    Yandara is an amazing yoga institute. You will receive a comprehensive training in each of the modules they offer. The teachers are all experienced yoga practitioners and teachers and they offer you everything they know with open hearts. Yandara has become like a family to me and I believe anyone who attends their yoga training will be back for more and will feel the same way. The community is strong and welcoming to everyone.

    I would highly recommend the YTT at Yandara Yoga Institute. If you would like to learn to teach yoga beyond asanas its the place for you. I enjoyed the community, the meditation and breathwork sessions as well as the kirtan in the evenings. The teachers are very knowledgeable, the food and the location are amazing.

    The 300-Hour Teacher Training at Yandara Yoga Institute is incredibly healing and life-changing. The wisdom that the instructors share is invaluable, and everything is done intentionally from the heart. Rather than simply learning more about yoga and practicing advanced techniques, you will take the teachings of yoga and fully immerse yourself into what it is to actually live them. It transformed my way of thinking and experiencing myself and everything around me. I can't recommend this program enough. Not to mention, you stay and live in the most tranquil community of loving people, and are completely nourished in terms of food, accommodations, and other offerings. (I also highly recommend Reiki with Allison - she is a radiant light source in this world.)

    My experience at Yandara was way more than expected. This extremely beautiful place is enhanced by it's facilitators mindful and joy filled guidance to a deeper connection to the practice of yoga. Every offering of wisdom is handed out with such love and care, it was such a pleasure to be in the company of so many compassionate and authentic people. I feel like I gained skills to become a more well rounded yoga teacher, but also the skills to LIVE yoga and share with all of the people in my life how to create and nurture our relationship with nature, the true essence of our being. I miss it there, and all of the people I met. I cannot wait to go back.
