"Not only did this course expand my understanding of the technical and anatomical aspects of yoga and the body, it was also a deeply transformative experience. Through open discussions of self study and philosophical contemplations, many of my perspectives on life have shifted and expanded. Sydney provided such a safe, warm, and accepting place for us students to dive into who we truly are, and how to bring more light in the world through the practices of yoga. It was never a forceful or intimidating experience, rather an explorative and encouraging journey. I walked away from the course feeling rooted in who I uniquely am and confident in what I have to offer as a yoga teacher. The content in this course is so intentionally designed to bring well rounded, deep learning in every session, balanced with application and digestion of the content. Sydney is open minded and covers multiple ways of thinking on every topic, giving the students the power and freedom to choose exactly how they want their yoga practice to be. We were presented with the full picture of what yoga is, practical tools to apply our knowledge, and are well equipped to confidently carry on her legacy".

“Learning from Sydney in the teacher training program was an absolute life-changing experience for me! Her diverse background in yoga and fitness made every session rich with knowledge. She broke down the yoga sutras in a way that totally clicked, lifting me up mentally and spiritually. Plus, her yoga sequences were like poetry in motion – so beautifully flowing and perfectly arranged. Taking her training was seriously the best thing I've ever done for myself. Feeling incredibly blessed to have had Sydney as my guide on this journey. ”

"I have know Raf for over 7 years and have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him under his mentorship program. From the get go Raf has been an amazing resource support and friend. I was so eager to start in the health and fitness industry and he did not hesitate to take me under his wing, I was his first protege and I can tell you the experience was nothing but exceptional. I knew absolutely nothing when I started as a trainer and I mean nothing, but since working in his mentorship program for several months I left feeling confident, equipped and ready to take on the fitness industry by storm. Raf is an extremely patient person and just has a way about him where you feel comfortable and that failing isn’t in his vocabulary. Not only was the mentorship cram packed with useful and educational material it was fun and interactive. Anyone looking to start a career in health and fitness this is a must! I highly recommend anyone to sign up for Raf’s courses, believe me you won’t regret it!

“Sydney is an incredible teacher, you can ask her endless questions and she’ll be happy to answer all of them to the best of her ability!! She’s super knowledgeable and is able to explain concepts several different ways to make sure you understand. Would definitely do another course taught by Sydney in the future!”
