Shanti Yoga Training School Testimonials

 

Nathalie Croix, the lead trainer and owner of Shanti Yoga Training School has made this training, although online, very personable. There was an abundance of information, zoom meetings and practices. Email interactions were accessible with quick responses and personal mentoring. I never thought an online course would be so rewarding. It was beneficial to watch and rewatch training sessions as well written information and lectures. I highly recommend Nathalie and her school to everyone. She teaches a classic Vinyasa style with an undeniable knowledge of all aspects of yoga.” — - Dawn Maggio RYT 500 | South Carolina

I was excited to start my training with Shanti Yoga Training School, but also nervous since it was virtual. I could not have been happier and more pleased. Being a mother, of three small children, I needed the flexibility to work at my own pace which is exactly what this program offered. The content was very informative. The book recommendations were spot on to what we were learning about and how to implement the particular subjects into our practice. Nathalie also has weekly mentoring sessions in which we can still be connected as a group even though the program is virtual. I am so happy I found her program and would recommend it to anyone. I have learned so much from her and am very thankful for her guidance.” - Lindsay Dausman RYT 500 | Missouri

"Nathalie is the most inspirational instructor. Whenever I felt defeated or like completion of this program was outside of my reach, she always had the right words to encourage me to press on. She is obviously an expert in the asanas, but more importantly, she thoroughly understands and is able to clearly convey and teach the fullness of "all" that is yoga.” - Michelle Delery RYT 200 | Owner of Uplift NOLA Studio

“Shanti Yoga Training School provides excellent teacher training. Lead Trainer, Nathalie Croix, is amazing- She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and a skilled instructor. I was somewhat hesitant to begin a teacher training during this time when everything is virtual/on Zoom, however, the Shanti Yoga Training School virtual platform made the content easy to navigate, and Nathalie has created an online community for students that gives a sense of connection. I am very grateful for this experience, and I highly recommend this program!” - Caitlin Schaefer RYT 500 | Wyoming

“Nathalie is an amazing instructor. She has both broad and deep experience and is well connected in the yoga world, bringing much of her network to us. He program was varied and focused on all key aspects. My favorite part was her focus on yoga as a business and we spent significant time here which really differentiated the program for me. Highly recommend the program and any classes/courses with Nathalie.” - Sue Stitham RYT 500 | New Hampshire

"I can't imagine a better yoga teacher training school than Shanti Yoga Training School and the teacher, Nathalie Croix. I would recommend it to anyone across the world who wants to deepen their practice on and off the mat. The best!” - Holly Hobbs RYT 500 | Founder of Morning Glory Yoga | New Orleans

“Shanti Yoga school was just what I was looking for in a 300 hour YTT. I learned so much and loved working with Nathalie. She teaches, discusses with and empowers students. Course is self paced, but also has accountability. It is well organized and expectations are clear. The instruction left me feeling confident and ready to offer more to my students.” - Amy Tenney RYT 500 | Arizona
