Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for you both. You have taught me so much over the last 8 weeks. You have blown my mind, challenged me beyond limits & given me so much knowledge that I will have forever to keep learning & growing. It is apparent the passion you both possess & I feel so fortunate to have gone through this experience.

Ida, the posture clinic and individual corrections that you provided were outstanding.
Again, my sincere appreciation for the time, effort and knowledge that was passed on to all of us.
I will continue to work hard with self determination and discipline to become the Bikram yoga instructor that both of you have challenged and pushed us to be.

Zandra

I had no idea what to expect from a science based 26&2 teacher training. 8 weeks of practice, loads of information and learning 90 minutes of dialogue? It seemed impossible and yet I reflect on my experience with adoration and confidence that I chose the best 2 people to learn from. Aaron’s approach to teaching was non traditional however, it was exciting, refreshing and IT WORKED! Ida’s knowledge about the mechanics of the body is almost magical to say the least. I graduated with everything I needed to be able to teach a wonderful 90 minute class. If you want to learn what is proven to happen to our body during a yoga class and with tangible data then I recommend embarking on your teacher journey with Ida and Aaron kicking your butts all the way to the podium :o) Iana E.

I’m thrilled that I found you guys! This course is extremely challenging, but I’m learning more than I ever could have imagined and there is no doubt in my mind it’s from the very best. My heart is full!

Kerri

Just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how much I’m enjoying the training. It’s completely beyond what I hoped it would be. I am learning a ton, and I find myself gleefully sharing interesting tidbits at the dinner table about: neurons, fascia, endothelial cells, cortisol, etc. It’s incredibly stimulating (and fun) to be a student again. I can see all of the work you’ve put into creating the content, and it is the perfect balance of challenging, engaging, and entertaining. Add to that Ida’s nurturing but critical coaching on the postures and dialogue… together, I feel like you’ve created something of real value, and I’m grateful.

Karen B.

I was thoroughly pleased with the education and assistance with my yoga practice that I received from Ida Ripley and Aaron Thomas during the personal practice Hot Yoga training. I would say that my expectations were met and exceeded by 5 times at least. Ida and Aaron make a great team. They were professional, approachable, reliable, and interesting. I could keep raving for another page or two but I think I made my point! I’m so glad I took this course, and I wish everyone that practiced yoga could take it. I hope this course is available for a very long time. I look forward to putting what I learned to use in my personal life and professional life as a swim coach and teacher.

With enthusiastic appreciation,

Jaime Roth

I was very pleased with my experience with the Original Hot Yoga Academy and so grateful that I decided to do it. I didn’t know what to expect based on much of the training being virtual but the training surpassed my expectations. Aaron and Ida are both wonderful teachers who truly go above and beyond for their students. The information they provide in the program is thorough, scientific-based, and well thought out. The expectations for students are high and it took a lot of time and work. Throughout the course of the program, I felt both supported and challenged. I learned so much and even was able to spend some time in Las Vegas at their beautiful studio where I was able to finish up my training. I truly feel that it prepared me to start my journey to be a confident and strong yoga teacher.

Sarah P.

thank you to @superyogiprincess and @ohyacademy for guiding me through it all! I could not imagine doing my training with anybody else. If you are thinking about becoming a yoga teacher in the 26&2 series I highly recommend their program!
