"This teacher training has literally changed my life. I am so grateful to learn from a knowledgeable teacher like Elise who has studied in India and is passionate about the journey and helping people heal. Learning the Sutras has helped me direct energy to areas of nourishment and unplug from energy no longer serving me. Bringing the body and the breath into alignment is a rebirth into deep levels of love and passion. Thank you so much, Elise, for creating this space, time, curriculum to share the wisdom you have gained and to help us grow wings! – Lana
"The weekends spent together were powerful. Each week I gained knowledge that I needed on and off my mat. For the first time in a while, I have a really solid yoga practice that goes beyond the physical aspect of just asana. I am inspired to continue this journey whether that means teaching or jumping into more training, going to a retreat, or practicing solo for awhile. What an amazing experience you cultivated for us. Thank you! – Anon
"I intuitively knew this teacher training would be life-changing; but even so, it far exceeded my expectations. – Anon
"Taking Gayatri Yoga Teacher Training was a life-changing process for me – full of personal growth. Elise is compassionate, fun, knowledgeable, and is a respected teacher. This is a course you should consider if you want to deeply dive into yoga – its history, its philosophy, practices and applications. You will emerge better for having experienced the nurturing intensity of having taken this path of learning regardless if your goal is to teach or deepen your personal practice. I am grateful for the opportunity to have experienced the class and bond with my fellow students. – Maria
