Stories From Our Happy Students

 
When I attended my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Kula Collective, it was a huge break in the pattern of life, and it set in motion a huge transformation in the direction of my life.

When I made the decision to attend the yoga teacher training at the Yoga Forest, I was working in a corporate office job in downtown Seattle. I was following what was ‘expected’ of me within society, yet I had lost touch with my soul and creative spark. I knew that I had so much wisdom and magical within me, yet I had lost touch with that part of myself.

When I attended the yoga teacher training at the Yoga Forest, it was the most incredible and enriching spiritual experience of my entire life. Finally, I was able to release so much of the illusion of identity and expectations that weighed on me.

Through the course of the training, I rediscovered my soul and was ignited in my passion. Since then I have reconnected to my level of devotion for living my life in alignment with the yogic path, both on and off the yoga mat.

Amazing. Kula creates magic. It is far beyond a simple YTT, it is a life changing experience!
— sunny, 300hr ytt graduate

You guys have done an eloquent job of creating such sacred and transformational online space. Thank you ALL so so so much for all the hard work you guys have put into making this course for all of us. I was hoping to travel to Guatemala for my 200hr but you guys brought Kula to my living room when I needed you guys the most. Looking forward to 300hr training with you all in person or online. Kula Collective is like coming home.
— Brandon Batstone, Ytt online graduate
I couldn’t talk this training up more. The way you guys structured the classes and days made so much sense. The curriculum was thorough and I left completely transformed.

This experience rocked me to the core and left me knowing who I really am.

The wisdom that was imparted intertwining the shamanic practices of the Americas with the traditional Yogic practices of the East was fascinating and created a holistic way for us to move spiritually forward into our new connected Earth

The training was everything and more that I could have hoped for. Having done my 200 hours online I really missed the connection between teachers and students which I found so deeply within the Kula environment. There was a great opportunity for self discovery as well as seeds planted in many different areas including yogic philosophy and therapeutics that I now wish to explore deeper. Having only taught online prior to my 300hrs I have now developed the confidence to teach classes in person and have a deeper understanding of my essence as a teacher. Not only that, I feel I have a greater connection with Mother Earth and the way I want to walk through this Earth.

Whenever you have a teacher that has the practical knowledge, combined with passion for the subject, you end up having happy, well taught students!

Cracked my heart wide open!
— Mikaela Hardwick, ytt graduate

The training was everything I wanted and more. Having done my 200 hours online, I really loved the learning environment, bonding with other yoga students and living, eating, breathing yoga each and everyday. Not only do I feel far more confident teaching, but I know myself on a far deeper level and understand my essence in which I want to share with the world.

The program offered me space to discover who I truly am, to feel safe and protected while exploring sides of me I was unsure of.

My overall experience was wonderful and powerful, it went beyond my expectations, not only of what a YTT could be but also of the possibility of having a full and enriching experience online. I resonated a lot with all of the content, and was extremely inspired throughout. I still am, and feel empowered and excited to take this out into the world. This was definitely an unforgettable experience.

Online Training Testimonials

My overall experience with the online training was that it was better than I could have expected. I really wanted to do it in person and still will, but I am really glad I decided to do the online YTT.
— Jennifer DiStefano, online ytt graduate
I feel lucky to have been able to experience both the online and in person training. To deeply value the ability to have access to the extensive library with content whenever I feel I need to refresh my memory. The lectures were all super well put together and to the point. The division of hours per week was very doable and in my opinion 8 weeks was perfect.
— Iris Kluit, YTT Online Graduate
I first was unsure whether an online training is a good idea, as I took so much from being in person in my 200 h training. However, it was well organised and structured. It gave me the opportunity to stay connected and on on my path during lockdowns and being quite isolated for 2 years now. It was a great decision.
— Michaela Rose, online ytt graduate
My experience surpassed every expectation. After looking at 15+ online programs, I felt called to the Kula Collective. I feel like there would be an unknown hole in my life if I hadn’t taken this exact training, at the time I did. I wouldn’t know what the hole is, except there is one. Thank you, Kula Collective. You did an amazing job.
