TESTIMONIALS
"I have just completed my teacher training with Kathy and Yoga University. All can I say is what a journey, it has been amazing from start to finish, and set me up to teach in the real world from the off. Kathy has a wealth of knowledge and has shared this with us throughout the course. She is fun, inspiring and every weekend was a new adventure. I couldn’t recommend the training enough and cannot wait for my next one!
"Embarking on the teacher training course was a very big decision for me to make. The time was right in my life and I feel very lucky to have made this life changing journey from enthusiastic yogi and yoga teacher , Kathy Ran. Kathy has been much more than a yoga teacher, she has been a mentor and helped me to see my life much clearer. I've learned skills for on and off the mat that I will hold dear for always. Kathy has a wonderful nonthreatening, non invasive way of getting to know all her students and encourages the group to grow together , building lifelong friendships.
The environment we worked in every week was very inspiring and I felt I grew in practise and was allowed to become myself again.
It was a treat and privilege to take 6 months out and play. What a wonderful course. Thank you Kathy!"

"I cannot recommend this yoga course more. It is not so much a course, more a personal journey. Whether you are new to yoga or a seasoned veteran. It's truly been one of the most inspirational thing I have done for myself in years. Big love and Namaste".
