"a very special experience! "

Learned, laughed and experienced a lot with a super nice and welcoming group. I can recommend this course to everyone!

All the teachers are extremely good, special thanks to Mariza, through whom I learnt to love yoga in a whole new way.

I already miss the time ❤️

This was a transformational experience for me! Yoga practice everyday included awe inspiring views of the mountains from our studio windows. Mariza created a genuinely supportive environment that allowed each of us to grow into amazing teachers! She has a lot of experience and knowledge that enhanced the course and this course covered a lot of topics that gave me a deeper understanding of yoga. This course was perfect for me!

"Une formation complete et de qualité "

Mariza et Jess sont des professeurs à l'écoute qui dévouent une grande passion à leurs pratiques. Etudier à leurs cotés fut un grand plaisir et une chance immense. Nous avons pu approfondir notre pratique, développer nos connaissances sur le pan philosophique et anatomique et commencer à enseigner dès les premiers jours. Je recommande vivement cette formation.

"Merci pour tout !"

Un lieu idyllique avec une vue absolument magnifique l'aiguille du midi, le Mont-Blanc et les montagnes alentour ! J'en garde des souvenirs inoubliables, une impression de flotter dans le temps. L'ambiance dans le chalet était à la fois studieuse et détendue. J'ai appris, j'ai douté, j'ai ris, j'ai pleuré et tous ces moments sont un vrai bonheur partagé. Merci pour tout !

"Fun!"

Mariza was informative and explained everything really well, even through the limitations of zoom during COVID lockdown. But we also got to know her really well and we had some laughs and shared stories with her too. A different but unique experience, and a wonderful teacher to have to introduce you to teaching yoga. Thank you Mariza!

"Belle expérience"

Mariza est une formatrice qui a beaucoup de connaissances et d'expérience dans le Yoga. Grace à elle, j'ai beaucoup appris sur l'anatomie et la technique des asanas.

Les workshop avec des professeurs extérieurs étaient très intéressants et permettaient de casser la routine.

Le cadre, au cœur de Chamonix, est tout simplement magnifique.

What a journey! Beyond grateful for all the things I have learnt and all the amazing people I've met during the course. Mariza is a very loving and honest person and we've all grown so much. Besides yoga practice, teaching practice & theory, anatomy and yoga philosophy we had workshops in acro yoga, chanting, ayurveda, yoga for sports and thai massage which were awesome and you see lots of different approaches to yoga from the different teachers.

The place is relaxed and in your spare time you can go for a hike or explore the village which is within 15min walking distance (there's also a bus) where you find lots of restaurants and shops.

Definitely an amazing place to learn, grow and love :)

"The best Yoga Teacher Training"

I had the most amazing time there. I was really anxious about not liking the teacher and the program but it ended up being the best experience ever. Mariza is a wonderful teacher. She taught us so much and gave us useful tools and tips from her personal experience in addition to all the knowledge. I also loved the workshops on Fridays!

It's a challenging experience, due to the short time we have to learn everything but it is so worth it! Mariza was really aware of that and created a safe environment, she made sure we were fine and was there for us the whole time. What I also really liked about her is that she never pushed her opinions onto us about what is right or wrong but let the door open for us to chose what we believe.

This is the kind of life experience that changes you. You are going to learn about yourself, and grow a lot.

I am personnally a lot more confident and I am ready to work for what I love.

I almost forgot to mention how beautiful the chalet is and the view from the shala!! Outstanding.

Go for it, you will learn so much, you will grow, cry, laugh, make friends and you won't ever want to leave.
