In the words of our clients...
Mandy is a fabulous teacher. She truly understands what it means to guide and teach rather than ‘tell’. She doesn’t work to just impart her own knowledge - she holds space for her students to find their own path, starting from where they are.
I feel prepared to teach after this training. I need to build experience and confidence to start developing my voice as a teacher and what I offer, but I have the tools from this ytt as a strong foundation to do this!
I chose to do my ytt at Costa Yoga for several reasons. I liked the mix offered of vinyasa and restorative styles, which I didn’t often see elsewhere. I was also looking for a strong emphasis on anatomy, a small class size and a well rounded syllabus.
Mandy's teacher training was life-changing for me. I am now a 500-RYT, hired at a local studio and feel fully equipped and confident to teach. Mandy's lessons guide your on your yoga journey using a multi-dimensional, inclusive approach. Her professional style, and expansive knowledge of anatomy, technique, meditation, and Yogic philosophy allow you to immerse yourself in an authentic way.
Mandy Lawson really knows her stuff! She trains you with the student in mind. She’s careful in her approach, and thorough in her knowledge. Mandy honors and respects the ancient traditions of yoga, and makes sure to emphasize the fullness of its practice in all of her trainings. She is well read in ancient texts, and fluent in her knowledge. Mandy’s goal is clear, and it’s to help bring a little more peace to your body, mind, and spirit.

After completing my first 200-YTT through another yoga school I was left feeling unprepared and lacking the confidence and skill set I felt I needed to be a good yoga teacher. I knew I needed more. i signed up for Mandy's 200-YTT and it honestly answered my prayers. I was amazed by the structure and the amount of information she provided. The course was comprehensive and enlightening. I could not have asked for a better teacher.
I had been booked to complete the live 200-hour training in Costa Rica with Mandy, however, due to the pandemic, the training moved online. I was honestly blown away by how well this training was organized and led, and by how much I was able to learn without being there in person. It was an amazing experience I would recommend to anyone even slightly interested in yoga and self-growth.
Mandy Lawson is someone who is genuinely genuine. She truly wants the best for all her students. She goes out of her way to accommodate you. She's quick in responding to emails, or any questions you may have. Mandy is the real deal.
To someone considering the training: if you're looking for a well-rounded yoga teacher training that actually prepares you to teach, take your training with Costa Yoga. This YYT is strong on contemporary anatomy knowledge and what you need to know about it to teach yoga. Further, the programs offer meditation and philosophy that is rooted in tradition, but is also practical for modern lives.
