“Taking Yoga Shanti’s 200 hour YTT taught by Rodney and Colleen (whose yoga DVDs had been part of my morning routine for the last 15 years) was the best decision I made in 2020. Learning the foundations of yoga from these masters has been a transformative experience for me both on and off of my yoga mat. Rodney and Colleen teach with wisdom and humility and a passion for yoga that is contagious. I was pleasantly surprised at the sense of camaraderie that developed amongst my online classmates. Being part of this diverse group, which included students from around the globe, was also part of the magic of this course.”

“I’d recommend the 200 hour Yoga Teach Training to everyone, at whatever level. You leave with so much information and a new perspective about yoga, philosophy, and yourself. Colleen and Rodney’s vast wisdom is invaluable and can be applied to yoga and life. From the minute you start you are supported and well looked after to ensure you are doing your best. The curriculum is well designed and the training schedule is seamless. Special mention to the amazing mentors who support you and help get you through! Namaste.”

“I don’t have words that aptly express my deep gratitude and pleasure at having participated in this extraordinary journey with Colleen, Rodney, Seamus, Mia, Sandy, Andrew and Francesca. But I’ve got to mention that the ease of access to the programming, our classmates and our teachers online contributed to the surreal excellence of it all.”

C. Alvarez-Gould, 200Hr Graduate, January 2021

“Yoga Shanti’s 200 hour YTT is intelligent, soulful, creative and a stellar educational experience for yoga practitioners.”

T. McManus, 200Hr Graduate, January 2021

“I was blown away by the Yoga Shanti experience. I shared in my application that I was introduced to yoga through Rodney’s VHS tapes in the 1990s. I was being “taught” through his videos all those years never dreaming I would have this learning experience one day. I am forever grateful to Rodney, Colleen, Mia, Seamus, Andrew, Sandy and Francesca for the love they wove into this teacher training. I learned so much more than I ever expected to and made some significant life shifts during the 4 months of the program. Yoga is not just a set of postures. Yoga is a way of life.”

H. Casey, 200Hr Graduate, January 2021

“An experience not to be missed! The Fall 2020 Yoga Shanti Teacher Training was beautifully created, articulated, executed, and most definitely held by the entire Yoga Shanti Team! I am honored to have been a part of this enlightening journey. Thank you Yoga Shanti! Namaste.”

“I have been practicing yoga for over 30 years, and felt completely privileged to be part of the Yoga Shanti 200hr Teacher Training Program 2020. The program is intelligently planned and went smoothly, without a hitch. The support people were superb. The guest lecturers and speakers were spellbinding. Colleen and Rodney are such masters of their craft that I clung to every word, and their humor and expertise shone through. Together, they are such a fabulous team. I highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to take their yoga to the next level, whether wanting to teach or not. For me, doing this program has been life-changing.”
