As part of the Yoga Alliance Social Credentialing system, teachers that register with Yoga Alliance must submit a review of the RYS training program they completed.

Feedback from trainees provides Registered Yoga Schools with the opportunity to understand their trainees’ experiences in order to continually improve their trainings.

By choosing to display comments, schools enable trainees to provide insight into a school’s culture and training which helps potential trainees choose the right teacher training for their individual path with yoga.

  The course was very thorough. The instructor was very knowledgable about the subject matter and always provided extra pointers and notes to remember for later. I enjoyed the course very much. I am grateful for his efforts during the course.

  The philosophy segment of the TTC was very surprising for me. When I started, I knew nothing about Yoga philosophy and now it has become a very important part of my life and of my practice. Physically, the course has taught me how to practice Yoga safely for myself but, more importantly, it has taught me how to be a responsible and knowledgeable Yoga teacher. This course gave me a strong methodology to help me build and teach a class. After this course, I feel completely different as a human being. It was a life-changing experience.

  Moving across all the phases of the certificate was a wonderful experience with a great teacher who has a solid background. He was very friendly and welcoming. He was patient and didn’t mind repeating anything that was not clear. His methodology was inspiring and it helped me to connect and to understand easily. This experience changed my life to the best and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a valuable certification.

  SAFE Academy is the best place to learn how to create a Yoga class and how to be a creative teacher by giving you the proper tools to create your own class without having to copy or imitate anyone else. You can genuinely find your own style and teach in a way that reflects your personality. The philosophy portion of the course changed my personality a lot as a person, a mother and a human being in general. It helped me become a more consciously ethical person with a lot more awareness.

  The Teacher Training at SAFE Academy with Karim Strougo I can highly recommend. The program is perfectly structured and lovely prepared. Karim's knowledge goes far beyond the classic yoga Manuel in all ways of side topics of yoga in a very scientific way. He traveled serval times to India and does his own course with a much better structure and detailed as you can find it in India so that you learn how to teach yoga properly. His classes are a lovely experience. After the course your are well educated and prepared to be a very good yogi and perfect yoga teacher. Im very grateful to have met him.

  I highly recommend this yoga training program. Karim Strougo has a wealth of knowledge about the 8 limbs of yogas as well as extensive experience, training, and education in yoga and a variety of physical fitness programs. His knowledge of the human body -- anatomically and metaphysically -- is unrivaled in Egypt. He is a very organized and dedicated instructor so it is easy to follow his teachings even if the amount of information is overwhelming and intense at times. It should be pointed out that he is a tough instructor with high expectations. The program is not just 200 hours of training with Karim. Students should expect to study and practice the same number of hours during their own time over the course of the 10 weeks. He also has the highest of expectations of his students, but he gives his most to his students as well. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised to find a yoga training of this caliber outside the US and India.
