I always enjoy learning from Swami Saradandana, her style of teaching is an inspiring combination of clearly explained theory with a firm foundation of consistent practice, both built upon a wealth of experience. Learning under her tutorage motivates perseverance in the practice. ‍— Anneka, yoga practitioner & teacher, Dundee & Perth, UK

I thoroughly enjoyed the fascinating course and gained much more insight into ‘The Power of Breath’. I feel I gained a fuller understanding of the pranayama I practice and also teach. Thank you to the lovely Swami Saradananda for improving my practice and knowledge which will affect how I teach going forward. — Chiquita Varia, yoga teacher, Leicester

I have found that all your courses have helped to fill in gaps and consolidate that which I had been taught. I would recommend all your courses to other yoga teachers, especially ones that have only done 200 hr TT. Personally throughout each course with you my personal practice has evolved and become a more intrinsic part of my life……thank you. - Julie Kidd, yoga teacher, W. Midlands

This was a really wonderful online course. It was a good balance of theory and practice with just the right amount of home practice too. Revisiting and embracing the pranayama practices covered in the course has reminded me of the power of such practices and I have felt nourished and even more balanced than usual as a result. I highly recommend this course. Swami Saradananda is a fabulous teacher with a wealth of experience for sure..— Susan Spreckley, yoga teacher, Isle of Mull

An excellent course, which has helped me with both my personal practice and teaching pranayama.  Swami’s style keeps to the traditions of yoga without jargon, this helps with learning and developing the discipline required..— Anthea Sweet, yoga teacher, Barnet
