Testimonials

info

Celia’s teachings were initially recommended to me by my yoga teacher and friend who spoke highly of the authenticity of BIYOME and the varied course offerings. My intentions for participating in YTT were not to teach; but to learn and embody what it means to live Yoga as a lifestyle. Among other studios, I chose to take some casual classes with BIYOME to feel into the energy of the space and Celia as a teacher/guide and I was nothing short of inspired. I knew from the presence of Celia that she was who I wanted to guide me on this journey. My experience did not disappoint, and I am honoured to have had the opportunity to be guided by teachers of such quality. I thoroughly enjoyed Celia’s approach to teaching. She truly honoured the foundations and essence of the Yogic path, incorporating theory, tangible practice and demonstrating all limbs of what it means to live Yoga as a lifestyle. The theoretical component provided was phenomenal. With information resourced from such a vast scope of channels, the authenticity and integrity of this training is undeniable. The quality of the content, along with the immense knowledge shared by Celia and the other teachers and professionals, has been nothing short of inspiring. Not only has this course provided more understanding of Yoga; with Celia’s expertise and presence, my experiences participating in this training has taken me further into the depths of myself than I believe I would have otherwise been taken had I of studied elsewhere.
