After many months of searching for a reputable yoga teacher training school I contacted a yoga teacher of mine from many years ago, who incidentally evoked the inspiration of hopefully becoming a yoga teacher myself! She suggested I search on the Independent Yoga Network website as it is amongst two, the other one being the British Wheel of Yoga, governing bodies in the UK. She stated that any courses/schools that are advertised under either of these two umbrellas will be a recognised and accredited qualification accepted in the UK and Europe. I was looking to hold a qualification that is UK recognised and covered by insurance both here and internationally. Following a video call with Sadhita I instantly felt connected and had that ‘gut’ feeling that the Bodhiyoga 300hr YTT was the one for me. I enrolled on to the course in October 2020 along with a small group of other aspiring yoga students and after on-line 5-day foundation part of the course, meditation workshops and a couple of upper and lower body yoga weekend workshops I finally arrived in stunning Suryvana on the 1st October 2021 for the residential 2 weeks part of the course. I was struck by the breath-taking beautiful location of the retreat centre amongst the rolling Spanish hills and lush countryside near Valencia. The course was full-on from 7.30am to around 9.30pm daily. Sudaka and Sadhita’s style is very structured, thorough with a running meditative theme of mindfulness throughout the course. I loved their very considered step by step approach (also referred to as ‘Vinyasa Krama’) in taking us progressively through 11 main groups of yoga poses and teach us how to sequence classes to take a certain path of postures, arrive at a peak pose or explore a certain them for example back bends or standing postures complemented with breath-work. In addition what I found really helpful was the daily posture analysis and the invaluable practice of class-room teaching! The latter in my opinion is fundamental in building your confidence to becoming a good yoga teacher!

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 Suryvana 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.
