Testimonials

My experience with the Yoga Teacher Training Course has been truly wonderful. I am leaving with much more than a teaching certificate. I have learned so much in terms of Asanas (postures), Vedanta philosophy, and the Yogic way of life. The teachers were exceptional and surpassed all my expectations.
Chaitanya is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor making classes productive yet always light-hearted and fun. As Chaitanya would say I am leaving “ridiculously happy”.
I would recommend this course to anybody interested in a Yoga-teacher training course.
Birgitte Barkenaes - Norway

This course has inspired, challenged and pushed me to be more at peace with my physical practice, and my spiritual and mental wellness. I have learnt to appreciate each moment as it comes and not to worry about the small things in life. The Teachers Training has helped me gain valuable knowledge of the art of Yoga and Yogic philosophy. This course will help anyone who is interested in exploring Yoga and deepening their practice. I have noticed a dramatic difference in my practice and peace of mind. More importantly, the course has taught me the art of teaching and being a teacher, and continues to inspire me to learn more!
Alice - Russia

It has been an honor to be taught by Chaitanya and his very special way of really allowing Yoga to be a complete experience. Through skillful knowledge and intuition, he meets the class like every day was the first. He has an incredible ability to sense the need of the group and the individual. His knowledge goes beyond the anatomical posture and guides the way to sense the true core of our existence. I felt complete trust for him as a teacher and as a person. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to share his wisdom and laughter.
Charlotte Woodward - England

I’ve never wanted to write a testimonial for a teacher, but I’m compelled to share with anyone who is seeking a Yoga teacher that they have found one of the best. Chaitanya is a gifted and inspirational teacher. His beautiful nature and love for laughter come through in all of his teachings making even intense Asanas or mind-boggling Kriyas, a wonderful experience. In my group of 25 on the Teacher Training course, I nearly always heard the word “love” in any sentence which included “Chaitanya”. His teaching is easy to love as he has a way to animate any story or practice. I treasure the whole experience of having Chaitanya as my teacher and recommend him in the highest way.
Natalia - Russia

Chaitanya is a wonderful human being. He is a fount of knowledge. He manages to be serious, precise, fun and joyful in his teaching. Just writing about him puts a huge smile on my face, remembering the most communicative and “expansive” laugh I’ve ever heard. He is kind, really caring for his students, perceptive, passionate, though calm. He took us on many kinds of Yogic journeys…depending on the mood and energy of the day. Yes, Chaitanya is truly one of the best Yoga teachers I’ve ever met, due to his knowledge and his heart.
