"Yoga Teacher Training: Everything I hoped for and more"

From the moment I got in touch with Tandy, I could tell that she was a highly professional yoga teacher when she advised me to look at all options before deciding what to pursue. It was only when I came back having done that , we agreed to go forward.

Tandy couldn’t have been more attentive throughout the online learning period with regular WhatsApp calls to talk through progress and help with questions.

Once I arrived in France, she went out of her way to help with my travel arrangements even meeting me at the airport.

The place I stayed was right next door to her cottage and is stunning with everything you need to feel comfortable away from home.

Tandy cooked beautiful organic food with love and care and you can’t help but be interested in her passion for the environment and treating our bodies with care with the food we eat.

Now on to the teacher training;

Intense, lots of reading, lots of focus on the philosophy of yoga , all of which was made engaging by being able to question, discuss and debate.

Tandy is very thorough and authentic so we didn’t move to the next subject until we were both 100% comfortable.

She shares brilliant advice about the structure of a class, the techniques and types and all that side of teaching yoga.

What I also found invaluable was the life affirming/ challenging and rewarding conversations/coaching we had about, life milestones and how yoga can provide this amazing framework to support you.

"Yoga Shakti School With Tandy"

The experience I had with Tandy at the Yoga Shakti School was an experience I would recommend to anyone. Rather you want to become a yoga teacher or expand your knowledge, Tandy is someone you should meet. She is a patient, kind and a warm teacher. My experience with Tandy helped me become a yoga teacher and I hope to carry all the lessons she taught me into my teaching. Her one on one mentorship is perfect for someone like me who is introverted or someone that is looking to enrich their own personal journey into yoga. Tandy will make you feel supported and Comfortable. Tandy is a wonderful mentor and teacher

"Absolutely amazing experience"

The depth of the teachings was great, with lots of opportunity for direct application of yoga's teachings into our own lives. Lots of opportunity for practicing teaching, including with people from outside with varying amounts of yoga experience and physical ability. It was amazing to have the 121 time with Tandy in the 10 day intensive, with an agenda that was flexed to our needs. I'd have no hesitation recommending Tandy to anyone who has an established yoga practice and wants to go deeper. Tandy has set me up with all the tools and knowledge to grow into a teacher with a lot to offer,

"Online Yoga 1:1 mentoring"

Possibly the most valuable time I have ever spent on myself. Actually, THE most valuable! Doing the 1:1 mentoring over the last year has allowed me to develop not just the yoga skills I was expecting and the teachings listed on the website, but also to understand myself on a deeper level. When I signed up to the YTT, I had no idea it would take me on a journey of my OWN self-discovery. Tandy is a wonderful teacher, and able to guide in just the right way and also at a pace that suited me. Not only has Tandy got such depth of knowledge in Yoga, she is kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. I would recommend this course to literally everyone who has practiced the physical aspect of yoga and wants to expand their knowledge in the true meaning of yoga. Tandy has also built on my strengths and I am confident to start teaching

"An exceptional YTT course steeped in skill and knowledge "

This was my second YTT and this experience was so far superior to my previous teachings. Tandy’s knowledge is exceptional and her approach to teaching yoga philosophy will profoundly change you as a person and deepen your self awareness which is turn enhances your skill and knowledge as a teacher. Tandy’s extensive experience as a yoga teacher means that she is able to provide a highly specialist approach to postures and understanding the body especially in respect of chronic pain. Tandy’s personality is warm and nurturing and individual approach that she takes to teaching which enables the student to focus on their strengths and develop an awareness of all areas of their conscious and subconscious functioning really does set this YTT course apart. This all takes place is an idyllic setting in the French countryside with Tandy offering the most wonderful of personally tailored food.

"The most amazing journey ... to become a yoga teacher"

This teacher training was the most inspiring training I could have ever imagined. Tandy ist such an amazing teacher trainer, who shares her vast experience with so much authenticity and generosity that she was a great model and inspiration for me as a "beginning" teacher.

I was also quite amazed and impressed by the rich material this training includes: The course material (required reading) and the online and “retreat”-modules about these books and all the other subjects are so well prepared, intense and well chosen that they do not only offer a lot of important information, but also many occasions to reflect and integrate the studies emotionally and spiritually for your own path as a yogi and teacher. Tandy also offers much space and time for dialogue – not only during the retreat, but also during the months before and after in online mentoring, so constantly, I had the opportunity to reflect on my own yoga experience, my “personality” and the requirements to develop. Thus, I could experience the importance of yogic “self-study”.

A part from this, this YTT offers a great accomodation, a beautiful place to relax during the "study breaks" and Tandy prepares the most delicous and healthy food... It was just a divine experience and I am so thankful that this training offered all this, so I had the best "environment" to develop and find my way to become a responsible, inspired and heart-centered yoga teacher.

From my heart, thank you so much Tandy!

"Incredible teacher and mentor!"

This course highly exceeded any expectations I ever had for any Yoga Teacher Training course. There was lots of online coursework with constant discussion questions through email and Skype calls directly with Tandy to deepen your learning of each module. The week retreat portion was fantastic, a week in beautiful rural France with delicious home cooked food prepared for you for every meal. A week of full days of discussion and practical work with refreshing walks in the countryside.

The absolute best thing about this course is that you have this incredibly knowledgeable and passionate teacher’s full attention to answer and discuss in depth anything you need more information on or feel unprepared for. You will leave this course feeling completely prepared and knowledgeable to teach various level yoga students including pre-natal, post-natal and students suffering from chronic pain due to previous injury. Tandy also provides continued support after the course in business and marketing which is invaluable for students wanting to start up their yoga business. The best teacher training experience I could have ever dreamed of!

"My dream teacher training course "

I really felt that Tandy saw me, and where I am at this moment of my life, regarding my physical, mental, spiritual and emotional practice of yoga, as she encouraged me gently but firmly to pursue my path. It is possible to have very deep spiritual conversations with her, just as much as it is possible to have concrete, fruitful, fact-packed exchanges about anatomy, physiology and teaching techniques. I got proper hands-on teaching experience and also personal guided asana practice. I got to participate in her classes and observe her teaching. I also got a lot of reading material and felt positively challenged in my beliefs. Tandy listens in a focused way, and there is plenty of room for discussions and debates. I was also very happy about the delicious vegetarian food she prepared for me, and enjoyed our more casual chatting over meals and walks as well. Tandy is very good at maintaining a professional teacher/student relationship, whilst at the same time making one feel humanely welcome and at ease.
