“My YTT training with Donna and Larissa was, and continues to be (hands down!) the best "further education" I have ever done. The richness of the learning experience, the depth of the material covered and the opportunities for continued learning continue to enrich my life. I have achieved a personal goal of becoming a certified yoga teacher and continually notice how all that I have learned infuses all aspects of my life. The organisation of the material into 4 modules renders the training very user friendly and manageable for most busy schedules. I whole-heartedly recommend Ambassador Teacher Training to anyone interested in deep and lasting personal development. Namaste.” - Barb
“I really enjoy the insight Donna and Larissa give to all topics we cover. The material is covered very thoroughly but it’s your guys’ enthusiasm and openness to share your own knowledge and experiences that creates such a wonderful atmosphere. It is so inspiring and really makes me want to keep learning more and more. I also really enjoy all the opportunities to practice teaching.” - Anonymous

“What an enlightening and nurturing space provided by Larissa and Donna for my YTT training. They guide you through Your journey with expertise and Love. My last module was taken through Zoom as we were all in the middle of quarantine. I was hesitant and didn’t know if I’d get as much from it... it was ahhhmazing! Highly recommend this school and these 2 beautiful souls if your considering YTT. ♥️♥️♥️” - Bobbi

“Taking my YTT at Lahari Yoga was great! Larissa and Donna are 2 experienced instructors that offer not only their knowledge on yoga, but enjoy sharing their experiences and insights and encourage participants to do the same leading to interesting, lively discussions. I also appreciated the flexibility the 200 hour program offers which is broken down into 4 x 50 hour modules that don’t need to be taken sequentially. If you’re thinking about delving deeper into the world of yoga, I would highly recommend this program.” - Shauna
