    Loved the 200hr program - well structured, one meeting a month required us to build a practice.

    Wonderful, life-changing program. The Bhakti Center does an excellent job of teaching its students the traditional principles of yoga that expand way beyond the physical practice. It's well balanced with philosophical teachings, asana practice, and practical wisdom, including lessons on enhancing one's lifestyle with Aryuveda to starting a yoga business. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a deeper, more spiritual connection to yoga. I am eternally grateful for my teachers, Jamuna and Brinda.

    The teachers and mentors at the Bhakti Center provided me with a well-rounded and comprehensive knowledge of yoga, asanas and yoga philosophy. After this course, I feel fully ready to teach a vinyasa yoga class to a class, which is why I initially began my training! I really enjoyed the hybrid structure of the course, and that it was spread over 8 months. This allowed me to really dive into the topics we discussed and have plenty of time to practice. If I had to offer feedback to the program, I would recommend that attending kirtan and soul talks is not required. I feel that these community group meetings had no impact on my ability to teach a yoga class or deepen my personal practice.

    Thank you so much for joining us on this journey! It was so great to see you grow as a teacher. We really appreciate your feedback, however, in the Bhakti tradition, kirtan is an essential part of our practice, and as one of the three pillars of our spiritual journey, we believe in Sangha regularly to discuss yogic philosophy is fundamental to our growth as a yoga practitioner and teacher. Hope you enjoyed these experience! - Brinda (Susan)

    I have such a fond and positive impression of the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training offered by Bhakti Center. My experience with the Spring 2023 program was so special. The teachers, Brinda and Jamuna, are masterful yogis who possess a wealth of knowledge about their field, while still being incredibly kind and humble. My mentors, Jillian and Chelsea, were encouraging and resourceful. The readings and written assignments really strengthened my understanding of not only asana but the philosophical and spiritual underpinnings of yoga. I think anyone who studies with Bhakti Center will be well-equipped to build a robust personal or professional practice.

    The Bhakti Center YTT was transformative and an experience I will cherish for my lifetime. The asana instruction was incredibly thorough; we broke down a different class of poses each weekend. After the program, I feel confident in teaching a vinyasa sequence with modifications and adjustments. The best part of the program was the yoga philosophy. The instructors really live by the yogic philosophy on and off the mat and I loved learning what yoga truly means and how we can practice it in all aspects of our life. Lastly, this program did a fantastic job at fostering a community. I left feeling forever connected and humbled by my peers, the ever-knowledgeable instructors, the amazing mentors, and the large Bhakti Center community. I could not recommend this program more.
