Testimonials

info

As I had previously studied Meditation with Celia and practised with her, I knew how incredibly rich this experience would be. This teacher training has offered so much more beyond the scope of what I thought Yoga was. It has introduced me to a wonderfully diverse cohort of beautiful humans and allowed me to explore at my own pace and begin to understand the complex tapestry of Yoga from the ancient perspective, along with modern science. I feel as though my original ‘overwhelm’ has transformed into ‘opportunity’. There is such an extensive amount of literature and learning that I am so grateful to have access to. I am confident in teaching from my heart rather than being stuck in the fear of not knowing enough.

I was initially drawn to the YTT350 at BIYOME as a way to deepen my own practice. My yoga teacher, who incidentally had not attended BIYOME, recommended BIYOME to me on the basis of what she had heard about the course. To be honest, I had no idea what I was really getting myself into, but I can say, hand on heart, it was a decision guided by those who had my welfare at heart. Every class, every reading, has taken me deeper into the life-affirming practice of yoga. It has been a year of riches, so much so that I find myself, after working through self-doubt, teaching! Teaching and keen to continue to grow as a teacher, but also in all aspects of my life. It truly has been a transformative experience. I can’t thank Celia, the amazing teachers that she works with, and my fellow students for the time spent together and the wisdom given.
