Testimonials
Heidi Bell I am so happy that I decided to go to India for further yoga teacher training through Langara's India Internship program. It was planned so thoughtfully and carefully...every detail was taken care of so that I was able to relax and deepen my Yoga practice and training, as well as enjoy the culture of India. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget.
Barj S. Dhahan The trip to India and living in an ashram in Rishikesh for two weeks was truly a once in a life time experience. I enjoyed the daily routine of silence, yoga practise, study and communal meals consisting of simple but delicious vegetarian Indian meals. I have learnt so much on this journey exploring self and the ways in which I am connected with all living beings and the planet. I am a relatively new pilgrim on this path. It requires effort and dedication to stay on the journey for it is life-long. As a result of this course I feel less afraid and more courageous to live my life fully.
Sarah Jamension The Northern Studies Retreat is an experience beyond words. I can only hope that my teaching and my actions convey what I learned and gained from participating in this program, because, thus far, I have been unable to find the words. If you’re reading this testimonial, I’m assuming you are thinking about going, and in response to those thoughts, I would simply say, “Don’t think, just go.”
Fulroop The advanced yoga retreat in Rishikesh, India was also a phenomenal experience! I truly got to experience the beauty of yoga in one of the most beautiful and spiritual places in the world. I highly recommend the Langara YTT program for future yoga teachers as you will receive an excellent, well-rounded educational experience!
Tracy Sundbo The Northern India Yoga Retreat was one the most amazing life experiences I’ve ever had. I was able to explore myself, and my yoga practice at a much deeper level at the same time feeling safe and secure. The faculty that guided us through our journey were supportive, caring and taught me more about life in 3 weeks than I feel like I’ve learned in a lifetime. Experiencing the country, people and traditions of India with my fellow yogis from Langara helped me gain a new perspective. Not only about teaching yoga, but more importantly, about the place in my heart where I teach Yoga from.
