From Our Students

As a yoga teacher, Cynthia is unparalleled. Yoga Sanctuary Academy’s YTT curriculum is full of incredible teachings – from movement, philosophy, anatomy and practical knowledge – I promise you will not only learn, but you will grow. More importantly, you will gain the wisdom and knowledge she has built over her years of teaching, ensuring you are equipped with far more than just the basics of yoga. On a personal level, Cynthia has taught me that yoga is so much more than asana – it’s a way of being. And once you learn that, you can’t go back. Cynthia is a consummate professional, kind, human, loving and brings impressive experience to all her teachings. She is the perfect guide through a life-changing journey.

“When I did my teacher training program with the Yoga Sanctuary Academy I didn’t know what to expect. Not only did I have an incredible time, I truly did deepen my practice and my understanding of yoga. I also grew tremendously in my personal life and feel as though it has changed my life in a huge way. Thank you so much to all the teachers and friends that made that experience what it was and still is. If you are considering a teacher training program, I would highly recommend this one!”

“Words cannot begin to express the gratitude I feel toward Cynthia Funk and the Yoga Sanctuary Academy. I began my Yoga Teachers Training in 2004 and went on to do the Advanced Teachers Training 2 years later. I have nothing but the highest regard and respect for the quality and level of training which I received during both of these programs.”
