amazing yoga teacher training testimonials
“I feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Amazing Yoga Teacher Training. Sean and Karen did a really great job of facilitating a safe and nurturing environment in which everyone was appreciated and cared for. Karen and Sean are great teachers, and I envy the students who live in the Pittsburgh area and can practice with them regularly. As an experienced yoga practitioner with a fairly strong practice, I found the classes very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this teacher training to anyone interested in sharing and growing their power yoga practice.”
Anne - Chicago, IL - Costa Rica Teacher Training 2010
“Well this was an amazing experience for me, not only because I learned so much about yoga, it was also a life experience. I met wonderful people that I'm sure will remain in my heart forever. I received so much that right now what I'm willing to give the same to others. To really make a difference in my community.
Thanks' a lot Sean and Karen to make this possible.”
Mariana - Ensenda, Mexico - Costa Rica Teacher Training 2010
“My experience and training with Amazing Yoga 2010 in Costa Rica will always remain with me as a challenge I cherish! In addition to extending awareness for yoga practices, I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to reinforce faith and balance in my self and to interact with so many warm, wonderful individuals.”
Shameda - Toronto, Ontario - Costa Rica Teacher Training 2010
“It was one of the most enjoyable weeks of my life, inspiring,joyous, educational, vigorous and above all fun, wrapped up in a well thought out and planned week, a credit to Amazing Yoga. I could have gone to another Power Vinyasa Yoga training, but I feel it would have lacked the intimacy of our group, the balance was right, the space was right and I came away refreshed and invigorated. My enthusiasm has a new focus, I am in the process of building my own hot studio (ready March 1st), I will have my webpage completed this weekend and all being well I start teaching in 2 weeks at a local gym. I gained inspiration from the training in that I will have a donation box and give the money to charity, it is time for me to give something back, it feels good and right. My medical company gives me a living, my yoga a life. Thank you so much.”
Alan - Glasgow, Scotland - Costa Rica Teacher Training 2010
“A room filled with strangers all with a different purpose. My purpose is to find my joy that comes to me through yoga. Little did I know that in one week I would feel so empowered, knowledgeable, sore and joyous! Lee Ann is a delight: a wonderful instructor, beautiful inside and out. I loved getting back to basics with no distractions from the outside unless you wanted them. Hence, I found peace with no telephone, no television or Internet. The grounds were beautiful and the staff outstanding and very friendly. I felt that Karen and Sean are a wonderful teaching team and you can see that they possess the ability to task well together in their area of expertise. The certification program left me yearning for more knowledge and craving more yoga. They made me love yoga and the idea of teaching even more! I realized “I can do this”… every one of us can.”
Tessa - Baltimore, Maryland - Costa Rica Teacher Training 2010
“Amazing Yoga Teacher training was AMAZING!! In one week's time; I feel confident to teach a power yoga class. Lee Anne, Sean and Karen were very informative and had a well planned curriculum. The whole teacher training package flowed wonderfully. It also helped me to overcome my fear of speaking in front of a group. This training will teach you proper form, class flow, and help you to develop the confidence to become a yoga teacher. I would highly recommend Amazing Yoga to anyone considering teaching or just improving their own yoga practice.”
Jennifer - Pittsburgh, PA - Costa Rica Teacher Training 2010
“The Teacher Training course was simultaneously very challenging and really fun. As a teacher, I felt the training gave me the foundation to expand both my yoga practice and my classroom skills. Sean and Karen are very supportive and engaging teachers, willing to help each student grow. Pura Vida was beautiful and the food was delicious, providing a great environment for the program.”
Dona - Vienna, Virginia - Costa Rica Teacher Training 2010
“You know your serious about yoga, when your prepared to travel from England to Costa Rica for teacher training.
I contacted one of last years Amazing Yoga students through Facebook to get some feed back before making my final decision.
With a couple of years yoga practice, an open mind, and high expectations, my journey into teacher training began. Yes, I came back with a Yoga Alliance teaching certificate, after spending a week in a yoga retreat. That was my original goal, but there was so much more! Sean, Karen and Lee Anne, have found the balance of physical and spiritual teachings in yoga. Both the body and mind need to be focused, the benefits of which I take back home with me. The friendships made during this experience will last a lifetime. The students of Costa Rica 2010 had fun in their souls. Laughing really does give you well defined abs! Pura Vida is the perfect yoga retreat. A balance of good accommodation, excellent cuisine, and located in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It's not one thing that makes this Amazing Yoga, it is the complete package. It is important that we share the positives in life; I hope my few words above reflect how much I throughly enjoyed my teacher training in Costa Rica!”
Alan - London, UK - Costa Rica Teacher Training 2010
“Attending the yoga teacher training in Maya Tulum, Mexico with Amazing Yoga was very exciting for me as I was achieving an ambition to train as a yoga teacher. Spending a week in Paradise at the same time with three inspirational instructors and a wonderful group of like-minded people made it wonderful. The yoga teacher training lives up to it’s name and was truly Amazing! The standard of teaching was so polished and the course was brilliantly put together. The resort was exquisite, the food divine! I left Mexico with confidence in my ability, a stronger body, new friends from across the globe and some precious memories!”
Helen - London, UK - Mexico Teacher Training Summer 2008
“The Yoga Teacher Training reminded me how to go on living the right way by being in union with the world, but mostly with myself. Teacher training taught me to look forward to every yoga pose, every breath, every day, every person, and every thing as a muse to inspire me to live a life “in the ceaseless realization of yoga”.”
Jess - Pittsburgh, PA - Costa Rica Teacher Training 2010
“I entered into the Yoga Teacher Training primarily to gain more knowledge in the practice of yoga, unsure if I truly wanted to take on teaching. After the yoga training with Sean, Karen and my fellow students, I felt truly transformed by what practicing and teaching yoga can do for me! Now I can't imagine not teaching in some way, because I've experienced how powerful it is to share this experience with others. Whether you want to teach yoga, or want to learn much more about yoga than you can get in a 75-90 minute class, the yoga teacher training program that Sean and Karen have developed is outstanding.”
Melissa – Amazing Yoga Spring 2008
“I have trouble finding the words to accurately describe my Maya Tulum Power Vinyasa Flow experience. I had never traveled out of the United States before, much less on my own. The resort was gorgeous, the silent walks meditative, and the colorful food was delicious. And what can I say about the ocean coming from Lincoln, Nebraska? It was nothing but absolutely spectacular, along with the sunrises & sunsets! I came home physically, mentally, and emotionally healthier, stronger, and focused. It was a very empowering experience for me. I also came home with a new and exciting way to practice and teach yoga. I will always treasure this truly AMAZING experience, and the yoga that took me there!”
Judi - Lincoln, Nebraska - Amazing Yoga Class of Summer 2008 - Maya Tulum Resort, Mexico
“The yoga training offered so much insight into what has drawn me to yoga for the last 2 years. It enabled me to challenge myself emotionally, so I can work on my weaknesses. I confronted so many of my fears through the yoga training -- opening myself up to people, taking down some of the walls. I am going to work toward incorporating what I have learned into my life every day. Yoga has been utterly transformational for me. Not just yoga, Amazing Yoga and not just Amazing Yoga, but Sean and Karen. I can’t wait to share this with others through teaching yoga. THANK YOU!!”
Jessica – Amazing Yoga class of Spring 2007
“Karen and Sean are both great teachers! They have different styles and they work amazing together. Their styles complement each other and add great depth and dimension to the yoga teacher training experience. This has been a blessed experience for me. One that I’ll never forget and always treasure. Thank you so much for the opportunity to grow.”
Toki – Amazing Yoga Teacher Training Spring 2007
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect but this definitely exceeded my expectations. I feel that I learned things about myself that I wasn’t aware of, and recognized. I decided to take ownership of growth opportunities that I knew were there. I wish that we could continue this yoga training! I really felt outside of my comfort zone at first, but feel that I’m back on a growth path rather than feeling stuck. Thanks so much!”
Amy – Amazing Yoga Teacher Training Spring 2007
“This whole experience was more than I ever expected. My main intention for taking this yoga teacher training was to gain a better, more detailed understanding of this practice of yoga. Now that yoga training is complete, I feel that not only have I gained more knowledge, but a better appreciation for it. This makes me even more excited to share it with others. Plus, in the process I have met some pretty amazing people.”
Jen – Amazing Yoga Teacher Training Spring 2007
“Connected...I connected with myself, fellow trainees & trainers. The yoga teacher training was a profound experience for me. I found it to be a joyful exploration into the human spirit. We trained and sweat, and we laughed and cried, and then we trained again...and we departed as old friends.”
Lisa – Amazing Yoga Teacher Training Spring 2008
“The Amazing Yoga Teacher Training was one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. In addition to the intense yoga
practice, everyone was so welcoming, and I left each weekend feeling very inspired. It was a great way to grow in my practice, build new relationships, and unravel aspects of myself I had yet to discover. The teaching certificate was like a nice bonus.”
Lauren – Amazing Yoga Teacher Training Spring 2008
“The yoga teacher training I received at Amazing Yoga was one of the best experiences of my life. It was challenging and rewarding, both physically and mentally. It truly changed my life. I feel that I am confident in teaching this style of yoga and recommend this training to anyone who has an interest in yoga.”
