“The breadth of the Yoga Shanti 200-hour program both deepened my personal practice and inspired me to learn more about aspects of yoga that I did not know I would be interested in. Yoga Shanti did an excellent job of creating intimacy during this hybrid training that offered both virtual and in-person training. This program made accessible so many aspects of yoga I had not previously explored. I feel better physically, mentally, and intellectually after completing this teacher training. I look forward to continuing to explore and learn with them.”

C.Cook, 200Hr Graduate, December 2021

“Ya’ll are most wonderful humans to learn from. I have never felt more supported, loved and uncomfortable (in a good way) than I did during this training!”

J.Fullman, 200Hr Graduate, December 2021

“The sophistication of this program was impressive. The curriculum was vast and deep. The student experience was excellent and well managed. The technical coordination allowed for both virtual and in-person participation and made it easy, creating intimacy for 28 people around the world! I felt and enjoyed a sense of community. This felt like a college class given the sophistication of the material, testing, and homework. I not only learned but I grew in strength, spirit and gained a stronger understanding of yoga.”

C.Cook, 200Hr Graduate, December 2021

“The Yoga Shanti 200hr Teacher Training was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my journey of self. The curriculum, mentorship and technical set-up were thoughtfully and thoroughly planned out which provided for a professional and educational setting for learning. I particularly appreciated the open and safe environment fostered by Rodney, Colleen and all of our wonderful mentors who consistently exhibited a high standard of respect and inclusion for all of the participating students. Coming out of the program I’m left feeling even more curious and excited about yoga than when I entered.”

“I am forever deeply grateful for this experience. It has changed me and will continue to be incorporated into my very being.”

L.Delcotto, 200Hr Graduate, December 2021

“The Yoga Shanti 200-Hour Teacher Training program is super nice! Colleen and Rodney are wise and share all their knowledge generously with their students.”

A.Volpon, 200Hr Graduate, December 2021

“I wouldn’t miss the opportunity to sign up for a virtual teacher training with Colleen and Rodney! I’ve waited years to find the right training and to have access to two incredible teachers I trust. The program was comprehensive, challenging and transformative! The virtual platform was effective in conveying important information and interacting with the teachers and peers. I created relationships and friendships with people from all over the world I otherwise wouldn’t have in a training program locally. This training also included unlimited access to all of the Yoga Shanti classes on Union. Taking classes from other Yoga Shanti teachers helped deepen and reinforce what I was learning during my training. But more importantly, this program felt safe, we had a lot of fun, and the teachers and mentors are all nurturing and encouraging. I’m impressed with how far I’ve come as a beginner yoga student and excited to participate in the next advanced yoga shanti teacher training.”

K.Ford, 200Hr Graduate, January 2021

“This course was one of the most profound investments I have ever made. Colleen and Rodneys knowledge, passion and willingness to share, teach and grow with us in our knowledge of an ancient practice were a once in a lifetime gift.”

L.Sheehan, 200Hr Graduate, January 2021

“Colleen and Rodney gave their hearts and souls to the students. Even with the amount of collective years they have been teaching, there was both a fresh and playful approach and a warmth that transcended the screen each and every time they taught. The mentors were kind and provided unconditional support, so that question was left unanswered. I completed their 300hr TT in June and enrolled this 200hr to more deeply embody the basics of Shanti methodology and to continue my connection with the family that C&R seamlessly create. The training provided practical elements for newer teachers, and endless jumping off points for people with experience. I teach Prenatal, Trauma-Informed, Yin and Open level Vinyasa classes. As a direct result of Shanti trainings my confidence as a teacher and the clarity and quality of all my varied offerings continues to improve. I would highly recommend this program for any Yoga teacher, new or experienced.”

E.Gerry, 200Hr Graduate, January 2021

“Absolutely was a wonderful program! Would have never had known that it was an inaugural session as the mentors and Francesca that worked behind the scenes (along with Rodney and Colleen) made it look like it had been conducted many many times before. Loved the commitment of time, attention and insight that Rodney and Colleen gave to this training – their insight and words of wisdom were invaluable. I was so honored to have such seasoned, famous Yogis guiding us trainees. The mentors and Francesca working behind the scenes were so nurturing, so supportive, it didn’t matter if you were a very experienced Yoga practitioner or a new trainee, they accepted and respected you along the way. Can’t say enough positive things about them or the program in general. This program is way worth the investment! You will grow both spiritually and physically!”
