“The Lotus Yoga Teacher Training I did with Meranda was transformational, and the most significant process I have been through in my life. I learned so much about myself, teaching and life in general. It was satisfying, educational, and taught me more than I can express in words. I am so grateful to have met Meranda. I am now teaching to adults and kids and am confident that I will live yoga for the rest of my life.” KP

“Studying yoga at the Lotus center has changed my whole life. I feel much more aware of my body and my thoughts. Studying with Meranda has been a true blessing. Her patient and non-judgmental approach is unlike anything I've ever experienced. I learned much from Meranda, not only during instruction, but by simple being in her presence. I will be forever grateful.” SH

“I have been practicing yoga regularly for about 12 years with several teachers and sampled different yoga traditions. When I enrolled in LCYTT I wanted to deepen my knowledge and understanding of yoga, not necessarily to become a teacher myself. The training fully met and exceeded my expectations. I started teaching even before the end of the course and continue to study and improve myself and share yoga with others. I have also gained a supportive and inspiring community of fellow yoga teachers. Meranda's approach is very nurturing. She aims at bringing out the best in each of her students.”MOH
