took 200H Ashtanga teacher training. I did not realise until I finished their course, how high their teacher training standard was. You will learn more than the requirement and all what you learn will be asset for your future in many aspects. Not only they are very knowledgeable but they try to teach all what they can with heart. They will not miss out any small details and so you will learn all properly. This will help your future self... read more practice too. Also they guide us to push our boundary with the respect for individual capability. You feel their energy and automatically you try to reach your limit so that you will not miss out anything. They are strict but warm. They are truly delegated and genuine. You will not get the same quality teaching from the business style teacher training. If you stick with Ashtanga, here is the right place. They do in very traditional and proper way, I get feeling it is more than or as much as in India. Additionally you will also learn Pranayama and Kriya, not only guidance or see what it is. Both are difficult to master in the short time, but they will show and guide as much as possible where we can reach too. They check our movement one by one as well. Full of energy and power. The local practioners are also very welcoming and helpful. Sofya makes very tasty but healthy snack. And even not scheduled day, they offered to show us cooking so that we can improve our diet and lifestyle after the course. And at the end of course, they make sure we can come back any time and support us even after our departure. Thank you for Rich and Sofya. Visited August 2016 read less

Преподователи от Бога! Где-то три с половиной года назад когда в моей жизни появилась чёрная полоса не было ни сил ни стимула к жизни, я постоянно задавалась вопросами зачем я живу зачем я пришла в этот мир.... как не странно Бог меня услышал и направил меня! Я начала посяшать Йога занятия но первое время не очень пошло думала это не для меня. В один прекрасный день я зашла на класс Аштанга виньясы йоги с Ричом! После полтора часового динамического занятия мы все легли... read more на шавасану. До сих пор помню какая сильная энергетика была это энергия шла от этого прекрасного преподавателя Рича которую он отдал нам за это время!!! Лежа в шавасане я все решила что это мой путь и я пойду этим путём ! С каждым занятием я чувствовала как меняеться мое тело мой ум, и сколько стараний идёт от моих преподавателей. За эти годы сколько сил они вложили в меня! Для меня Рич и София преподаватели от Бога, судьба их мне подарила. Как они старательно работают с каждым студентом, каждый проведённый класс ими как последний, они до последнего вкладываются. Их цел не просто давать класс а помогать отдавать больше с каждым разом. Благодаря им за эти годы я развивалась как физически так и духовно!Мои преподаватели я вам от души благодарна! read less

This is a long review but the main point is TAYSP provides experienced caring programs that produce results and I would highly recommend them. Their programs are not for someone looking for a fun spa experience but for those serious about changing their lives and getting results. That being said I did meet some amazing people and have an amazing time that changed my life forever. I visited TAYSP for a two month customized program from July 29th- September 27th... read more and it is a program that has changed my life. During the program I lost a total of 16kg, built muscle, improved flexibility and balance. I also lost cravings for meat and processed food in addition to being taken off many medications for asthma and pain. Sophia and Rich are a credit to my success. They were dedicated, passionate and strict helping to push me past my limits. Every level of the program was well thought out and tailored to my individual needs. Traditional Ashtanga Yoga is for people who are serious about changing their lives. I wont sugar coat it, the programs are difficult and sometimes I didnt understand why they asked me to do certain things. In the end I saw that there was a purpose for everything they asked me to do, my health and safety were their greatest concern. They never asked me to do anything beyond my capabilities although they did push me outside of my comfort zone. Some of the procedures were foreign to me like the cleansing routines but I grew to trust that they knew exactly what they were doing to help me reach my goals. I have never met two more caring dedicated individuals, and the they well exceeded my expectations. As yoga instructors they are both knowledgeable and experienced. They knew exactly how to adjust my body to the right positions and provide modifications for postures I couldn't do. They know their students on a personal level and I found that it helped them provide the best instruction. I highly recommend them for anyone interested in yoga at any level.

Great teachers Моё знакомство с йогой произошло не так давно и именно здесь. И могу сказать, что за недолгое время это знакомство переросло сначала в симпатию, а теперь и любовь к йоге) Конечно, это произошло благодаря нашим внимательным и профессиональным инструкторам, которым не все равно, как проходит ваша практика, как вы стоите в асане, как вы себя при этом чувствуете. Они индивидуально подходят к каждому занимающемуся, всегда отмечают каждую твою маленькую победу над собой и стимулируют к новым достижениям. Отличный уютный зал... read more со свежим ремонтом и очень дружественной атмосферой. Хожу на занятия с удовольствием и большой благодарностью, взамен получаю прекрасное самочувствие, заряд бодрости и энергии. Рич, София, спасибо Вам за то, что любите свою работу. Удачи и процветания! read less

“AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! Hard work and a lot of learning!!” I did for one month (february/2017) the TCC course on TAYSP! It was a fantastic experience. Sofia and Rich are extremely good professionals, and their dedication, skills, techniques, personalities and knowledge are complementary and super high level. The course was a selection of the most important and relevant things that a teacher need to know, giving an extraordinary base and confidence for continue our yoga path. I highly recommend this shala... read more for anyone that deeply want to learn and improve their techniques. Hard work and a lot of learning! Visited February 2017 read less
