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 took the Sama Yoga Academy 200hr YTT in spring and it has been life changing for me. Rebekah and Angie have been incredibly supportive and are knowledgable, warm and generous about sharing their knowledge and supporting their students well beyond graduation. It's been a wonderful and transformative experience.

  Sama Yoga Academy is a loving, inclusive, supportive teacher training program. It perfectly balances self-study/ group learning, and philosophy/technique, all while encouraging you to reflect and grow as a teacher and an individual. I highly recommend learning with Rebekah and Angie; you will be lovingly welcomed into their community and guided with gentleness and compassion.

  YTT 200 at Sama Yoga Center has been the most profound, fulfilling experience of my life. The depth of knowledge Rebekah and Angie possess and are willing to share with others is astounding. From anatomy to philosophy, I gained a thorough understanding of every element of Yoga, which I will always carry with me. I have become more insightful, self-reflective and confident both on and off the mat, and I will be forever grateful for the love and support I've received from Sama Yoga Center.

They simply, are the best!:)

  The interactive learning was incredibly helpful. It is a very good place to learn the foundations of yoga instructing.

  I am so grateful to have built my teaching foundation at Sama. From the moment I first practiced in the studio, my body knew, "I'm home."
