"When I think about Shivalaya my heart is full of joy and I have happy tears in my eyes and a big smile on my face. The money I spent for that course was the best money I ever spent. I would highly recommend Shivalaya to everyone who thinks about doing yoga teacher training!

It seems impossible to describe the change I experienced during my stay in Shivalaya. And how to choose one unique moment, when this whole time was just a succession of moments. During the training we are kept busy from dawn to dark : practice, learn, study, eat and sleep.

My stay at Shivalaya has been a significant chapter on my travels, whose depths I only came to understand years later. Being welcomed to this new home and given the opportunity to deepen my yoga practice as well as the space to explore inner realms, has been a milestone for my spiritual growth.
