I loved to be immersed in my yoga training!
I loved to be immersed in my yoga training, not only in such a spiritual atmosphere, but my instructors were the best! I'm looking forward to taking my next training with them. They have really inspired me to pursue my goals in the industry, but beyond that they are so in tune with the love for yoga. It was the best decision ever made for me.

The yoga teacher’s training exceeded my expectations in many ways. The in-depth knowledge and experience of the instructors provided a backdrop of expertise across the different areas of study including the asanas, the philosophy and history of yoga, learning assists, and sequencing a class. A good, foundational course with solid footing for a RYT 200 certificate.

Best experience for a YTT
I loved the beautiful location of Salvatierra. It was peaceful, and the perfect place to focus on a yoga teacher training course. I was blessed to have a wonderful group of students to share this experience with, no drama or cliques. I learned so much from Peggy and Liz and I feel confident to begin teaching. I also learned how to better center myself with meditation and coming into the space of Yoga. I feel I am able to be present and in the moment better than before I arrived. I’m working on seeing others with eyes of love including myself which helped me tone down the inner critic. I loved learning about Ayurveda and Chakras to understand myself at a deeper level and how to find balance. I enjoyed the reflections of the Yoga Sutra to understand the deeper essence of yoga.

Highly recommended
For me, this training was a 10 of 10. The curriculum was a well balanced mixture of both practice and theory. I like the therapeutic approach, putting the needs of individual bodies at the center and not emphasizing, showing off or fancy posing. I’m very impressed by the teachers' knowledge, the community we created, and the attention to detail. One could really tell that Soma Yoga Institute puts their students in the center. I learned how to build a solid foundation in my yoga poses. It changed the way I practice every pose now. The alignment queues are a game changer. Overall this 200 Hour YTT was truly transformative. I did not expect that.

Yoga-Journey
This was an amazing journey, not only because I was able to develop a deeper understanding of myself but also because of all the people I met and the whole team around the retreat center. The teachers were great, we learned so much about yoga. I loved the way the lessons were organized and structured from alignment-anatomy first then into the teaching and practice teach. It was also so great to have a small group we had the possibility to get into the theory and have all of our questions answered. - Hanna

Spending 18 days by the ocean...
Spending 18 days by the ocean in beautiful Costa Rica for Soma Yoga Institute's 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training was an experience I will always cherish. In addition to being immersed in a tropical paradise, our group was also immersed in everything from asana, meditation and pranayama practice to yogic philosophy, anatomy, Ayurveda and more. The curriculum was extensive, and I happily would have spent another few weeks soaking up all the information and practices. I appreciated Liz Heffernan's gentle demeanor and "Eyes of Love" approach, as well as her relaxing Yoga Nidra sessions. I enjoyed being in community with the other yogis-in-training and getting to know amazing people from all over the world. I learned the importance of being gentle, compassionate, and inclusive as a teacher, which starts with my relationship to myself. I feel this is just the beginning of my yoga journey and can't wait for what's ahead. I will consider training with Soma Yoga Institute again in the future. -Kate

Kate, reading about your journey through our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in the stunning setting of Costa Rica fills me with joy. It's heartening to know that the serene backdrop of the ocean and the richness of our curriculum offered you a deeply immersive experience. Your appreciation for the "Eyes of Love" approach and the Yoga Nidra sessions truly means a lot to me.
I'm thrilled to hear about the connections you've made with fellow yogis from around the globe and how these relationships have enriched your training experience. Your commitment to embodying gentleness, compassion, and inclusivity as a teacher—and recognizing the importance of starting this practice with oneself—is a testament to the profound personal growth that yoga facilitates.
Remember, this is indeed just the beginning of a lifelong journey in yoga, and I'm excited to see where this path takes you. Your openness to considering future training with us at the Soma Yoga Institute is warmly welcomed, and I look forward to the opportunity to support and guide you further in your practice and teaching.

Very personal experience that stayed aligned with yoga philosophy all the way through!
I have heard horror stories about taking yoga classes online- teachers not being responsive/helpful or methodologies being taught not aligning with values of yoga. You WILL NOT have this issue at Soma Yoga Institute.
I was able to communicate with all of my instructors for any clarity or guidance needed. I also received genuine encouragement and direction. I label it as genuine because it did not always include a way they could benefit from the information they gave.
Soma Yoga Institute cares about providing thorough, safe instruction in the way each student needs to receive it.
I will be taking additional courses here.

I would absolutely recommend this 200 Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training program to any student who is interested in deepening their practice through a therapeutic lens. The curriculum was comprehensive across anatomy, asanas, transitions, alignment, yoga history, somatics, and more. Each of my instructors was engaging, responsive, and brought their own unique wisdom to the party. Lots of opportunity for engaging with peers during live calls. - Taylor

Liz’s knowledge is incredible and really shines through in each of her lessons. Learning the detailed alignment cues was fantastic. I loved learning history of yoga, philosophy, trauma informed, and ball rolling sections as well. I give this program an A++! Highly recommend it. – KT

Receiving an A++ from you and your high recommendation is truly an honor.

Enlightening and enjoyable
This teacher training program helped instill personal confidence through carefully designed practice teach challenges that began the first week, and built into a natural “teach from your own body” and “share from your own journey” style of Yoga teaching. The program was enlightening and personal and very enjoyable.

Wonderful Experience
I'm much more inspired to develop my ever evolving and consistent yoga practice as a supplement to my personal, professional and spiritual life. The most unique experience for me was that I wasn't totally confident I could ever truly teach yoga...I was more in it for personal development I would say. The way the training was laid out and the encouragement to consider how yoga can authentically benefit so many people with both their internal and physical journey really caught my attention and quite honestly opened me up to a new direction in my own life I hadn't considered. I now know that yoga, like the qi arts in TCM, is a discipline and practice that is both scientific and artful and a wonderful way to open up the whole of human life to a person including the twilight years of this existence. As a mental health practitioner, I know that if I could help someone access yoga for themselves it would only benefit any other work they would want to do in order to be mentally resilient and emotionally regulated as well. - JJ

I've changed throughout this 200 hour course. I always hoped to be a little bit less sharp around the edges and that just shifted in a natural way. I really enjoyed how the course emphasized philosophy, history, theory, therapeutics and the fact that yoga is different for every body. I loved to learn about philosophy. I fell in love with Yoga Nidra and I found my new path in restorative yoga.

Excellent Yoga Teacher training program
I enjoyed the 200-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training Program! I felt like a kid in a candy store - there is a yoga class for every mood and every occasion: chakra balancing, dosha balancing, active, gentle, restorative, teaching solid foundations and alignment, funky and playful, yin and the ball rolling. There is meditation, pranayama, yoga nidra and philosophy as well. I've been into yoga and meditation for 20 years and still I am learning so much! This is the most holistic and well-designed program I could have ever imagined and I teach online classes at a major university so I don't say this lightly. Zoom calls are great and practice teach pairing is helpful and unlimited mentoring calls are very appreciated. Plus, I get access to all the videos for the rest of my life! Wow, I feel like there is enough info there for me to learn from for the next 10 years! And the gentle encouragement from all the teachers is amazing.- Inessa, Graduate of the 200-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training Program
