What graduates are saying:
Jamie Surya’s 200 hour teacher training was such a soulful experience that teaching the actual asana practice almost feels secondary to what I learned. Jamie treats yoga as sacred and teaches her students to do the same and through that understanding you learn that all of life is sacred, including your own. I gained a sense of purpose, direction and ambition. Thanks to Jamie’s training and the mentorship of her and the other wonderful trainers I am a more confident woman, performer, and soul and most importantly a competent and loving yoga teacher.
Completing yoga teacher training with Jamie was the highlight of my year. She and her fellow expert teachers in the program are truly invested in each student. Jamie has a kind, radiant heart where I felt safe and supported to be myself throughout this life-changing journey. Whether you are considering the program to deepen your home practice or to teach (or both!), you will feel confident in building a safe, fun and creative yoga class as a teacher after this training. Bonus points goes to a lovely community of teachers that I can now call my friends.
Yoga teacher training at the Jamie Surya Yoga Studio is unparalleled. Jamie’s studio is a safe and secure space like I’ve never experienced before. She goes above and beyond to get the best specialized teachers for specific aspects, to make sure her teachings are clear and understood while also leaving abundant time for teaching and constructive criticism. I’ve compared her program to numerous other YTT programs and no other training felt as authentic or as well rounded as Jamie’s. The training went deeper than simply learning how to teach yoga... the training changed my life. From my individual practice, to teaching, to my confidence and presentation of my self. The connections made with others from training was simply amazing- whether it was recommendations of people to see, talk to or read about, or other yoga students and trainees who are now my family. I cannot thank Jamie enough for the outpouring love and support, for her ability to make you feel safe, secure and supported, to help guide me closer to inner peace and find stillness in the shakiness called life. The love, support and guidance does not stop there, I know I can continue to go to Jamie or her studio for any question or concern I ever have. I cannot recommend Yoga Teacher Training and The Jamie Surya Studio enough!
"I completed yoga teacher training at Jamie Surya Yoga Studio and I'm in my mid 50's! The journey transformed my life and deepened my joy for yoga. Jamie, with all her good humor, bubbly and open hearted presence, has created a warm inclusive community for yogis at ALL levels. Every time I walk into her cozy studio, I feel I have entered a sacred space; a place where I always meet so many spectacular men and women of all ages looking for the same feeling of bliss. Jamie has created that perfect space for anyone looking for a yoga studio they can call home."
"I could not imagine having found a safer, more secure environment for my teacher training, than at Jamie Surya Yoga Studio. Already having a career of my own, I was hesitant to do the training, even if just to deepen my practice. But with Jamie's encouragement, and the confidence she instills in others, I decided to take the leap, and my life will never be the same. If you've ever had any desire to do a teacher training, do yourself a favor and check out Jamie Surya Yoga Studio. You will be glad you did!”
"I never really planned to take a yoga teacher training. I just love my practice so much that I wanted to learn more. And now it seems so clear that of course I would want to share my love of yoga with others. I have so much gratitude for Jamie and Andres and all the excellent teachers who contributed to our training and who live and love what they teach. If you are considering pursuing yoga teacher training, definitely go for it! It has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life.”
"I was hesitant about joining a yoga teacher training program. I was afraid I was taking on too much. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Jamie's program has a very flexible schedule which made it work for me. Jamie was absolutely fabulous! She was extremely encouraging, patient and made the entire experience wonderful! I learned a great deal and physically felt great during my teacher training. I also made some fabulous new friends that will forever be a part of my yoga family!"
"Completing the Jamie Surya Yoga Studio 200 Hour Teacher Training is one of the most rewarding experiences that I have ever done for myself--I wish I could take it again! This program allowed our group to further explore the philosophies of yoga, to deepen our own practice and understanding--all while allowing us to gain a new support system and make connections with a beautiful group of individuals that will last a lifetime. I would highly recommend Jamie's Training, it is life-changing."
