Fiona Akhtar "I was drawn to the Elemental Yoga Teacher Training program because of its focus on the mind-body connection and also because of how much I enjoyed practicing in the Elemental Yoga style. I wasn't sure what I expected to get out of the training, but I felt certain it would deepen my practice. And that it undoubtedly has done! Bo truly integrates the mind-body connection into her unique style of yoga and conveys her passion for yoga and teaching to her students. I've come away with not only a deeper understanding of psychology, anatomy, and alignment, but also with a sense of trust in the universe and an appreciation for the serendipity that brought me to the Elemental Yoga training."

Fiona Akhtar, RYT

"The training was very comprehensive. It covered a broad range of topics I doubt most yoga trainings come close to. From anatomy, to Sanskrit, to the Sutras and the Gita, a journey through the five bodies, samskara mapping, then the opportunity to work with live clients focusing on depression, anxiety, spinal anomalies and more. Wow! It was way beyond my expectations. "
