What graduates say about our 200-hr yoga teacher training in Berlin:
I am certain, I would not benefit from the traditional asana learning as much as I did from the online one. Thanks to the video lexicon of Dynamic Mindfulness poses, I had the possibility to study a single asana over and over again, pausing the video when I needed to, taking notes, and practicing. This was coupled with Tatjana’s precise, gentle, and natural adjustments during Zoom classes.
This yoga instructor course began during a transaction period in my life and it took me a step forward.
I am much more aware of myself and of my body’s needs now and I’ve learned to be patient and to enjoy small things in life. During the training it became a philosophy of life.
Training also helped me to understand the value of community and being a part of something bigger.
Before starting the training, I thought I was not quite ready to do it – I suffered from anxiety, I felt broken, and wasn’t sure if I was “good enough”.
It’s good the program is around 10 months – a sufficient time for the transformation to happen. I am much more peaceful and patient now.
For a foundational yoga instructor course, it was excellent!
This yoga instructor course was a step out of the “comfort zone”, a challenge and an adventure into “spirituality”, which I was seeking for a long time… The topics of mindfulness and meditation were quite new to me when I started the training. They have had a huge positive impact on me and my world. I think everyone would benefit from this knowledge about mindfulness and the way it was delivered: structure, content, people, place, time, etc.
