“Creative, team oriented, well grounded, fun, honest and transformative experience. I LOVED it! It has pushed me out of my comfort zone, encouraged growth and openness, taught me discipline and compassion. The very complicated philosophy was taught in a simple way and made easy to understand. The hardest poses were encouraged to practice with acceptance and compassion. Garth taught us that the quality of the effort is what matters the most. Surrounded by a group of like minded people who were so open, accepting and compassionate. Thank you Garth for your honesty, simplicity, authenticity and inspiration!””

“I went into the program with hope but also apprehension, as I only recently started to become serious about yoga. I found a very welcoming environment that put me at ease. I learned a lot about the different poses and about general alignment techniques and proper form. Beyond that, this training opened my eyes about what yoga can do to improve my life and well-being on, and above all, off the mat. I have a much deeper understanding of what yoga is and what it really means to practice it. I found this program very valuable. Garth is knowledgeable, committed, and kind: a great combination of qualities!””

“In this training, I have been able to find and maintain a connection between my personal asana practice and the ethical guidelines that have been followed by yogis since the beginning of the practice; I have started a meditation practice; I have incorporated the teaching of the Sutras into my personal life and I am consequentially experiencing a shift in my social and personal dynamics; I have acquired knowledge of anatomy that I find now essential for a safe and focused physical practice. Most importantly, I have found that this training has taught me just how much there is to know and how fortunate I am as a student to be guided in my journey by such a knowledgeable and trustworthy teacher. This training has presented new possibilities for me, as I am now contemplating on the possibility to continue my education and eventually become a teacher one day. I would recommend this training to anyone who is serious about their practice, whether the intention is to become a teacher or not.””

“I came to this program to learn about yoga and left with a wealth of knowledge, new friends, and a community. To me actions speak louder than words and Garth practices what he preaches. He is an amazing instructor and I’ve learned so much from his teachings. We really covered all the bases from philosophy to meditation to alignment. Who knew I was doing Down-dog wrong for 3 1/2 years???!! The program is demanding but it was just the kick I needed to further me along as a teacher and an individual.””

“Garth’s teaching is amazing. In a short time period, I am able to do things I never thought possible. He assisted me with both my physical and mental hindrances. He gave instructions that are so specific that even I could grasp. I understood what part of the body needed to shift to achieve the right posture. I live it! Garth challenged me physically and mentally and assisted me with changing my outlook/attitude towards what is possible and what I am capable of. He has enabled me to reach beyond what I presumed to be my physical limits.... thank you for an in-depth yoga teacher training experience. This has been an unforgettable experience leading to an opportunity to grow further.”
