As part of the Yoga Alliance Social Credentialing system, teachers that register with Yoga Alliance must submit a review of the RYS training program they completed.

Feedback from trainees provides Registered Yoga Schools with the opportunity to understand their trainees’ experiences in order to continually improve their trainings.

By choosing to display comments, schools enable trainees to provide insight into a school’s culture and training which helps potential trainees choose the right teacher training for their individual path with yoga.

  I am beyond blessed to have taken this specific YTT program, it is so deeply rooted in the tradition of Yoga, with information that is so delicately and diligently presented in such a way for easy and deep absorption. This is a program that changed my life in more ways than one, not only career-wise but also lifestyle. The lead instructor, Karla, is so devoted to Yoga as a whole that it truly shines through in preparation and holding of space as a teacher, as well as hosting it at a beautiful wellness center, Soderworld. It was not only education but also group therapy, and when graduation arrived, I and my fellow students all felt like we could go out and teach yoga the very next day with no hesitation, taking that beautiful way of holding space with us. I highly recommend this school and this teacher and am so very blessed to have been part of such a profound learning experience!

  This is traditional yoga teacher training course that continues the Krishnamacharya lineage and I'm very proud of being part of.

  This training has been completely transformative. Karla Cain's extensive experience, practice, and knowledge is unparalleled in my experience. Her attention to every detail of tradition is exemplary and deeply moving. The training is very intense and requires deep contemplation and self-examination, all of which is deftly, lovingly, and safely held by Karla. It is expert, fully rounded, demanding-but-so-rewarding training that I highly recommend.

  I loved this program. I loved the organization of it, the attention to detail, and the compassionate and caring support from the teacher, Karla, and my fellow classmates. I greatly appreciated the foundation of this program being in traditional yoga philosophy, providing a greater understanding for how the asanas fit into the overall picture of yoga and Indian tradition. I am extremely grateful to have been able to be a student under Karla and feel very supported and educated on taking the next steps in my chapter as a traditional yoga teacher.

  This program was above and beyond what I could have imagined. The instructor put so many little details into everything and has built a community I will cherish forever. I will never forget this experience.

  A very comprehensive course on the history and philosophy of traditional yoga practice. Training incorporated several teaching styles and methodology. Karla Cain gives detailed instruction and support while also being patient, kind, and understanding. Would highly recommend her courses to anyone.

  This course has opened my eyes and changed my life forever. I am so grateful to have chosen this course. I got a lot out of it, more than I could have hoped for. Karla is very knowledgable and has given me the building blocks to continue this practice for a lifetime. I would recommend this course to anyone. I would also take another class hosted by Karla. The only thing I would have changed is to have joined this class in person versus online.

  Karla’s training program was much more than I could have imagined! She has a wealth of knowledge that she graciously shared with us and I feel extremely prepared to begin teaching. Her use of virtual and in-person instruction was seamless and an excellent way to fit this program into my busy life.
