GRADUATE TESTIMONIALS
“The IYT teacher training at True Nature is still revealing its gifts to me a month after graduation. While I feel confident in my understanding and teaching of yoga, the training was so much more than learning how to teach yoga. It was a rich and deeply rewarding exploration into myself and a re-introduction to my very spirit!” – Lori Ventimiglia
“I was lucky to find this training. Not only it was so close to home but it had the most amazing teacher. Deva was a great guide in my yoga path, helping me discover my true self. One of my favorite things of the training were the group meditation sessions.” – Romina Harding
“The training became a life altering experience as I discovered so much about my inner and outer self. I learned a new approach to living, and began to face some hard truths about myself. I explored the idea of what I was running from for so many years, and began to heal. I now have a strong personal practice of yoga and meditation and feel much more grounded and joyful in my life. Deva is a gifted teacher and I attribute this change to her love, guidance and commitment throughout the training. With no hesitation I recommend this training for every level of yogi.” – Nannette Weinhold
