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.

  5 out of 5

  By: Melissa Moran Sep 03, 2018

  A year ago, I started the teacher training at Santosha School after several years of practicing there. As I entered the empty-nester stage of life, I sought to expand my knowledge of yoga and also to focus my path and to grow towards the Divine. The 200 hour program at Santosha has been an amazing introduction to the many ways I can develop personally as well as help my students grow through care and nurturing of mind, body, and spirit. The curriculum is inspirational because it encompasses so much more than the asanas; ayurveda, breathing, meditation, emotional care, communication, chanting, bodywork and more are essential aspects to this program. Because it is go-at-your-own-pace, I was able to linger with and explore subjects of greater interest. I feel confident in what I have learned, am quite comfortable teaching (having taught more than 50 classes at the school), and have a very solid foundation to build upon as I continue towards 500 hour certification at Santosha. And did I mention the supportive community? Long-time students, other teacher trainees, other teachers, and the larger school community participated in the classes where I was a student, plus attended the classes I taught, providing feedback and encouragement for my teacher training journey. With the Santosha School program, I wanted to grow as a whole person, and the 200 hour yoga teacher program exceeded my expectations!
