Yoga Teacher Training Testimonials & Reviews

Amazing, intense and fulfilling experience! My goal was to deepen my practice, but what I found was even more important and life-changing: professional, kind, interesting, supportive teachers and friends who will remain in my heart forever. Within those weeks I became more conscious about my practice, found new inspiration and confidence, plus skills and tools which open up new possibilities.

First of all, I enjoyed the Yoga Teacher Training a lot. At the same time it was challenging for the body & mind. At the beginning I was a little worried about my bits and bites in my body but yoga is accessible for everyone and it was a reason why I wanted to do the course. And I'm so happy that I did. I learned so much about my body, how strong it can be and what it is capable of. On top of that I learned how to guide my thoughts and to not judge myself, rather accept where I am right now. A Yoga training is a journey for the body and the mind. If you think of doing it, definitely just go for it!

Although Ashtanga isn’t my favorite practice, I will say the structure of the training truly prepares you on how to teach yoga to beginner students. I’m naturally a shy and introverted person, but after this training, I have the knowledge and confidence to actually teach my own class… which I have! Barely one week after the training!

I loved this training! The instruction and guidance from both David and Charlotte was impeccable. The level of teaching is excellent and the course material is very thorough. I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to learn with these two. Time definitely not wasted. The timetable was at times challenging, but that is part of the journey.

Very difficult to find the words to describe this incredible experience. For me it was enriching from every point of view; on all individual, psychological, relational and physical levels.
David and Sonia had thought about every detail, always accompanying us through this journey with a smile, with their positive energy, with affection, with empathy, with discipline, with the right hardness, with sensitivity but above all with passion. The physical practice together with the philosophy, anatomy, asana clinic lessons marked every special day which program was always unexpected and never the same in a very balanced way. We truly lived the day trusting the teachers without ever asking what would come next. Thanks to David, Sonia, Victor and Maria Joao for having transmitted their knowledge to us in such a spontaneous way, going well beyond the didactic notions, giving us the opportunity to reflect, to always question ourselves and above all to share constantly our emotions always with respect. They have given us the chance to make ours and personal all the tools and notions they shared.
Simplicity is a word with which I would describe this training, very earthly and human from the meditation to the physical practice. In this simplicity each of us found his space without being afraid of being judged and above all with the idea of being able to take this experience as a starting point to bring it back consistently in our daily path on and off our mat. As David always says, “nothing is mandatory but just an invitation to experience something new and enriching in the good and in the bad”. David and Sonia always understood our state of mind, our physical and mental fatigue, giving us the opportunity to regain our energies without ever stopping to stimulate us to go beyond our limits, connect with our strength of will staying connected to the needs or our body and mind. I must say that together with the teachers what made this experience so special was the group, all so different but with an incredible positive energy, in any moment of difficulty if we were all together this vital, shared and compact energy seemed to pull us all on. Everyone had an incredible desire to share their thoughts, to listen carefully to transmit their love. I really don’t know how I would done this, without all of them and without our incredible group hugs.
Thanks also to Olive3 who made us feel always at home! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!

I’m beyond grateful that my decision fell on All Yoga some months ago. I could not imagine any better training and especially no better teachers ! And that’s what made this month so super special to me.. You ! I’ll go home with a huge bag of insights about Yoga and: about myself. And that is exactly what you’ve taught me. It’s my journey, I do this for me. To, from and through myself. Even if some days were packed and hard & overwhelming, your kind words, your attitude and your motivation kept us together. Thank you so much ! And also hug thanks to Victor and Maria !!! So thankful to have you as my teachers!

The course was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for better teachers to guide us through the past 3 and a half weeks. David is incredibly talented at what he does and Sonia is on all round 10/10. I will miss meeting with everyone in the Shala each morning. Although the course was intense – very physically and mentally challenging – you have the support of the teachers and fellow students. Would recommend All Yoga to anyone asking to teach or just to deepen their own practice.

I was looking for a good, well-rounded YTT and I found it! The course gives you a good theoretical background of yoga and also anatomy. The daily practices of the MPS make you remember the sequence really well ! The connection of the mind and body is beautifully exampled by the teachers. At the end of the training all the pieces of the puzzles connected. This course is definitely physically demanding, but so worth it !!!

This course has been outstanding – I cannot even describe how amazing the whole training was: from the positive, dynamic, welcoming, grounding environment that was created through our teachers David and Sonia to challenging yet fun practices in which I learned something new about myself every time. It was a well-rounded training and I am incredibly grateful for this experience, the new knowledge, the amazing people I got to meet. I feel like something was missing in my life before I came here. I saw yoga as a physical activity, but this program changed not just my perspective of yoga as a whole (being not just a practice but rather a lifestyle), and the perspective of me and my life. I found my missing puzzle piece and I think through continuous practice and learning it will shape me even more. Thank you for our great teachers who gave their heart into every practice, every morning meditation and every class but also beyond. David, you are an amazing teacher, with an incredible talent to inspire others ! Sonya, you made the whole course complete with your strict yet sweet and kind personality, I will never forget this time and all these awesome people!

I couldn’t have asked for anything better than this experience to start my yoga journey. After five years of traveling the world and working hard at the same time, I was looking to go deeper into the soul’s journey and All Yoga has shown me which direction to take to continue with this self-development. I feel very lucky and so grateful that Sonia and David crossed my path. Two beautiful souls that will always be in my heart. Thank you.
