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!

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 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
Отличная школа Когда мы планировали поездку на Пхукет, я искала, где преподают аштангу. Нашла эту школу в интернете, на сайте было актуальное расписание. Мне очень понравились классы, внимательный преподаватель, интенсивные правки, не даёт филонить и ныть. Говорят на русском и английском, так что языкового барьера не было. Суперполезный опыт, когда попадаешь к новому преподавателю, всегда узнаешь что-то новое дл... read moreКогда мы планировали поездку на Пхукет, я искала, где преподают аштангу.

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 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
Подготовка учителей Аштанги Программа была очень профессиональной и информативной. Инструкторы добры и увлечены тем, что они делают. Я проводил 200-часовой 28-дневный тренинг для учителей, но там были другие люди, которые проходили разные курсы, такие как программы детоксикации. Все были очень напряженными и сложными, но определенно стоили того!

I decided to go to a yoga retreat with the hopes it would center me, help me move forward and find some peace. I did some research and picked TAYSP. The reviews were very promising, the cost was reasonable and it was located in the tropics. Couldn’t ask for more ……. and I wasn’t disappointed. In fact the experience went way beyond my expectation (which is saying a lot since I was thinking I was expecting too much and I knew nothing about Ashtanga yoga).
Rich and Sofya are two wonderful human beings. I feel they are very caring and generous with their time and attention. They want the best from and for their students, including learning more than you can imagine. I took the intensive program for 3 weeks, which included challenging the body, mind and spirit. It was a life changing experience. I feel I came out stronger in every possible way. My daily intention was to find peace and I feel my times of peace grew each day. There was so much to learn with little time to listen to the negative chatter in my mind.
I had personal challenges that slowed my progression, but what I gained even with those challenges, wow! My thanks go to everyone in the Shala with special thanks to Rich and Sofya. Since leaving the retreat I’ve been practicing Ashtanga asana on my own and I can hear both of them in my mind (e.g., “open up your chest”, “back straight” “chin down”, “foot flexed”), imagine feeling the adjustments, or imagine seeing their gestures to get me to do the postures correctly. Always brings a smile as I make the appropriate corrections. I am also practicing the other forms of Ashtanga; including, pranayama (my favorite), meditation, and some Kriya. What wonderful gifts they’ve given. They are wonderful teachers. I feel they taught me well! May I continue practicing these gifts through my lifetime. read less
