“I’m so grateful that the stars aligned to bring me to the Mana YTT at just the right time. I had toyed with the idea of doing yoga training for a while, and I felt confident this would be the right place for my first. The combined knowledge & experience of Patty, Jana & Marty was a great balance, and I really enjoyed how the course flowed. I feel confident that I've been taught with deep integrity, so that I may in turn share yoga that is deeply rooted to its history with others”.
Lisa, Pilates and Yoga Teacher
"The 200HR Yoga Training with Mana was a truly transformative experience. Learnings go beyond 'learning poses' to teach students the ways in which the practice of yoga is a part of our daily life experience - in our head, hearts and mind. Thank you to Patty, Jana and Marty for providing such a holistic training schedule of theory and practice, all in-person with lots of laughter, fun, support and opportunities for deep self-discovery along the way."
Dr Wendy, Psychologist
"I attended a Mana Yoga training not knowing what I wanted to to do with the learnings and teachings. The course strengthened by own practice and gave me a lot of clarity and direction in almost every area of my life. Patty is a thoughtful and caring teacher and I felt that she genuinely cared about what I wanted to do with this course. I'm a much calmer and more content person, and I even decided to teach a few classes to share what I've learned. It was a truely transformation experience."
