“On the advice of my physician, I began to see Sandra Shotton to address a variety of health problems through yoga. I feel that Sandra and yoga have been instrumental in regaining my sense of balance and well-being.” 

MARK PESSIN

 “I love my weekly yoga class! I like the welcoming atmosphere where I can learn about the philosophy and psychology of yoga, along with the asanas and pranayama. Practicing with Sandra once a week helps me to take care of myself, thus helping me to live a more balanced  and positive life!” 

HEATHER SANRUD

“I have a strong interest in both hatha yoga and ayurveda. I knew the moment I heard about this offering that it was for me, and when I met Sandra I was completely sure. I am healing my body, mind and spirit and the environment is safe, intelligent and productive.  I have already recommended this program  (PAYTA) to many.”

”This training was intense, challenging, stimulating and rewarding. It also was well adapted to the needs of the group and flowed with a nice balance of activities and lectures. It was a life changing learning experience. “

Clinical Counsellor, Nanaimo (200hr YTT Graduate)

”My experience ( of the 200hr Yoga Teacher Training) has been interesting overall, I would say that I have experienced many positive changes in my life with the use of Yoga and the philosophy. Over the last month, during the course of the program, I noticed myself feeling more joy and happiness.  I am open to change more now so situations that once were buried are now open to surface and be accepted. I am more grounded and understanding, I could not say that with the same amount of confidence before this training.”
