Yoga Teacher Training Testimonials & Reviews

At the beginning of this yoga teacher training, I never thought I could overcome it because it seemed harder than I expected.
But day by day, I forced myself to adapt to the situation and tried my best in all aspects of the course.
I would never forget the day I had to go out of the class during the practice bursting in tears because I was so damn tired. But I motivated myself to keep going because I knew after this training, what I gained is not only physical strength but also lots of mental toughness. One of the other challenges was that I am don’t speak English as my first language. Sometimes it was hard to catch up with lectures or conversations with other members and teachers. However, friends and teachers here are amiable, and they are always helpful. A lot of experience and memories gained.
Thank you, David (x2), Seline, Pine, Dr. Ganesh, Kam and all classmates for this great experience.
Love, Tequila

I am very grateful for this experience, for the people I got to know and for the teachers who shared their knowledge. It has been very intense and emotional, to say the least. Tears, blood, and sweat, but also laughter, smiles, and joy. I am leaving this yoga teacher training feeling more confident as a yoga teacher, and ready to share my knowledge.

To whoever considering this yoga teacher training, I definitely recommend it. At some points, you might feel like you want to quit and it is too much. But stick with it - it's worth it, and the teachers are there to guide you through it.

Thank you to the wonderful teachers, Seline, Pine, David and David (and All Yoga). Hope to meet you again in the future!

A challenge of the training was the program’s intensity. Many hours of training and lectures. Lots of information to absorb. At one point, I was deficient, pushing myself too far, forgetting to listen to my body or allow myself to heal and take time to come back. Practicing self-love is often very challenging, but I definitely learned to practice more self-love during the YTT.

Also, I am not going to miss the hill to the Shala or the hard beds at the Beam :-). However, I am going to miss the beautiful nature and the good people and teachers I have met!

Hugs and lots of love,
Anne Sofie

I found this yoga teacher training to be very rigorous. Given my personal challenges, the course sometimes felt challenging for me. However, the instructors were very knowledgeable, compassionate and kind towards me.

When you pack for your travel, be prepared to accommodate to the heat, humidity and the insects. However, the staff at the shared dorm at Beam bungalow are very exemplary. Besides, you can always choose to have more privacy staying at Sanctuary, a nearby resort with private rooms.

As we were advised beforehand in the brochure that we received, it's very helpful to practice Ashtanga or Hot yoga before the training. You will be much better prepared physically and mentally when joining the teacher training.

I am a 42-year-old transgender woman, having recently undergone major facial surgery. In retrospect, I was not physically or mentally prepared, nor was I a proficient enough yogini. The course is challenging, so if you travel from afar like I did, try to arrive 2 or 3 days in advance to rest your body before the course starts.

Koh Phangan is breathtakingly beautiful, and the Thai locals are warm, kind and adorable. If you embark on this journey, you will laugh, cry, be exhausted yet able to deepen your practice, make friends and have fun as well! Goodluck and Namaste!

I was the only son in a family of three, and was naturally pampered and sheltered by my mom and relatives. My (and their) first worry was whether I would be able to survive on my own during the span of the yoga teacher training course. What would be the living condition? Would I have enough money? What if I fell sick? How safe is the place?

As the training comes to an end, I could honestly say that everything is all well and good. No, even better. Much better than I had expected.
The teachers were all fantastic and knowledgeable in their ways, and are always there for you whenever you need a helping hand.
The food selection was vast and delectable, and will probably not kill your wallet as long as you prepare a sufficient amount of money.
And the students, formerly strangers, now my close friends - what a journey we had!

The experience was amazing, and I'm sad that it's coming to an end.

But is it? I think not. It's just the start of a brand new journey together. Thank you All Yoga Training for bringing out this teacher side of me.

I'll see you all again soon!

P.S. Thank you also for my tan!
P.P.S. New students? Don't forget to bring insect repellents!

An amazing journey!
Thank you so much for your endless positive energy and support. Every single minute of every single day, all of the teachers were there for me, lift me up, listen to me, and answer every question I had.
There were moments of physical and mental struggle, but the support and light-heartedness from all of the teachers made my heart happy, and my mind open. After just one month, I feel so much more connected to myself. I can now take what I’ve learned back into the world - for myself and to share with others.
Thank you for everything - I needed this experience!
Pine & David & Seline are exceptional people – you’re the best!
Love, Lisa

This yoga teacher training has been a great experience, and I couldn’t have picked a better place to do my yoga teacher training.
David, Seline, and Pine were great instructors, and I learned a lot from each of them as they encouraged and challenged me. Not only do I feel more confident in my own practice, but I believe I now have the tools needed to become a teacher myself. I really enjoyed the physical training and getting to practice not only Ashtanga yoga, but other styles as well. Getting to learn more about yoga history and theory as well as anatomy helped round out the training. While meditation has always been something I’ve struggled with, it helped me learning different techniques to help keep things interesting and help me find something that works for me.

Where do I even begin?
The thought of writing this testimonial means that I will be leaving my teachers and my forever yoga family shortly. That is something I am not ready for.
This yoga teacher training changed every aspect of my life for the better. Not only did I deepen my practice and learn to teach what I love, but I also learned to find my voice and teach from my heart.
My teachers and teammates unlocked a part of my heart and something that was deeply buried. I found my true self, and I love that. Now I am sure that I can return home and share this practice from my heart.
Every emotional breakdown and uplifting breakthrough was met with a hug, a high five, and a support group that I love with everything that I am. I wish I could take my whole yoga family home with me. I love them all dearly, and if it weren’t for All Yoga Training, I wouldn’t be the person I am today, and I may have never found my true self. For that, I will forever be grateful.
So much love and I can’t wait to come back, Erin

Anything that is worth your time is going to be challenging, and this course was definitely a challenging journey. The teachers; David, Seline, David, and Pine were terrific. Each bringing their experiences on and off the mat in a loving and straightforward manner. They were always there for everyone, with so much love.

I had an amazing experience. Opened my mind and shifted my paradigm. I'm so thankful to have met so many amazing and kind people. I'm not that great of a writer but imagine meeting someone for the first time, and they give you the best hug in the world. That's what the course felt like, uncomfortable at first, but to be left with a full heart.

I had no idea about what to expect from this Yoga teacher training, as I came with a lot of fear and self-doubts. I applied for the course at the last minute because my best friend gave me the courage to join, and I thought I would never have come on my own. I started the training as a broken person with a lock in my heart, and pain from my past experiences. But I have been touched from every single person here in the training, in their very unique ways. Little by little, they made me feel safe enough to finally unlock a place in my heart that was closed for so long. You could call me the cry baby of the group, but looking back, I am so proud of how far I have come. Can't really find any other word than "Thank you!!!".

All Yoga Teacher Training was physically and mentally challenging. What I was looking for, finally was found in this experience.

The Mind can be so powerful that sometimes, you couldn't see the end of the thoughts and emotions. But with all the techniques and lessons that have been given in the course, I could see the pathway onto How to address my life and others'.

My goal of doing this yoga teacher training is because I know how overwhelmed the mind can be in life, and I know I´m not the only one feeling so. As a nurse, my passion and goal in life is to care, help and look after people. But first of all, I have to be able to take good care of myself - through yoga.

So, thank you for sharing all this amazing knowledge and tools for me to be able to make my goals happen! I am on my way to be successful!
