Liz and Peggy's teaching shined a light on a path I had seen but never seriously considered taking. The encouragement to create our own classes using our unique gifts along with brainstorming ideas and sharing stories broadened my understanding of what yoga is and what it holds for me and those I work with. This training offered incredible gifts and gems. I really appreciated Liz and Peggy leading by example and holding space for us to breathe and learn. Thank you for reminding us to look with eyes of love! I can't wait to recommend this program and to return to Soma Yoga Institute. --Dawn Stern

I took the 200hr teacher training course in Costa Rica in January and it was even better than I…read moreimagined it would be. Alison and Liz are joyful teachers. They really cared about us as both individuals and new teachers. I really enjoyed the attention to detail in all things. The precise language and thoughtfulness in the design of the curriculum was spot on. I loved the idea of safety first in the asanas and understanding the anatomy, this is key. I left feeling prepared to teach and this is a direct result of everything Liz and Alison taught us. Thank you, Soma Yoga Institute, for preparing me to be successful.

Robyn Smith changed my life! I had been in chronic debilitating pain for over a year, having…read more suffered with back, shoulder and neck pain for most of my life. I had tried everything; massage, chinese cupping, chiropractor, acupuncture, myofascial release, herbs, dietary changes, western medicine and still was suffering everyday. I scheduled a private consult with Robyn and in our very first session, not only was I was completely relieved of pain, she was able to restore range of motion in my neck and best of all, she taught me how to maintain my pain free status with exercises I could do at home. After a couple more 1:1 visits I was able to start exercising again so naturally I began attending yoga classes at Inner Freedom Yoga. I love the Anusara style of yoga that they teach, their focus on proper alignment, the use of props and the way they help everyone to feel comfortable no matter your prior experience with yoga, or lack there of. I love Robyn's classes and have been pleasantly surprised when she has been out of town and I got to experience the other teachers too. I value the differences that each teacher brings to class - history, stories, the magic of a well placed tennis ball, words of wisdom, interesting points to reflect upon, and more. Namaste.

I enjoy both of these instructors very much. Robyn is tender, her approach is restorative and and I can transition into poses with ease. Patrick's Tuesday night class has definitely pushed me out of my comfort zones for growth, and he is very sweet and supportive. I would recommend anyone to this wonderful space and take advantage of the great teachers and programs our community has to offer. The center offers mats, blankets, blocks and straps for anyone who doesn't have equipment. Music usually is lightly playing while the class is going, which I enjoy. Robyn offers 10 classes from IFY instructors for $85, which I took advantage of for sure!

When the order came for shelter in place, Katie was able to get up and running with Zoom classes quickly and the classes are great.

The classes are inviting, and they do a great job of finding the sweet spot between pushing you and pushing you too far; while you WILL be encouraged to get out of your comfort zone, they listen when you say you're at your limit. The fact is that the world is a bad, potentially dangerous place, and this is a good way to be prepared for when things get out of hand. Also, it's a GREAT workout, a fun hobby and sport, but it doesn't bother you with nonsense like teams and points. Between this and the king fu classes I take at HJJ's sister school, Lost Coast San Soo in Eurkea, I feel like I'm becoming a dang 40-something Mutant Ninja Turtle, baby! Come try a class or two, and if you don't like it, tell your wife I'm coming by! You can sit in the chair in the corner!
