What Students have to Say
I want to thank Marianne, Mokshapriya, Dr. Andujar and
everyone else involved with our training over these past 4 months.
I received an education experience that I would not have been able to receive
anywhere else.
Marianne's years of experience and knowledge of asana is phenomenal. She
is extremely perceptive and intuitive and her adjustments are amazing.
Similarly, I don't believe I could have had a better teacher of philosophy,
pranayama, meditation, chakras, mudras, kriyas, etc... than Mokshapriya.
She not only teaches it but she lives it.
And of course, who better to teach anatomy than an actual medical doctor.
Thanks to Dr. Andujar and his faithful assistant "Betty" (the
skeleton).
Before I joined, I asked 3 of your former students if they would recommend
taking your teacher training program and all 3 gave me a very enthusiastic
"YES!". All 3 are excellent teachers with whom I have great respect.
I wanted an intense and authentic yogic experience and that is exactly what
I received.
I plan on taking the 500 hour class to continue learning and growing.
Thank You! Ray 2006
