Testimonials:

"I always find it difficult to express myself in words when it comes to describe my experience of participating in Maja's trainings and workshops. This training has been amazing and more than fulfilling in terms of knowledge and experience thanks to a wonderful teacher and a super supportive group of co-trainees. It' definitely been for me a big step towards feeling more confident and inspired both as a yoga teacher and practitioner. Looking forward for the next step in May!"
Anna Petropoulou - October 2015

"A unique seminar for the teachers of yoga. An exceptional teacher Maja Zilih taught us how to lead our students to advanced poses with safety but also with lots of creativity. It was incredibly useful to me for preparing my classes, but also for sequencing my personal yoga practice! I am so excited that we will do it again, with more poses and transitions, with the view on the Aegean see, in summer 2016 on Paros." Georgia Georgoni - October 2015

"If you are a yoga teacher, you REALLY don't want to miss this!!! Maja Zilih is pure gold!" Wanda Pierri - October 2015
