Reviews and interviews
In this section of the webpage you’ll find interviews that we’ve done to our students, either on the last day of the training or later on, to see how they’ve done after some time, and see if they are teaching or how the experience of the yoga teacher training has change their lives (in case that have changed)
Also we took a little compilation of testimonials and add their IG so you can see they are real people, and you can contact them to have a yoga class, to have a feeling of the style of teachers that pass through Nydum
Little interview on the last day of the training.
Gaëlle, Sally, Constance and Sun talk about their experience at Nydum at the end of their Ashtanga Yoga Teacher training in May’22
And Rebecca and Molly on September’22
"An experience to live"
What an experience, what a training, what an incredible and amazing shared moment ! When I was searching a YTTC, I didn't expect to learn so much about myself, and especially to discover all the potential I have in the deepest part of me. At Nydum, the teachers are really exploring your physical and spiritual potential. It was the first time that I felt so grateful for my life, for my own being, and most of all, proud of it. Nydum is a sacred place, where you will feel safe to express yourself, to feel, to share, to connect with yourself and others, to develop your awareness, to realize how much you want to enjoy this life, to feel in the right place, at the right time... ! I can only recommend this place to achieve such a beautiful Yoga Teacher Training. Thank you, deeply and sincerely for this time, that I take care to keep alive in my heart.

"Magical YTT"
I fell in love with Nydum so quickly. The villa is in such a stunning area and the beaches in Sa Tuna are so pretty too. In terms of the building there’s plenty of space for everyone on the course to spend time together or alone. I’m also glad I choose the dormitory, there was enough space and it was a great way to bond with the others, especially if you’re someone who’s shy (like myself). The food was amazing Roushik is the best chef! All the teachers were so welcoming, passionate and kind, it made the whole experience entirely wonderful. Each also brings their own energy to class in the best way. They’re all more than happy to help if your struggling with anything and need support, it’s rare to find such caring people. The way things are taught worked really well and I feel confident in my ability to teach a class since leaving here. There’s something very magical about Nydum that I can’t fully explain. I never expected to feel so safe and connected with others or learn as much about myself as I did. If you’re thinking about booking YTT go with Nydum, you won’t regret it! I’m incredibly grateful that I choose to do my training here and I can’t wait to come back in the future. Thank you Nydum!💙

"An amazing experience I will never forget!!"
Summing up this amazing experience is a tough exercice but I loved EVERYTHING about my YTT in Nydum… ! The area, the place, the facilities, the whole curriculum, the activities, the planning, the teachers, the people, the food… There is an amazing balance between the physical practice, the philosophy and anatomy/alignement classes and all the other workshops/activities that we had. The participants’ emotions and well being are also at the heart of the staff’s concerns, therefore everything is made for you to feel happy throughout this journey.. You can also really tell that all the teachers are passionate about what they teach, which is really enjoyable! They give you all the confidence you need to be able to become a teacher. You will also enjoy so many amazing moments, human moments and become a very big family for 4 weeks! My experience at Nydum really went beyond my expectations… Everything felt amazing all the way. I really highly recommend this place to anyone still hesitating ! Come with an open heart and open mind, let go of your doubts and you will enjoy it as much as I did!

Interview to Ina, who did her TTC in 2019
Can you introduce yourself
My name is Ina. I am an Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher and Nutritionist and Teaching in my own online Yoga Studio at the beautiful small Island Norderney on the North Coast of Germany. I live right next to the beach and love surfing and going outside!
How long has it been since you took the yoga Teacher Training?
It’s been two years since my Teacher Training with Amelia and a lot has happened in this time! I did two additional trainings as Personal Energy Coach and Ayurvedic Nutritionist afterwards and founded my own Yoga & Nutrition Business.
What were you doing before the YTTC, How was your practice?
I was a dancer and I was really into every kind of sports. I started Yoga two years before the teacher training and I was focused more on the Body and “Asana”.
How did the training affect your practice?
After the YTTC my focus changed to all that yoga is beyond the Asana. I started Meditation, I was really into the science of Ayurveda and decided to do a training as an Ayurvedic nutritionist! Yoga brought so many beautiful things into my life!
Did you start teaching right after the training?
Yes! And I would recommend that to everybody! You learn a lot just by doing and teaching and I think it just takes some time to understand and let all the knowledge from the YTTC settle. I think it is the best way to remember all that you have learned in the YTTC to just keep going and start teaching. Nobody is perfect and you will get so much useful feedback and such beautiful resonance if you just start!
What was the favourite thing about the course?
Of course the people! The small group of nice people and the lovely teachers that explained everything so well! And of course the lovely food and the beautiful landscape of Spain!
Can we find you teaching somewhere?
Yes you can find me teaching on my Yoga-Veranda online. So you can join me from everywhere in the world! Just find me under @inas_yogaveranda on instagram or have a look on my website: yogaveranda.wordpress.com.
And hopefully soon I will be teaching right on the beach, too! Love to “sea” you and get to know you!
Thank you
What they think on the last day
Few different questions on the last days of their trainings, where they talk about what meant for them to do a Yoga teacher training in Ashtanga and Vinyasa
