My journey on the 200hr teacher training held by golden flow yoga was truly transformational.
Aeven along with the other teachers on the course gave fantastic instruction and held space with ease.
I loved the woman I met on the course and felt like I not only got to explore and learn to be a yoga teacher but also got to grow as a person and find myself after years of searching. This course has given me the grounding to become a successful yoga teacher and I am already out teaching 3 classes per week, 2 weeks out from finishing the course. Life changing experience thank you so much Aeven and Golden Flow yoga!

We are so lucky to be here. A 13-day immersion, while intense, is far easier to fit around work and family commitments than other teacher training options in NZ and abroad. This Golden Bay course was also a cheaper, simpler option than other studios in Wellington who require their students to go to Bali for three weeks or Australia for a month. Every day here I’m reminded I made the right choice for me. And it feels good.

I thoroughly recommend Golden Flow Yoga Teacher training... It was so great to be able to live on the grounds where we also where taught. Golden Bay is such a beautiful, perfect spot for a yoga teacher training – it literally can’t get much better than this – only a 5 minute walk to the beach with a sauna and the best, most nutritious, delicious caterer around for dinners. The dinners were a highlight every day – probably every mother who has to cook every day at home would appreciate them as much as I did.

Aeven you are an amazing yogi. You know your stuff inside and out and your passion for yoga shines all over this course. You have a very special gift for bringing people together. This is an inspiring course and encouraged me to be myself.

Aeven your teachings are clear and concise with humour which is important to me. I loved your neutral way of being with us and I appreciate that you are honest and say it like it is. I have learnt alot and I am really grateful for this experience and opportunity. I feel prepared to teach out in the community because of this course, thanks again!

“I am sooooo grateful to Aeven for allowing me to be an assistant on the most recent TTC course beginning in February, 2021.

The 2 week onsite immersion that went ahead in March 2021, as part of our course curriculum, was sooooo beneficial. Aeven (and several other amazing local teachers she invited), provided us with information, perspective, and attention, to their specific lineages of yoga and experience. I feel so blessed to have been able to volunteer as an assistant for this onsite immersion for many different reasons: a curiosity for the history of the yoga practice, a wish for more in-depth knowledge of the benefits of daily sadhana - which has manifested deep transformation within. It was an amazing opportunity for me to dive deeper into the teachings of yoga and connect ancient philosophy with modern wisdom… all in the name of finding balance and bliss in my own life! The Yoga Immersion allowed me to deepen my own practice, and share a creative space with other like-minded yogis in the beautiful spot in the magical Golden Bay. The lunches offered onsite were so delicious, healthy, wholesome - and made with a lot of love!

The main benefit for me, participating in this course - which included the yoga immersion - was spending time focusing on those connections between body, mind, heart and spirit. Similarly, the connection between the lessons available through the yoga teachings (and everyday life), was also highlighted during the program. Also, one benefit of an intensive course is the valuable relationships forged between students. The group created a safe space, physically and emotionally - giving me the opportunity to grow, create, and experience the curriculum as needed. I've definitely come away with practices I can do on my own. I'm so grateful to have met the other woman who have also dedicated themselves to the 14 week course and build a support network from here.

I would highly recommend this 14 week course, as well as the amazing opportunity to help assist should this position ever be available in the future.

I would do it all over again in a heart beat.

Peace,

-Jonelle

"It's been 2-years since I completed the 200-hour Teacher Training with Aeven at Golden Flow Yoga. And I still find myself learning from the teacher training manual we were given to support our ongoing professional training and development as Yoga Teachers. Our work as Yoga Teachers in our communities is needed now ... perhaps more than ever. I highly recommend Yoga Teacher Training with the teachers at Golden Flow Yoga."
