The Soma Yoga Institute Teacher Training exceeded my expectations. Liz Heffernan’s knowledge and kindness, along with inspiring instruction from Peggy Profant, Samantha, and Molly, made the program deeply meaningful. The video lessons—especially in Yin Yoga—broadened my practice and enriched my understanding.Despite being online, the training was well-organized, engaging, and easy to follow. The small cohort created a warm, supportive community, while group exercises encouraged connection and hands-on learning. The pace, clarity of materials, and professionalism of the instructors left me confident, inspired, and ready to continue my yoga journey.This program was more than a certification—it was truly transformative.
Soma Yoga Institute’s trainings are therapeutic, transformative, thoroughly planned and thoughtfully structured. I just completed my 200 hr online teacher training with them and already signed up for the 300 hr in-person program next summer. I immediately received all the necessary information, including food preferences and travel insurance. Soma Yoga Institute always creates a trustworthy and reliable experience. They are very approachable and quick with responses to inquiries. Teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and highly skilled in creating safe learning environments from near and afar.
I took the 200 hour teacher training in Costa Rica from The Soma Yoga Institute. The teachers cultivated a warm and supportive environment to learn a lot of information in a short amount of time. This training balanced the fundamentals and spirituality of yoga, providing a solid foundation for me to teach yoga in the future.
The 200-Hour Costa Rica Yoga Teacher Training has been a truly transformative experience. What stood out to me most was the high-value, knowledgeable content and the wide variety of topics—especially the focus on yoga therapy. The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, with a depth of understanding not just of the physical practice, but also of yoga’s philosophy, history, and lifestyle. This opened my eyes to a much richer and more meaningful perspective.The training went far beyond poses and sequences—it helped me understand yoga as a way of life, a philosophy, a practice, and a community. I now carry with me a stronger foundation in teaching and a deeper connection to myself and to others. I feel confident, prepared, and genuinely excited to begin sharing yoga with others. With the skills, insights, and experience I’ve gained, I’m ready to hold space, guide students safely, and teach from a place of authenticity and heart.I leave this experience recharged and inspired, with the energy and clarity to live more fully in my own unique way. I’m so grateful for this journey and the wisdom that was shared throughout. Highlights included Ayurveda and chakra studies, chakra painting, and the morning yoga practices that anchored each day.
Working alongside Soma Yoga Institute has been an incredibly enriching experience. Their commitment to integrating therapeutic practices with deep yogic wisdom truly sets them apart in the field of yoga education. What struck me most is their unwavering dedication to body inclusivity and emotional wellness—it’s not just something they teach, it’s something they embody in every aspect of their work.The team, led by the inspiring Liz Heffernan, brings a remarkable level of professionalism, care, and insight to everything they do. Whether discussing curriculum or witnessing the supportive mentorship model in action, it’s clear Soma fosters not just skilled yoga teachers, but deeply compassionate leaders. Collaborating with them has given me a front-row seat to the kind of transformative impact thoughtful, evidence-based education can have. I can absolutely see why they’ve earned the title of Best Yoga Teacher Training in the U.S. for 2025—it’s more than well deserved.
Amazing first 200 Hour Training with Soma!! I knew Soma as the school for me when I found them online, but the experience far exceeded my expectations. Instruction was delivered with such authenticity and a huge breadth of knowledge, making it modern, relevant, and digestible. The adaptability of teaching, meeting the class where they are and allowing time for growth, was truly exceptional. So grateful to Liz and Peggy to have been able to begin my "true" study of yoga with Soma. I look forward to more opportunities to learn through the amazing programs you have created.
Words will never do justice in describing the phenomenal experience I had as a student in Soma Yoga Institute's Costa Rica RYT-200 Training Program. This experience opened the door to new paths and options in yoga for me. It has also added great insight and value to my continued journey in self-discovery and building healthy relationships with myself and others. The program was well-rounded, thoughtful, and insightful. It introduced me to areas of yoga that I was unfamiliar with and that I thoroughly enjoyed learning about. The training also provided extensive knowledge and experience in areas I was already interested in, such as trauma-informed practices, alignment, therapeutics, and somatic. Peggy and Liz are top-notch teachers, and their genuineness shines through. My confidence in things I've always enjoyed but never externally pursued is through the roof. I'm excited to see what happens next.
It was a very well-paced learning experience! They balanced practice, learning and studying in a beautiful setting. Liz and Jess, the instructors, were a perfect blend so that we learned from two different styles and perspectives of yoga practice and instruction. They created a safe space for learning and self exploration.
