Testimonial
by Tim McEvitt,
manager of Lake Isle Retreats.
I did this course in February / March 2006. Since then it's been improved in
many ways. Then it was a six week course, which was very intensive. Now the idea is that you study
material online at your own pace and then go to meet Atmananda and the other members of the team
personally over 10 days (also intensive!)
Atmananda struck me as being very Hollywood-like when I first saw him, like a
high-level yoga or spirituality guide for a movie star! But quickly I saw this was just superficial
and that as the weeks progressed I saw a very deep and loving man who is really trying to help the
world. Actually I became very impressed with his sincerity and with what he is trying to do.
As someone who is interested in philosophy I wanted to understand the essence of
what Yoga is really about. I found that this course, and by speaking to Atmananda directly, I was
able to discover what I wanted to know. As a hatha yoga course it's also very physical - and
Atmananda delivers on this side of things also.
My personal opinion is that this is among the best Yoga Teacher Training Course
that is available in the world today. The reason for this is that I consider it is most closely
aligned with guru - shastra - sadhu, or the principal of the spiritual master, the Vedic texts of
ancient India, and saintly persons. That is, if you really want to understand what yoga is, then
this course is for you. In addition to this, Atmananda's breathing / timed Power Yoga 1 set is a
brilliant energetic modern yoga class. And Power Yoga 2 gets better...

When Yoga School founder Atmananda was Dirk Degeyndt (that's his former American
name) he started teaching Atma Yoga. His spiritual teacher Bhakti Tirtha Swami gave him
initiation into the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition and gave him his new name
Atmananda.
We mention just in case you were thinking that he is so enthused with his own
greatness that he called his yoga school after himself! Actually it was vice
versa...

Questions and Answers
Q. So I complete this course and I become
a Yoga teacher? And it only takes 10 days? hmmm...surely becoming a yoga teacher
should take years.
Ans. If you complete this course
successfully you'll be able to teach some people what you've learned, providing you
continue to practise and grow. Any good teacher is always learning. And as you
teach you learn more. If you want to improve you can go on to further training, if
you so desire. But just do the thing, learn, practise, teach others, and your yoga
practise evolves naturally. In addition although this part of the course takes ten
days, you will need to study and learn material (available online) beforehand.
Q. I still have doubts. How could becoming
a yoga teacher be so easy, and inexpensive?
Ans. Learning a Yoga set or two is not
rocket science. And when you know something well enough, you can teach anyone that
doesn't know it. But you have to believe you can. Atmananda facilitates a course
that instills belief. And as his basic mission is not to become personally rich,
the course is not too expensive.
Q. And so I do this course I can become a
qualified, insured yoga teacher?
Ans. Yes you will be able to buy insurance
from a third party.

My
journey through this process with Atmananda has been for me one of the most profound and
life-altering experiences in my life. We started with bhangra yoga, a system of yoga that is
very aerobic, like Kundalini shakti, a lot of energy to it. It did a lot of work on my nervous
system, and it made me a stronger person.
