Testmonials:
This has been one of my favorite and most important life experiences Roger and Val are exemplary examples of where yoga can take you as a teacher and an individual. This has been a beautiful beginning to what I hope is a life full of yoga.
Amy
The teacher training program was one of the most enriching experiences of my life. It exceeded my expectations and took me much deeper into my yoga path. I can honestly say I am a different person today because of the program. Yes, I now teach yoga. But far beyond that, yoga is now truly part of the fiber of who I am.
The program is exceptionally well run. Val and the other leaders of the program are first rate. The best way I can describe it is that their teaching itself truly embodies all of the principles of yoga.
You learn a great deal from the people you meet and your shared experiences together. They become your teachers, your confidantes and people who will likely be lifelong friends.
I was nervous when I went into the program because I didn’t have that many years of yoga experience. But the program is constructed in a way that allows everyone to start where they are and experience immense levels of personal growth.
Michael Reich
The Teacher Training program at the Lotus Pond was an incredible experience. The program was very organized and the teachers were extremely knowledgeable. From the beach to the mountains, the one week intensives balanced the program perfectly. Not only did this prepare me for the world of teaching yoga but also taught me a lot about myself and I a made friends I would have for the rest of my life.
Namaste,
Heather Brandt
