I just got back from the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica

I just got back from the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica - it was amazing! It gave me the tools and focus to bring peace and kindness into my life as a social justice activist. I really appreciated the inclusive, caring, and expansive teaching style. The nature at Playa Coyote is absolutely beautiful - surfing in the Pacific, Scarlet Macaws, stunning black sand... It was such a privilege to learn from Liz and Peggy, two warm-hearted, very skilled individuals. Their depth of knowledge and facilitation is impressive, balancing physical practice and classroom time. They tie ancient wisdom to our modern world with ease and practicality, and I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy the philosophy, the lovely niyamas and yamas, kosha sutra exploration. The asana classes were amazing, with a focus on anatomy and alignment, and life-affirming themes. Their emphasis on teaching yoga for ALL bodies was practical and encouraging for me. In my work with others for liberation, it means dealing with my own, and other people's, traumas and triggers. This training gave me a practice I can use personally and professionally. I'm also very thankful for the chance to create a self-practice morning routine that fits my nature and body—it was such a gift.

I can't fully explain how great my time was at Soma Yoga

I can't fully explain how great my time was at Soma Yoga Institute's Costa Rica RYT-200 Training Program. It really opened my eyes to new aspects of yoga that I never thought about before. This experience has helped me grow a lot and has brought more clarity to my journey of self-awareness and developing better connections with myself and others. The program was very well-organized, thoughtful, and enlightening. It exposed me to parts of yoga I hadn't known about, which I really enjoyed learning. The training also gave me deep knowledge in areas I already had an interest in, like trauma-sensitive practices, alignment, therapeutics, and somatic. Peggy and Liz are amazing instructors, and their authenticity is obvious. My confidence in areas I've always loved but never actively pursued has grown tremendously. I can't wait to see what comes next.

I really liked the way Liz and Jess worked together as teachers.

I really liked the way Liz and Jess worked together as teachers. Their way of teaching made me feel like I could understand everything without needing to study more. The schedule was nice, starting with morning meditation and ending with philosophy at night. This program helped me feel more sure of myself and see that I already have what I need inside me. I got to learn about the Yoga Sutras and want to keep reading them, along with the Bhagavad Gita. I enjoyed the parts about anatomy, alignment, and sequencing. The way they teached made me see how important alignments and a good foundation are. This training is great. It’s not just about being a yoga teacher, but also about being myself. I am discovering who I am and seeing the good in people around me. Yes, I would surely take another course with Soma Yoga Institute.

The training also gave me a lot of knowledge in areas I already cared about, like trauma-informed practices, alignment, therapeutics, and somatics. Peggy and Liz are amazing teachers, and you can feel their kindness. My confidence in the things I have always loved but never tried to do professionally is sky high. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Great first 200 Hour Training with Soma!!

Great first 200 Hour Training with Soma!! I knew Soma was the right school for me when I found them online, but the experience went beyond what I imagined. The teaching was so real and had such a wide range of knowledge, making it fresh, useful, and easy to understand. The way they adjusted to the class, meeting us where we were and giving us time to improve, was really great. Big thanks to Liz and Peggy for giving me the chance to start my "real" study of yoga with Soma. I'm excited for more chances to learn through the amazing programs you’ve put together.

The learning experience was quite enjoyable!

The learning experience was quite enjoyable! They managed to mix practice, learning, and studying in a lovely environment. Liz and Jess, the teachers, made a great team, offering two distinct approaches to yoga practice and teaching.
