NZ Yoga Collective - Hutt Central

"The YTT was an amazing and transformative experience.  The transformation lies in the way I feel and view myself - being content with who I am.  Yoga is really about what you do off the mat.  Maria’s background in training was clearly demonstrated in the manner the course is structured and delivered.  Her sharing of personal experiences is inspirational.  Angela’s knowledge about the physical practice and attention to detail is second to none.  The rest of the teaching staff were knowledgeable and supportive, and very approachable.  Other teachers at Hot Yoga were happy to share their knowledge and encouragement.  It was a truly fulfilling course in a safe environment.  If you are considering signing up, I would highly recommend it.  But be prepared to put in the work!!”

“I was encouraged to do the yoga teacher training course because of the joy Hot Yoga Wellington studio gave me. I always felt so grounded, excited and inspired after each class. The course provided the same effect. After every single session, I felt transformed. The course provides an abundance of knowledge. Regardless of whether you want to be a teacher, this knowledge can be adopted into your everyday life. This knowledge is now my “tools for life”. These tools have made me more self-aware and accepting. Thank you, Hot Yoga Wellington.”

"I undertook yoga teacher training because I felt I was being drawn to my practice for reasons other than the physical practice,  I knew I was ready to take my practice to the next level. Of course I was a little worried; I was worried about the additional demand on my time (work, family, friends...), would I remember all of the cues and the order of the asanas? Would I fit in with a group of people I would likely be quite different to? Through the other side now, I have nothing but beautiful memories or an amazing experience.  I have lifelong friends who are just the most gorgeous people inside and out. The teaching team guided us through the teacher training with warmth and kindness and I always felt supported.  I highly recommend yoga teacher training if you are keen to take your practice to another level - as a student and as a teacher.”

“I sought out a YTT course in order to find mentors and a community of like minded individuals to help me uncover the history and modalities of Yoga, and to show me how to apply this knowledge as an instructor. Hot Yoga’s YTT certainly achieved that. Maria and Angela, our facilitators, guided our group of less than twenty students through the internationally accredited Yoga Alliance curriculum with ease and genuine care. They both have extensive backgrounds in Yoga, including teaching, self practice and facilitating teacher training programs.”

“In 2018, I was going through a very difficult time in my personal life. With the sudden change looming, I was rather stressed. Maria and the team advice helped me. They offered a different perspective to view my experiences by looking at my behaviour, thoughts and feelings. Yoga created a more balance life for me and gave me greater self awareness. For the new perspective I gained, I am truly grateful. That calm I now feel makes me happier, helps me to slow down and to make better choices that are important and relevant to me. I would recommend the training.”
