I cannot say enough about the teacher training program at YDC. The program offers vast knowledge of yoga philosophy, history, and practice, and has opened my eyes and heart to the many dimensions of yoga. It has helped me to expand my conscious awareness, and to deepen my spiritual and physical practice. Incorporating the knowledge into my practice both on and off the mat, I have been able to approach people and situations in my life with more grace, compassion, and understanding. The teachers were brilliant and inspiring, and my classmates were beautiful spirits that I feel blessed to have as friends  Each of these people has touched my life in a unique, astounding, and invaluable way. I would not trade this experience for anything. For those with a spiritual or existential question in his/her heart, know that this program will set you on the right path to answer it.~Kristen Curley

The Yoga Darshana Center has help change my life forever in ways that I never thought imaginable. With a compassionate and professional style for instruction, my experience was far more than just a certification. While learning how to perfect the form of each asana was my primary goal, I walked away with so much more. From the history of yoga to the indescribable sense of understanding on the inside. I began to see things from another perspective while accepting life in the present moment. The instructors at YDC were among the most compassionate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff that I have seen. Leaving the center upon graduation not only left me with a sense of peace and mindfulness but with an unbeatable education and life long relationships with amazing people who have touched my soul. ~Christina Antonetti. 

Thank you to all the teachers at YDC for the wonderful teacher training program. I can honestly say that taking the 200hr training is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I grew so much in those 4 months and I continue to each and every day. The other students in my class have become like family. Thank you for all the knowledge and guidance you have given me. Now I am able to take that knowledge and share it with others. I am forever grateful.~Tania

Yoga Darshana’s teacher training program had a very positive effect on my life. It helped with a lot of issues that I was going through and I have changed for the better. My view of the world is now completely different from when I first started. Just being at the center allowed me to heal and I learned many ways of healing myself. I am healthier, stronger and wiser after completing the program. For the first time, I felt a sense of community, acceptance and peace. Yoga Darshana Center gave me a powerful gift, and I will never forget the four months I was training there. I am much more effective in circumstances and for this I am extremely grateful.  Each moment is important, each moment is an observance, and each moment contains precious knowledge. This program was truly worth every penny I am happy to have been a part of it. Thank you YDC. ~Liz
