Shanti Yoga School Testimonials

“Shanti Yoga Training School has been such a blessing to my life and has guided me on a path to much growth as an educator as well as a human being. Natalie Croix creates a wonderfully personalized experience and offers priceless methods and tools to open the mind and body in preparation for the sharing of the gift of a healthy yoga practice.” - Andre Wilson RYT 200 | LA

“I loved taking my teacher training with Nathalie Croix. She is very knowledgeable, experienced, and could answer all of my questions. She is really friendly and nice too. You can tell just by being around her that she has good energy. I enjoyed hearing her stories about studying in India and she did a really good job teaching us about Indian culture and Sanskrit. I also liked how she taught us about other types of yoga besides vinyasa. She was able to teach us about restorative, prenatal, and ashtanga. It was from this that I learned that I especially love restorative yoga . After teacher training with her, I felt ready to teach yoga and I immediately found teaching jobs at 2 studios. I am so glad that I picked her to train under.” - Rachel Harrer RYT 200 | LA

“It has been a gift to study with Nathalie and complete both the 200hr and 300hr trainings with her. She is kind, gentle, straightforward, and always ready to share her knowledge.” - Raegan Robinson RYT 500, New Orleans

“ I initially went into my 200 Hour Yoga Teaching Training at Shanti Yoga Shala knowing I wanted to deepen my practice but not really knowing what to expect from the program. Looking back, I am so grateful that I took the leap of faith and decided to enroll. Taking this course has immensely enhanced and transformed my life in ways that it's hard to put into words. What I can say is that I approach my thoughts, feelings, experiences, community and the planet with a greater sense of love each and everyday. I feel that I am on a journey of growth and realization of my most authentic Self. Where I am today is a place I've gotten to through my own practice, the guidance of my yoga teacher Nathalie Croix and the support of my fellow teacher training participants.” - Joann Do RYT 500 | California

“ I am so glad that I chose to complete my 200 hour teacher training at Shanti Yoga Shala with Nathalie Croix. The practice of yoga is always evolving for each of us. I am so grateful that Nathalie shared her own evolution with us. I feel that I am a part of a true yoga lineage.” - Lorraine Fauve RYT 200 | North Carolina

“The training was so great because it was extremely complete. There was a perfect balance between asana & philosophy and it provided great information on what it's like to be a yoga teacher in the real world. I felt very prepared thanks to all the information and support provided. Also, the environment in the shala is wonderful and Nathalie gives her 110% to this training and her students. I feel blessed to have been part of this training.” - Aurora Brenes RYT 200 | Panama
