My experience with the Chakra Yoga Teacher training course has exceeded all of my expectations. Not only have I developed the knowledge, skill and confidence to teach yoga, but I have let go of my fears. I feel like there is nothing I can't do and I have more energy then ever before. The sacred teachings in this course are inspiring and will change your life.

I feel the course has given me a good understanding of why people make choices and of emotions in others as well as in myself.
The Science of the Chakras certainly expanded my understanding of how to balance them. The mantras will always be in my heart. I am 49 years old and left my family for 3 months to take this course. It was the hardest thing I have ever done and at the same time it was the greatest gift I have ever given myself. This course was awesome. It has changed my life.

I have come to appreciate the fact that the things which present the most difficulties also bring the greatest rewards. By working through my resistance with singing and dancing throughout this course, I feel more lively, confident and whole within myself. Furthermore, I found the social interaction with the other students to accelerate my own personal growth and development. David's insight together with Marina's charisma harmonize to form the yin/yang that makes this course challenging, fun and inspirational for those willing to let go.

I feel like I have come in to touch finally with the complete proper breathing. Through all my years of exploring yoga no one has aver taken the time to teach any breath. I am very grateful for this gift...I feel I have a very good base understanding of the Chakras & am very excited to further my experiences with practice...The whole dance - chanting - mantra was great...I feel very inspired & confident...now I want to pass on these teachings to anyone who is open to receive them... Thank the universe & especially the both of you David & Marina for sharing your knowledge with me & being such awesome people & teachers. --- Michelle (2000 graduate)

My understanding of Yoga as a Science is probably one of the greatest gifts I have received. I now have a grand view of Yoga as a multi-faceted whole, which can be used to change and harness the energy of the mind, body and spirit - to empower a person towards their personal truths.... I feel the intuitive knowledge I already had as a healer has been greatly expanded with the quantum physics aspect andscientific information this course has given me.

Chelsea Wise (2001 graduate)

Teacher training with David and Marina has been so much more than teacher
training. The Chakra System has deepened my practice, increasing my
knowledge of the asanas, kriyas, and pranayama and the many many
physiological benefits of them... while also leading me towards seeing the
true questions I need to focus on if I wish to move forward along my
spiritual path. Even moreso, we learnt about the wonderful energetic world
and how to see beyond. This course was an awakening experience,
comprehensive yet practical, incredible yet down to earth. I cannot thank
David and Marina enough for the gifts of their guidance and great wisdom,
expanding my yoga practice and my experience of life in all directions.: www.yogaheart.com

I have noticed that in many ways my mind has become stiller than it was when I began the program...I guess the greatest benefits which sum everything up is a greater awareness of my self - physical self, mental self and spiritual self - as well as the universal self which is all around us.

This Yoga training program has again changed my life... AWESOME, I have never felt so great in my whole life...You are both amazing teachers and you ooze confidence and teach with such open hearts it is inspiring. I hope I will do the same for my students. --- Micheline (2000 graduate)

Benefits - probably too numerous for me to recall - I felt the benefits of better breathing immediately - more energy and more effective exercising. I can feel my whole body opening up when I breath...I am developing a more positive attitude & a greater sense of compassion for others that I hope I can maintain. I have felt a spiritual connection that I know has been missing in my life for a long time - being somewhere with so much positive energy every day was rejuvenating and empowering...(the course was) well organized, well paced and well taught. I felt we all got lots of help & suggestions while doing the classes...I feel I have a whole tool kit of stuff now with which to work on myself & how to relate to the world. I am geared up about teaching in some capacity & continuing my own yoga practice...I don't think I've ever taken a course & felt I'd gotten so much from it! Thanks. --- Sue

"The yoga Teacher's Training course has really transformed my like on all levels. The way I eat, breathe, sleep, dream and participate in day to day life. I've developed a strong, rooted sense of Self and have fully awakened to the presence of the Divine, both internally and externally. It has provided me with tools to cope with my emotional issues and techniques to resolve those very same blocks. These two months have fully inspired me, restored my faith in a Higher Path and given me the courage to walk it." --------- Angela

"The teacher's training course has given me so much. It has given me a daily yoga practice that is practical and integrated into my daily life. It has allowed me to finally find the guru I was searching for: my inner guru. And it has shown me a way to respond to life and my spiritual path with positive reinforcement." --------Heather

"I have learned so much it is hard to explain what it has done for me. I think this will become more apparent as I continue the practices. But one of the things that come to mind is how it has increased my confidence. The information I have learned and incorporated into my world view has allowed me to see a larger picture and not get bogged down by details, plans and what ifs. There isn't mush questioning in my head, its more doing what I feel is right & I think this is one of the most important things I needed to learn from this course........Coming into this course I had a rough understanding of where the chakras were & the colors they had. This course has certainly expanded my understanding of them considerably. This understanding of the chakras I can now apply to all things of the universe. The different energies of the chakras and how they interrelate and how they are present in all things has expanded my view of the world........A fabulous course! Thank you David & Marina. I have experienced so much personal growth in these past two months. This was just the direction I needed at this time in my life.---Andrew

"I feel that this course has rounded out my understanding of the Science of Yoga. Before this course my foundation in Hatha Yoga was strong and I had some knowledge of pranayama techniques, now I feel that I have strengthened my practice with the addition of the pranayama techniques that I have learned as part of this course. This program has allowed me to see the value, both physical and spiritual in the other six limbs of yoga which I had never really understood or felt compelled to include in my personal practice. I had forgotten how fun it really is to tune the mind and body. My militant attitude towards my practice in the past has changed to something more compassionate and flowing. I don't practice now because "I have to do 1&1/2 hours of yoga every day", I practice because it's what I want to do more than anything else. This is because I have a better understanding of the "why" behind it and a better understanding of myself as a Yogini. Thank you for that." ---Susanne

Thank you so much David and Marina! This course has been one of the most positive steps in my life. I feel like I have been on "the path" for quite a while. Now I feel like the path has been illuminated and defined much more than before. The magical glimpses have become gazes. So basic and profound, even knowing the breath as I now do, I feel I have the tools, the workbook, for my being. I feel clearer, more energetic, positive and inspired. Just as wonderful > people detect my enthusiasm for yoga and want to learn more.........I have experienced the chakras directly on a visual and energetic awareness level. I will continue to follow the chakra routines you have given us and do kundalini meditation and also read a lot more. There are many layers of understanding and I have only penetrated the first few. ---- Tara
