From our Graduates
I honestly think this has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. It has changed my world, giving words to concepts I only had inklings of...the scope of Yoga, it's potential, how it could give my life so much more meaning. I truly feel blessed to have taken this course. Jay Suttonbrown is a talented and charismatic person with a lot to teach, both information and character. I see Yoga as an integral part of my future." - Harmonie, Haida Gwaii
"I highly recommend Manipura Yoga College for anyone seeking to complete their Hatha or Kundalini YTT. Jay is the real deal and will poke, provoke and challenge you to be the most authentic Teacher you can be!" -Gerald, Nanaimo
"Jay's energy kept us going, she was very good at explaining the process and how we may experience it- and she was right! The training was interactive, a good balance of written assignments, practical/practice and observing. It was like she was directing a symphony, it was a whirlwind, and there was a method to it all- in the end it all tied together nicely. This was an experience of a lifetime, I cannot put into words how transforming it was for me. Jay is experienced and is great at helping us along and getting us through the tough stuff. She is an inspiring Teacher, it was an honour to learn from Jay Suttonbrown." -Sherry, Burnaby
"During the Teacher Training and other Retreats I have done with her, I have been able to process SO much. She has definitely changed my life. She is still my mentor, and I talk to her pretty regularly, checking in on how my personal practice is going and my Teaching is going. She's super supportive."- Karen, Haida Gwaii
