What an amazing experience, the course was very well structured, with exceptional teachers, I would like to do more for sure!!!

Amazing first 200 Hour Training with Soma!! I knew Soma as the school for me when I found them online, but the experience far exceeded my expectations. Instruction was delivered with such authenticity and a huge breadth of knowledge, making it modern, relevant, and digestible. The adaptability of teaching, meeting the class where they are and allowing time for growth, was truly exceptional. So grateful to Liz and Peggy to have been able to begin my "true" study of yoga with Soma. I look forward to more opportunities to learn through the amazing programs you have created.

Words will never do justice in describing the phenomenal experience I had as a student in Soma Yoga Institute's Costa Rica RYT-200 Training Program. This experience opened the door to new paths and options in yoga for me. It has also added great insight and value to my continued journey in self-discovery and building healthy relationships with myself and others. The program was well-rounded, thoughtful, and insightful. It introduced me to areas of yoga that I was unfamiliar with and that I thoroughly enjoyed learning about. The training also provided extensive knowledge and experience in areas I was already interested in, such as trauma-informed practices, alignment, therapeutics, and somatic. Peggy and Liz are top-notch teachers, and their genuineness shines through. My confidence in things I've always enjoyed but never externally pursued is through the roof. I'm excited to see what happens next.

"Learning yoga through a therapeutic lense has deepened my understanding of yoga on all levels. Every detail of the training was programmed with thoughtful intention. Liz and Jess are amazing and beautiful people that balance each other so well!! They made us all feel so empowered and accepted on every level. I feel equipped and confident to go and share the gifts of yoga with others. This experience has deepened my own practice and enriched my life in many ways. It has helped me develop more self-love, confidence, and a deeper realization of my true self. The study of alignment has made such a difference in how my body feels as I practice. I also loved learning about yoga philosophy, pranayama, different mudras, and the chanting was so lovely! I am so very grateful for this experience, and my knowledge of yoga has expanded more than I could have imagined. I am excited for this lifelong journey of yoga ahead of me." - Jamie

It was a very well-paced learning experience! They balanced practice, learning and studying in a beautiful setting. Liz and Jess, the instructors, were a perfect blend so that we learned from two different styles and perspectives of yoga practice and instruction. They created a safe space for learning and self exploration.

I really enjoyed the complementary vibes of the teachers, Liz and Jess. The teaching approach made me feel that I understand and process it without having to study extra. The time schedule was smooth with ritual in the morning with meditation and a nighttime philosophy. Along the way, this program helped me grow in self-confidence and understand that everything is already inside me. I learned about the Yoga Sutra's philosophy and will probably go on reading it as well as the Bhagavad Gita. I like the alignment, the anatomy, and the sequencing. I love the ways of teaching made me realize how alignments and foundation is the beginning of everything. This training is amazing. It’s not only about becoming a yoga teacher, but also being just me. I am learning about myself and see the beauty of each person around me. Yes, I would definitely do another course with Soma Yoga Institute.

I recently completed the 200-hour yoga teacher training with Soma Yoga Institute in Costa Rica, and the experience was amazing. The program was unique as it went beyond the traditional scope of yoga, incorporating a deep understanding of therapeutic applications. This is definitely what attracted me to take my training through them. The depth of knowledge both Liz and Molly demonstrated, their inspiring teaching styles along with their personalized attention and patience clearly portray they are experts in their fields. They created an encouraging and supportive environment, where I felt safe to explore both my physical practice and inner work. The training was set out in such a way that was easy to understand and apply, both in the philosophy of yoga and in the practice of yoga. The class size was perfect and allowed for meaningful connections with both instructors and with the wonderful group of yogi-peers. We were encouraged to share our experiences, challenges, and progress in a safe and nurturing environment. After completing the training, I am confident I will continue to develop my own unique strengths as a teacher and absolutely cannot wait to teach! I have grown not only as a yoga practitioner but definitely as a person. This program is both exceptional and invaluable! I can’t recommend Soma Yoga Institute enough!

This entire training was like a piece of beautiful music; orchestrated smoothly, one teacher at a time shining brightly with her particular passion, yet all held together under the purpose of Yoga. Magically bringing each of us closer to our own essence. These teachers are in tune, in sync, well practiced, and deliver an inspiring yoga teacher training.
