Still, I feel inspired and confident to teach daily because of all the posture clinics, theory classes, and teaching sessions. The teacher training at AYM has enriched my life.
Megan Smythe
Yoga Teacher
This 500-hour Yoga TTC (at AYM Yoga School) was one of the best experiences I have ever had. The curriculum was inclusive, and our primary teacher, Yogi Chetan Mahesh, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind-hearted, and down-to-earth. Everything we learned had a purpose, from a posture’s alignment to an aspect of yoga philosophy, and we were asked to question everything.
Elena Scacchi
Yoga Teacher
I was here to take part in 500 hours of Yoga Teacher Training. It was such an unforgettable experience. I have enjoyed every single day I spent here. The teachers were great, and Guru Mahesh is such a great Guru. We have learned a lot from him and other teachers as well. This class has given me a great insight into the true meaning of yoga.
