    Yandara came highly recommended to me and it did not disappoint. Their program blended the technical hands on teaching of asanas along with yogic philosophy. I gained confidence teaching because we taught in front of each other regularly. All of this was bolstered with evenings of kirtan, as well as, spiritual and personal growth practices built into their programing. There location along the shores of the pacific provided all the necessary creature comforts while allowing for deep connection to nature. This was an absolutely beautiful and well thought out program.

    I had a wonderful experience with Yandara's YTT in Sweden. It was a complete and balanced training. I am thankful for all the teachers and friends I made there. I feel like I have the tools to teach and continue learning and evolving. Thank you!

    Attending Yandara for yoga teacher training was a true gift. Yandara teacher training is loving and kind. It is challenging and informative. Yandara teacher training sets it's students up for success and confidence. In addition to an impeccably thought out teacher training, Yandara offers the opportunity to be in a stunning setting beside the ocean and surrounded in nature. The food is nutritious and delicious and is cooked from the heart every day. The teachers are incredible. Their knowledge and support is truly amazing. Yandara is a place that is filled with love. It had a powerful impact on me both professionally as well as personally. I highly recommend Yandara for yoga teacher training.

    A truly special and wonderful school, instructors and space. Yandara offers an amazing, transformative experience by immersing students in the most supportive environment possible. Everything from the lectures, yoga classes, nature, ceremonies and meals offered contributed to this wonderful YTT. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking into deepening their practice.

    Yandara was an absolutely incredible experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a yoga teacher training program. Yandara is located in such a magical place right next to the ocean, but what makes the program so amazing are the caring, authentic, and dedicated teachers who go above and beyond. I learned so much about each pose, body movements and anatomy, and structuring an asana class, but what really stood out was how much the program healed me and brought me back home to myself. Being at Yandara truly changed me for the better and has inspired me to pursue more alignment in my life and career. I couldn't be more grateful for the experience and the true friendships that developed.

    This yoga teacher training was above all my expectations. It was absolutely life-changing and I was so lucky to share this experience with the most wonderful people from all around the world. My yoga teachers Christopher, Nicolina and Therese are just absolutely amazing. Their knowledge and their kindness is just outstanding. They guided us through these weeks of practice in Sweden and helped us through every step - physically and mentally. I can just say thank you for everything you did. This is nothing I could ever pay back with money!
