Testimonials:

Loved my 300hour journey with Arpita! I don't think I could have chosen a better teacher. I look forward to doing future training and workshops with Arpita. She truly has so much knowledge to share. - Pamela E., 2019 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate

We live in a society where the purpose of yoga is being skewed by whoever can post the most creative twisted up pose. Although it may seem beautiful on camera it misses the true beauty that yoga provides us. As I contemplated my own personal journey and how I feel about my love of yoga I knew I could only learn from someone who was as passionate about the true teachings of yoga as I am. Arpita has stretched me to new depths and I had no idea that I would fall in love with yoga all over again. It has been such a blessing to find my “asana” beneath her “tree of knowledge” during this past year. I felt at peace during this training. Even the moments when I was a deer in the headlights trying to wrap my mind around Sanskrit terms I never once felt like I did not belong. When looking for a teacher what should you look for...well “IT DEPENDS”, do you want the best? If so, then start here. Arpita, I am forever grateful for our time together. You are amazing and inspiring. I wish you many blessings on your continued journey and I can’t wait until our paths cross again - Tiffenny M., 2019 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate

There’s obviously something about Arpita’s trainings that keeps me coming back for more. I started taking her Ayuryoga class, completed her 200 hour teacher training, attended just about every Ayurveda workshop she’s put on and most recently completed her 300 hour training. Arpita has a unique gift for layering information she presents in a way that allows it to settle deep into your being. The content of her 300 hour training is rich and insightful and I personally found it full of “aha” moments. If you’re interested in diving deeply and gaining a clearer understanding of the “whys” of this rich tradition as a means of better serving your own personal growth along with that of your students, then this is the training for you. - Kathy N. 2019 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate

Does your yoga teaching need a new spark? I was looking to add new light to my classes when I found this joyful 300-hr YTT! Arpita brings her all to each moment in the amazing Ayurveda modules! Then, a diverse assortment of tried and true practices fill each weekend! I’m grateful for the fun, funny, love-infused teachings, and the connection with a heart-centered sangha! This YTT just keeps on giving! You deserve this gift!! -Lynnel W., 2018 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate

300 hrs yoga teacher training with Om Yoga Journey was one of the Best yoga teacher training program that you can find out there! The program was very through; and covered with a lot unique topics that you most likely could not find in any other program! Definitely recommend. -Jennie L., 2018 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate

My path with Om Yoga Journey has been an amazing one. During my 11 month training for my 300 hour certificate, my knowledge of all that is yoga has been life changing. OYJ brings in the best of the best. There are guest teachers who are the experts in their field. From vedic astrology, to aryuveda, to prenatal yoga and back to yoga therapy, I have learned from the masters. Even after graduation, the fire that OYJ sparked, still burns strong, and my desire to continue learning is even greater. I am forever grateful to OYJ for extended knowledge, friendships gained, and my fire even brighter. - Sheri R., 2016 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate

With the increasing variety of Advanced Yoga Teacher training programs, which are often merely extensions of existing 200 hour programs, it is difficult to find a program that truly takes the teacher, experienced and novice alike, into an entirely new plane of learning. It is equally difficulty to find advanced training which is grounded in traditional knowledge as opposed to one that focuses on the teaching style du-jour. Arpita Shah's RYS300 training overcomes all of these shortfalls and takes the experienced teacher on an educational journey that is both intellectually, emotionally and physically challenging far beyond typical programs. Her syllabus initially focuses on the fundamentals of Ayurveda, the sister science to Yoga, which is traditionally taught before Yoga in India, giving the teacher a much greater understanding of the body from the prospective of the processes at work, which has a a material impact on the asana practice and science of sequencing. With this Ayurvedic foundation her training, incorporating world class teachers, takes on the entire realm of eastern and western yoga and related sciences to new heights ranging from the subtleties of the female pelvis to the Arcane world of Jyotish. As a teacher, ones level of self awareness increases exponentially and you are provided tools that allow you to bring your teaching and your relationships with your students to an entirely new level, intuitively knowing what students need and the ability to safely provide it with finesse. There are far easier, less challenging 300 hour training programs, but if you are ready to deepen your practice, and have the drive to be the best at what you do, I can think of no other program that achieves those goals better than Arpita’s Om Yoga Journey Training Program. - Nancy D., 2016 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate

For the year of 2016, I have participated in Om Yoga Journey's Ayurveda Lifestyle Counselor Training and 300 hour RYT certification. After experiencing Arpita's 200 hour training in 2014 I knew it would be a regret not to experience her 300 hour program as well. When I learned I would get a chance to study Ayurveda along with, I was even more excited. Arpita has a traditional training unlike any other. You learn the yoga that people want in the Western world but you also learn the yoga that people need based on Eastern studies. You learn the background and history behind our beloved poses. The story and purpose behind each asana, pranayama and so much more. Ayurveda provides ancient traditions that are proven to heal the body and mind. Arpita does a wonderful job flowing through each module and piecing them together flawlessly. From Yoga Therapy, to prenatal, to teachings by Rod Stryker and Vedic Astrology; hosting a master teacher in each subject, Arpita ensured we get the most brilliant training. The final awesome thing about these trainings are the people you sit besides along the journey. You learn these ancient practices that are so fascinating and it is a thrill to be in a room surrounded by people just as enthralled as you are. Everyone is from different stories of life but has a common love for yoga. You walk in the first day and barely know any names and you walk away with a network of loving yogis and friendships. For all of this I say thank you, Arpita. You gave all of this to us and I am grateful. - Erin P., 2016 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate

OM Yoga Journey is the best school I have ever attended to and Arpita Shah is my guru and my personal favorite yoga teacher. I finished my RYT 200 with Arpita and OM Yoga Journey and was able to find a job as a yoga instructor in a couple of months! The depth of the program materials, the quality of knowledge and level of practical skills the students acquire, and most importantly Arpita's professional approach and high dedication to the teaching process makes this program unique and outstanding over all other yoga teacher training programs I heard about. If it were 1000 hours yoga training, I would definitely choose OM Yoga Journey and Arpita Shah and would recommend all my friends to do so!! - Natalya D.,2016 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate

Om Yoga Journey Teacher Training Program’s 300-hour advanced teacher-training prepares its trainees to teach principles and techniques of yoga that are more advanced, and to teach with greater skill, than could reasonably be expected of an RYT 200. - Sharon C.,2016 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate

Arpita of Om Yoga Journey is incredibly knowledgable. She is very accessible, and patiently and happily shares her in-depth wisdom. It was my immense pleasure to train under her. Jennifer U.,2016 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate

Om Yoga Journey School of Yoga by Arpita Shah is very thorough and accurate in teaching, flexible in approach to adapt to everyone's backgrounds and respectful of differences. I highly recommend this training combining Ayurveda and Yoga to deepen your personal awareness and growth. - Jan P.,2016 300 hours Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program Graduate
