    5.0 "The program’s comprehensive approach gave me confidence and tools to build my career"

    When I think about turning points, joining All Yoga Teacher Training program stands out in my yoga journey. It was my first 200 Hour yoga teacher training. I walked into that program not really knowing what to expect, but what I found was so much more than a certification—it was a doorway to my dream life as a new yoga teacher.

    Today, I’m running my own online yoga course, hosting retreats and even leading international YTTs. None of that would’ve happened without the roots I grew at All Yoga. Their teachers? They were sparks of inspiration, lighting me up with skills and confidence to create something real and transformative for my students. I can still feel the warmth of their guidance.

    This wasn’t just a training. It was the foundation for everything I’m pouring into the world as a yoga teacher.

    5.0 "The training was a game-changer, covering everything from intelligent sequencing to effective teaching techniques"

    All Yoga handed me the keys to turn my love for yoga into something real. After finishing my 200-hour YTT, I felt this rush—like I could actually do this. So I opened my own studio, and now it’s this buzzing little community of yogis that I’m so proud of. The All Yoga training flipped a switch for me—smart sequencing, teaching methodology, business of yoga, all of it just clicked. And the All Yoga team? They didn’t just wave goodbye after graduation. They’ve kept cheering me on, inspiring me to grow a space where everyone can find yoga. Forever grateful!

    The All Yoga Teacher Training lit a spark that changed everything for me. It gave me the tools to grow—not just as a teacher, but as someone who could lead. I started designing yoga retreats across Southeast Asia, and now I’m even a YTT lead trainer here in Thailand. The way they broke down teaching methods, anatomy, and how to really connect with students—it stuck with me. Because of All Yoga, I’m guiding others on their own paths now, feeling solid in my ability to lift them up, just like the team did for me back then.

    Dominique, USA 5.0 OCT 2025 GRADUATE

    Becoming a certified Ashtanga Vinyasa instructor was the best decision I could've made for myself. I enjoy every bit of my journey in Thailand and a large part of it was because of the teachers: Michelle, Toon, Sam, and Cris. They were absolutely phenomenal in everything they did; they each brought their own flavor to the course and did so with lots of love, grace, and compassion. As a person who was and still is a beginner, they believed in me and gave me the tools I needed to thrive. Despite the leak in the roof of the shala, everything worked out for the best. I would not change my § experience for the world.

    Hallie, USA 5.0 OCT 2025 GRADUATE

    To be honest, I had no expectations or even any idea of what to expect coming into this training. That being said, any expectations that I could have had would have been exceeded far beyond anything I imagined. This has been the most challenging thing I've done, both physically and mentally, yet the most life-changing and amazing. I've never been in such an environment where I felt I belonged more. Michelle & Toon truly are two of the coolest people I've ever met. Their genuine care and personalities made coming to class every day easier than ever. They created an environment where I never felt I needed to hold anything back and I could simply be myself.
    Before the course, I was unsure if this was even the path I wanted to take, but I quickly learnt that I was right where I needed to be. This course has transformed me to be a better student, teacher, and human. I've felt a huge shift in the way I think and react to situations. Thanks to the lovely Christina, I have learned how I can apply yoga philosophy to my daily life, which I think everyone can benefit from. The overpowering willingness to help and encourage from all Sam, Toon, Chris, and Michelle has made me realize how much I am capable of. Before the training, I hadn't had a consistent yoga practice and was fairly new to yoga. These amazing teachers turned me into a better student in all ways. I loved everything about this course and would recommend it over and over again.

    I actually didn't realise I had signed up to an Ashtanga Vinyasa course until the taxi ride with another just met! I always had the idea that for Ashtanga Vinyasa you had to be super advanced. I feel our group had our different strengths and weaknesses, which were all nurtured and supported by Michelle, Toon, Sam, and Christina.
    To meet such disciplined, strong, inspiring, and supportive teachers was such a privilege! I've noticed changes in my body, getting stronger, physically and mentally. It was tough but I do feel so proud of myself and more ready to implement a more active lifestyle for everyday now. To be so encouraged through practice by Michelle and Toon. The "Yes, Yazz!" By Michelle and "That's good" by Toon really helped keep me going. I'm so grateful to have had such an amazing group of teachers around me. Life-changing experience! Thank you! Lots and lots of love Yazz XXXX

    Anna, Poland 5.0 AUG 2025 GRADUATE

    The greatest strength of this yoga teacher training course was the teachers, Michelle, Toon, Sam, and Christina, who were passionate, knowledgeable, dedicated, and encouraging. Their energy and commitment created a motivating learning environment where I truly felt supported to grow. The training itself was very comprehensive, encouraging practice, detailed knowledge of each pose, breathing techniques, meditation, anatomy, philosophy, and a lot of useful and interesting workshops. The training pace was excellent- progressing gradually so it was manageable, yet still challenging you. I could see noticeable progress day by day. Very motivating.
    Participants came from all around the world, each bringing their own personality, experience and perspective, and we were able to create an inclusive and friendly atmosphere during the training we were able to learn from each other. The training also fostered friendship, mutual support and team spirit. It not only excellent preparation for becoming a teacher but also a transformative personal experience. Overall, this was a truly enriching and rewarding experience.

    Sophia, UK 5.0 JUN 2025 GRADUATE

    Joining All Yoga has been a transformative journey - one that I will cherish forever. Marcela, Victor and Janina have shared so much wisdom, knowledge and heart. They created a safe space to ask any questions and open discussions about anything - freeing their time to always provide help and assistance whenever required - without judgement, allowing vulnerability. Ive learned so much about yoga - beyond the physical of asanas. Its a way of life - a discipline that creates a union with knowing yourself and putting your best into the universe. I’ve created a union with everybody here - friendships that will hold forever, even though we’re from different parts of the world. I particularly loved learning about the philosophy of Yoga and Victor delivered all concepts so effectively - I definitely want to learn more! This course has taucht me to listen to my body, quiet the mind and be confident in my teaching. I will miss everything about this experience and I am truly grateful - Thank you!

    About Haley Walrath

    Haley received her 200-hr RYT from All Yoga Thailand in May 2018. She went to college for English and Creative Writing, where she was an editor for the Painted Cave Literary Magazine. She then followed another of her passions and went to Culinary school to pursue a life working with food. After working at several restaurants, she found kitchen life to be an overly competitive and toxic environment. Haley decided to leave professional cooking behind to go after the one thing that had always been there for her when life got dark- yoga.

    For several years she found inner peace and purpose on her mat. After starting a blog called Struggle With Haley (a self-care blog that aimed to help other women feel less alone on their journeys to health and happiness), she decided to attend yoga training in Thailand. Haley now hopes to combine her loves of writing, cooking, traveling, and yoga into a new blog- eventually teaching yoga online while she travels the world.
