"The program far exceeded any expectations I might have had. The experience and knowledge that both Amy and Mona bring to the training is extraordinary. Amy is very organized and the program was therefore packed with learning opportunities every weekend, with no time ever to be bored. I am looking forward to the next level, whatever or however it manifests!"      -Tina Ramus

"The most valuable thing that I have learned from this training is the power of the practice. How I felt when I left every weekend was bliss. There were so many amazing teachings and experiences that have really opened up my world... It permeated my entire life, relationships with family and friends in addition to my students. I feel free and joyful in my own yoga practice and in my teaching. This training gave me the road map I needed so that now I can move forward and continue to educate myself and grow in the richness of the practice."         -Jana Parker

 

 

"After more than 25 years of yoga practice with different teachers, Amy is the person who has inspired me to take my practice to the next level by attending her trainings. She fully embodies the yoga philosophy and is a master at articulating the internal experience of the asana."       -Jan Schrag

  "I really learned alot from the NVC workshops in relation to connecting to my feelings and needs, as well as how to be more empathetic to other's experiences and needs."   -Lisa Unkefer  

 "I feel very grateful to have been a part of such a training program. The support of Amy and the group created a safe and nurturing container for the teachings. The training not only taught me how to teach but how to deepen my own practice so that I can become what I am teaching and Amy inspired me in that, she truly lives her yoga with dynamism and kindness, in a spirit of service, embodying the very essence of yoga.  I was faced with and worked through some hurdles but I gained confidence and motivation to teach and share with others what I have learned.  The heart connection of the whole group was a wonderful experience for me."   -Annie Reinhardt

"One of the most valuable things that I learned from this training is that compassion is a vital force that must be cultivated and revered, that community can help you remember your strength, and that patience heralds peace and honesty. Thank you Amy for being a profound part of an incredibly transformational 9 months for me. I am so deeply grateful."     -Kit Robison

"The training was a life-changing event for me.  After years of approaching and playing with yoga, I took a quantum leap in my personal practice, my ability to transmit to another through the body's instrument, my understanding of the true depth and breadth of yoga including the eight limbs which opened a whole new world for me.  The true value of yoga as a non-denominational, non-pathologic, non-pharmaceutical path out of suffering, available any time to any one, cannot be underestimated.  The breadth of the training honored yoga in that Amy brought the best teachers she could find to weave together the elements foundational to further practice and teaching. Amy herself models the integration of yogic principles in everyday action, in her compassion in class, in her great communication skills, and in her skilled building of the training."           -Kathleen Heller

"There are so many precious gems that I am taking away from this training. I'd have to say, if I had the time and money, I'd take it again..."  -Tina Ramus
