“I can’t believe the transformation in myself from taking Islena’s 200 hour teacher training. With her support and encouragement I have overcome my fears of public speaking.

I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to become a Yoga teacher or deepen their own practice. Thank you for an amazing experience!”

“I truly loved every minute of my yoga teacher training with Islena. She is a knowledgeable, fun and inspiring teacher. She has a way of making her classes extra special, as well as making them relevant to life. She’s very in tune and plays well off her student’s personalities to make the training personal. She’s also open to questions, discussions and anything extra her students brought into class. I loved her special exercises that bring different “tools” into becoming a teacher besides just the physical aspect of the asanas. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to become a Yoga teacher and would myself love to take more classes and workshops she may put on in the future.”

“I have had the great fortune of being taught by Islena and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her ability to teach. She has a beautiful way of incorporating ‘real life’ concepts and ideas into her classes to help cope with the natural stresses we all face day to day. Her passion is contagious and her kind heart inspires anyone who has the desire to cultivate self-awareness, healing, clarity, and an overall lightness to life. I would highly recommend taking any workshops, trainings, or classes with her. We can all learn and benefit from her vast knowledge, experience and wisdom. ”

“I took Islena’s work-shop “Teaching Prenatal Yoga Safely” and found it very informative. It made me feel very confident to teach a pre-natal class. Islena has a calming aura about her that makes it all more enjoyable, and she also give out lots of helpful hand-outs as well as lesson plans. I would highly recommend Islena’s classes because of her extensive knowledge.”
