“Your 300 hr training has been deeply enriching, educational, and healing. I know so many more people are going to benefit from all that you have created and are offering (to the world!). I continue to realize how essential and important the trauma component of your training is. I feel blessed that you included that and know I will continue to find ways to integrate that into my teaching and into my own personal life. ”

“This exceptional course goes deep into all facets of yoga. From philosophy to anatomy I have learned what yoga truly is and how to live a yogic lifestyle. I have gained skills in relaxation, breath control, and public speaking. This course has been woven into my life and I feel confident in my practice and my teaching. I will always be a student but now I know what if means to hold the seat of the teacher. Words cannot do this program justice because it is an experience to be felt. Denise has exceptional knowledge. She is as educated as my college professors and as nurturing as my mother. I highly recommend her training program for anyone interested in learning about yoga. Thank you!”

“This course has been a beautiful, nourishing and life enhancing experience for me. It is so rich, thorough, thoughtful and heartfelt. I has challenged my edges spiritual, emotionally and physically, and carried me to a new depth of connection and understanding of myself, my practice and the Divine. As a teacher, Denise is wise, knowledgeable, skillful and trustworthy and loving. She inspires me as a woman and as a yogi in the way that she embodies the teachings and so gracefully shares them with the world. I am grateful for her presence, attention to detail, her integrity, intelligence and most oil her authentic love and care for each student. I highly recommend this training for anyone looking to improve their quality of life, whither they intend to teach yoga or not. This course is training for a peaceful, healthy and harmonious life. ”

“I thank you Denise for the amazing amount of effort you have put into this program and most importantly how fired up about you are about what it is you do as a teacher and healer. I am so grateful to have you be apart of this very formative time of my spiritual growth.”

“I loved all aspects of the teacher training, I really loved the way the three teachers traded off, it was great getting the various perspectives on things. Of course opening circle was awesome. One of the strongest aspects of the teacher training was the way it was defined and the impeccable strength with which you, Denise, held that definition, through thick and thin you held that definition and that is the very reason the training is so effective. Thank you for your incredible wisdom and strength, I stand in awe of who and what you are.”

“My favorite part of the Teacher Training was having to face my biggest fears and having to connect with a big group of people and talk in front of a group of people. I have really stepped in to my power and I am finding my voice. It has been a long, hard and painful journey, but I have learned so much about my self and how to deal with resistance. I have realized that the resistance coming up for me is my ego trying to control me. This training has been a giant leap out of my comfort zone and it has made me so much stronger and empowered. I am forever grateful for this experience.”

“Â What is yoga?
Yoga is love, peace and striving to find our true self. We find grace in the way we handle ourselves in everyday situations. We become protected from pain and suffering because we believe in a creation higher than ourselves and we give up our control of why an how to the divine power, which is God. Yoga is meditation that allows us to watch the mind and observe our habits and the way we live our life. We gain knowledge and begin to see our true self.”

“The part of the course I enjoyed most was learning about the Chakras, which came as a surprise. Knowing next to nothing about them, my impression was that they would be a bit too make-believe to someone like me who always has to see something to believe it. The way that we dove into each Chakra to really feel and open the energy center was incredible. There were some enormous self-realizations and shifts that can only happen when you look below the surface, meditate on those subjects, and further work with them through a creative outlet such as drawing our own versions of the symbols. Actually seeing the energy of the chakras through the motion of the pendulum and allowing myself to become immersed in the music pulled the experience together unforgettably.”

“The most important aspect of teacher trainging for me is that I now have a better understanding of what Yoga is really about. I get it. I have not attained its ultimate goal of continuity with the Divine, but I am working on it and have my moments. Through this program I have come to understand Patajali’s eight steps, their importance and how they can help me on my life’s journey. I can now access a wealth of knowledge and tools with an understanding of them that can help guide me forward on my journey if I but choose to apply and commit to them.”

“There was nothing I did not like about the class. It was sometimes difficult for me to keep up physically with the asana part of things, but i know that will come in time and as I get more disciplined with my own daily practice. This class has been one of the pivotal changing points in my life and I am on a path to reduce the stress in my life, simplify it and have more time to do the things that give me the feeling that I am closer to my truth and God. Having more time to do the things that make me feel like I am one with the world and one with God is my goal. I am furhter along in having the consciousness now to start to identify what those things are. Before this class, I did not. I would call that extremely significant!”

“Overall, my favorite part of the training is being in the presence of people who are interested in the same things as I am. I love the diversity of our class. It always feels real, and like we are studying THE most important things. I love how I feel at the end of a a weekend – tired but very grounded. I feel like I just spent three days reaquainting myself with my true self.”

“It’s hard to say what my favorite part of the training has been- I’ve enjoyed it all. For me the class went from training to a journey of self discovery – never compromising any of the academics of the training. I found my Self, my connectedness and my inner strength. Your words of encouragement along the way gave me that extra push when I began to question myself- Thank you!”

“ROCK ON! you are a master teacher and if you continue to put forth the effort you do, if you stay with your practice and your truth as you are, you will become a GREAT master teacher. I am so proud to have been a part of this journey with you as well as all the others in the class. I came away with so much more than I ever could have imagined. THANK YOU KIRPAL! May you have much success as you move into your next teacher training.”
