK.

I plan to visit that place more often! Thank you!

This is a truly unique Yoga Teacher Training.

The wealth and depth of knowledge and experience of four exceptional teachers woven passionately with a focus on personal inquiry and active exploration, provides a foundation for students which inspires, empowers and transforms. Immense gratitude for a profound learning journey.

The 200 hour teacher training was an amazing immersive experience. The breadth of material was exceptional and I walked away with a new-found appreciation for all aspects of Yoga as a way of life as well as a wonderful practice.

You will take away from this course so much to help you on your journey - just brilliant.

The manual is an amazing resource and always will be.

This training offers so much for enriching your lifestyle as a whole. It has influenced how I approach my social, personal and professional life in ways I would never have envisioned.

Beautiful people sharing the beauty of life. 🙂

I could not be happier to have chosen this course. It has completely exceeded any expectations.

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.

All the teachers are truly experts in what they do and their passion is infectious. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to do a yoga teachers training. It was much more that that, it was a life changing amazing experience.

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.

I found it absolutely fascinating to learn how and why the body works as it does. Everything was relevant, Dyana related 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.

I found Dyana really inspirational.

Just completed the 200 hour teacher training intensive (3 weeks) - a very empowering experience.

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.

Contemporary Toga 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. 🙂 

Dyana was clear, flexible and attentive to the entire class. I really appreciated her warmth and investment in her teaching.

I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to do Yoga teacher training. It is so much more than that - a life changing, amazing experience.

Thank you!

Dyana - You are shining in this teaching space and your authenticity is inspirational. I hope we cross paths again.

Dyana - I’m going to miss your A&P classes. I really enjoy your teaching and knowledge. Thank you so much.

Amazing, beautiful, sparkling, alive, awake, kind. Dyana, thank you.

Thank you Dyana. I really appreciate your many pearls.

I loved the close attention to body, breath and the relationship to the ground. That was something I really needed and will be useful in whatever work I do with people, no matter what. I loved all the spiritual stuff, into it, find it beautiful and useful.

Neal brings such a focused intensity to his classes that it is almost impossible not to be carried along in the teaching experience he provides.

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.
