This training experience was phenomenal. I will treasure the materials & knowledge I received for the rest of my life. The true art and science of yoga was taught in great depth and made relevant to modern life. The quality of training is stellar and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to truly infuse yoga into their life. This training is awesome for a yoga teacher or student to understand and integrate yoga into daily life. This helped me become a better teacher & human. I can't wait to participate in continuing education with this school in the future.

I cannot recommend learning under Nathalie and the Shanti Yoga Training School enough. I’ve truly enjoyed the breadth and diversity of material covered, both in the 200 and 300-level trainings. Whether in person or via Zoom, meeting other students and navigating my way through the online learning platform was a fulfilling experience. Having so much time to go through the material at our pace and diving deeper into subjects we want and enjoy was very lovely. The quality of the training from Nathalie, as well as access to her knowledge and that of other teachers and practitioners within the community, is rare. When I began researching yoga training, I knew I wanted to learn classical-style yoga, and that's exactly what I received.

I am so grateful that I was connected with Nathalie and Shanti Yoga Training School. Nathalie's passion for the Yogi's path shines through in all her teachings. I gained confidence in myself as a teacher and learned countless lessons, stories, and nuggets of wisdom from Nathalie in both my 200 and 300-hr training with Shanti. While continuing my trainings, my intention was to deepen my spiritual knowledge of yoga and tradition. Nathalie weaves in yoga philosophy with all her teachings and makes it accessible to all. It is an honor to continue this lineage.

Mariesa, I am grateful for the trust you have placed in me as your teacher and mentor. Your contributions to Shanti YTT School, Shanti Yoga Shala (studio), and to my life as a whole have been immeasurable. It brings me immense joy to collaborate with you and to continue growing together on this lifelong journey of yoga, both on and off the mat. Your students are incredibly fortunate to have you, and I am in awe of the beautiful studio and vibrant community you have at Island Movement—though it’s no surprise given your dedication and passion. With love and admiration, I eagerly await all the incredible creations you’ll bring into the world, knowing I will always be here to support you every step of the way. Namaste - Nathalie

I truly could not have been more happy with my teacher training experience! Nathalie is a very dedicated and patient teacher. Her depth of knowledge is unparalleled and the New Orleans+ area is so lucky to have her! Her teacher training offers a wonderful combination of classic knowledge (historical information about yoga practitioners, the yoga lineage, Sanskrit terms, etc.) along with flexibility and creativity. It is often hard to find programs which are not either too rigid or not rooted in traditional yoga. The in-person portions of training were incredibly informative and the online platform is full of very helpful information. Nathalie is a great hands-on teacher, and I feel very prepared to begin teaching my own classes after working with her. What a joy!

I was able to be one of Nathalie's students many years ago 2002. When the opportunity came to join her live in person teacher trainings last year, I knew I had to study with her again. She is a seasoned yoga teacher and lead trainer of Shanti Yoga Training school, firmly established in her practice with a vast knowledge of traditional yoga and current yoga practices. This program provided guidance to deepen my practice on and off the mat, as well as inspired me to teach again with confidence. As a busy Physical Therapist business owner, it was great to be able to go the the portal at my own pace, but I'm so grateful for the in-person yoga practices I was able to experience. I highly recommend becoming one of Nathalie’s students in any yoga class, course, or yoga teaching training. She is truly an inspirational yogi.

Shanti Yoga Training school provided a comprehensive training program from lineage, philosophy, human anatomy and movement, teaching beginners and diverse demographics, subtle energy and meditation, to intelligent sequencing, alignment, injury prevention, and the business of yoga. Nathalie Croix is a teacher and facilitator, as well as, a coach and mentor. As a teacher, she was accessible and responsive. Nathalie's living yoga as a healing art resonates in all she does. She invests her time, energy, expertise, and wisdom in each individual. It is an honor to be her student.
