Raw Yoga is the home you never knew you needed in this human experience until you find it... It created a wholeness for me. The training contains vast amounts of experienced knowledge and guidance which sparked excitement for me at every corner. It opens many new doors of thought, with opportunities for more growth and exploration of the self. John and Nicole have a gift for making you feel comfortable and worthy as you are. My confidence has grown, which in turn, makes me believe in my abilities as a yoga practitioner and teacher. It was a wonderful journey!

It truly is hard to put into words how much this course has meant to me. Not only did it allow me to delve deeper into the study of yoga and learn how to confidently teach a class, I also meet a community/family, people that I connected with on a level I have never done so before. The magic John and Nicole bring to the course is what makes it so unique, they created a safe environment which allowed me to be vulnerable and honest giving me a place to reflect and grow. I use the skills i learnt on this course daily, assisting me to create awareness in all my choices. This is truly a magical course and without hesitation I would highly recommend taking the leap!

Highly recommend! If you're looking for Radical Awareness then Raw is the place to be. Not only did we learn how to teach an epic vinyasa flow, but we also delved deeper into the subtler forms of yoga. Through reflection, I was able to learn more about myself, taking valuable lessons on and off the mat.

I had been considering for a while to take a 200hr yoga course but really struggled to find one that fitted everything I wanted. When I first messaged Nicole and John everything felt right from their strong communication to their immediate support and guidance. Upon meeting Nicole and John in person I just knew they were the right people for me to go on this journey with. During my 200hr journey I learnt heaps about yoga practise and philosophy but best of all I learned deeper how much it means to me as a person. There was never a time that I felt I couldn’t be myself, ask any question or make any statement. The raw family are their to support those through growth in yoga but also growth within who they are as individuals. Before this course I only wanted to do the 200 to better my practise, it was never my intention to teach. I never felt the confidence or urge for it but with the knowledge I gained and support from the raw family I now feel the opposite and feel super excited for my teaching journey ahead. To anyone thinking about making raw their teacher training home, it would be the most incredible decision you could make.

I was very excited to dive deep into yoga before the Raw teacher training and I knew this was right for me. What followed exceeded my wildest dreams though. Yoga became a tool to explore and understand my „school of life“ and is now anchored in it. It is a tool far beyond finding physical balance - but really how to find balance in my life. Nicole and John are the essence of excellent teachers and guide you through your own learning process with so much love, passion, experience and authenticity. I can now navigate through traumatic happenings without losing myself, the connection to my body or the joy and passion for life. It was an incredible and magical self healing journey, alongside people who became family and friends for life. Do you want to empower yourself in order to empower others? Trust your gut feeling then this is for you.

I was looking for something unique and I certainly got it with John and Nicole and their Raw Yoga 200 hour teacher training. They both have many gifts but knowledge and wisdom are the key ingredients that will bring growth to the lives of those that are open to holistic growth - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. They will challenge, embrace and walk with you on your journey. Creating a safe place to be your real self John and Nicole bring their own stories and authenticity to the course.

Really great valuable experience. Very kind gentle friendly teachers. I have learnt so much from self reflections and the teachings. I feel well equipped to start my yoga classes. You do not only learn yoga or about yoga you also learn a lot about yourself. It was a beautiful profound journey. Nicole and John really made a safe space to share and learn. If anyone is thinking of joining, I would highly recommend it.

This was a fun and comprehensive training held in a safe and enthusiastic atmosphere. This training goes beyond aerial asana,challenging trainees to consider their intentions for what and how they teach aerial yoga, and encouraging a self-reflective approach to the practice.
