Teacher Testimonials:

I already had eleven years of practice and the RYT 200 yoga teacher training behind me when I started the RYT 500 program at Yoga & Meditation Center. After only a few classes I knew this would be the place to deepen my first training. I am discovering how I can move my entire body in all directions, becoming more free and happy. After a few weeks I could observe that my sleep was better. I have become more efficient in my daily life. All I already knew suddenly made sense! Shashi explains Life. How we can be a part of it instead of letting it pass by. The training is moving us from the toes to head, it transforms us. We let go of fear, understand the ego, become confident to discover who we are and what we want. I am grateful to be part of the training.

The teacher program at Yoga and Meditation Center is unique. This is a program that not only helps you become a yoga teacher, but also improves your daily life. To be a student in this program is a privilege and although is hard work, will bring much health and happiness to all those it touches. This program has truly benefited my life.

- Sherry Kari, CNM, RN RYT-200
After months of searching for the right yoga teacher I met Shashi Pottathil. He had everything I wanted in a yoga teacher. Not only the style of yoga but also the science behind yoga and his approach to philosophy. The long commute is worth it. I drove over an hour each way.

- April Kochur RYT-200
I think Shashi has the most training and experience. With over 40 years of experience and also being raised in a yoga family. His heart is fully into yoga. He wholeheartedly believes in what he is teaching. He tells you this is something you need to do everyday, particularly first thing in the morning. Within a short time you believe what he is telling you. This is something you will do for the rest of your life. Your body doesn't know what profession you are in and that you are busy. You just need to do it. You will progress if you do it everyday with your mind fully present in the moment.

– Sandra Venable RYT-200
