  5 out of 5

  By: Stephanie Clayton Oct 24, 2018

  Training Program held on Sep 16, 2018—Oct 10, 2018

  This Peak Beings Yoga Teacher Training was one of the best things I didn't even know I needed in my life. I chose this one kind of randomly based on the timing and a desire to deepen my own yoga practice, and, upon completing it, I left feeling that this had been THE perfect training for me, feeling the urge to teach, and most surprisingly, the CONFIDENCE that I would actually succeed at it. And I felt more confident and secure not only in regards yoga, but with myself in general, something that's in the past been a challenge. This training is set up to where, I believe, you can get as much out of it as you want, in whichever areas you choose to focus your yoga practice on (chanting, meditation, pranayamas, asanas, or the energy body, etc). Troy is very knowledgeable through his years of teaching (including 20 YTTs!!) and presents the content in a way that's organized and easy to digest and offers us students plenty of time and opportunities for our own self-discovery, which is an important foundation for any yoga practitioner. The "Unified" part is unique in that it presents a more realistic, adaptive and safe approach to the postures and prepares us students to teach a variety of classes to multiple levels of future students. As I'd imagine is the case with any 200-hour course, some days felt longer than others, and some days were draining for different reasons. But what was nice about this training is that being over 25 days, it probably provided more breaks and much-needed time to regroup and reset than so many of the shorter trainings. I also think it attracted a pretty amazing group from all over the world, which speaks to Troy because I know he took the time to text, email, and talk to make sure all of our questions were answered and that we were a good fit. With almost a month together, it would have been natural to become close as a group, but I swear we ended up like family (cheesy but true!), in big part due to the supportive environment that Troy created, and now I have quality friends all over the world to visit and take yoga classes from. Thanks Troy (and Tara) for such a wonderful experience!!!

  Syllabus Reflection

  The training was very organized and in a manner that was very conducive to learning. It was clear that Troy spent a lot of time and energy preparing and extracting the most important and relevant pieces.
