Teacher Training and Yoga Immersion testimonials
"Seeking spiritual guidance from AmarJyothi was one of the best decisions I've made. She is a very compassionate and knowledgeable teacher, who has helped me to gain a great deal of personal insight. I was impressed by her ability to intuitively understand the nature of my being and devise an approach custom tailored to me. AmarJyothi is infectiously optimistic and has a visible enthusiasm. I leave each session feeling inspired and renewed. Her ongoing support and attention has been essential to my continued progress."
"Amarjyothi is committed to deepening her experience and expertise in both yoga teaching and practice. As a result of this commitment she has been able to successfully serve students needing personal adaptations to their yoga and spiritual practices."

"As with many yoga and spiritual practices, I’m not entirely sure if I chose to do this program, or it chose me! Regardless, I’m grateful I dedicated my time to this intense and enriching experience. In our lives we don’t always have the luxury to learn by choice so it’s truly a gift when we do so. I learned about the body and how it benefits by moving in asana and the many layers required to put together a beneficial yoga class. We also extensively investigated the spiritual side of yoga which I’ve found helpful for my everyday life and general well-being. The curriculum is nicely balanced between asana and sadhana so that you receive both physical and mental benefits. I bonded with my classmates over the weeks and will forever treasure my journey with them. It was great to learn from fellow students as well, especially since they represented a wide age range. Best of all, I walked away with some forever friends. You may think you don’t have the time to do this but if you make it a priority, you will. It’s a transforming experience. Bonnie warns you that you will never experience a yoga class the same way again. She’s right because instead you will be a better student and draw more out of every future yoga endeavor. I have changed my practice to better fit my needs and I’m excited to take all I have learned and move on to my next self-improvement adventure."
"The Yoga Loka 200 Hour Teacher Training program was transformative for me in a journey of body, mind and spirit, and kept me focused on what I needed in each moment during the challenging year of 2020-21. The exceptional teachers quickly adapted to online teaching, creating a space for relaxed, yet focused learning. The reverberations from the year will stay with me always on an energetic level and a physical level. I am stronger and clearer, using what I learned in teacher training in all areas of my life! "
"Training with Bonnie Pariser at Yoga Loka was more than I could have hoped for. Her studio is a community of kind and compassionate teachers and practitioners. I so much admire the wealth of knowledge Bonnie has to share with her students. While creating a nurturing environment she encourages her students to work hard, learn, explore, ask questions and most of all have fun with it! Anyone who has studied with Bonnie recognizes that she has a special gift, and I'm so thankful for having her as my teacher."
"After completing both my 200 Hour and 300 Hour programs with Yoga Loka, I am completely confident and satisfied in my ability to teach many types of students and in a variety of settings. Training with Yoga Loka means that you graduate having a thorough understanding of anatomy, kinesiology, and asana. It also means that you have many opportunities to practice assists, cueing, and class preparation, leaving the student completely ready to embark on a new career, or to simply enhance one's own practice. The spiritual studies classes round out the education, ensuring that the student graduates also knowing how to provide meditation and grounding instruction to students at the beginning and ending of a typical class. These spiritual studies also help the teacher read the energy of the students and give a framework to respond to his or her needs. Overall I could not be more satisfied with my years of training at Yoga Loka. Being a student at this studio, as well as a teacher trainee graduate, has changed the trajectory of my life for the better.
"Amarjyothi has created an extraordinary program that balances biomechanics and kinesiology with philosophy and spiritual pursuits. I thought I was going to learn how to teach yoga; I got that and so much more. Words really don't do the experience justice."
