“The Ghosh Yoga Foundational Level Teacher Training course exceeded my expectations in every way. The course materials were thoughtfully organized; clearly and concisely presented and solidified through the online discussions and direct access to Scott and Ida Jo. I believe I have been given an exceptional foundation and framework upon which I can continue to build my knowledge of yoga anatomy, asana, history and philosophy to the betterment of my own personal practice and that of my students.”

“Scott and Ida are outstanding ambassadors for yoga. Their knowledge of the heritage and rich tradition of India is only outmatched by their precise knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the human body.

“I took this course not to become a teacher, but to expand and deepen and provide some accountability for my own practice. It was hugely beneficial for all of those goals. The material, the community, the practice – everything was so helpful. Scott and Ida are amazing teachers: clear, focused, supportive, open, knowledgeable, generous. You will not regret taking this course.”

“The Ghosh Yoga Foundational Teacher Training was a great experience! The length, depth, and breadth of the course enabled me to take true ownership of my personal practice, including pranayama and breathing, asana, and study. I’m now confident in my ability to develop asana practices and to execute them safely, whether for myself or others. While the course requires dedicated effort over a fairly long period of time, that time and effort does pay off. My practices have improved, my foundational knowledge has increased, and I’ve incorporated all of this into my life. Highly recommend this course for anyone with the motivation and dedication to do the work at home!”
