What our students have to say…

SPACE TO EXPLORE AND EXPERIENCE

What an intense and beautiful month I’ve had with Pure Nature on Koh Yao Noi. It truly exceeded my expectations. I was originally meant to do my training in November, but due to personal circumstances I had to reschedule one month before. The contact with Roni was very smooth and she showed so much understanding, which made it possible for me to join in February 2026, something I’m really grateful for.

Koh Yao Noi felt like a magical place. The Bhakti Hall was stunning, as well as the Yoga Island Café where we enjoyed breakfast every day. I chose Pure Nature because I was looking for a training that goes beyond just the asanas. This course offers a much deeper and more holistic understanding of yoga, seeing everything as connected, and giving you practical tools and insights that you can truly integrate into your own life and teaching.

The team created a safe and supportive container without judgment, where everyone could go through their own personal journey in their own way. That felt very special. Roni, Dimitri and Shakti are deeply passionate about what they do, and you can feel this in the quality of the training. I’ve learned so much , not only about yoga, but also about myself and so much more. The workshops and ceremonies really helped me to go deeper into my own process.

In short, I had an incredible month: I met beautiful people, learned so much, and had the space to explore and experience on many levels. And it doesn’t stop here. They provide so much extra material and lifetime access, which allows you to keep learning even after the training.

I will definitely come back for another course to deepen my journey even more. If you’re looking for a yoga teacher training that offers more than just asanas, this is truly the place 🤍 Thankyou 🙏🏼 ✨

VERY STRUCTURED AND COMPREHENSIVE

I can wholeheartedly recommend Roni and her teachings. The 200-hour training I completed there in November 2025 was deeply enriching for me, both professionally and personally. Roni provides very structured and comprehensive materials that cover theory, practice, teaching methodology, and many practical guidelines, making them a valuable reference even after the training. In every module, it was clear how much love for detail and how much experience went into designing the curriculum; everything builds on each other in a meaningful way and prepares you specifically for teaching. ‘

Beyond that Roni has a great network to involve experts for certain topics as e.g. TCM – what completes the holistic approach. The training at Pure Nature Yoga not only opens the door to teaching but also supports your own inner journey, strengthens self-confidence, and deepens your personal practice. Thank you Roni for sharing your knowledge with us and for your awesome yoga classes! For anyone looking for a solid and transformative yoga teacher training, this school is, in my view, the ideal choice – an experience for which I am very grateful.

RICH AND WELL-ROUNDED LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Hatha Yoga Teacher Training, Koh Yao, Noi, 26 February – 26 March 2026. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been guided by Roni Jones, the most knowledgeable and humble yoga teacher I have encountered in the last 30 years, alongside her dedicated and supportive team. Together, they cultivated a learning environment that felt safe, nurturing, and deeply respectful, an ideal space for both personal exploration and professional development.

What I appreciated most about this training was its truly holistic approach to yoga. While rooted in the traditional methodology of Hatha Yoga, the course thoughtfully expanded into complementary practices such as Yin and restorative yoga, myofascial release, sound healing, Ayurveda, and the philosophy of the five elements. This breadth created a rich and well-rounded learning experience that felt both grounded and expansive.

The training itself was comprehensive and thoughtfully structured. I gained a solid foundation in asana, pranayama, and meditation, while also exploring yoga philosophy, ethics, biomechanics, anatomy, psychology, and teaching methodology. It gave me a much clearer understanding of what it means to be a skilled and responsible yoga instructor. Beyond the technical knowledge, the experience invited a deeper personal awareness, helping me connect mind and body, refine the relationship between breath and movement, and become more attuned to my postural and movement patterns, edges, and inner landscape. The impact on both my physical health and mental wellbeing has been genuinely positive and life changing.

From an organisational perspective, the care and attention offered by the teaching team stood out. They were highly attuned to the group’s needs, especially during moments of fatigue or overwhelm, and consistently adapted to support individuals with injuries or different abilities. This level of attentiveness created a strong sense of trust and ease throughout the training.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from Roni, whose patient and insightful guidance helped us unpack the subtleties of each pose during asana clinics, while also encouraging deeper inquiry into yoga philosophy, psychology, and anatomy through engaging and thought-provoking lectures. This training has been a meaningful and transformative experience that I would highly recommend. Thank you, Roni & Team.

EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS IN EVERY WAY

I completed the 200 hour yoga teacher training in March 2026. I chose this program because I was looking for a training that takes a truly holistic approach to yoga and goes beyond the physical practice.

The training honestly exceeded my expectations in every way. From the very beginning there was such a warm and supportive atmosphere. The whole team created a space where everyone felt safe to learn and grow both personally and as a future yoga teacher. What I appreciated most was how the different aspects of yoga were beautifully interwoven throughout the training. Philosophy, practice, self reflection and teaching all naturally flowed into each other, and yoga was shared not just as movement, but as a way of living.

Roni is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced teacher. Her teachings are very clearly structured and she explains things in a way that makes even complex topics easy to understand. What I appreciated most was the patience and care she brings into her teaching. She always took the time to answer questions thoughtfully and in depth, and you could really feel how present and attentive she was with everyone in the group. She also brings a very thoughtful and therapeutic perspective to the practice, which adds a lot of depth to the training. At the same time, everything felt very professional and intentionally designed. You could tell that a lot of thought and care had gone into the structure of the training, the detailed manuals, and the many resources she shared with us that we can continue to use even beyond the teacher training.

The rest of the team also played a big role in creating such a supportive and caring environment. Shakti and Anja were always there with emotional support and a listening ear, Shari was incredibly helpful with practical questions and support around the asana practice, and the sound healing sessions with Dimitri were a beautiful addition that added another special dimension to the experience. The training took place on a beautiful island with a very special atmosphere, a stunning yoga shala, and a delicious breakfast buffet each morning, which made the whole experience feel even more nourishing.

For me personally, this training shifted my view of yoga in a very meaningful way. I started seeing yoga not only as a physical practice, but as a much deeper way of being. It helped me connect more deeply with myself and also gave me the confidence to begin teaching. I would truly recommend this training to anyone who wants to teach yoga, deepen their own practice, or simply connect more deeply with themselves.

A POWERFUL  JOURNEY & LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE

I completed my 200hour YTT this March 2026 with Roni and her team and I just absolutely loved it. For me it was a very powerful journey and a life changing experience. The level of knowledge and wisdom that is shared by Roni is extraordinary. I got a deep understanding of yoga, of the asanas and the art of teaching. the training is very holistic and also teaches a holistic understanding of the concept of yoga.

The team was very empathetic and helpful at all times, I felt safe and heard at every moment of this training. The contents that are taught in this training are not just randomly tossed at you, but are deeply embodied within the teachers and the entire concept is designed with so much care, wisdom and love. I especially enjoyed the morning practices with the teachers, the lectures and the asana clinics.

The overall organization was flawless and everyone was treated respectfully – we had two or three unlucky participants who hurt themselves during the course whilst riding a scooter or going snorkeling and the teachers supported them with lots of kindness and also every organizational matter that came up. I can deeply recommend this training and Roni and her team.

IN DEPTH IN PROFESSIONALISM AND IN HEART

I was one of the fortunate ones to join the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Koh Yao Noi In March 2025 with Pure Nature Yoga. This training has exceeded all expectations — in depth, in professionalism and in heart. From the very first moment, it was clear that this was going to be something special. Although the first week’s theoretical load felt a bit overwhelming at times, looking back, I can only say that every bit of it was necessary and valuable. The scope of the training was far broader than expected, and we, as participants, often expressed our gratitude for that richness.

All the information was delivered with such professionalism and depth, it truly is a treasure. For instance, I didn’t know I needed the introduction to TCM, but in hindsight, it was an essential puzzle piece in understanding the connection between body, mind, and soul.

Sweet Roni, you are an inexhaustible source of knowledge and wisdom. But beyond that, your presence, so calm, passionate, open, and deeply zen, has been an inspiration in itself. Thank you for who you are, and for sharing so much of yourself and your teachings across so many dimensions.

The supporting team — Dimitri, Shakti, and Shari — is also absolute gold. Each brought their own light and wisdom, and together you formed a complete and powerful unit. I’m deeply grateful for the sound healings, the crystal work, and the energy balls. It was all pure magic. I wish this experience upon everyone.

Highlights for me were the deep dive into the asanas, the sessions on Ayurveda, and the practices around sound healing and meditation. Meditation has always been a challenge for me, but the daily sessions helped me move forward in a way I didn’t expect. Guiding a meditation myself, and enjoying the sound of my own voice while doing it, felt like a real victory.

Equally unforgettable are the beautiful connections that were made during this journey. The friendships that blossomed, the support we gave each other, and the shared energy created something truly special — our own little yogi tribe. How wonderful it would be to meet one day again, reconnect, and continue this journey together. I’m already looking forward to the next training, retreat, or session with you all. Lots of love!

PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Pure Nature Yoga! Roni, Dmitri, and Shakti demonstrated deep knowledge of Yoga and other spiritual practices, along with a sincere care for us as students. In our asana labs, the instructors were thoughtful and thorough in examining how alignment manifests across different body types in a way that deepened my own personal practice and allowed me to recognize when and how poses can be modified for others. This was all coupled with classes and readings that showed an authentic understanding of Yoga as a spiritual practice beyond the asanas.

The resources provided to students went far beyond what I expected and showed real care for our well-being and success after graduating the program. I feel truly fortunate to have completed such a positive teacher training, and I continue to draw on the lessons and resources it provided for personal, professional, and spiritual growth.

VERY WELL CURATED

This 200hr yoga teacher training in November 2024 through Pure Nature Yoga exceeded all expectations. I recommend coming to study with Roni and Dimitri. They both have decades of experience and training and it shows. The course curriculum is very well curated and includes many extra teachings above and beyond the 200 introductory curriculum. The educational pamphlets alone are worth their weight in gold! I have over 30 years of yoga studies, and I found this training to be not only engaging but highly informative. The daily yoga practices are fun and educational. The class time is well structured with in your seat study as well as get up and observe study. The Asana labs are a great way to get hands on experience observing structural alignment and imbalances and offer a perfect learning tool for the new teacher. Roni is a very gifted teacher being both articulate and precise as well as humorous!

The vibrational healing element was a huge added facet of the training. Dimitri is super talented and it was great to get amazing sound baths and healings as part of the training. The instruction in vibration as a healing modality included sound bowls and tuning forks. I enjoyed learning more about these techniques and hope to return to attend Dimitri’s 50 hour training in the future. Overall, I am so impressed with the program at Pure Nature Yoga. I highly recommend this training to any and everyone looking to become a teacher or just broaden their yoga knowledge.

INCREDIBLE AND UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY

This YTT in March 2023 was extraordinary, very professional and absolutely recommendable to everyone who wants to learn or extend their knowledge about yoga, teaching or get an idea of holistic approach to yoga and health. The daily yoga practice and sound healings are an amazing start for your journey accompanied with lectures on Ayurveda and TCM.

All teachers have a very therapeutic approach to yoga, every student can explore and discover the best suitable options for his/her body. You will learn how to prepare and do guided meditations, you will discover more about yin/restorative yoga, mental health, yoga psychology, how to prepare a class for students having postural imbalances, injuries or mental imbalances etc. The sound healing lectures and sessions are also very special and you will go through a journey you have never thought of.

This month was such a healing journey to each of us. There was so much space for freedom and creativity, each of us brought something different to it and that was the best way to learn. Roni has a very inspiring and precise way of teaching, she is a real professional who can with ease explain even more profound topics. All teachers put so much effort to each second of this training, sharing what ever they could in this time with us and also gave us so much materials which we can always come back to. With a huge gratitude in my heart I wanna say thank you to all teachers and students for this incredible and unforgettable journey. With love Peti 🌺

PROFESSIONAL AND VALUABLE TEACHINGS

The level of professional and valuable teachings that both Roni and Dimitri brought to our group was just stunning. Even though, I have already experienced similar programs, this YTT was the best so far and would definitely recommend everyone to participate too. I know for sure, that I will continute my further yoga and holistic therapy education with pure nature yoga for sure.

NURTURING AND EMPOWERING

I recently completed a transformative 200-hour yoga teacher training at Pure Nature Yoga in July 2023, led by Roni. Roni’s expertise and passion for yoga are truly inspiring. Her deep knowledge of meditation, yoga philosophy, anatomy, and teaching techniques provided a strong foundation for my practice and teaching journey.

Roni’s teaching style is both nurturing and empowering, creating a supportive environment for growth. The serene natural surroundings at Island Yoga on Koh Yao Noi added to the experience. I highly recommend Roni and the whole Team of Pure Nature Yoga for anyone looking to deepen their yoga and meditation practice.

AN INTIMATE AND EXTREMELY POTENT EXPERIENCE

Pure Nature Yoga has exceeded all my expectations. I was looking through hundreds of yoga teacher trainings and none felt fully right until I meditated on the teachers for this training. Now I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am I trusted my intuition. Roni is the true embodiment of a yoga teacher. She is incredibly wise, knowledgeable, clear, humble, caring and compassionate, patient, and to explain it she walks her talk. It was an honor to learn from her and Pure Nature yoga. There was a seamless balance between professionalism and intimacy within this training that made the lessons extremely rich and potent. This course has brought my deeper into alignment with not only myself but all of the many reflections I see. Such an intimate and extremely potent transformative experience. If you’re looking for a sign for what path to take, this one is completely blessed.

THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE

I wanted to learn more about yoga, meditation, and sound healing. And I wanted to challenge myself, go out of my comfort zone, and experience something life-changing. I was drawn to this course in March 2023 because it was holistic based and because of the added sound healing element. My intuition just told me it was right, and it truly was the greatest experience of my life.

The people, the classes, I loved everything about it, the teachers really make it special. I’ve learned so much about myself, I tried not to go into it with too many expectations, but I did have a feeling this program would be very healing, and it was to say the least. It exceeded far beyond any expectations I had. I found strength, passion, love, peace, a group of amazing like minded people, and an experience I will forever hold dear and special to my heart.

BEYOND MY IMAGINATION OF POSSIBILITY

A FIRST RATE PROGRAMME

I have been practicing yoga casually for about 10 years and wanted to deepen my practice, including meditation, and gain tools to eventually teach. This training MORE than met my expectations. It was superb. I was looking for a peaceful, tropical location with a serious, high quality approach to yoga instruction. I had no idea that Roni would be the exceptional teacher she is, devoted to sharing her deep understanding of yoga with others. There is nothing shoddy about her approach. It is well organized, comprehensive and full of integrity. This is a first rate program, lovingly designed and executed. The lead teacher Roni deserves tremendous kudos for her professionalism and personal dedication to yoga and YTT. I highly recommend this course. You will not regret the investment. In addition the course assistant, Sigrid, brought such a radiant and open heart to the course. She is a role model for living from the heart. It was an honor to spend a month in her presence.

A GIFT FOR LIFE!

Be prepared to work on yourself, transform, there were lots of tears and laughter and the dots in life are starting to connect. Roni studied Yoga Therapy, she is a teacher who holds space for her students, imparts her knowledge from her heart with no holding back of information, which is hard to find nowadays. Her teaching is true yoga, holistic yoga, not any of the fancy stuff that is most prevalent nowadays. The line-up of teachers was top notch, knowledgeable and competent, open-minded with a holistic approach to teaching and healing. Four guest teachers including an assistant/student support: Anatomy, TCM and Nutrition, Ayurveda and Sanskrit. The manuals are the most comprehensive I have ever received in a training. This course helped me grow on my path, gave me the tools to establish and deepen my own practice and equipped me with an in-depth knowledge on how to create sequences for a variety of clients and to go out and teach Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga. I highly recommend this course! It was the perfect gift to myself, a gift for life! 

FULLY-ROUNDED HOLISTIC PROGRAMME

This program surpassed my expectations. A beyond excellent environment of education and empowerment at this Teacher Training. The level of commitment, professionalism, and passion put into making this program was undeniably present throughout the entirety of the training. The level of instruction was intense, but also able to be understood clearly, as each instructor took the necessary moments to explain a topic further in depth if need be. The “extras” that were added during this program made this a fully-rounded holistic programme. I will forever be grateful for the personal development and the level of knowledge and confidence gained.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

I was a 200hr RYT, teaching regularly about 20 plus hours per week, and I still registered for Pure Nature Yoga’s 200hr TTC last year. Why? Not only could I not find a 500hr TTC that spoke to me, but more importantly, I couldn’t find ANY TTC that underscored what Roni and Pure Nature Yoga was offering. What I learned in my first TTC was helpful and it set me off on my path. I had nothing to compare it to at the time and I’m not dismissing my teachers then or what they offered. However, after taking the training with Roni and PNY, I’m blown away by the comparison. Roni is an extraordinary teacher with golden integrity and palpable authenticity who has clearly poured her heart and soul into the design and creation of this course. If you decide to do this training, you may look at yoga differently. You will definitely look at yourself differently which will ultimately impact your teaching and how you show up in the world. Undoubtedly you will walk away with immense and valuable knowledge to help launch you into your teaching career or just deepen your own practice, but this training also invites you onto a path of self-inquiry and transformation. Roni and her team are absolutely incredible. And it’s no wonder that the training attracted like-minded, deeply kind, sweetly supportive, soulful beings who I spent a month learning, absorbing, sharing, laughing, crying and celebrating with on a beautiful little island in Thailand. You are worthy of this training!!

THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED

This course was very comprehensive and well planned. I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of information, the detailed instruction, the materials and the presenters. Roni Miteff is a gifted and articulate teacher in every sense of the word “teacher”. She models the essence of true yoga practice with passion and real expertise. She creates an environment for her students to grow and develop their own awareness, through meditation, healing with sound and vibration, breath work, holistic approaches to diet and health, energy systems of the body and more! This is so much more than just a yoga teacher training! It was a life-changing and spiritual experience that I will never forget. I am so grateful for all the work, passion, and love, that she put into this program and the materials she provided! I recommend this training for anyone that wants to expand their thinking and open to personal growth, even if you aren’t thinking you want to become a yoga instructor!

PEACE OF MIND

As a Pilates Instructor I understand anatomically how differences in the body and imbalances in the body are very different to different people and different age groups. Actually when you go back to the foundation of yoga, yoga was created for the individual, not for groups, so really you need to adapt the yoga to the person, not the person to yoga. There’s so many things I got from this training really. I have to stay on a more personal level, much more peace of mind, a sense of letting go, a sense of trust. Trust that I know I made the right decision to come here. Also just lightness and clarity of mind, something that I was actually looking for when I first came here, so. thank you.

HIGH QUALITY TRAINING IN A FANTASTIC SETTING

I felt the deep desire to become a yoga teacher and to understand yoga as a connection between body, mind and breath. For me yoga is not about the sporty aspect, it is about union and love. So I was deeply touched when I found the homepage of Pure Nature Yoga and Roni’s Yoga Teacher Training. The contact in advance and the tasks before the start of the training gave me good new impulses and a pleasant feeling. The YTT deepened these feelings and gave me new insights and skills in so many dimensions. I particularly liked the connection of Yoga & Sound. A lot of emphasis was placed on theoretical knowledge such as yoga philosophy, TCM and Ayurveda. A great added value for me. The instructions for the precise physical alignment of the asana also enriched me. In every class that I am now allowed to teach as a Yoga teacher, I remember Roni’s words and explanations. So valuable. Thank you Roni for giving me the opportunity to feel where I belong and what my heart is beating for. You have enabled me to move my life in the direction of my heart. I recommend the YTT at Pure Nature Yoga to everyone who sees yoga as attitude towards life and wants to enjoy high-quality training in a fantastic setting. Koh Yao Noi offers a wonderful landscape every day and also has some very delicious cafes and restaurants. I’ll be back.

EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS

It really exceeded my expectations! All of the teachers were incredible and I really feel like I learned a lot and went to depths that I’m really happy about, I really loved it. I think I received a kind of a sense of confidence in myself, in my voice. Understanding how my body works and why certain things are the way it is or different emotions I’m feeling. So I feel a confidence inside of myself and also that I can go out and help other people, and maybe small changes that they can do to improve emotionally, physically, spiritually.

EDUCATION, EMPOWERMENT & TRANSFORMATION

It was an intense month full of education, empowerment and transformation. I am still looking for words to describe the gratitude in my heart. They created a perfect structured, well prepared training and papers. Precise lectures and life changing classes prepared me for going out there to teach. But also improved my personal practices and changed the way I deal with life and how I treat my body. When you look for “pure yoga” and a month full of learning, improving and growing your personality and your own way of teaching yoga – you should go! The quality of the YTT is hard to find anywhere else.

IT WAS AMAZING

I attended the August 2019 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and it was amazing. I normally wouldn’t be looking at Thailand to learn yoga but this is definitely the traditional breath-centred style, which is the only type I was really interested in. So I was glad I found just what I was looking for. Island Yoga — the school that hosts — is a perfect backdrop for the program and Koh Yao Noi is an idyllic setting. Roni Miteff — the lead instructor — is the real deal. She’s an extremely experienced instructor in the classroom and offers a great deal of knowledge. The training is very intense but well-paced and is completely packed with very organized classes and workshops ranging from Anatomy and Sound Healing, to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda. I loved the time there and couldn’t recommend a better place to train!

THE START OF MY NEW BEGINNING

I was attracted to this YTT and followed my intuition, and this was probably the best choice I could make. We had classes given by very experienced teachers and we covered a rich variety of subjects to understand the whole meaning of Yoga. The place of the training was magic: wooden bungalows in Nature environment, facing the Ocean. The extra events (Sound Baths, Full Moon Ceremonies, Mantra evening…) made this experience unique. It is a training that can change your life. Not only by learning how to be a great yoga instructor but also by learning more about yourself and your true nature. That’s why after this wonderful experience I can say that this is just the start of my new beginning.

CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER

This training attracted me because of its holistic nature and I wasn’t disappointed. Of course we focused on Hatha Yoga, but we also had teachers who taught us about Traditional Chinese Medicine & Yin Yoga, Anatomy taught by a highly qualified Osteopath, Ayurveda, Restorative Yoga, Sound Healing, and Nutrition. Throughout the training I had a personal transformation, as did most of the others in our group. This training will change your life forever and I thank Roni from the bottom of my heart.

A UNIQUE TRAINING

I thoroughly enjoyed the 200 hour Holistic Hatha Yoga & Sound Healing Teacher Training! A lovely combination of classical Hatha Yoga, philosophy, holistic healing modalities and therapies, including Restorative Yoga, Yin, Yoga Therapy, Sound Healing and more. This truly is a unique training and much needed at this day in age. The teachers and teachings had a wonderful variety of content, were really interesting and delivered from the heart. I would highly recommend this course if you are looking for your first YTT, to teach Hatha Yoga and/or for personal development.

MIND-BLOWING, CHANGING EXPERIENCE

I attended the 200h YTT and I couldn’t have asked for more. Roni put her heart and soul into this training and you can feel it through every practice, theory module and ritual. it is very well thought out, pulling in many different aspects making it an ultimate holistic training, where the core of Yoga is taught and not just what asanas could or ‘should’ look like. I gained knowledge about my body, what my body is capable of and what it isn’t capable of. I learned where my boundaries are, physically, emotionally, and how to deal with them. I learned not to judge them. It was a mind-blowing, changing experience.

A VERY DEEP PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION

The course exceeded my expectations, the support we received was incredible! It wasn’t just a Yoga Teacher Training course, it was also a very deep personal transformation, and I met some amazing people. I learned far more than I ever expected I could have possibly done. I did a Yoga Teacher Training Course seven years ago but I never felt entirely confident to teach after doing the course. So, when I found this training and I saw the syllabus and realized how comprehensive it was, I knew it was what I really needed to fill in the gaps from what was missing before..

The course also incorporated New Moon and Full Moon Ceremonies which incorporated sound baths, soul song and drumming, and the shifts that I found happened after those ceremonies were quite profound. I’ve never experienced anything like that before. I honestly couldn’t recommend it high enough. If anyone is looking to do a Yoga Teacher Training then 100% this is it! Roni’s and Dimitri’s knowledge is just vast, you will learn so much. I personally don’t know if you could find a better teacher.

TRANSFORMATIONAL TRAINING

If you are looking for a holistic and transformational training, then this is the one 💖💖💖 It’s hard to describe in a few words how amazing and life changing this training was. The content is just incredible. I loved how it was built up slowly, how we learned to really listen to our body and using blocks and props. This course really teaches you that yoga is for everybody and how to adapt the asanas accordingly to your body’s needs. We had no choice then to truly go inward and not only learn what Yoga is, but experience it. My biggest gratitude goes to Roni for making this happen and holding the space for us so beautifully. As I said it goes beyond words. Thank you.

OPENED MY MIND

I felt we are in the environment of growth and we felt safe to grow and absorb all the knowledge that was given to us. I particularly liked the lectures on the female special population and how we can look after our own personal health and how we can adapt asanas and postures and different breathing techniques to link in with our womanly cycle. I felt that it connected something in me. It opened my mind to the whole origins of yoga and what the real philosophy of it is, and it is connecting our mind, our body and breath in that unity, it’s not just about asana.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE

It has been the most beautiful, loving, deep and just wonderful experience of my life. It has just been phenomenal the way it was structured, what was given, the thought, the precision that went into it, the intention. Their method of teaching is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Coming to Pure Nature Yoga the level of love, of nurture, level of giving, of not just a set and practice but their whole life was just incomprehensible. I can’t put this whole experience into words what we have been given.

Any person that wants to truly go within, to truly come back to themselves, whether it be a self-journey or whether it be to come back to others, and to really open and experience something that will genuinely just elevate your life come to Pure Nature Yoga they are just phenomenal!

THE GREATEST GIFT I COULD HAVE EVER RECEIVED!

It’s has been the greatest gift I could have ever received! I learned above and beyond what I thought I could have learned in this teacher training. So much more in depth, but still always being reminded that yoga is for everybody and that it is so much more than just your asanas and breath work, it’s everything, it’s off the mat and on the mat. I learned about Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic practices and all these elements to be able to take into my practice and into my teaching.

The Full Moon Ceremony was probably one of the most transformative parts of the month long experience. They really created a space for us to transform and to really love ourselves where we are at, and to accept and to grow. It just spoke a million words because it was huge for all of us and really created a beautiful dynamic for each individual to be free and to learn, just so much love and detail, so beautiful. I personally don’t think there could be another training that could compare, because of how much more we got than a just a typical training. It was just so empowering and I believe that this training is above and beyond any other training you’ll find.

AN INCREDIBLY STRONG AND DEEP SELF-STUDY

It was mind blowing, how much they thought this out and put into this programme, I’m in awe of it! I’ve learned just so much. I feel so extremely blessed because every little thing that was put together in this programme was so much of what I wanted to learn and wanted to study as a holistic practitioner. I learned the proper way to hold my asanas while breathing, and to let go of a lot of things during the ceremonies. I learned more about myself, this has been an incredibly strong and deep self-study.

This group of people that came to do this training and the support, and how we have helped each other and grown so close, it’s like we’ve known each other for so long. I’m very grateful to have had this opportunity, especially with Pure Nature Yoga, it was just so perfect and I’m super excited to start my own career and study further with yoga.

SUCH A PROFOUND DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF YOGA

This training is such a profound and deep understanding of yoga in a very classical way, in a very philosophical way. Deeply rooted in Indian wisdom and Indian tradition. They live what they preach and it makes a very big difference. It’s definitely not one of those commercial courses that bakes the new yoga teachers every month. This is something that they created within their hearts, with their deepest understanding of their experience they wanted to share with other people.

It’s really the motto of the training, embodiment and empowerment, and this is exactly what happened to all of us during this training. This combination of body, mind and breath that is like a thread through all the practice is just amazing. This training also combines the sound elements, sound healing, and we got unbelievable information about sound that I would never have found anywhere else. I would strongly recommend this training for everyone who wants to really deepen their understanding of yoga, who wants to participate in something serious and not just a fancy thing like a fashionable yoga training.

EMPOWERED ME TO BE MORE CONFIDENT

Roni’s approach really helped me not just understand how my body works, but also that to see other people as individuals and to approach them differently. What is the best way to use asanas, but also to respect if they have some pain, injuries or other limitations. I had the opportunity to meet all these amazing, beautiful and strong women. That not only helped me to find this confidence inside myself, but also showed me that all of us at the end should stick to authenticity that each of us carries. They gave me the space where I can also be open, and show my weaknesses and not be judged. The biggest thing I take out of this program is how much more confident I am, the way this program actually empowered me to be more confident.

YOGA IS FOR EVERYONE

We learned how yoga can heal in a way or how you can practice yoga when you have certain injuries, or even for certain kind of people. We really saw how to be flexible with the postures and how you can actually change the posture so you feel the benefits more for you.  Also we learn how to teach these people who have back pain, knee pain, anxiety, or for older people. You can really see yoga is for everyone and we learned how to adapt everything.

When I came here, I didn’t really want to be a yoga teacher and we had to teach in the end of the month. So that was a big challenge for me, because teaching people – I never did it, I felt really anxious. At the end with all the support, it was just do it for yourself and find relying on your personality and what you are good at. You could actually bring your own “scent”, if I can say, to your practice and your teaching. So when I did it, and I saw I can do it, I was really proud of myself. And I thought “Wow, maybe I want to become a teacher”. So it gave me a lot of confidence, and I am really happy about it.

I FEEL EMPOWERED

I loved the training because it was so pure. I feel empowered, more centered within and more grounded. It was challenging and at the same time very nourishing. The teachers were great, they really found the way to explain everything and to incorporate all the knowledge that they wanted to share into this intense program. Everything was very well thought through and I loved it, it was beautiful. The asana clinics were very helpful to understand how the body works. It really helped me realise that asanas are not about the beauty of the pose, but about the functionality. I saw that we all had different types of body, that we all start from a different level and, at the end everyone progresses and that is beautiful. So it taught me to see my body and the bodies of other people from the perspective of compassion.

BEYOND ANY OF MY EXPECTATIONS!

I was introduced into Yoga three years ago on Koh Phangan and where I met Roni for the first time, and this is where I fell in love with her way of teaching, their way of seeing and approaching yoga. The training was beyond any of my expectations! Most of all I love their holistic approach, that yoga is so much more than just a physical practice. Yoga is for everybody, you don’t have to adapt into a yoga posture, a yoga posture has to be suitable for the person, and this was a whole new world opening up for me.

I loved integrating sound into our teachings, and I’m so grateful that they have shared their huge knowledge and wisdom in such a loving and kind way, supporting me on my path. I so appreciate being on this course. I cannot recommend this course highly enough, for everybody who wants to know more and dive deeper, have a different way. So much gratitude and love to Roni and Dimitri.

WORTH EVERY MINUTE!

Best gift I gave myself, I’ve walked away with incredible life skills – loved the structure of the course combined with Sound healing. I found the teachers incredibly passionate, knowledgeable and experienced. I felt that they just gave us a great foundation to build on with Hatha Yoga and how you can integrate sound into the classes. The island is perfect for immersing yourself in the course, as there’s very little tourists there, just Pure Nature. They organised Sounds Baths, Full Moon Ceremonies, on top of all the Yoga teachings. Highly recommend this Hatha Yoga and Vibrational Therapy course, even though it was intense – worth every minute!

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE

The course was an amazing experience that gave me more than I could expect from a YTT. We learned how to combine the basis of Sound Healing with Yoga and also they taught us how to apply this lifestyle to our daily habits. The teachers were always very professional and I will study with Pure Nature Yoga in next trainings. During this time I understood how to believe in Yoga as a way of life. It’s a way to find your happiness and being calm, enjoying the life in a different way.
