Testamonials:
The 200 teacher training program at Devanadi surpassed my expectations. I loved Tanya's combined, comprehensive approach - physical practice, philosophy, energy work. Also, the community of teachers and students at the studio is amazing. This is more than a teacher training program - this is a group of people who are committed to personal growth, service, and positive community change. ~Nyssa Brown, Mpls 2009 graduate

I feel like I got a lifetime worth of yoga knowledge in nine months. Tanya really knows her stuff and makes the learning environment, safe, fun and worth every penny!! ~Maria Bosak, Fargo 2010 graduate

I am SOOO head over heals in love with Tuesdays. I can begin to tell you who full and alive I am when I leave on Tuesdays. I have told 3 students this week "Take your training with Tanya"! ~Sarah, 2011 graduate

Thank you again for a great training weekend. I am really loving it and you are a great teacher! Thank you very much... ~ Tasha Marvin, 2011 graduate

Thank you for an amazing weekend. What I particularly appreciated were your comments addressing: why are we doing all this and where are we pointing towards? It is so easy for me to get lost in the
individual pieces floating around and to know that it is all helping - with our practice at home - to get us in a better realm of thinking and living was a needed boost. You are so full of knowledge and clearly you live it as well. Thank you. ~Anonymous

Silke is a dynamic and fun teacher in a subject that could be really deadly. What a wonderful teacher to have in your program. I simply feel fortunate to be part of all this. ~Anonymous
