  It has been a wonderful experience being able to train as a teacher from the hand of David and surrounded by his wonderful community. Super enriching training and super motivating. I you live in Miami, I highly recommend it.

  I had been a member of Energy Yoga for quite a while and it was obvious when I decided to take my teacher training, this will be the program of choice. I was blown away, once again by David's knowledge and passion, this was not only a training but a growing experience. When I decided to do it it was like many others, just for myself, to learn more about yoga and aide in my healing process. David's love and dedication make you want to go beyond that, all of a sudden you're considering the inconceivable, all of a sudden you're teaching a class to your closest friends an you find yourself wanting more. The classes are interactive and full of information, you become one with your classmates and form lifetime bonds. I would recommend this teacher training over and over again.

  Arlet, Thank you for being a part of the class and the beautiful review. We were truly blessed to have you in the program and I miss all of our adventures we had during the program, like the paddle board yoga class we had. It was such a great experience.

  David is one of the most unique, genuine, loving, and dedicated yoga practitioners I’ve met. It’s with a deep conviction of the heart, that I unconditional recommend David and Energy Yoga Center for teacher training. David is one of those rare people you meet in life that you never forget, and I know that as a yoga instructor, people will be taken on an unforgettable yoga journey like none other.

  For a 200 Hour program, it is exactly what it needs to be: personable, knowledgeable, and patient towards new students. David meets each student where they are and works with them to get them to a place he sees them. I know he did that with me. I'm eternally grateful for the time he spent pushing me in the directions I needed to go. Off i go now.

  I found David's book to be very comprehensive as an initial training to be certified to teach yoga. He does a fantastic job at encouraging student-teachers to teach a pose during classes, which I think is a great way for us to gain experience while we are in the training. I would have enjoyed more practice in sequencing classes. I liked having to focus on teaching a couple poses a week but what I found lacking was the ability to easily sequence poses together and remember the Sanskrit terms. I know this is only the beginning of training and ease in teaching will come in time. Nevertheless, the training could have even shorter sequence practices spread throughout the training. (Perhaps 15-30min sequence practice in combination with teaching poses.) Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I am grateful to have met all my fellow trainees!

  Thank you Mariela, With Covid-19, unfortunately we did not get as much hands on sequencing as we would have liked, but thank you very much for the feedback. Hopefully we will get back to normal soon and you can always attend future classes complimentary if you want to retake the sequencing portion after Covid-19 is finally over...

  This 300-hour of Yoga Training program was life-changing and a must-do if you are planning to continue to teach yoga. I learned so many things from different teachers. David was exceptional as he always is and so was Sam. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

  Energy Yoga is 'Home'! I cannot think of a better way to describe the experience I am currently living by being a part of this wonderful community. I have met amazing people who lift each other up with positive, encouraging and learning opportunities. David is a teacher who genuinely invests in each and every student and that is what makes this yoga journey even more rewarding. David's book 'The Path of Light' is a well written and meticulously put together teachings of yoga. In the end I just want to thank each and everyone who made yoga what it means to me today, my teacher, my family and my friends. Namastey! :)

  Even though we had to take around half of our teacher training practices online because of COVID-19 this year, the training was great! It was very insightful for me learning how yoga got started and how it has progressed and changed through the years and the professor was engaging and able to provide great tips and alignment tools to improve our teaching. I was very happy to do my YTT with David Yglesias as he was always available to answers our questions and do any extra practices that we felt we needed. Thank you Energy Yoga for this life-changing course where I met so many like-minded persons that now I can call friends and for improving my confidence and certainty that having a Yoga practice can help so many people feel and live better!
