They were knowledgable, professional and extremely thorough.

I was extremely satisfied with the 200-hr YTT at Skyhawk Yoga. I registered for the program hoping to gain a better understanding of yoga in its authentic form, but the knowledge I attained far exceeded my expectations. The course was a life changing experience for me and I would highly recommend Skyhawk Yoga as an excellent school of yoga.
Stephanie Groulx

I could not be more grateful for the time and effort that went into this course. Tamara and Rahul were not only so kind and welcoming, but also SO knowledgeable of the yogic lifestyle. I didn’t really know what I was walking into when starting this course, and am truly speechless at what I’m walking away with. An amazing experience that goes beyond what the western world depicts as yoga; I feel like myself again and I owe it to the time, patience and care that Skyhawk Yoga puts into each day of their training. If you are considering a YTT, you won’t regret the choice to learn with Skyhawk Yoga. Thank you Tamara and Rahul!
