Ashiyana had come highly recommended by fellow teachers and students and still managed to exceed expectations.

An absolutely fantastic place, I had a wonderful time with my TTC at Trimurti.

It deepened my asana practice and opened up new perspectives on yoga in general. Also, the teachers are all very knowledgeable and professional, and you get plenty of mind-blowing information during the course.

Here is what Manil Gupta a student of Alexandra Denkinger has to say about the trainings she provides

My Yin Yoga session by Alexandra was simply exceptional. The class started with a warm welcome by Alex and 3 of her students followed by a brief description of Yin Yoga. She then instructed various postures to balance the water element inside the body. Being a beginner, I did struggle in some of the slightly difficult postures, but with her support, I was able to cruise through them successfully. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I look forward to continuing my Yin Yoga practice. (source teacher website)

 Here is what Kelly Mulhall a student of Upaya Yoga had to say

I completed my YTT in Nov 2017 and really had one of the most incredible experiences. Everything about the course was great. Anil, Rohil and Prem were fantastic teachers and all taught in their own style. Mama Prachi ensured that no-one ever felt homesick and was always on hand to dish out a hug when things got hard. The food was varied and delicious. We were eased into teaching step by step so that it was never too daunting when we came to teach a full hour or 90 minute class. I left feeling confident and ready to teach on my own. I learnt lots of new things about myself mentally and physically and will never forget Upaya. The only thing I would say for improvement is that it would have been good to be assessed on the 90 minute class to see if we had acted and improved on the 60 minute class feedback. Other than that I could not recommend Upaya enough. (source facebook reviews)
