    Desde un principio tenía presente del porqué iba a realizar mi YTT de 200hrs con Essencial Yoga School. Desde un principio fueron muy claras con lo que se iba a realizar y comprometidas. Me gustó mucho la introspección que lleve durante el transcurso, las oportunidades, el apoyo y la base que tuve. Gracias a mis maestras por la exposición y su dedicación.

    I am grateful to my yoga school teachers for all the knowledge that I received. I acquired a lot of information about yoga philosophy, teaching techniques, meditation and others. I recommend the Essential School of Yoga to continue teaching other students.

    It was the ultimate experience that set the tone for the rest of my life. Jennifer Claudio, founder of Essential Yoga School. In this school you fall in love with every aspect of the practice. Guidance through the process, this school is something else! Theory, practice, different types of Yoga, Philosophy and how to marry everything together in the most gorgeous and creative sequence for a class. I definitely recommend a teacher training from Essential Yoga School even if becoming a Yoga Teacher is not on the cards for you, to use it just as a live guide. It changed my life for the better, my health the way i look at my body, my self, and the rest of the world. Thanks for so much! Thats was so much more than just a Yoga Teacher Training!

    Mi experiencia con Essential Yoga School, como profesional de la salud en Puerto Rico, fue una de gran crecimiento a nivel mental, espiritual, física y muchas otras. Estoy bien agradecido de haber tenido esta experiencia con el programa de esta escuela. Aprendí muchas cosas que aplico en mi campo profesional como Fitness Coach a nivel profesional individual y Corporativo. Gracias a esta experiencia, trabajo activamente como instructor de yoga, terapista vibracional y soundhealer, destrezas que adopte y conocí luego de conocer diferentes vertientes de la energía, sanación e intenciones en ambos Teacher Training (200hr y 300hr). En la actualidad aplico todo lo aprendido en estos Training con Essential Yoga School en todo tanto a niver personal como profesional. Les recomiendo a todos este Teacher Training con Essential Yoga School e invito a todos a atreverse a conocer las grandes capacidades que habitan en cada uno de ustedes y saber la capacidad que cada uno tiene para cambiar la vida tanto la suya como la de las personas que los rodean. Definitivamente se los recomiendo al 100%, si tuviera la oportunidad de tomar estos Cursos otra vez, de seguro lo tomaría nuevamente con Essential Yoga School.
