Written Graduate Testimonials

“I found this to be a very helpful course, not just for preparing to teach yoga philosophy before my yoga classes, but also for myself, to achieve a better quality of understanding. I have always found it difficult to focus on the texts in a group and am easily distracted by outside noises. The combination of this being a course of study, plus using the earphones in addition to the beautiful audios accompanying each lecture, I have improved my comprehension by 100% – such a change for me when I attend other classes and I can actually follow the philosophy rather well now. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting from a yoga philosophy course, but this has definitely surpassed anything I might have imagined. A truly beautiful course that, in addition to receiving a teaching certificate, is a lovely accompaniment to any practice or on its own. I especially love the 5-minute philosophy reflections for in-between. They really make a difference in my day.”
– L. Abrahams (USA)

“Life changing. Through this amazing training, I have been able to break my habit of smoking AND emotional eating for the first time in my life! After years of trying various training centers and retreats, I have now FINALLY found something that works! With the amazing guidance, explanations, presentations and tools in this training, I feel like I am truly set for life. My knowledge and understanding of yoga philosophy has improved more from this training than from over 2 decades of attending all the other courses and trainings combined. Thank you for everything!”
– P. Burgess (UK)

“This course exceeded my expectations. The content and detail really is brilliant. I loved the History of Yoga and I also loved the Changing Habits section. I also found the ‘other philosophical concepts’ section extremely useful too!”
– V. Irvine (Scotland)

“This Yoga Philosophy training far exceeded all of my expectations! I loved it all and am happy I stumbled across it during my online search! It is definitely well worth every cent and an amazing experience.”
– Yihalem Tekeba (USA)

“I highly recommend this Yoga Philosophy training to deepen your understanding and boosting your own philosophical studies. I loved the variety of different practical applications; it was such a luxury to spend so much time trying different philosophical concepts! It is really so enjoyable experiencing a variety of teachings to find the ones that resonate with you most. I truly enjoyed it very much!” – Sara Stenqvist (Sweden)

“I really enjoyed this self-paced Yoga Philosophy training course. I enjoyed the buffet experience of every ancient text; I feel like it gave me the perfect insight into lots of different types of philosophy following which I can explore my favourites deeper. I also now feel equipped to add philosophy to my yoga teachings and have discovered some concepts to delve further into. I really enjoyed having the different length lectures and love that we can go into the course to listen to the lessons even after completion… I loved listening to Taryn’s soothing voice!”
– Caroline Catline (UK)

“This Yoga Philosophy training exceeded my expectations! It was very well balanced and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who is looking to deepen their own philosophical understanding or to learn new concepts. I found the course to be really informative and enjoyable to complete. The variety of teachings and varying lengths of each lesson provided an ideal opportunity to experiment with lots of different styles of philosophy. Taryn’s soothing voice was the ideal guide. I especially found all of the 5-minute reflections really useful to gain exposure to an array of new concepts. It was a good amount of time to squeeze in to my morning routine. The lessons on the Eight Limbs were my favourite; I found these really calming and enjoyable to drift away somewhere nice for 20 mins! The course is really easy to follow and I now know which concepts resonate best with me and which ones aren’t quite the right fit which I believe to be just as valuable. I will certainly return to these recordings in my daily study and am looking forward to sharing my learnings with others! The theory lessons were very informative and not excessively lengthy. I now feel I have a good idea of what teachings are out there and can delve deeper into texts that worked best for me. Thank you Taryn for doing all the hard work for me and collating all of the materials in this easy to use platform. I have undoubtedly learnt a great deal about yoga philosophy over the past few weeks and am proud to say I have adapted a new healthy daily habit.”
– Lucy-Anne O’Sullivan

“Another fantastic course from Loka Yoga School! I have joined them in person in Bali for my teacher training and now also their online academy of continued education courses. And even after knowing the team, this online Yoga Philosophy teacher training course still exceeded my expectations and my knowledge of yoga philosophy. There were so many different types of philosophical concepts, including the Yoga Sutras, to study and experience myself. I enjoyed learning about the philosophy and history behind yoga and the different effects studying these texts can give each person. They helped me open my mind to the different paths and has spurred me on to practice and teach a whole range of different concepts. It exceeded my expectations to have a whole range of different lengths and types of philosophy to learn and practiced myself.”
– Amy Cheers (England UK)

“To me, the world of yoga philosophy is like a destination. Teaching philosophy is like giving a ‘visitor’ a map. While you can explain and guide, the person will ultimately have to make the journey on their own. Knowing the path and walking the path are different things. Loka Yoga School has given me an amazing map which is leading me to a destination. Here, I hope to give the same map to others be there for them as they take their journey. The content in this Yoga Philosophy Training is so rich, explained simply and I did feel that I could reach out to Taryn with questions any time!”
– Ricardo Garcia Jr (USA)

“This in-depth Yoga Philosophy course gave me a solid foundation on which to build and develop my own study practice and skills. I am looking forward to experiencing the healing benefits in understanding the mind not only for my own mental health but also for those I am working with. Yoga Philosophy can be like a healing balm on our physical bodies including our brain. It not only helps our mind and body connect but also makes us aware of the power of thoughts and words in our body. Thank you for making this course available.”
– Melodie Zimmerman (USA)

“I felt that this online Yoga Philosophy certification was a wonderful overview and introduction to anyone who is new to yoga philosophy, hoping to teach or looking to get regular and consistent with their studies! I enjoyed the lectures the most to go through on my own and appreciated that this course was self-paced so I could move through at a speed that felt right for me. The course exceeded my expectations, especially for the price in comparison to other trainings, and I personally loved the guided lessons, it was informative while also supporting the creation of a daily practice.”
– Katie Campbell (USA)

“This Yoga Philosophy training is full of useful and practical information on yoga philosophy! I enjoyed every module, and will be coming back to reference them quite often in the future. I got a lot from the ‘what is yoga philosophy’ and ‘why study it’ sections. I am very interested in how philosophy can benefit the body and mind. I also appreciate the sample teachings that Taryn provided. Love that the course is self-paced I have lifetime access. Thank you!”
– Lottie Medvit (USA)

“I absolutely LOVED this training and it well exceeded my expectations! I really like the non-traditional forms of teaching. I am going to start teaching philosophy in my classes with the Eight Limbs. It reminds me of sitting around a campfire (which we do often in the summer) and getting lost in the flames of deep conversation. Love it!! I also enjoyed the guided lectures, which I will share quite a lot of in my yoga classes. It is always good to hear new material! This teacher training was concise, yet informative. I feel that if I wanted to delve deeper into some aspect of the readings, I have enough knowledge to do so!”
– Bev Suszek (USA)

“What stood out in this Yoga Philosophy course with Loka Yoga School was the holistic approach to well-being. It went beyond the practice of philosophy itself, incorporating valuable lessons on stress management, self-care and emotional balance. I found these insights to be immensely practical and transformative in anyone’s life. In conclusion, this Yoga Philosophy course has been a revelation. It has not only introduced me to the profound benefits of yoga philosophy but also provided me with a holistic toolkit for personal growth and well-being of me and other people. I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and look forward to continuing my philosophy journey with enthusiasm.”
– Ricardo Geciauskas Júnior (Brazil)

“Great material that gave me a good foundation in my own philosophical practice and that I could apply to other areas of my business and personal life.” – Francesca Nichol (USA)

“I really enjoyed learning all about Yoga Philosophy through this teacher training. I felt like this training gave me a good idea of what yoga philosophy is and how it operates and what benefits can be expected. I also felt more secure in troubleshooting my own studies and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to test out a plethora of ancient texts. The course exceeded my expectations of a Yoga Philosophy training and I really enjoyed going through the program. I especially liked that they included a history of yoga and what it is section. I enjoyed learning about different types of philosophical concepts and also actually experiencing them first hand. I felt this was helpful to see how different concepts function and elicit different effects. And also to see which ones I was more partial to. Highly recommended!”
– Lawrence Van Treeck III (USA)

“I loved exploring all the different and various philosophical concepts. Thank you for this course Taryn and Loka Yoga School! Great training, it is up to us to take it from here. Excellent resource moving forward.”
– Kevin Michael Tornai (USA)

“Thank you Loka Yoga school for providing such a complete and fulfilling online course. You’ve been covering a broad spectrum on the world of yoga philosophy. I enjoyed the guided lectures and reading all about the history along with it. All this in my own pace made it my best online course experience so far! The course covered all I was looking for and even more. It was a well structured course building up from the basics with short lessons gradually evaluating in something bigger. Explaining in between made me understand the why and the how making it an overall life changing experience. I’ve been enjoying studying at home in peace, out in nature or during a commute. It all worked so well and the website was well designed for doing the course on a computer, iPad or cellphone. The tips and tricks in the end on how to set up your own classes were a nice ‘icing on top of a well structured cake’!! For anyone who is looking for a Yoga Philosophy course, look no further. I can also recommend doing their Breathwork course too or combining the two, making them both even more powerful enriching your everyday life!”
– Bas Joseph Hendricus Marie Metsemakers (Switzerland)

“Thank you Loka Yoga School for creating an informative and well presented course. I enrolled into this course with an open mind, so I didn’t have strong expectations as I was eager to learn any course material that was presented to me. My experience was pleasant and I thoroughly enjoyed the content, layout and presentation. I enjoyed each of the theory sections, particularly the section on why we study philosophy. I really enjoyed the selection of guided lectures too, they were amazing. The theory sections & videos were well laid out and the content was interesting and reader/listener friendly. I enjoyed the videos, as they were clear, concise and easy to listen to. I really liked how the online platform was presented.” – Sarah Murphy (Ireland)

“The Loka Yoga School Yoga Philosophy Course provides excellent training in the science and art of yoga philosophy. The lessons provide information and experiential practice on the many ways studying the texts can be of tremendous benefit. The course also provides a foundation for yoga teachers to follow in their own classes. It is both professional and profound. Highly recommend!”
– Brigid Elchos (US America)

“This Yoga Philosophy training was truly everything I wanted in a short philosophy course and packs so much more value beyond the price you pay and promises made! I believe I received more from this training than I could have expected and all of the information was clear and deep. I learned so much from the history of yoga, to the myths and the benefits. The material was clear and each lesson was filled with such depth. I am also so grateful for all of the guided lectures, it was lovely to get to experience various philosophical techniques. I feel 100% confident to continue my own study practice and to guide philosophy to clients and groups.” – Nichole Ferro (United States of America)

“This training is a very good introduction to yoga philosophy. It is simple and easy to understand. It provides concrete examples and many styles to explore. It makes philosophy available to all providing tips to include philosophy in your daily routine on a progressive manner. The course can be done on your own pace. I appreciated the simple guided lectures and it gave me a good idea of my favourite techniques. They were easy to follow and stayed away from abstract academic jargon. I really appreciated the tips to make it slowly part of routine, so I hope it will grow on me and become easier.”
– Cindy Ouellet (Saudi Arabia)

“This is great online Yoga Philosophy course to understand the different types of philosophies available. My favourite topic were the Eight Limbs and the tantra philosophy, as well as the history of yoga was quite enjoyable. Also all theory was really well summarized.”
– Ada Garza Martinez (Canada)

“A very well-structured Yoga Philosophy Training. After a short introduction it gives you an overview over different philosophical concepts. Practicing is a pleasure, as there are guided lectures by Taryn. She has a calm, lovely voice. I am already studying daily but it was good to get to know other teachings which I can now add to my daily practice and I really enjoyed testing the different styles and found new ways to improve my daily practice.”
– Christine Jochum-Müller (Germany)

“I enjoyed this course on Yoga Philosophy and it exceeded my expectations. It opened my mind to various types of yoga philosophy.

– Lori Garner (USA)

– Tiahna J Hoko (Australia)

“This training provided me with a buffet of various philosophical techniques and ideas how to bring philosophy to people with various preconceived notions about what yoga philosophy is and is not. I enjoyed the wide range of teachings they offered. It helped me better identify how I like to connect with my heart and body through philosophy. After taking the breathwork training with Loka Yoga School, I found myself wanting to dive more into the physiological and anatomical benefits. I recommend this training to any teacher who is looking to incorporate philosophy techniques into your offerings and wants to make philosophy relatable for many students.”
– Sarah Hutcherson (USA)

“This Yoga Philosophy training is also a wonderful introductory course to the basics of yoga philosophy. It is so beautifully laid out on a professional platform and everything explained thoroughly, clearly and concisely. I enjoyed all of the elements of the training, but I did particularly enjoy being re-introduced to mantra chanting, which I am now enjoying all over again. This course has really helped to re-ignite my passion for philosophy. Thank you.”
– Julie May Henderson (Scotland)

“This Yoga Philosophy Course was exactly what I needed to feel confident in guiding philosophy discussions with my clients. It included historical background, theory, access to several types of concepts to experience, and guidance on how to lead a class in philosophy. I loved the access to so many types of teachings. Experiencing them all first hand gave me a better idea of the different types that I can offer to my own clients. It teaches basics and encourages you to dive deeper into certain forms of philosophy, that you’re exposed to through the course, on your own. Loved it!”
– Belinda McCall (USA)

“Thank you for creating an accessible and safe space for philosophy and learning. The techniques in each chapter were vast and supported what I needed to feel more confident in philosophy guidance and offering weekly practices in my community.

– Brandee Walton (USA)

“I would highly recommend Loka Yoga School Yoga Philosophy course to anyone whom is looking to know more about yoga philosophy. My experience was wonderful, the philosophy course was more than what I expected. I loved that there where video and audio only options. Loka Yoga touched on different philosophies, and love and appreciate how they make it known that you have to find what works for the student.”
– Jessica Jazmin Mesias (USA)

“I really enjoyed this Yoga Philosophy Training. I had the opportunity to experience different kinds of philosophical concepts and to learn also the theory about that. I expected a lot of practice, and that’s exactly what this course is! With videos of how to teach every technique and then a guided practice of each too. I think that in order to guide a philosophy class you really need to study yourself. You really need time to integrate, so my suggestion is don’t rush. Enjoy the guided lectures and repeat them, until it’s a habit.”
– Barbara Valaguzza (Italy)

“I am so thankful that I opted to take this yoga philosophy course. I came into the course with a novice level of philosophy knowledge and was a bit of a skeptic. The course really broadened my perspective and gave me a deeper understanding of the practice of yoga philosophy. Since taking the course I have incorporated a philosophy practice into my yoga practice and have found philosophy to be a beneficial addition to my practice. The skills that studying has given me even carry into my daily life giving me a calmer, more focused approach to my days. Thank you so much Taryn and Loka Yoga School for expanding my knowledge!”
– LisaMarie Smith (USA)

“This online Yoga Philosophy course with Loka Yoga School has helped me find ways to explain yoga philosophy to other people in a better way than before. As a yoga teacher, I love the transmission of mantra and philosophy to my students, but since it is not something that people are used to, it’s also nice to have different types of philosophy to offer to students. The content of the course is of very good quality and is very well structured. It provides a great understanding of ancient texts. When learning each concept, we are offered an opportunity to practice it and are given a thorough description of how it works. Finally I would say that with this course, I’m confident enough to build a workshop about philosophy as well as offer regular classes to my students. It will also give me the possibility to explore news ways to study daily.”
– Christine Hoareau (France)

“Based on the website and what the course promised to offer, I had high expectations… my experience was absolutely wonderful and my expectations were far exceeded! This Yoga Philosophy course was perfect! It was incredibly effective at providing me with a thorough history of yoga but also providing practical exposure to many different styles of philosophy. I really enjoyed the section explaining how Yoga Philosophy can help you break bad habits and the guide to allow me to do so. I also really enjoyed learning about the history of Yoga and all of the short 5-minute reflections, as well as the long sessions. The Bhagavad Gita module was incredible!!”
– Beth Cooper (USA)

“The yoga philosophy course with Loka Yoga School was phenomenal. It is the second training of 4 courses I’m planning to take with them! I am learning a lot through the teachers here and this journey. Thank you for all your time and efforts Taryn, Yann and the Loka Yoga School team!”
– Zuher Somji (Canada)

– Elira Rodriguez (USA)

I feel equipped to move forward with my philosophy classes and teachings.”
– Sherry Vigliotti (USA)

“This experience exceeded my expectations. I did not realize that there were so many styles/types of philosophy and I love that there were a variety of guided lectures to experience and mirror as I begin to develop my own classes and offerings for my clients. The studies of the Upanishads are something that I truly enjoyed along with Tantra and the history of yoga as presented here. After studying with just the assistance of books and YouTube, I felt it was time to take my education of the practice and styles to the next level. Yoga Philosophy has helped my tremendously with my own mindset over the last few years and I have been advising my clients to make it a part of their daily practice. Now, thanks to this training with Loka Yoga School, I have the tools I need to teach them to do so and most importantly, help them to find the style of yoga that fits their needs best!”
– Nicole Hynes (USA)

– Mason James Steffen (USA)

“I really liked this course, it is very informative. It’s simple and gives the idea what yoga philosophy is and that it actually is a very simple practice and everyone can do this. I really enjoyed all of the 5 min reflections very much, and I will use them in my daily practice with my online students too. I already lead philosophy discussions for groups and individuals, but this course has given me extra ideas and knowledge to include!”
– Magdalena Lewandowska (Poland)

“It was great to have an online teacher training course to gain certification in Yoga Philosophy over the lockdown! This course is very well put together and super easy to follow. Thank you Loka Yoga School!”
– Caitlin Hunt (Australia)

“I enjoyed this Yoga Philosophy Training with Loka Yoga School very much and I appreciated how it was broken down into different segments. What I most like about this training is how I will utilize the training as a resource for my own teachings and have it for life. I found it to be informative and inspiring and Taryn’s calm voice really contributed to the peacefulness I achieved during the guided lectures. From the guided lectures to guided studies to other philosophical techniques, these teachings will allow me to offer a vast range of mindfulness exercises to my clients. Different exercises resonate with different people so having such a broad range of information will help me help my clients. Thank you so much for such a valuable training Loka Yoga School!”
– Sara Green (USA)

– Louiza Romane (Australia)

“It was refreshing to see there are multiple ways to study philosophy… I enjoyed the range of concepts offered, as it isn’t a one size fits all scenario! This Yoga Philosophy training with Loka Yoga School has allowed me to feel more confident teaching yoga philosophy after completing this course, with such a diverse range of philosophical concepts covered in the course. I will be incorporating the different styles into my sessions, depending on the theme of the week. It is certainly value for money and offers more than you would expect from a 20 hour training. It definitely exceeds my expectations!”
– Melanie Davidson (New Zealand)

The course included not only explanation, but also practical information, on how to incorporate these techniques into your life or to work towards specific personal goals. Really useful.”
– Lindsey Parry (from UK but living in Abu Dhabi)

– Bakhtawar Mehdi (USA)

“Thank you very much for the opportunity to take this Yoga Philosophy Training with the teachers at Loka Yoga School. After completing the online Yin Yoga teacher training course I took the opportunity, although I had not originally intended to do the Philosophy course. I found it was very informative, useful for those who want to lead philosophy discussions and also very useful for those who simply want to learn more about yoga philosophy and apply it themselves. It helps us to understand the essence of yoga philosophy, dispels misconceptions or foggy ideas about philosophy and gives us a great tool to move forward with. Really appreciated!!”

– Raia Mihaylova (Bulgaria)

I found this online Yoga Philosophy training to be extremely informative, interactive, and thought-provoking as I begin my philosophy journey. This training has increased my knowledge significantly, it also serves as a great first-exposure learning experience and has only increased my hunger to learn more about the ancient texts. I am continuing to go back and enjoy all of the guided lectures/studies provided in this training, as well, to incorporate Philosophy into my life daily. I am currently enrolled in the breathwork course, as well. These two courses paired together beautifully and have helped me gain a better understanding on the importance of our breath.”

– Maddie Schipper (New Zealand)

“My wife and I own a Wellness Studio in which we provide nutrition guidance, exercise (group and one on one), yoga, and Tai Chi. The lessons learned via the Loka Yoga School Yoga Philosophy Training course were outstanding in their clarity and guidance. We will be able to provide the wonderful benefits of yoga philosophy to our clients whether as stand alone experiences or as an additional to our existing sessions. What will be absolutely beneficial for our clients are the quantity and quality of experiences unique for each person. Specifically, I now have a philosophy product for all of my clients in my toolbox. If I need short add on lessons, I have 5 and 10 minute experiences and if I need a full experience, I have that too in sessions such as the Eight Limbs technique, or the Chakra techniques. The way in which Taryn organizes and presents her video presentations are clear and easy to follow. I am very thankful for this course and look forward to taking several more. I’ve already signed up for Loka Yoga School’s Breathwork Teacher Training course!”
– Kerry Ruiz (USA)

“I have to thank you for putting together such a thorough, easy-to-follow Yoga Philosophy course that broadened my outlook on philosophy, pushed me outside of my comfort zone and detail a rich history of the practice. This training with Loka Yoga School exceeded my expectations because it was very well outlined in the description, prior to commencing. I really liked that the course was able to provide a breakdown of the many different philosophical paths and also understand how best they might fit into my routine. The calm, informative delivery style was consistent throughout. I also really enjoyed learning about the history of yoga and where its different paths originated in the wider yogic world. The idea that we might have a style that best suits our personality or physiology e.g. Mind-, body-, heart-centric paths. Also, the separation between those styles that are mind- and body-focussing was eye-opening. It’s great to be able to apply this language when describing philosophy practices in a professional manner to people! Not only has my own practice developed into a tool of self-improvement now, but I feel confident enough to pass on the methodology and techniques I have learnt through this training course!”
– James Powles (UK)

“This yoga philosophy course provides a vast array of philosophical paths to choose from, with practical audios video tutorials, full length practices and materials to use that teachers can use for their classes with students. Would highly recommend to practitioners and teachers who are seeking to experience creative philosophy styles for themselves in their own practice and also to implement in their classes for their students.”
– Hendrix Taylor (USA)

“Thank you so much! I booked the Breathwork + Yoga Philosophy package and I found these particular online trainings super helpful when getting into teaching both subjects online. Having lifetime access is super helpful to have in the back pocket when creating new lessons and self practices. I look forward to investing more time into my own practice and creating flow with breath and philosophy. Much gratitude.”
– Nicole Hammond (USA)

“I hadn’t intended to do a Yoga Philosophy Training, but since the opportunity arose after the amazing online Yin Yoga teacher training course with Loka Yoga School, I took it…. I’m very glad I did. I’ve cleared up my foggy ideas about proper ancient texts and although I’ve been studying them before, now that I have a comprehensive and clear understanding of yoga philosophy, I will be more confident in my practice. Thank you so much for this valuable resource!”
– Andrea Szilágyi (France)

“I think Loka Yoga School did a great job in explaining the history of Yoga in this teacher training. For me it has always been a lacking point, from my YTT but also from personal research; it can be really overwhelming when looking online or reading some books. I appreciated the effort they made to deliver a clear timeline of yoga practices and how the philosophy was explained. It was easy for us to grasp all we need and to actually remember it. Thank you for giving me what I was missing. I feel I can dive deeper into my yoga philosophy practice and I feel confident in teaching it to others.”
– Sabrina Gasperetti (Italy)

“I am completely blown away by Loka Yoga School’s online Yoga Philosophy Training. This online course is filled with so much knowledge, to help set you up for success. I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2019 and my Yin Yoga certification in 2020 with Loka Yoga School. Here I am one year later continuing my education with the team, once again. Taryn is such a beautiful person inside and out and her teachings are contagious. This Yoga Philosophy Training was such a transformative course. I can’t wait to share my teachings with others. Much love to you all!”
– Danielle Trzebiatowski (USA)

“I’m so glad I took this Yoga Philosophy Training with Loka Yoga School! I have gained new knowledge about Yoga Philosophy and how our minds work when we sit in silence and study.

– Natascha Schelle (Denmark)

“This online yoga philosophy course is highly recommended and exceeded my expectations. It covers an extensive range of topics with practical and useful information and examples. The online method allows students to proceed at their own pace and review material as needed to gather a full comprehension of the topics. This course would benefit both novice and one with experience in yoga philosophy. The various topics include both text readings and audio clips. Both guided lectures and guided studies are included in the course. I certainly learned a lot about a variety of philosophical techniques and also the history of yoga. Thank you Taryn and Loka Yoga School for all you do to help others learn about yoga philosophy.”
– James Gaston (USA)

“My expectations were far exceeded! This course has greatly increased my understanding, and has made it fuller and deeper, although it has also taught me there is more for me to learn. It has given me the tools I need to strengthen my personal practice, and introduce others to solid philosophical techniques. I enjoyed learning about the 5 yoga superpowers and the many tips for creating a consistent practice. I also enjoyed learning about some of the more unusual (at least for me) concepts. I have been able to use all of these tips to establish a good personal practice. I also enjoyed the discussion of the history of yoga and its larger context. Thank you for such a wonderful online course!”
– Scott Mack (USA)

“WOW! Often when you embark on completing a course, you are concerned – is this course exactly what I am after? Will it help me? Will it allow me to help others?

Simple but effective, this is a knowledgeable and informative Yoga Philosophy training that is so professional and valuable. I highly recommend it.

This training was very direct, and suffused with solid knowledge. I thought the training was comprehensive, clear and good value for the investment. Loka Yoga School did an excellent job of organizing the content, laying out a firm foundation for anyone interested in the art of yoga philosophy. And I especially appreciated the self-paced aspect of the training!”
– Jacqui Maxfield (Australia)

“This course is fantastic. It gives an excellent overview of the history of yoga and it’s evolution through cultures over time. I took a lot of Buddhism classes as part of my religious studies undergrad work and in this training, they did a really fantastic job of giving an overview for beginners too! The teachings themselves were varied and gave an excellent trial of different types. This really helped me define my own style and understand which philosophies I am most in alignment with.”
– R K Flynn (Canada)

“This training was amazing! I really enjoyed every single moment I spent learning from this course. I learnt so much! I highly recommend this specific training course especially for busy people who don’t have specific time in the day to attend in-person trainings. Thank you Loka Yoga School. Much love to you!”

“This is an excellent course to introduce yoga philosophy and also provide many different philosophical techniques. It provides the frame work to break bad habits and to replace with good habit. Also, it provides the benefit for studying on daily basis. It provides many different type of philosophy techniques for students to explore and choose the ones suitable for themselves. Also, it provide tips for teaching philosophy classes. I learned Yin Yoga through Loka Yoga School and was extremely satisfied as I received so much knowledge about Yin Yoga and felt that I was fully equipped to teach others. Now I feel that I am confident to use what I have learned from both courses to apply to my yoga and philosophy teachings!”
– Fang Xin Xu (Canada)

“I am deeply grateful for this Yoga Philosophy training (I booked the combo with Yin Yoga!) I didn’t know what to expect, but I really wanted to learn more about yoga philosophy and expand my overall knowledge – this training well exceeded that! I was also inspired by the offer of philosophy and yin yoga together. I would like to thank the entire Loka Yoga School team for this online teacher training. It gave me a lot of pleasure and it was also very pleasant to work at my pace.”
– Diana Pavic (Krotatia)

“I loved this Yoga Philosophy training. Very thoughtful instruction and a great variety in learning experiences. The philosophical practice along with learning the history of Yoga were my favourite topics and I was most fond of the format and structure of the training. Taryn also sent us Philosophy scripts to assist when teaching our own classes! Thank you.”
– Angela Hernandez (USA)

“Another well crafted online training by Loka Yoga School! This yoga philosophy course is easy to follow and navigate. It is broken down into small components; making setting the right pace for self-learning a breeze. I loved the variety of philosophical practices presented, it was very informative. I loved the theory and information presented in the training too. It was very informative and was great to learn about more styles than I had previously been exposed too. It was delightful completing the practical aspects too!”
– Sarah Malone (Australia)

“I really enjoyed this Yoga Philosophy Training! Especially the variety of the different techniques and the opportunity to try all of them. I also love the online platform used and that the training is self-paced so I can work on it whenever I want. I’m still struggling sometimes with studying first thing in the morning and I’m grateful for the guided lectures because I feel more comfortable with them instead of studying on my own. This training was the perfect overview of all Yoga Philosophy techniques, the history and background!”
– Jana Fuchs (Switzerland)

“I really enjoyed the Yoga Philosophy course from Loka Yoga School. Taryn is a dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate teacher. The course has already greatly enhanced my own practice and knowledge of yoga philosophy and I am looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned with others!”
– Lehshel Kolter (USA)

“This course is designed passionately and gracefully, with plenty of knowledge and wisdom shared! Have the opportunity to complete a Yoga Philosophy training online with Loka Yoga School during the COVID pandemic was wonderful (following completion of their other amazing trainings!) I was ready to go further in my personal inner journey and to find the inner peace and I also wanted to learn more about different philosophical techniques. Now, after gaining so much knowledge and insight, I want to share my experience and help many other souls with this pure magic medicine! I know the benefits through personal experience and, after doing the course, I can confidently guide people using different techniques. The guided lectures and scripts with Taryn definitely help for sharing the practice with others! This course embodies all that yoga philosophy is about.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is interested in teaching Yoga Philosophy or simply deepening your own practice.”

I really like the way Taryn explains everything and just makes it easy to understand. I also really enjoyed her teachings throughout the course, they gave a great insight of what to expect when teaching. Who knew there were so many ways to apply philosophy, there really is a method of philosophical study for everyone in this course which made it even more enjoyable and helped me feel more confident in teaching to others. The course is laid out in such a way that one part flows beautifully to the next, again helping you gain understanding of each part before moving on.

– Vaila Irvine (Scotland)

“Thank you so much for developing this program. The training is very easy to follow. You can certainly tell it comes from a place of passion! Taryn has a very nurturing and calming voice. You can see the passion and effort that has gone into this course.”
– Jay Gardam (Australia)

“I absolutely LOVED the various areas the course covered. The Eight Limbs, Tantric philosophy, the visualisations, Ayurveda and Mindfulness were my favourites! I was really able to perform a very good study session with these guidances. I found the segment on Changing Habits very helpful (I am still on the 7-week plan and it is interesting to watch the evolution of the bad habit and observe its changes). I loved all the 5-minute reflections too (“Letting Go” & “I Am” among the favorites) and have been selecting one for use before my home practices.”
– Lisa A (Germany)

“I loved this Yoga Philosophy course, it was so good! I enjoyed all of the course, especially the way each of the many different philosophical techniques are explained and understanding each technique. I learnt so much in the training and it was super interesting.”

I liked the studies and teachings of them; I have been teaching yoga philosophy for a few years now and found it was nice to hear fresh ideas, new knowledge, skills and perspectives. This Yoga Philosophy training contained great substance, and Taryn’s knowledge of teaching is amazing. She has a very kind way of speaking and its easy to follow while listening to the guided lectures and classes. I will certainly look into coming to Loka Yoga School when I can come to Bali!”
– Miranda Cossuta (Canada)

“What a magical journey! I am so grateful I did this Yoga Philosophy training with Loka Yoga School! I learnt so much and feel so ready to add more in-depth philosophical discussions to my yoga classes as well. Looking forward to guiding philosophy-only classes too now. Thanks so much!”
– Michelle Jacques (Australia)

“This yoga philosophy training was very well balanced and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who is looking to deepen their own philosophical practice or to try out new techniques. I found the course to be really informative and enjoyable to complete. The variety of techniques and varying lengths of each practice provided an ideal opportunity to experiment with lots of different styles of philosophy. Taryn’s soothing voice was the ideal guide. The course is really easy to follow and I now know which styles work best for me and which ones aren’t quite the right fit which I believe to be just as valuable. I will certainly return to these recordings in my daily practice and am looking forward to sharing my learnings with others! Thank you Taryn for doing all the hard work for me and collating all of the materials in this easy to use platform. I have undoubtedly learnt a great deal about yoga philosophy over the past few weeks and am proud to say I have adapted a new healthy daily habit.”

– Alexa Haskins-Holzbrecher (Germany)

“Given my experience with other Loka Yoga School online courses, I expected to learn a lot and enjoy this course, which is exactly what I received. While I’ve experienced the many benefits of yoga philosophy for years, I’ve not been able to effectively describe the process, techniques and benefits to others. The content in this course has provided me with better ways to communicate this information to others. This course is a great resource not only in the various types of philosophies, but also in how to present the benefits to others. Particularly helpful for me was the information on helping to troubleshoot why one’s philosophical practice may not be progressing as expected.”
– Lori Ouellette (Germany)

“I walked away from Loka Yoga School’s yoga philosophy course with a deeper understanding of how to study daily, which in turn has helped me guide students through yoga philosophy. This course is a great way to explore which philosophical techniques work best for you and why certain techniques are hard to incorporate. By strengthening my philosophy practice, I am a better guide!”
– Sarah Hutcherson (USA)

“This was an awesome course that I thoroughly enjoyed. The ideas are explained in clearly and in detail. There are many examples provided. The 5 minute reflections are great and provide a variety in order to see what teachings I preferred personally. The mindfulness templates are awesome and will definitely be used. overall a great course that I would absolutely recommend!”
– Daniel Chapman (Canada)

“I was pleasantly surprised! The course was delicious! As an experienced yogi, I found the information valuable. The history included the diversity I crave. The different types of philosophies taught were enjoyable, very enlightening, and gave more clarity. The videos and sound recordings were well done and concise. The course was drawing me back to completion because I was receiving so much joy from expanding my practice. I plan to come back to revisit even though it is finished. A package of two courses were purchased: Breathing and Philosophy. I will be looking into the other classes you offer. It was fun, educational, complete, and a great resource to have all in one place. Well worth the money, well done! Thank you.”
– Nina Larkins (USA)

“There was more content than I expected going into this course! I loved learning about philosophy surrounding yoga, as well as the elements of letting go manifesting as allowing to be rather than to get rid of. This was truly a great course with in-depth philosophy and explanations surrounding the texts and the techniques/tools needed to be successful in leading your own practice as well as guiding others.”
– Jack Cummings (USA)

“I loved this yoga philosophy course! Great content, engaging yet easy to understand and follow. I loved all of the guided lectures and visualizations. I felt like I gained a thorough understanding of yoga philosophy and its benefits. I will strive to continue a daily practice. I love to close my eyes, tune out the world and tune in to my self. Thank you again! I have also done the breathwork training through Loka Yoga and have loved both experiences. Much love!”
– Ryan Forestall (USA)

“Loka Yoga is great for anyone looking for a self-paced journey to mind-body connection. I did the Yoga Philosophy Training for personal development and growth, and now it’s inspired me to share that with others. Great insight, easy to follow, and lots of resources.”
– Siobhan Llewellyn (Canada)

“I enjoyed the Mantra chanting and Chakra studies. I use both of those for myself. I enjoyed all of the information. I got more than I thought I would. Many things to take into my practice and to share in my class. There was nothing that I didn’t like. Excellent Yoga Philosophy Teacher training, tons of information to fully understand the reasons and practice of Yoga Philosophy. I received way more information than I thought I would get. Very happy.”
– Bridgette Strong (USA)

“I’m very happy I decided to add the Yoga Philosophy course to my Yin course with Loka Yoga School. I have been teaching a guided philosophy discussion with coworkers for over a year and sometimes felt stuck or unsure if I was teaching correctly. Through the guided/recorded lecture and tip for teaching, I feel confident in my teaching of guided philosophy. Thank you!”
– Stephanie Lannon (Canada)

“I thoroughly enjoyed this course and am really looking forward to putting what I’ve learned into practice! The lessons throughout are really thorough, well-explained and insightful, and include a great range of knowledge to help to better understand yoga philosophy itself and to cultivate a consistent practice in it. I love the vast variety of philosophical concepts available to practice and the assistance in making a lasting habit of it. Taking this course has not only given me the confidence to share and teach this practice, but it’s also connected me to yoga philosophy more deeply as a daily practice, and reconnect to the power of it for my own benefit.”
– Yvonne Doherty (Ireland)

“This is a top notch course. As an experienced yogi, it has helped me to expand further into my own practice and has really provided me a great opportunity to channel this information to other people so that it’s actually practical and realistic for the average person or even more experienced people. I feel a lot more confident about my ability to teach it to others. You won’t find yourself running out of places to get a great perspective on the philosophy and practicality for the practice of yoga philosophy.”
– Jake Pirsch (USA)

“This yoga philosophy course provides comprehensive information on history of yoga, how to implement philosophy into our daily lives and how to deal with any difficulties in practice. It showcases variety of philosophies and encourages to experiment and find our own own of studying. One can go back and practice all lessons with scripts. A very good intro to the world of yoga philosophy!”
– Margo Gladys (USA)

“This yoga philosophy course gave me a deeper understanding of the history, theory and practice of yoga philosophy. The lessons covered a variety of topics some of which I was already familiar with and others that were new concepts. Completing the course has given me the confidence to use what I’ve learned to help others on the healing journey using yoga philosophy. The knowledge gained is well worth the commitment it takes to succeed. The Loka Yoga school yoga philosophy course will inspire you to use different types of philosophical practices to reach different groups instead of just the typical version most of us have been exposed to. It will open up your personal practice in ways that are unexpected and filled with growth.”
– Stacie Seidl (USA)

“This online yoga philosophy course gives a well rounded comprehensive overview over the basics of this topic. Especially, the theoretical background helps a lot to start understanding what yoga philosophy actually is. In combination with the quite extensive library of different kinds of philosophy which can all be experienced and practiced whenever one can make time for it, it is a great starting point to dive deeper into ones self-practice and maybe even teaching. For the first time I feel that I could explain the benefits of yoga philosophy to a sceptic person 🙂 Since all the modules can be used freely without having to stick to a certain order, this course is easy to use and can simply be integrated into every – even very busy- schedule. I learnt a lot about philosophy even though I had a consistent philosophy practice for over two years before I took this course. Thank you for this great course!”
– Olga Czyzak (Japan)

“The Loka Yoga Philosophy course is a fantastic way of broadening your techniques and provides a fantastic insight into the world of yoga philosophy. What surprised me most, was that I approached this course from more of a scientific point of view, looking to understand the physical and psychological benefits, however as I progressed through the course, I very quickly became drawn towards the spiritual aspects too. Now having experienced all of the varying techniques and understanding both the scientific and spiritual aspects, I feel I know have a greater connection with my practice, in turn providing me with an improved ability to connect with my future students and classes. I cannot thank you guys enough for what this course has done for me, I feel able to better control my thoughts, moods and behaviours through following your practices, and can now integrate them into my every day life. I have already passed on some of my knowledge to people who I know suffer from anxiety and stress, which is a fantastic thing to be able to do, and just builds my commitment and confidence to help others on their journey and improve their way of life. Thank you so much!”
– Samuel Brooks (UK)

“I am so excited to share what I have learned in this Yoga Philosophy Course by Loka Yoga School. All of the lessons I learned in this Yoga Philosophy Teacher Training will not only help me, but all of my clients as well. As a believer in yoga philosophy, this course has strengthened my knowledge in yoga philosophy. I am so pleased with this yoga philosophy course, and I know it will help me to be as helpful as I can to others seeking philosophy instruction. I am forever grateful for this amazing Course and will recommend to anyone who is interested in Yoga Philosophy. Yoga Philosophy is an amazing tool to help with self love and inner guidance, I really enjoyed the Eight Limbs teachings it was amazing and all of the guided lectures were extremely helpful. I loved the Chakra meditations as well and will definitely use these techniques in my practice. Thank you so much for an amazing yoga philosophy course!”
– Alana Tracy (USA)

“Although I have had a personal philosophy practice for a year, I wanted to learn more about different techniques. I wanted to be prepared for what preconceptions, misconceptions, and myths might come up once I start teaching yoga philosophy classes with my yoga classes. This course was exactly what I needed! I learned so much and took several pages of notes! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on the wonderful practice of yoga philosophy!”
– Melissa Whalen (USA)

“The yoga philosophy course gives practical application to so many forms of philosophy while also providing the history and intent of each technique covered. As someone who only practices one style of philosophy (the Sutras), I enjoyed learning about others that haven’t been offered or discussed in other trainings I have completed. The course uses simple language to describe the techniques so anyone can follow along with ease, and allows for practice through guided sessions. The entire course is well planned, beautifully narrated, and informative.”
– Rachel C Breithaupt (USA)
