Dear Paul,

Since I decided to take the camp-in-a-box to become a Yoga teacher, I've never looked back. It was great that I could do it at my own pace with lots of support from you and all the staff at Aura. Although we never met in person, somehow I feel connected. You are always there for any problems and questions that arise along the way.

I'm so glad that I have clicked on your website because I have no regrets at all. Surely I'm looking forward to expand my knowledge and keep advancing by taking more various courses that you have to offer. I like the work you're doing on the website!

For all of this I really want to thank you for everything.

Namaste

Certified Yoga Teacher

After practicing yoga for 12 years, and being tired of sitting behind a desk staring at a computer, I decided that I had to pursue teaching yoga.

One month after I started my Camp-In-A-Box teacher training I got a job working with a yoga studio, and began assistant-teaching and helping run the business.

Now, having only been certified for one month, I am designing a yoga program for the top Spa in the area.

For everyone looking to start a full-time or part-time career in yoga, Aura Yoga's Camp-In-A-Box is the perfect choice.

A fantastic program at an affordable price, being done on your own time schedule. I wouldn't have done it any other way.

Wow, I am so excited.

I can not say enough about how much I enjoyed and learned from my Aura Yoga training. I loved the ability I had to be able to do as much or as little as I wanted. Yoga did become a part of my day (I took my books everywhere). Now it such a part of my life.

Now what can I say about Paul. Well first of all, if I had a question, he emailed me a response immediately which usually ended up being several pages with additional resources to access for additional information. I felt that he treated my question as if it was the most important thing he had to do for that day. He is awesome (and pretty knowledgable, too).

Thanks Paul! I feel ready to build my business and/or go to any facility and be hired.

Cindy

Thank you Paul and Aura Wellness Center for helping me to attain my goal in becoming a yoga teacher. I am happy to be teaching two classes a week only a couple of weeks after receiving my certification

I was skeptical and apprehensive at first about a distance course but Paul has personified everything I hoped to find in a teacher.

The course enriched my understanding of yoga and allowed me to work at my own pace, and on my own time schedule.

Paul responded immediately to any questions I had and provided knowledge and encouragement on a regular basis.

I would highly recommend this teacher's training course. I look forward to enhancing my knowledge of yoga with another Aura Wellness Center distance course in the future.

One must never stop learning... the monthly newsletter provides a wealth of information.

Heartfelt Gratitude,

Hi Paul,

Debbie, Graduate
Yoga Teacher Training

I received my diploma today and it is a beautiful document for framing, one which gives me great pride. I enjoyed my training with Aura being completely supported with materials, information, and knowing that help was only an email away. I worked with a local yoga teacher in helping me with my form, sequencing, and cueing. Practice, practice, practice is the key. Practicing with as many different groups, both adults and children, was very helpful for me in developing my style.

My focus is teaching yoga to children, but it was very helpful working with adults. I began a Lunchtime Yoga class at my university for faculty and staff and that was very helpful training. They were willing to come because the class was free and I let them know that I was practicing my skills on them. Being proactive in creating training situations for myself helped me in the learning process.

Reading the textbooks was informative and enjoyable and I learned a lot. The training was a step-by-step process and I took full advantage of the year that I had to complete all of the steps.

Take care and be blessed. Keep up the good work and keep the articles coming.

Namaste,
Debbie

If you are considering becoming a yoga teacher and are wondering about a long distance training program: look no further. You've been led to the right place! I was so pleased with the personal interest from Paul in his encouraging e-mails, quick answers of questions and in depth knowledge.

I always felt supported and at home in the course. The training materials are great and you will use them not only for your study, but for your personal enjoyment in the future as well. The business advice is right on and very helpful in guiding a new teacher in the professional world. I am so happy I chose this school and I feel that I have learned so much that will not only help me in my teaching, but in my life!

Thank you Paul and Marie for providing this wonderful opportunity!

I just received my Yoga certificate today, I am very proud to be a graduate of your training program. I am more than happy to write a testimonial, as I would recommend your training program to anyone interested in studying Yoga.

I have always loved practicing Yoga, it kept my stress levels to a minimum while working as a flight attendant for seven years. I decided to try a new career path and after much consideration I concluded that I should put my passion for Yoga into practice. It is one thing to follow an instructor during a Yoga class, but to learn the history and fundamentals behind this age old discipline was the knowledge I was after. Yoga is a discipline that requires on-going commitment and education.

The Aura Wellness Centre had the most comprehensive syllabus of all Yoga courses that I found, and belive me I researched throughly. You work at your own pace and you have help at hand when ever you need it. I would recommend starting with your 50 written questions, and then move onto the essay. The internet does provide a great array of resources to help you with the essay content. When it comes to your practical exam I would suggest attending many Yoga classes; different styles of Yoga and different teaching methods. It is also great to learn from DVDs. Take from these resources what appeals to you and format your own style of teaching. Start using a video to tape yourself teaching a "mock" class. It helps to hear how your voice carries, cuing skills are vital to a successful class. You will gain more confidence in teaching classes if you start practicing now!

The resources that Aura provides you with are invaluable, it is extremely well structured and professional in every aspect. I loved the course and I feel confident in the skills I attained through my studies. I am now a professional Yoga instructor at my husband's gym in Bahrain, the demand for Yoga is extraordinary! The support Aura offers you continues after you complete the course, it is all about networking and Aura are a godsend. Do yourself a favour and start studying with Aura today.

Kind Regards,
Rachael Pardon

Today I taught my first Yoga class, less than two weeks after receiving my Aura Yoga Diploma.

A dream became reality. Taking time out of my busy life to go and do a yoga course, was an impossiblity, but then I discovered Aura Yoga. I thoroughly enjoyed the comprehensive course. Throughout the course, whenever I had any questions, Paul always responded very promptly.

I would not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone interested in heading down the yogic teaching path.

I finished my class today receiving warm thanks from the students, I would like to express my warm thanks to Paul and the Aura Yoga team.

Dear Paul, Marie & the staff,
Namaste,

Thank you all for help, guidance & material to study the course in achieving my hatha yoga diploma. I am glad to gain this certificate.

Having family responsibilities I couldn't get much time to stay away from home for weekend yoga teaching programs. In this situation your program brought light on me. With my vision difficulties I could study on my own pace. Aura Teacher training program is a comprehensive study program with affordable price.

Aura's Camp in a box Teacher training prigram is worth ten times the price. The materials including books, CDs, DVDs are very interesting & in depth. The course covers a lot of things that a beginner yoga teacher requires to know. Whenever I had question You were quick in response. Your critiques, comments & advice are very insightful & helpful.

I am practising yoga for years but to teach others is different experience. Without certificate it is difficult to teach general public . It is a great pleasure to share the thoughts & knowledge about yoga & philosophy with others & feel the joy, feel the connection - the union - yoga.

I have already started teaching at my home & at the temple, very soon I am going to start at local yoga studio & health center & eventually start my own studio. As a teacher I can set example by practicing yoga & making yoga a part of life & teaching people to quality life.

This is a starting point - the gateway of journey to achieve health, harmony & happiness.

Thanks again for making it happen.

Hi Paul!

Received my new Teaching certificate. Thanks for your on-going support.

I am grateful for the opportunity your program has provided for me. I work 50 + hours at my hospital job which makes it next to impossible, at this time to travel, to continue my yoga studies. I appreciate that you are always just a phone call or e-mail away when I need you, and that you are so prompt in responding.

Your teacher training program has improved my ability to continue to provide quality yoga instruction as well as enhancing my personal yoga practice!

Sincerely,

I've been teaching for a couple of months already in a brand new health and wellness clinic and am enjoying every minute of it. Everyone that has taken the classes have completely enjoyed them, so i'm sure it's just a matter of time before the word spreads and classes fill up.

That tells me that the Aura yoga camp in a box gave me exactly what i needed to have the knowledge and confidence to run a proper yoga class smoothly. This program is a great way for anyone who wants to learn more about yoga and themselves with the convenience of doing the work at home and at their own pace.

Thanks Paul for putting this camp in a box together, it has helped me move further in the direction of being healthier and happier which is rubbing off on the people around me. Hopefully it continues to spread like wild fire.

Sincerely,
Luke Baker

Thank you for reviewing my tests and sending my results back so quickly. I appreciated your input on my practical exam. Safety and alignment are so important to me when I teach because I have such a varied population (age, ability and limitations).

Your Yoga Certification enabled me to learn so very much with the excellent resources provided (books, CDs, DVDs and monthly newsletters). The DVD Anatomy for Yoga with Paul Grilley helped me to understand the differences in poses from one individual to another. When I participate in, observe or instruct Yoga classes I keep in mind all of I have learned.

Lastly, thank you for being accessible during the certification process. You always answered any questions I had by phone or email.

I look forward to doing another certification in the future with Aura Wellness Center.

Namaste,

Hi Paul,

I really enjoyed Aura's yoga teacher training course. It was very comprehensive and covered all the topics I thought it should, and more. Being a working mother with three children, I really appreciated that I could learn at my own pace. I was thrilled to get my certificate in the mail. I will definitely be taking more courses from Aura.

Sincerely,

Dear Paul,

Rochelle, Graduate

I took my first yoga class when I was in my late 20's. That was in the late 60's! I didn't practice yoga again until the late 80's when I started suffering from Repetitive Strain Injury from being a shorthand script secretary. An advertisement in a Saturday newspaper headed 'Yoga' an RSI alternative caught my eye. I remember floating out of that yoga studio with my feet about 30cm above the earth after a long awaited Savasana. What an alternative to RSI!

I moved from Australia to London to see the world, traveled to many countries and ended up settling on a Greek Island where there are no yoga studios or certified yoga teachers. I purchased Aura's offer of 'Camp in a Box', took the benefit of the one year to complete it, crossed my fingers for good luck and off I went. What a challenge it was; not having a yoga teacher nearby to ask questions about alignment, cueing skills and lesson planning. Not to mention not having yoga classes to attend and to experience Savasana. Aura was there for me though and I sent many questions via email as well as telephoning Paul. I purchased a very large mirror, turned our 'summer guest house' into my studio, bought a voice recorder, and took my own class listening to my own voice. As I recall reading one of Paul's many interesting articles one day, he said we are sometimes our own worst critic; he sure was right – I sounded terrible. So I bought yoga DVD to save me.

My Diploma arrived in the post last week, I passed with honors. It felt like my RSI experience of Savasana all over again. I was floating.

Socrates once said; 'I get older, while I learn'. I got younger while I learnt and practiced more yoga. Thanks to Paul and Marie Jerrard at Aura, I now plan to offer Hatha classes to the community in my local village. My Greek is not yet fluent enough to teach the non English speaking villagers', so my husband Sotiris will be my translator. Whether you are 21 or 61; I would recommend learning to be a yoga teacher this way – it's a great disciplinarian.

Dear Paul,

I was a professor for 18 years and quite impressed with the course outline. The questions were comprehensive and certainly expanded my knowledge of Yoga therapy. The books were well chosen and I'm sure will be referenced frequently.

Thank you Paul for being a mentor and making yourself available whenever I needed your assistance.

This course surpassed my expectations and I give it my full endorsement.

Your phone call last evening made my day... my week... my life.... I put so much effort into this certification & was waiting humbly for your grade & input as to my abilities. I thank you again for extending to me the opportunity to meet a dream goal in my life to be certified in Yoga.

Your material was excellent & I found the course well laid out & prepared.

It was not easy, by any means, but anyone with desire & drive would find it so enjoyable & rewarding!

I thank you for the input as to where I need a little extra thought & work. I will follow your lead & try to improve those areas.

Again Paul, Thank you for all.

Warm regards,
Leslie

Hi Paul,

I wanted to take this opportunity to again thank you and AURA Yoga for providing such a great format in which to become a Certified Yoga Teacher. The quality of the materials is fantastic; the books and DVDs are indispensible and are now a permanent and treasured part of my library. This course brought me deeper into Yoga and deeper into knowledge - the questions and essay requirement were challenging but very "do-able"... it does take dedication and a certain amount of work but it is so well worth it! I would also like to mention how beautiful my certificate is - what a treat when it arrived in the mail! My family is as proud of it as I am!

Thank you so much for this experience and I look forward to recertifying when that time arrives. If I should ever be on the East Coast I would certainly enjoy meeting the Yoga family there.

May you be blessed with joy in your soul!

Peace~

Participating in a home study yoga course allows you the freedom and the free time to really research your yoga of choice. I don't believe that I would have had the opportunity to study as in depth as I did if I had gone the more traditional route. The Aura Yoga studio provided excellent resources and I greatly appreciated the quick responses to questions. I recommend these courses!

Thanks,
Rachel

Hi Paul,

I know its been awhile since I received my teacher training certificate, but I did want to write to you to tell you how much I enjoyed your course.

The materials you provided with the course are excellent and I use them in my daily practice also. I love the DVDs and Cds on meditation, as I continue to collect yoga material, I always come back to your course materials for answers to my questions and my students' questions.

I also would like everyone to know how helpful you are. I called you a few times and you were always there to provide guidance. I am so glad I took your course.

Even if you never teach yoga, but are interested in a deeper knowledge, I would suggest you take this course.

Thanks again Paul, feel free to print this letter of thanks, for your future students.

Dear Paul and Marie,

I thank you for developing the Yoga Teacher Training Camp-in-a-Box. When searching for a program for certification, your program stood out from others. The structure of the program, the materials, the newsletters, an informative web site and your support are a great combination for success. I am very impressed and appreciative.

Your program was not only affordable but also flexible. I could study day or night and had a year to complete the program without an extension. More importantly, your program covered many aspects of yoga, not only the asanas. The practical exam was another important feature of your training. It was important to be evaluated both on paper and in a classroom setting as the teacher, where we have a direct impact on others.

Your training program is well rounded. I feel that I am able to present yoga well with benefit to my students. I strongly recommend your program to any serious teacher. It is a rewarding feeling to hang my certificate.

With gratitude,

Dear Paul

Debra, Graduate
Distance Yoga Teacher Training

Here in Tishomingo, MS, Yoga was an abstract concept. There was one certified yoga instrutor in the area who had gotten her certification by working as a security guard at a yoga event in Atlanta, GA. While she could memic the yoga asanas, her lack of true knowledge and understanding of yoga caused what success she had experience to unravel quickly.

I have practiced yoga most of my life. My only resources being video tapes, TV, and books. I have even taught some private yoga classes to friends in my home over the years. I didn't consider getting my certification until a year ago. I was looking for a yoga class and there wasn't one within hours from where I live. I got online and googled "yoga training". Most everything I found was either too expensive or so far away from home that I couldn't even consider the possibility. Then I found Aura Wellness Teacher Training Center. My first thought was, "this is too good to be true". Did a little research and before long I was ordering my first course work.

Their study materials were wonderful and the course is designed in such a way that you can't go through it without establishing a firm foundation of yoga knowledge and understanding. Paul and Marie have included everything you need right down to business courses that have proved to be most valuable to me recently.

I landed my first teaching job at a medical center and taught there for 6 months until the Chief of Staff at the medical center offered me a building to use for a yoga studio. I am 44 years old, I've been a stay at home mom for 20 years, and I have never been in business before. I can honestly say that I followed the Aura business training courses right to the letter and business is booming. The studio has been opened of two months now and already we have over 30 members. The doctors in the area have embraced me and are sending their patients to me. The school district has asked me to do a summer program for the middle school students, I will be doing two classes per week for the middle school teachers starting in August, and I teach two classes per week for the seniors assisted living center. You know you're on the right path when the universe steps up to meet you and opens doors for you. Doors I never dreamed it possible.

I believe that if you are going to do anything. You must prepare yourself. I would be foolish to think I know enough about yoga to finish this task I've been given so I continue to be a student of yoga. Aura Wellness Center is a wealth of information. I will finish my course work with them and continue to stay plugged into the source that the Universe/God brought me to. Aura offers so many courses for continued education there is little reason to go elsewhere.

P. S. The certified instructor I mentioned earlier. I have offered her a job, as long as she goes through Aura Wellness Center C.I.A.B.

Dear Paul,

I am very happy that I have passed my exam. This is the second time I take diploma examination in order to improve my knowledge for yoga.

In 1996 I took my first one-year teacher training programmes at I.Y.T.A. - INTERNATIONAL YOGA TEACHER ASSOCIATION, in sydney, Australia. This year, I am very happy to join Aura Wellness Center to improve myself.

I have been teaching yoga for 20 years and I am very pleased to see that most my students are healthy in minds as well as physically. They are also proud with their beautiful body shape which not many other could have, especially those of their age.

This also makes them constantly aware of their condition and would never miss to come to the class for the yoga sessions.

Now I'm 53 years old and I hope I can always teach and could improve my skill and knowledge in Yoga so that it could benefit more who come to my classe.

Thank you.

Dear Paul,

I just received my renewed Yoga Teacher Certificate and I am very proud to have it. Thank you for providing the renewal because it did indeed deepen my knowledge of yoga. I have been practicing yoga for 12 years and since it is a practice which needs attention and dedication in order to expand, the re-certification was a good tool to do so. Since receiving my original certificate, I have been teaching and I am inspired to bring yoga to a wider public, outside of the yoga studios. Your book on teaching yoga is a huge help, filled with ideas and practical tips.

Thank you for the course and thank you for always being present with your newsletters, blogs, and immediate response to my questions. The support you provide is tremendous.

Namaskar Paul,

I have thoroughly enjoyed this course and I am ever so thankful to Paul. I have been a yoga practitioner for more than seven years. Personal tragedy led me into the world of Yoga. I became very curious as to the connection of Yoga, body, and mind when I started noticing changes in myself. I wanted to learn more and that is when that I came across this course. We have all heard this many times, 'no mind can ever receive the truth unless it is prepared to receive it'. Likewise, this course came my way when I was ready to listen and change.

This course has helped me refocus, listen to myself, and release some of my fears (it is a work in progress). I have also come to understand that despite the universal unpleasantaries that we all suffer as human being, these sufferings can also become a source of growth and can strengthen and deepen the experience of life.

With the help of asanas, meditation, and of course nutritious food I have been able to balance my body, find joy, strength, freedom, and love that I lost in the shore-of-life. There are things that happen in life and there is nothing that we can do to change this. But we can choose to change the direction of life and learn to paddle where we want to go next. I am sure with patience and time I will learn not to fight the waters and also survive the rapids. Paul, thank-you so much for listening, encouraging and making my journey more bearable. Through this course you have helped me navigate, the weathers more smoothly.

Namaste,

AURA's Yoga Teacher Training Certification was exactly what i needed, with my busy lifestyle it is very hard to take a few weeks off at a time to attend a on-site training. I have a full time job and play bass with Chapel Hill band Feeding the Fire. I was able to easily adapt the training to my current schedule and complete it in under 2 months. I'm teaching private lessons and have started teaching at Franklin Street Yoga Center here in Chapel Hill. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for an alternative to on-site training.

Thank you very much Paul!!

It has been almost a year since my certification and I do apologize for not writing sooner. It is very easy to get caught up in life! I do want to thank you for the opportunity to take your home study class and complete your course in my own time without the enormous expense. I have been teaching in a small setting since March of this year and the class has made a difference in several students lives.(including mine) And that's what matters. It really is amazing and mind boggling the different "types" of yoga certification that are out there. I just wanted people to experience what I have through yoga and to be of service, if I could. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation!

Paul's program is top-notch. Studying at your own pace rather than a pace set for however many students worked very well for me. Paul was with me all the way, my emails were answered quickly, and phone calls just as quickly. I feel I'm as well rounded as a beginner teacher as I would have been if I had been on site. The AURA training program is great.

The certification course & diploma that I have earned has not just made me a bonafide teacher, it has made me become a student once again. I have realized that its more than just getting a diploma, it is all about continuing education & learning more about yoga. You get updated especially on anatomy, physiology & many more. The books & videos provided are "must haves" that I will surely keep them for further references & education. More power to Aura Wellness Center & I look forward to teaching in my new home (UK).

Roberto Carag Dario

The Aura Yoga Teacher Teacher Training has allowed me to deepen my understanding and personal practice of yoga and at the same time share my enthusiasm with some of my colleagues from work. Even though, I think, that ultimately, a live training/workshop is better in some respects, sometime situations make this impossible. This is a very good alternative.

Living in Vietnam and being tied to work for certain periods of time makes it pretty much impossible for me to do face-to-face training. This program allowed me to work at my own pace, enjoy what I was doing and reading, while continuing with my daily life.

Paul always answered my emails very quickly and respectfully, the materials are of a high quality and varied and the assignments are thoughtful and helpful. Thank you for my certificate!

Karin

Paul,

I received my diploma today and was thrilled to finally become a Certified Yoga Instructor.

Your assistance and guidance in helping me to reach my dream of becoming a Yoga Teacher is much appreciated. I found the program to be a wonderful experience. You include so many necessary materials that cover all aspects of teaching yoga - I felt that I had a complete education after completing the course.

You were prompt in responding to all my emails with any questions or concerns I might have had making the learning experience so much easier and enjoyable. Your program makes it easy for someone to work within their own schedule, which is not possible with other programs. I would highly recommend your course to any practitioner who has decided to pursue the journey of becoming a yoga teacher.

Thanks so much.

Having taught hatha yoga for over thirty eight years, I would highly recommend the Aura Teacher's Training Course for anyone wishing to acquire a well rounded grasp on hatha yoga. Yoga has so much to offer that with continuing study and research you can always learn new benefits and ways to adapt your presentation to the individual needs of your students.

It is obvious that Paul Jerard loves yoga and loves to see people succeed teaching yoga. He has thoughtfully brought to attention a wide range of valuable points that will be most helpful to everyone practicing hatha yoga.

Aura also offers a great on going base of support with information and ideas to continually help you with your future classes and students.

I can highly recommend the Yoga Teachers Course offered by Aura Yoga.

Teachings cover a broad spectrum of Yoga related themes and should give you enough confidence to start teaching Yoga classes once you are finished.

The service I received from Paul was excellent. E-mails were answered almost immediately and he gave helpful feedback on both the theoretical and practical exam. I always felt well looked after and won't hesitate to contact him again in future if I have more questions.

A big thank-you to Paul and the Aura Yoga team, I will recommend them to other aspiring Yoga teachers!

All the best

Dear AURA YOGA,

I just finished my exams to become a yoga teacher and I want to thank you for this excellent course. I felt supported all the time through my studies and every question I had was answered immediately by e-mail. I was impressed by the study material, every book and all the CDs were so interesting that made it a joy to read, watch and learn.

I have already recommended your course to a few friends, and I can recommend it to everybody who is interested in Yoga. Not only to the people who do not have thousands of Euros to become a teacher but also to the people who can't afford to leave home and work to go abroad and study for it. Aura yoga is the best choice!!

I really enjoyed every single minute of my studies and now I enjoy teaching yoga. I feel secure when my students ask me questions, I improved my knowledge so much and finally feel able to share it.

Thank you soooo much Paul, I really do appreciate and I will make sure that more people will find out about your amazing course. I wish you all the best for the future!

Yours sincerely

Namaste Paul,

Thank you so much for your wonderful yoga teacher training course! I received my certificate and it is so beautifully done. I will treasure it always. I have already framed it!

I have a weekly class at an activities center in a local housing development. The class is going well so far, but I will be in touch as I need advice or assistance.

I am offering classes here in my home and had a husband and wife come today for their first class and I feel it went very well.

I am so pleased to be able to work with people in this way. I can hardly believe such a dream has come true for me.

I am also starting a private practice in therapy here now and I know it is a good combination with the yoga. Please send light and love toward that endeavor."

Greetings Paul,

I recently received my Yoga Teacher Training certificate from Aura Wellness Center and have to say that I’m pleased as punch!

The Camp-In-A-Box program not only provided me with the educational tools necessary to begin building a yoga business, it also gave me the inspiration and momentum to move forward with enthusiasm.

I particularly want to thank you for the excellent yoga materials and support that you provided over the course of my study. I would highly recommend the Camp-In-A-Box program to anyone interested in teaching yoga. The program is also excellent for individuals wanting to immerse themselves in the private study of yoga philosophy, the chakra system, yogic breathing, and of course yoga posturing.

Namaste,

Namaste Director Paul!

I just received my response from you regarding my certification as a Yoga intructor, and am so very appreciative and excited! I enrolled last May with hopes to complete all of the requirements by year-end, which was very "doable". I have never had formal Yoga training, but have done self-study and attended classes randomly for the past 7 years. I would encourage ANY person who wants to become an instructor, or who simply wants to enhance their own knowledge and skills to enroll in your course. You were always readily available if I had questions, which were few because the materials were so well organized and clear. The resource materials were of highest in quality, and I truly learned so much. I just recently received a promotion, which was unexpected yet wonderful, and am uncertain as to how soon I will be able to begin teaching. When I mentioned this to my husband, he replied that the enjoyment, practice benefits, and sense of accomplishment that your course gave me was priceless, even if I never get to teach (which, by the way, will not be the case). I agree with him wholeheartedly and just cannot thank you enough for this wonderful opportunity.

Dear Paul,

I received my certificate today, thank you so much!! I appreciate the kind words and recommendation...

As a yoga teacher who was needing to re certify, but not interested in whirl- wind weekend courses, I found AURA Yoga's YTT Camp-in-a-Box to be exactly what I was looking for.

The materials sent are written by the finest teachers in yoga and the questions are challenging and though. The information that I gained through the course is used on a daily basis through every aspect of my life.

I was also impressed with the quick response to all my e-mails and the answers I needed when I needed them. I recommend this program to anyone interested in exploring the practice an the business of yoga further.

Namaste,

Paul and Marie,

Thank you so much for all your help- I wanted to write a short testimonial for the course.

I started teaching yoga after taking a weekend certification course because there was always a shortage of yoga instructors at the gym. The weekend certification program inspired me, but as I tried to put together routines and study as many yoga books as I could, I felt very overwhelmed. I stay home with three small children and couldn't just leave to go on extensive training courses, but I really wanted to learn as much as I could about Yoga and why it works and the safest way to teach the asanas.

When I found the on line Aura education program - I was thrilled. I looked into the course and curriculum and I found exactly what I needed. The course provided a structured curriculum, and guided me through many books with questions that were important for me to know and understand if I wanted to be a safe and effective instructor. Students who take yoga have many questions and they have a right to knowledgeable answers. As I went through the course work, I felt confidence in what I was doing and I was able to answer questions. I also enjoyed making hand outs for students out of the many questions on the exams that I thought were really fascinating as I researched the answers.

Paul was available on line and promptly answered any questions I had through out the year. Paul was very encouraging as well as helpful. The materials I received were thorough and I learned so much in a systematic way. I received modules spaced out, so I didn't feel overwhelmed and everything was laid out nicely even for a busy Mom to do a little at a time. Paul and Marie took so much time to look over everything I sent in with such detail, and they gave me valuable input and helpful remarks to help me improve!!!! I highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in teaching yoga, learning about yoga or wants to further there understanding about a 5000 year old art form that is amazing.

I thank the Aura Wellness Center for all their help and tools and I look forward to continuing classes with them!!! I taught High school mathematics before I had children, so I am fimiliar with curriculums, and I am very impressed at how well this course was organized and put together, so I encourage anyone thinking about it- to go for it.

Dear Paul,

I just received my certificate & can hardly express how proud & happy I am; I must say when I first got the course material I was overwhelmed with the amount and scope of it. As time passed though I was enjoying my readings & watching the different cd's provided, it was all very relevant and goes in depth into all aspects of yoga, be it physical, mental or spiritual. I have a great sense of achievement having passed the various exams and am confident that I am capable of teaching a yoga class safely & with lots of compassion & care; having been a practitioner for many years will help me do the shift from student to teacher, with the knowledge that I still have a lot to cover & study.The amazing moment for me was when writing the essay & being aware of the benefits that yoga brings to people's lives, and the realization that I can now convey those benefits in my classes.

I now give private lessons to individuals, paying attention to their specific needs, I am also considering teaching kids & introducing them to this wonderful art.

Thank you Aura Yoga for making my dream come true, thank you Paul for being there answering my every question promptly & sincerely.

All the best
Jocelyne

Last month I received my Yoga teaching certification through the Aura Yoga Teaching Training Program. This has been a real blessing in my life. The course was exactly suited to my particular needs. I could work at my own pace in my home and it was affordable. I was able to read the materials and complete the assignments in just a little over three months. If I had any questions, I received a quick response from Paul. Now, as I begin teaching yoga, it is comforting to know that if any questions or concerns arise, I have the support I need from Aura Wellness Center.

Hello Paul,

I wanted to tell you how happy I am with my diploma and how much I loved your course. All of the work was straight forward. It was fun and easy to understand. I learned so much more that I ever thought I would. You were so helpful with everything I needed. My questions were always awnsered quickly and completely. I started out not knowing anything about yoga and finished with all the education and confidence to teach my own class. You helped me strive for a better me and a better way of life for my children.

I will highly recomend your school to others and can not wait to contiune my education with your school.

Thank you very much,
Colleen Kelly O'Malley Gardner
