I recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in the yoga teacher training program at Yoga Mindfulness Berlin, and I cannot express enough how transformative and enlightening the experience was. From the moment I stepped into the studio, I was greeted with warmth and a sense of belonging that set the tone for the entire program. One of the standout aspects of this training program was the emphasis on providing amazing insights into the world of yoga and mindfulness. The carefully designed material covered a wide range of topics, from the history and philosophy of yoga to anatomy and alignment. Each lesson was thoughtfully structured, allowing us to delve deep into the subject matter and truly understand the essence of yoga. What truly sets this program apart is the way in which the material is presented. The teachers at Yoga Mindfulness Berlin have a unique ability to make complex concepts accessible and relatable. They effortlessly blend theory with practical exercises, ensuring that we not only understood the information intellectually but also experienced it firsthand. This hands-on approach made the learning process engaging and enjoyable. The material provided during the training program is not only valuable during the course but also serves as a great reference for a lifetime. The comprehensive manuals and resources provided are meticulously organized and serve as a constant source of inspiration and guidance. Whether I need to refresh my memory on a particular pose or delve deeper into the philosophy behind yoga, I know I can always turn to these materials for support. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the incredible individuals who made this program truly exceptional. The program director, Tatiana, deserves a special thanks for her honesty and dedication. She created an environment where we felt safe to explore and grow, always encouraging us to challenge ourselves and embrace our own unique journey. Her passion for yoga and mindfulness is contagious, and her guidance throughout the program was invaluable. Additionally, our teacher, Anna Maija, deserves recognition for her expertise and unwavering support. Her teaching style is both nurturing and empowering, allowing us to tap into our own potential and discover our authentic voice as future yoga teachers. Her patience and willingness to answer our questions and address our concerns made the learning experience even more enriching. The yoga teacher training program at Yoga Mindfulness Berlin exceeded all my expectations. The amazing insights, carefully designed material, and dedicated teachers have left an indelible mark on my yoga journey. I am forever grateful for the knowledge and skills I gained during this program, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a transformative and enlightening experience.

The Dynamic Mindfulness teacher training with Tatjana was truly wonderful. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Tatjana - she is an excellent teacher. The training transformed the way I move on the mat and live off of it! To this day I still find myself looking through my training notes and having new insights. :) I highly recommend this training with Dynamic Mindfulness. Thank you, Tatjana!

A wonderful yoga school accessible in Berlin or through online studies, providing education that sparks interest in curious & like-minded people, bringing them together to navigate the yoga world - always asking questions, discussing & moving mindfully. Mindful meditation in the heart of the practice is something unique and cannot be found easily in today's world.

I am truly thankfull for this enriching experience. Tatjana was a gentle, but precise teacher helping us all in the group to grow, by looking what is already Ok in our practice and teaching. Thank to this training I was able to believe in myself as a teacher. Last but not least, what Tatjana teaches about movement is safe and evidence based, which I think is important.

To what extent do you feel this program met the following learning objective; The student will become confident with human anatomy within the context of teaching yoga
Mostly
All the above were in the curriculum except for two points: 30. In class assissting - to my knowledge this is part of the advanced 300 hour teacher training at the studio. 37. It wasn't a requirement to attend classes from other schoold during the training or hand in a written reflection about it.

The dynamic mindfulness teacher training was transformational to my yoga practice. It changed my approach to my physical practice from one of striving to achieve to one of just being and accepting, a much more nurturing, grounding and mindful approach. I learned to question sources rather than take things as given facts. Questioning, for example, the benefits of going deeper in poses and that physically deeper is not always better – on the contrary. The benefits of practice vary greatly from person to person depending on their abilities and goals and it has sparked my interest in diving deeper into how yoga can become more inclusive and accessible. The fact that this training is based in Zen Buddhism was one of the reasons I chose it and the very grounded and down to earth knowledge and insights I gained in this area accompany me on a daily basis for which I am grateful.

This 200h TT conveys a good mixture of traditional knowledge and teaching and contemporary styles and insights. In my experience this teacher training really leads to self-compassion which effects the own praxis on the mat as well as daily life situations off the matt in a very positive way. Great insights I now will be able to share with other.
