TESTIMONIALS
"This yoga teachers training course was thoroughly enjoyable throughout. As well as meeting some amazing fellow trainees/yogis and starting genuinely meaningful friendships, I learnt so much about the different aspects of yoga and gained so much wisdom to use on and off my mat. After each session I excitedly looked forward to the next and was keen to learn more. The inspirational Kathy Ran made the whole course run with such ease, with her gentle encouragement, planting seeds of self-belief in each of us as students. Kathy does not only teach you how to become a great teacher, but also gives exceptional advice on how to start your yoga business. Each workshop and lecture offers so much information on the history of yoga, anatomy and so much more. Whether you are looking to deepen your knowledge or to start teaching, I would definitely recommend this course! You will embark on a personal journey that will teach you so much and give you different perspectives on many things, not just yoga. I’m so grateful that I was able to take part in this unforgettable TT course, so if you are thinking of joining, do not waste any more time contemplating it and sign up! You will not regret it!" Emma
"I honestly don’t think there are enough words to describe the overall training or even such a way to try and sum it up. Every part of it worked for me from the theoretical studies to the physical practice of Yoga and even the specialist workshops. Kathy has created such a holistic approach to the course that all areas are covered; I have broadened my knowledge not only of yoga philosophy and the different styles within Yoga but Yoga as a lifestyle and living as a Yogi. Some aspects will challenge you physically and encourage you to push yourself to a deeper place within your practice but to also stay grounded and enjoy the journey itself too. I have laughed, I have fallen over, I have screamed with excitement when I finally got a pose and honestly I even cried at one point (tears of joy of course) but overall I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. Kathy’s energy and the collective love felt at Black Lotus Yoga and Yoga university really are second to none! If you’re thinking about Yoga teacher training and looking where to study then STOP looking and thinking and join Kathy for the next one. Let the training bring out your inner light and help you connect to yourself, your higher self. " Kyle
