YOGA TEACHERS TRAINING
Testimonials from recent graduates:
**** The 250 hour yoga teacher training at Shanti has been a life changing journey. The gift of Alex Bovkis’s wisdom, guidance and support has truly opened doors for me where I didn’t even know doors existed. This transformative journey has not only given me the opportunity to learn and practice teaching in a supportive environment it has inspired me to share this gift with others as a teacher. I strongly recommend this training with Alex and Shanti for anyone who wishes to not only deepen their own practice with a knowledgeable teacher but to grow and enrich their experience on all levels of being. This course gives you everything you need to become a confident teacher. I am truly grateful for her insights and encouragement and for the bond of friendship from the entire YTT group which will ALWAYS be with me. ~Joyce Camara YTT grad 2012
**** YTT has been a invigorating and insightful learning process. The teachers are very knowledgeable and passionate about their practices. Alex's deep attention to details offers the students an opportunity to understand the mental and physical components of the different asanas. Shanti offers YTT students plenty of opportunities to practice, observe classes and use the studio for learning and teaching purposes. MR
**** Alex is an incredible teacher. Her many years of practise, study and teaching have given her such a gift to teach Yoga teachers. Her passion for Hatha Yoga and the philosophies of it, plus her attention to details, has made this a wonderful year. She is a warm and compassionate person and very generous of her time and space. The year of YTT was filled with many awesome teachers and I have learned so much. Through Alex's profound teaching and her connection to spirituality, she has a way of connecting all of us to our spirit and deepen our experience. Practising with Alex really has helped me connect to the true meaning of Yoga and I am excited to teach this to others. Thank you Alex. Lisa
