"In a moment of time and life that was the most challenging of all, I was fortunate enough to be able to take Costa Yoga's 300 hr online training. During the pandemic I dove into this deeper study of yoga philosophy and way of life that I never really knew existed. I had always thought of yoga just as movement and stretching, but have come to realize just how much more it is. Mandy and her training provided me an escape while allowing me to dive deep into myself to help me through the pandemic, depression, anxiety all while furthering my education and knowledge of yoga. This training is not only worth the time and the financial investment, but it truly helps bring awareness to how full circle a yoga practice is to the meaning and quality of life. I am beyond grateful for all that Costa Yoga, Mandy and this 300 hr training has provided me. I am so looking forward to sharing this knowledge with all of my students both young and old."

Owner of Kidding Around Yoga with Kristi

"After receiving my 200 Hr yoga teacher training, I realized there was so much more to learn! Mandy's 300 Hr YTT was the perfect choice. I felt like I was able to dive so much deeper into not only philosophy, but anatomy as well. The required readings and assignments pushed me to examine my own practice. I was able to learn so much more about Restorative Yoga, which is now something I insist on incorporating into my practice. Mandy is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and helpful and it is obvious that she wants to help everyone learn. I would HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone who is interested in continuing beyond their 200 Hr YTT. "
