I am very thankful for my YTT experience at the Vinyasa yoga academy, it has really opened my eyes to what the practice of " yoga" really means.Our teachers all shared their knowledge and teachings in a unique and engaging way. The accommodation and teaching rooms where great & kept clean. My only complaint would be the food provided at the school, it wasn't to my personal taste but this is a very minor criticism. Thank you to all the staff & teachers for a wonderful experience !
