TESTIMONIALS

"I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from this teacher training. During the Immersion, I deepened
my practice and knowledge
of yoga. In the training, I furrther deepened my yoga practice but also gained the skills/knowledge to be an Anusara teacher. It was
great to feel everything
slowly come together."

"The teacher training expanded the growth and
self awareness I developed
in the Immersion, but then
added organized, practical
and effective teaching instruction. I am so grateful
to Anusara and Robyn for
giving me such a solid foundation to be the teacher my students need me to be."

"My favorite part about the training was the observing
and assisting and class discussions about it. I learned so much about different body types and how to enhance their poses."

"I enjoyed the heartful approach that you brought
to this training. You have really embodied the principles - alignment and heart."

"Robyn, you are a delight. Thank you for your devotion, spirit, commitment and who you are in our community."

"I liked everything. Teaching to each other with you going around and giving advice was great, and the small class size."

"I enjoyed the blend of all aspects: philosophy, asana, demos, etc. and developing community."

"You really have a great program! All the driving from Oregon has been worth it!"

"I liked learning the hands-on adjustments. They're like instant yoga gratification!"

"I loved the yoga therapy workshops. Seeing and assisting a full specturm of bodies and ailments was SO educational. The workshops also reinforced the basics of Anusara Yoga."

"I loved the pranayama,adjustments, demonstrations, group practice, readings and observing classes."

"I learned so much about teaching yoga and have become much more con-
fident in my skills as a teacher."

"I loved learning how to put
it all togehter from beginning to end with a theme and all the practice teaching on
each other."
