TESTIMONIALS:

"From the professionalism and quick response from my initial inquiry to making sure I was at the airport at a reasonable time before my departure home, I was thoroughly impressed. Shannon is not only a fantastic human being that deeply cares for the people around her, she is an expert in yoga, business, and people. She values what she has to offer and makes sure you get the most out of your money. The instructors that help her are all fantastic and bring something valuable to every lesson they teach. This is not a yoga retreat where one goes to merely lounge around but a place where one is taught to become a yoga instructor that is ready to teach classes at the end of a two week period. After getting home I was able to start teaching almost immediately and will continue to do so for life. Shannon's family is amazing, everyone we meet at the studios are as well and you can tell that they all have deep respect for what Shannon and her colleagues are doing for peoples' lives. This is absolutely the best value anyone could hope to get for their money and time and will be an experience that will be with you for the rest of your life. Highly recommend".

“My experience here was absolutely amazing. In just two weeks I feel like I returned to myself again. I pushed past my comfort zone and found strength in my ability. I loved connecting with other women again and through them and the teachers, I felt a sense of community that I have not felt in a very long time. I feel like I have a purpose again.  For too long I still found anger and resentments towards my addictions and wished I could just be normal and not weak. I see now this perceived “weakness” is exactly my strength. Through my hardships and experience I know I will be able to help others. I no longer feel like I was dealt a shitty hand of cards but am and always have been exactly where I needed to be. That is something more valuable to me than anything else. Thank you for that.” ~Paige C.

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
The experience was wonderful. I felt very supported and guided along the way. Every day was very much geared around how to make us good yoga teachers. That plus the experience of practice teaching and I feel pretty ready. I am still working on my form, which will be a lifelong journey for me. I enjoyed the afternoon Yama/Niyama/Meditation etc. classes. I didn’t know much about the spiritual side of things, and those classes really opened a door for me. I’m very interested now. I’m thankful for the variety of teaching styles in the training. Bert came in with an energy I’ve never seen in a yoga studio. He reminded me of my soccer coach growing up. It was new, encouraging and fun. I would definitely recommend this training to others. This was an excellently organized training and provided us with a very well-rounded foundation for the future!” ~Abbie C.

“With this YTT, I’ve learned not only the skills to become a yoga teacher, but also a mindful way of living. The experience and knowledge I’ve received here will certainly be helpful for my future life. I really appreciate the places where were trained and all the teachers who have shared their skills and philosophy to help me grow and glow. I learned various topics which will remain orientations for my future career. I’m now motivated to deepen this knowledge to live as a genuine yogi. I feel ready to teach yoga to those who wish to practice. The days I’ve spent here will remain in my heart forever. I’ve been surrounded by incredibly amazing people, I feel my mindset has changed and I’m so grateful. I highly recommend this program to those who feel yoga could be helpful for their life.” ~Takeshi O.

“Pure Yoga Teacher Training was everything and more I could’ve asked for. It was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had. Shannon is a wonderful host and teacher. Shannon, Amie and Bert teach in professional and very educating ways. I walked out of here with full confidence in being a yoga teacher. They truly taught me everything that a makes a wonderful teacher.  They also taught me how to make my personal practice better by connecting the dots of mind, body and spirit.  This was amazing and I would recommend this training to absolutely anyone. I give this program a 12/10.” ~Maddie C.

“This experience here at Pure Yoga 200hr YTT has been really wonderful. I feel the training I received here has prepared me to go out immediately and gain employment. Shannon and her wonderful team, Amie and Bert, taught the skills and heart needed to become an authentic and soul-filled teacher. Shannon opened her home up to me. It felt like home from day one and the food was delicious. I will definitely recommend her training course to anyone who is looking to become a yoga teacher. May the Lord bless you and keep you and may His face shine upon you.”~Angela M.

“This was the most challenging experience of my life, emotionally, physically and mentally. I learned so many things, more than I could imagine. Shannon is an intense teacher with very constructive advice and tips. I definitely wouldn’t be the same without all of her feedback.  I feel ready to teach yoga, but I know the learning will never end. I would totally recommend this training to anyone all around the world! I felt so welcomed and comfy here (thank you). Bert and Amie are also very good teachers with an infinite amount of patience and knowledge. I hope one day to come back, learn more and share time with you my friends!”~Marine A.

”During my time in Teacher Training I was challenged, supported, loved, understood and forced to grow in the most beautiful way. Being the only student from the area and someone who already knew the teachers, I knew this experience would be amazing, but it completely blew any set expectations I had out of the water. I met and befriended all of my fellow students instantly and formed a bond so powerful and intimate that I’ll never forget. The education and instruction I received from Shannon, Amie and Bert prepared me for any and all opportunities as a yoga teacher. Everything they offered us was so well thought out and personal and truly helped all of us grow into the best versions of ourselves. I could not feel any more ready to step onto my mat as a teacher and put everything I’ve learned here into real life practice. I will truly cherish all the relationships I cultivated during my time. The friendships I created alone made all of this worth it. I am so grateful that I jumped on the opportunity to pursue this training because it really changed my life for the better. Knowing I have continued support as I embark on this new journey means the world to me. I guarantee anyone who selects this training will leave with tears in their eyes, a full heart, a brain full of knowledge, and a rejuventated soul. Forever grateful, Namaste.”~Megan K.

“This has been by far the most amazing and impactful experience of my life. Definitely difficult and hard af at times. I have never felt more at home and genuinely cared for mentally, emotionally and physically. I watched myself and a very special group of beautiful souls grow and blossom. I gained so much insight and value here. I am leaving here feeling full of life, love, laughter, strength, appreciation and gratitude. My life has changed in all the ways I had dreamed and in ways I did not imagine. Full of love and light. Thank you forever!” ~Amanda S.

“My time here has been nothing short of magical. Shannon is the most compassionate, loving, healing woman. I am forever grateful she opened her home, her heart, and her studios for us all to thrive! I know I am leaving here with all the knowledge (and more) I need to become a successful and happy teacher. Her home is so comforting and the perfect place to learn, grow and connect with yourself, your fellow teachers, and this beautiful earth around you. Thank you doesn’t begin to express my gratitude for Shannon, Amie, Bert and my yogi teacher sisters for helping guide and shape me through this experience. This has been a life changing time and I will hold this magical journey dear to my heart forever. Coming here I was so nervous for what may come and my expectations were blown away, this was so much more than I could have ever dreamed.  Thank you, thank you for creating this safe space to flourish. I appreciate everything so much more than I can express.  I am leaving here with so much growth and knowledge I can not wait to expand yoga into all areas of my life. This has been truly amazing.” ~Chloe S.

“My experience at Pure Yoga Teacher Training has been one of the best in my life. The community and bonding that has been built in just two weeks has been unreal and incredible. Shannon, Amie, and Bert have been the most wonderful people I have ever met and learned from, grew from, shared with and cried with. Shannon’s beautiful home on the mountainside is one of the most magical spaces and perfect for an expansion of self. Her family welcomed our class with open arms and a loving safe space to call home away from home. The training we received is unlike any I could have imagined. Shannon, Amie, and Bert not only taught us how to beautifully teach asana, alignment, and modifications for vinyasa style of yoga, but most importantly the true spirit of yoga. With a background in trauma sensitive yoga and great knowledge of psychological and emotional healing, our beautiful instructors gave us something I truly don’t believe I cold have received anywhere else. And best of all, I am walking a way with an awareness and the beginnings of my own personal healing, not to mention five, no eight, new incredible friendships! Thank you so much for everything!” ~Nichole K.

“My experience at Pure Yoga Teacher Training has been life changing. I knew that I wanted to teach yoga, but I hadn’t thought a training program would also teach me more about myself mentally and emotionally as well. The people here helped me heal. They also guided my personal practice to be something I am now extremely proud of. The alignment cues relieved strain off my joints, the encouragement made me want to push harder, their kindness made me more comfortable in my own body.  This training was hard work, but it was always intentional. The instructors are mindful and gracious with our time and our capabilities. I am leaving here knowing that I am capable, strong and courageous. I’ve accomplished many things in the 19 years I’ve been alive, but they were all done to make someone else proud. This is the first time I have done something for myself, physically and mentally, and I am unbelievably proud.”~Madeline B.

“This experience was so different than what I expected, and so much more than I ever could have asked for. The past 16 days have been exactly what I needed in a time of transition, and offered the connection and self exploration that has been neglected by myself for quite some time. Each day I woke up very tired, but feeling very lucky to know that the knowledge and education I would receive was safe, sensitive and being provided out of compassion and healing for others. Not only did I learn about yoga, I learned about myself. I learned about my fellow classmates and about the impact that teaching yoga from the heart and soul can have. The community of The Dalles is unmatched just as Shannon, Bert, and Amie are. While this experience has been out of my comfort zone by definition, all of the wonderful souls here have made it feel like I am right at home, and right where I need to be. This Teacher Training has pushed me to be a better person, clinician, and a better version of me to myself. I cannot wait to bring all that y’all have gifted us with back to those that I love, and the students that I will grow to love. I am so very grateful.” ~Caroline S.

"My teacher training with Shannon and her wonderful team of instructors at Pure Yoga was an experience I will never forget, for all the right reasons! The amount of knowledge, compassion, respect, humor, and pure grit was exactly what I needed to make my certification experience a fortuitous one. I feel prepared to teach yoga and with hard work and dedication instilled in me by Shannon and her team's example I trust in my yoga future. Nothing is sugar coated here and expectations are high but just as important as these is to allow yourself grace and room to breathe. I found a new family in all of my fellow trainees and instructors. These wonderful humans truly know how to make a certification immersion educational, enjoyable and exemplary." ~Lee C.

"People say something special happens at yoga teacher training. Life long friendships are cultivated, memories and laughs are shared, and comfort zones are challenged. I can’t speak for all training options out there, but all of those things certainly happened at the Pure Yoga Teacher Training. From Shannon’s beautiful home to her genuine teachers, it was a one of a kind experience. She has created a safe space for authentic growth. The support I found every step of the way encouraged me to test my boundaries and try new things. I left with that support continuing, prepared to teach. I’m so grateful that I chose the training I did and got to be a part of something so special."

~Faith B.

"I want to send a large amount of gratitude to Shannon for all of the dedication and love she puts into these teacher trainings.  I signed up for my teacher training many months in advance not really knowing what to expect.  I show up the first day of the training and met my group of trainees, Shannon and Aime.  Happily, we all started finding our interpersonal connections that very night.  After many early mornings together, lots of laughs, long days, crossing paths with many people in the yoga community of The Dalles, life changing emotional releases and thought provoking conversations well into the evenings the training was over.  Looking back, I have changed for the positive and I see things in my life a little differently.  I am a stronger yogi inside and outside, and I owe that to the many people that were part of my YTT journey.  With the training, I am well prepared to go into any yoga situation and teach what I have been taught and share the gift of a balanced yoga practice.  I can guarantee the environment that Shannon cultivates with her amazing yoga family is one of a kinda, rock solid and ingrained in who you are when you leave." 
 ~Kim H.

"If you're looking for a program that will let you grow in to the authentic teacher you know you are, this is it! I loved that we hit the ground running ... teaching each other asanas everyday, starting on day one! There's so much knowledge packed into two weeks, it could feel overwhelming. However, Pure Yoga's warm, hands-on teaching style made it all manageable. I know everyone in my class left feeling confident that they had the tools & ability to create a solid class flow, guide proper alignment & be in tune with the emotional needs that may arise in a yogi. We were taught the skills that matter in the real world.  Shannon, Bert, Amie & all the wonderful teachers & artists were a pleasure to learn from. I am so thankful to have found this program!"
