"I am truly grateful to Sadhita and Sudaka for all that I learnt and explored during the almost a year’s duration mix of on-line and residential course. My heart/mind will always closely hold the very fond memories of my time in beautiful Suryavana amongst the loveliest of people I have come across. I hope to return to Suryvana and Bodhiyoga soon for retreats and further learning and even to the Valencia region to follow my vision and hope of setting up my own yoga school somewhere around there in the not too distant future", Sangeeta Sedani, U.K.
"Sudaka and Sadhita enthusiasm and commitment to their own journeys really shines through in their teaching. The bringing together of the yoga and Dharma teaching is very effective, and the two elements complement one another well. I'm astonished at how much I've learned and feel well equipped to start teaching." - Katherine Denton, Newcastle upon Tyne, U.K.
"Sadhita and Sudaka are inspiring teachers and they have created a teacher training which is really valuable. Buddhism, mindfulness and yoga together offers lots of tools to help you grow spiritually. In three weeks I learned such a lot about myself, yoga, buddhism, mindfulness and much more. As a yoga teacher, I feel confident and ready to take my first steps in teaching and I am inspired to learn more on my Buddhist path." - Saija Taivalmaki, Finland
