This is a very complete training, from the philosophy to the adjustments. Gerald encouraged me to be disciplined with my practice and I saw the results soon enough, it also helped me to have a better understand of the adjustments when I had to practice with another classmate. Gerald has studied with great yoga teachers and I was able to access all that knowledge within this certification.

I'm a professional dancer that has been training yoga for several years, I was really excited about studying this program and wanted to take this step for a long time. In my personal experience, seemed hard to find peace in the teachers words or approach, there I found lots of really good and valuable information but it was a big challenge to experience namaste.

Dear Juan. Glad you came to take a teacher program intensive with us. We learn lots from every student that comes to our doors. We always want to insure our students are satisfied with the training they receive. I have to be honest and tell you I am surprised to receive a grade 6 out of 10 Our training has expectations, homework, timeliness. I clearly remeber your training: You couldn't sleep at night because you were used to working overnight. You arrived late for class on several occasions with no sleep which incurred a reprimand. You consistently did not turn the expected homework or could not perform it in front of the class so it woud accumulate more and more frustration. If you feel you were treated any differently than your classmates I would like to know. I am sorry you feel our program did not fulfill your expectations. Please kindly let us know how we can improve for other students. Thank-you for your feedback it is very important to us

Haber estudiado en Shala Ananda con Gerald fue definitivamente la mejor decisión para comenzar mi viaje a través del yoga, tomar mi práctica de manera profesional y cumplir una más de mis metas de vida. Sin duda lo recomiendo, las clases están llenas de información muy completa y muy bien explicada, una de las técnicas de meditación proporcionadas requiere mucha práctica, pero es asombrosa para enfocarte en el aquí y el ahora, agradezco a Gerald por compartir sus conocimientos con tanta dedicación y sobre todo por mantener la esencia del YOGA.

Silver lining of this pandemic was allowing YTTs to go online. If not for that, I'd never have been able to take this training and had this opportunity. Gerald is incredibly knowledgeable and many of the concepts and practices I wouldn't have gotten from other programs. This was exactly what I needed and exactly when I needed it.
