WHAT OUR GRADUATES SAY:
This was one of the best weekends
of my life! I learned more in 8 hours than I did in my formal education!!
I love this teacher training program. I read the following quote
today in a book called Mantra and the Mystery of initiation by Pandit
Rajmani Tigunait: "It is by receiving the Word directly from
a teacher that a student establishes a connection with the path
that leads directly to the highest goal." This is what you,
Jyoti and Jason transmit and pass down thru his great lineage at
Starseed. No other place like it. - EH, 3/09 (SSYTT class of 2008/09)
When
Jyoti told me that the teacher training program would be a truly
transformative experience, I nodded that I understood. Only now
that I've experienced the teacher training at Starseed do I truly
understand what she meant. I was looking to deepen my practice and
engage in a community, I found that and much more. The world of
yoga was opened up to me on so many levels. I am enjoying a new
understanding of yoga's deep history, philosophy, asana & mantra.
The richness of the yoga tradition has a meaning that I will continue
to explore for the rest of my life. This new way of engaging yoga
in my life informs my new teaching ability and the way I exist in
the world. It's deep, rich and juicy. I highly recommend Starseed's
teacher training program. Jyoti is an inspirational teacher who
embodies the yoga tradition in her heart & being. She has the
ability to transmit her vast knowledge with a love & grace that
is rare. OM-Shanti. - SSYTT Grad 2008
The Starseed teacher training was
a huge help in establishing a daily practice for myself. Jyoti was
a fabulous teacher and working with the Starseed senior teachers
was a tremendous opportunity to deepen my understanding and practice
in the eight limbs of yoga. The program was comprehensive providing
a framework in asana, pranayama, meditation and yogic philosophy.
The camaraderie developed over the eight months with my fellow teacher
trainees also contributed greatly in forming a yoga based community
to keep my practice intact. Thank you Starseed! - SSYTT
Grad 2008
'Taking the 200-hour teacher training
program at Starseed was one of the best decisions I ever made. I
went in just wanting to become more knowledgeable of all the aspects
of yoga and to build a personal practice for myself; I came out
with a new attitude on life and with a passion to help others feel
great about themselves! I strongly recommend this program to anyone
who feels as if something is missing in their life. - SSYTT
Grad 2008
Starseeds teacher training gave
me a strong foundation in which i can continue to build upon as
my yoga journey continues. I feel very forunate to have been a part
of this program. -SSYTT Grad 2006
“Starseed’s intensive training program provided me with the most in-depth coverage of every aspect involved in teaching yoga- truly amazing!
I graduated Starseed’s training program feeling just as confident teaching a basic level one class as well as teaching a level 3 vinyasa class.
I would highly recommend this program to anyone thinking of becoming a yoga teacher, and also to anyone who is looking for a higher sense
of purpose in their life-it was a truly life-altering experience.”
-SSYTT Grad 2004
“This program has given me the confidence to teach that which I really know well, it has given me the inspiration to continually grasp
for that which might be helpful and to practice it and learn.”
-SSYTT Grad 2003
“Yoga started as a hobby has ultimately led to peace of mind, a new path and competency. Thanks to Starseed, I learned a lot about myself
and my place in the world. I highly recommend this awesome program”
