What I appreciated most about the YTT at the Bhakti Center was the program's accessibility (spread out over 8 months) and the teachers' and mentors' commitment to providing a comprehensive view of both asana, and yogic philosophy at large. I felt supported while being challenged and would recommend the program to any of my friends.

I would highly recommend Bhakti Center's 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training. The intense emphasis on the cultural and spiritual roots of yoga added to my own practice and teaching of yoga. Not only that, the devoted and seasoned teachers' focus on the correct position of poses, the correct structure of a class, as well as on effective teaching methods was discussed highly in depth. Additionally, the teachers were very accommodating and flexible in regards to students' ability to timely complete the training requirements. Plenty of resources were given to the students in order to grow and flourish as a future teacher. The teachers and mentors went above and beyond in order to have highly successful graduates. The endless faith, love, and support from everyone involved within this program was overwhelming, and I am now highly confident in my skills as a teacher after graduating from Bhakti Center's Yoga Teacher Training program.

My teachers Jamuna Jaya and Brinda Kumari introduced me to such a beautiful practice and reshaped me in the best possible way. So much love and respect, and I hope to carry what they taught me forward.

I had been practicing at the Bhakti Center for years before joining the YTT. The group was small, so there was a lot of time with the teachers. We learned more than just the poses, but learned about all the parts of yoga philosophy. I highly recommend the Bhakti Center to anyone looking to deepen their practice and prepare for teaching in a holistic and spiritual way.

I chose the Bhakti Center for my teacher training because I wanted to train with a school that was tied to a specific spiritual lineage and that offered part-time courses over a number of months to allow me to integrate the training into my day to day life. The Bhakti Center delivered this and much much more. I was extremely impressed by how knowledgeable and compassionate all of the teachers and program mentors were. I was also impressed by the emphasis placed on safety and alignment in the asana practice. Over a period of 8 months, I transformed physically, emotionally, and spiritually and found my voice as a yoga teacher. I would highly recommend this program to others.

The Bhakti Center is the place to go if you want to learn about asana AND yoga philosophy. They teach a strong foundation in the physical practice and just as importantly frame everything in the context of yoga philosophy, principles, and culture. There is so much to cover in a YTT and the teachers at The Bhakti Center are absolute experts who deliver the content with pure love and joy. Yes, the days are long but I always looked forward to spending 8+ hour days with my teachers and fellow students. 108% recommended! :)
