My YTT journey has forever changed me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I feel stronger in so many ways. I’m inspired beyond words. Liz, Chris, Margi, Joe and Sarah all had different insights to offer and I feel that I have gained a great deal from each of them. The program surpassed my expectations in so many ways from the attention to detail, to fun surprises, to the genuine support we received throughout the journey. It has been transformational, and I have memories and friendships to last a lifetime.

There are not enough words to describe the experience I had. A few words come to mind- Life changing, inspirational, grounding, opening, grateful, informative, and interactive, the most amazing experience with a really amazing group of people. I think I speak for most of the group in saying that we are leaving here with a new outlook on ourselves, and our lives, as well as leaving with a whole new family that we will take with us in our hearts back to our “normal” lives. I wish I could stay in this awesome bubble forever!

When I set out on a quest for a Yoga Teacher Training, I really did not know where to start. I was nervous, scared, and even oblivious to which type of teacher training would be best for me. When I stumbled across The Awakened Life School of Yoga I immediately felt peace and sure about my decision to join them. The training was so much more than what I thought it would be and I left a completely changed person. The faculty and assistants were so welcoming and caring and truly offered support to every student there. I never felt alone and always felt like I could talk to anyone about what I was experiencing. The teachers are some of the best I have ever worked with and trained under. They come from a wide background with a wealth of knowledge and an unabashed love of Yoga, it definitely transcends onto the students. To this day I still come back to my moments in Bali 2014, sitting by the ocean for quiet time in the morning, meditating, practicing, and learning. My practice has grown stronger and I feel as though I have all the tools I need in order to be a successful teacher. If you are looking for a YTT program and want to leave with a unique training, an invigorated practice, and a strong self-awareness then you HAVE to choose The Awakened Life School of Yoga. You won’t regret it!

I always loved yoga but I never understood that yoga was a way of life. Now I feel it! I really feel my yoga in my life now. It’s in me, I am awakened!

This is not just a training based on theory, it is a self-exploration to find your real own truth as a human on earth. To feel grounded and at the same time, to feel open to your most intuitive inner self.

This training is a physical and mental challenge that takes you deeper inside yourself. If you follow the flow and do not stray, even when it is hard, you will expand your love and understanding in a way you have never had before.

Awakened Life is so much more than a Yoga Teacher Training –it shows you how to LIVE YOGA! I have taken away so much. Most importantly, I have the tools to be more aware and mindful of others and myself. I feel hopeful that because of Awakened Life, I can inspire peace in others and myself. How freaking awesome is that?

You are only strangers for the first 3 minutes then you are right into making life- long friends. This program has shown me how to look inside of myself to find the things I thought I was missing. I have gained so much confidence and skill as a teacher and as a person. If you are looking for a challenging yet compassionate way to grow as a teacher and as a human this is the program for you!

When looking into a retreat to obtain an YTT certificate, Awakened Life was the obvious choice from their professional correspondence and website. My high expectations were exceed beyond words mainly from the wisdom and experiences shared by all the teachers. By far the best experience I have had and a truly life-changing journey.

This teacher training is amazing. Words cannot express the lightness that I feel. I am more peaceful and contented and self-assured. I have been part of other personal development courses and this is by far so much more.

From the moment we got here we were told that we were all here at this moment for a reason. For something far greater than we could even imagine and that we were all connected. As the program progressed, I could see that this could not be more accurate. The friendships and memories you’ll make here are incredible and life- long. I would recommend this program to everyone and would love to do it again ASAP! The teachers are so knowledgeable and the classes really shape you into being an amazing teacher. I will never forget this pace and what it did for me. So much love for Chris and Liz for creating such a magical experience day in and day out. Do it – you won’t regret it!

This journey softened my heart and inspired me to live more compassionately. I always felt safe and cared for.

“I was speaking with Yogi friends who have done a YTT and they were so impressed with the curriculum and training that I received at Awakened Life School of Yoga. They were “wowed” by the fact that I was taught asanas with such detail…they said they never received much of the learning material that I did in my immersion training. Many people have told me how impressed they are with my level of knowledge and teaching capability and I’ve only just finished the course a month ago! Awakened Life has an amazing well-rounded program and that is not the case everywhere. They put so much love into what they do and help yogis like me lead and teach from the heart!”

There is a reason why the name is “Awakened Life”, because that is precisely what your team and teachers do, they help you wake up when you didn’t even know you were sleeping. They challenge you while providing unconditional support, creating the ultimate environment for transformation. Truly a beautiful and life changing experience. I couldn’t have been any happier with this school to complete my 300 hour training. Without a doubt one of the best choices I have ever made!

The 500 Hour YTT experience has changed my life. I have gained confidence, improved my self-esteem, found my voice and I am ready to go out in the world to heal and teach. The experience goes way deeper than learning highly technical teaching skills. I’ve learned to love, accept, and free myself fully.

In this training, you are really going to live the yoga experience, not just the poses. You’re going to have the most extraordinary teachers in the world. You are going to be well prepared to be a yoga teacher.You’re going to experience how to be love, and how to love yourself.

“Everyone comes to the yoga teacher training with a different background, you grow as a group, and in the end it is so beautiful that you don’t want to leave. I developed a strong practice, and I also learned how to give joy to other people around me through the gift of yoga. My training with Awakened Life has given me a lot of inspiration!”

This 7 weeks changed my view of myself. I’m more self-confident and I believe in myself. Now I know, that if I really want something, I can get it.

“Doing this retreat brought me so much more than I imagined! The program helped create a deep understanding that I matter in the world, and the teachers supported and guided us on our journey to becoming unique yoga teachers. I learned deeply about myself, and in the process, discovered the whole universe of yoga. Moreover, you can’t dream of a more beautiful place, with delicious food, and a caring staff. And I met friends I will have forever. I recommend this experience to anyone…follow your dreams!”

The timing perfectly lined up for me to take a precious 3-week training in Bali, and I had such an unforgettable time with 14 other students from all over the world, and great teachers and staff from Awakened Life Yoga School. We created our own closely bonded community that will always support us through distance and time. The resort was the perfect place for this special training. It was located right on the beach, and the attentive hotel staff made our whole stay relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable. If something in your heart is calling, pick up your bag, take the teacher training in Bali, and let your own transformation begin!

“The Awakened Life School of Yoga Teacher Training course really stands out for its professionalism and attention to detail. It was apparent from the beginning that there was a huge amount of care and thought going into every aspect of the course. What was wonderful, was that within this careful structure there was so much room for the individual. The environment was genuinely non competitive. You could get really comfortable with your discomfort, and with that you were free to risk and expand in a very personal way. Being out ofour comfort zones felt almost playful. There was deep learning, big changes and lots of laughter.”

“Time for me now will forever be defined as Pre-Bali and Post-Bali. My life before was defined by others and my life after is defined for others. The greatest lesson I learned from my training was how effortless it was to make a genuine connection with a stranger. We all understood that everyone faced challenges throughout the training, and we supported one another through it. We bonded so much that towards the end we all feared that readjusting to our lives at home would be really challenging because we felt so safe in our little yoga tribe. Who at home was going to want to hear about how you just had a yoga breakthrough, and held crow for 5 breaths!? Who was going to spend all of dinner going over a flow with you, and then stay up late making a 2 hour playlist with you? We hit the yoga jackpot.” No one told me I’d make friends that would change my life and my outlook on life forever. Those same 15 strangers from the first day are now 15 new and amazing friends that I am happy to have in my life

I give this place 5 stars because Yoga is more then just a practice its a belief and a way of living anything less then a 5 is a reflection of My personal foundation in Yoga as a belief. This place is full of opportunity, if you want it.

I just love Spectra. The people are so friendly. The teachers are amazing. The class selection is so various you will be hard pressed not find a time to practice. I have made so many friends at this studio because everyone is so welcoming. Being a plus sized girl going to a new studio is always intimidating, but not here. I instantly felt like family. The studio is large with a huge locker room and a great store selection of mats and clothes and other yoga items. You get your first week free so what is there to lose. This studio is amazing and I am so thankful to belong to it.

I'm a hatha yoga teacher but I practice yogalates at this studio and I love it. Amanda at the front desk is always an upbeat and inclusive vibe - plus her pup Buster is the cutest. I take a lot of the yogalates classes here - Aileen is the best! Cheri is another favorite. The studio is huge - 3 big rooms and has every type of yoga and meditation you could want including aerial and acro and full body fitness. One stop shop for body and mind!

My time at spectra was fantastic! I have to say that my experience at Spectra Yoga,although brief, was one of the best I have had at any yoga studio and I was at CorePower for almost a year! I tried the free week at Spectra and felt like I was invited to truly relax and be myself. Whereas, when I was at CorePower I felt like I had to live up to certain expectations. I remember my first day coming in and checking in for my free week and being greeted with smiles and comfort. I...

I recently took a few classes at Spectra Yoga and they have all been amazing! They have an incredible deal that allows you to try their studio free for one week so I thought I would check them out. Immediately when I walked in, I got a good vibe about the place. I was greeted by Amanda (which I later found out was the front desk manager) and she was so sweet and welcoming. I also got a chance to meet the owner Aileen and thought she was super cool! You can tell she puts a lot of effort into the quality of classes and instructors she has at her studio. The class that got me hooked was the hatha/vinyasa level 1.5 (on Wednesday evenings with Jill) All the classes I've taken so far have been great but that one has quickly become my favorite!

This studio is absolutely gorgeous! I've been to several studios in Orange County the last couple of months and have yet to find one that comes close to spectra. Aside from this, the staff is exceptionally warm and welcoming. They do a great job of explaining the variety of classes offered and make you feel comfortable the moment you walk in the door. They are very professional and personable. The instructors are knowledgeable and genuinely interested in making sure that you have a great experience. I highly recommend this studio.
