"Life changing"
It’s hard to put in words how incredible I feel after this week. Taryn and Alka put on an exceptional yoga retreat. Not only did I learn so much about yoga, but I advanced my practice, incredibly both mentally and physically. Taryn is a very well rounded educated teacher that ensures her students know what they are doing and why they are doing it. She has tons of experience and it shows. Alka is an experienced therapist that gives you practical tools to use in the real world to help you live your life with your intention. She gives you tools to figure out what your intention even is! I didn’t realize all of the amazing tools I would be getting out of this experience. The layout of the week and attention to detail is 10/10. They truly care about every aspect of your stay in Bali. I’m so blessed to have met these two goddess women. If you are looking to change your life for the better, please join this retreat.

"Amazing!! "
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Taryn and Alka. Anyone can be knowledgeable, some have passion, but it is rare to find the kind hearts of these two ladies. I went into the retreat expecting to do lots of yoga in Bali and came out with such a beautiful experience. One that can’t ever fully be put into words. These two women make you feel loved, seen, heard and right at home. If only everyone was as passionate and loving as you both have been! Thank you for everything and a truly irreplaceable week in my life.

"Excellent, challenging, heart-warming, life-changing"
There’s so much attention to detail, excellence, and empathy in all the aspects of this training that I am blown away. Taryn offers an endless amount of competence, passion, and love. Her energy will carry you through the training, no matter how challenging it will be for you personally.
The athletic and physical parts of the training were in my opinion truly excellent. You will never find Taryn run out of depth given even tricky questions about any asana or yoga styles.
Anatomy with Yann is highly interesting! His experience in the health industry frames this part of the training with wholeheartedness and makes the topic appear vital and highly relatable.
The philosophy classes with Sharada are exciting and provoking. They certainly plant a seed. Her knowledge and crystal-clear pronunciation of Sanskrit and her singing voice bring an aesthetic component to the training that is simply beautiful and mesmerizing.
I want to stress that I am beyond amazed by how much the training fostered personal growth in each of us. The program and schedule are designed so that the members of the group connect to each other in a beautiful, respectful way. The group dynamics yields a comfort zone – a support network – that I believe is the heart of this training. It's a system that Taryn and Yann deliberately put into place with so much emotional intelligence and empathy. Thank you for all that! If you’re ready to invest some energy, this teacher training can be life-changing for you.

"Amazing!"
This past month was an experience I’ll never forget! The whole program was built perfectly, with challenging and creative morning practices, clear and interactive anatomy classes and truly inspiring philosophy classes. Taryn, Sharada and Yan are amazing teachers and are a great team together.
It also has been great to get the opportunity to teach two classes, because I feel ready to be a teacher!
The food was delicious and the location very good. Thank you so much Loka Yoga! 🙏🏻

"Would highly recommend "
The group dynamics was perfect on my trip. Like minded people joining me in exploring and doing things we all love. Taryn is a great tour guide with such a big heart! She worked around all our needs and really put the effort in to make it something special. Would recommend if your thinking of travelling india but not confident on your own. Taryn takes charge of all the problems that can occur so you can sit back and enjoy.

"Loka Yoga School was batter than I could ever imagine."
The knowledge and experience that Olav and Taryn have impressed me beyond any expectation I could have ever imagined. The course is carefully planned out to include everything I needed, yet they added so much more. I really was set up for success.
The experience for me was priceless; my yoga practice was strengthened, my meditation practice deepened and I gained a deeper knowledge of myself. When I chose Loka Yoga School I had no idea what an amazing gift I was giving myself. I would choose them again and again. I have so much gratitude for everything I learned in my time with Olav and Taryn.

"Hohes Niveau an Yoga Hingabe, Wissen und Liebenswürdigkeit"
Die Art der Lehrer ist einzigartig. Olav und Taryn ergänzen sich perfekt. Der Aufbau und die Inhalte des TTC ist sehr gut strukturiert. Was mir am meisten gefallen hat, ist die Expertise in der sich die beiden Lehrer bewegen. Man kann wirklich unglaublich viel lernen und mitnehmen... Es wird eine sehr freundliche und familiäre Atmosphäre geschaffen.
Das Essen und die Unterkunft sind auch sehr gut!

"Opening the heart"
My experience with Olav Arts and Taryn Weggelaar has definitely changed my life. They are not only loving, compassionate and thoughtful but also very professional, disciplined and knowledgeable.
During my stay i always had the feeling that our safety and well-being was of utmost importance and that helped create a safe environment to practise and grow - not only as a yoga teacher but also spiritualy.
My expectation was to pass my exam and walk out with my certificate but I left with much more.

"Amazing & life changing"
Perfect is the word that comes up if I look back at the YTT of Taryn and Olav. They are complementary to each other, so I got inspired by 2 wise & passionate teachers. In a great environment I learned about a broad variety of yoga (hatha, vinyasa, tantra yoga, meditation, pranayama, philosophy & anatomy).
Taryn & Olav both have beautiful hearts and you will definitely feel that. The program is an amazing set up to prepare you to feel ready as a yoga teacher and as bonus, it is life changing for your own personal grow as well!!
