Testimonial

What They Say.

This is the first day of the rest of your life! The best investment of yourself! I will make a change of food in my life and cutting habits. I am in contact with the universal energy again since 7 years. Yeahaaa!

What I would say to someone who is interested in following the TTC is, ‘Do it’! It is not only a truly enriching experience, but one that has the potential to change your life. I absolutely loved the diversity of each day. The mix between theory, practice and different activities is fun and also keeps me alert and energized during the day. I also really, really enjoyed learning about the theory and background of Yoga, Indian philosophy and the Sanskrit language.

My perception of Yoga has changed, as it is more about all aspects of life then I thought. And also there is more behind the practical part which is only highlighted in Western Yoga. After following this course I will take better care of myself before others and tr to love myself more. Not to depend on others but myself and have more faith in the universe.

I liked all the useful lessons (life lessons) from Pinky and also the experiences she gave us. I love that that the class is not only theory but also direct application of what we learn. Keep going! I will talk about the good things and peace we experience here to my family & friends. Even my future baby was calmer in my belly. You brought peace to him too! Thank you.

I had a wonderful week where I got some of the answers I was looking for. Great introduction course to Yoga. I will learn more about this and start practicing. Of course I was hoping for Asana classes outside, that would have been ultimate, but doing it in the Yoga room was fine too. Great food, great people. I might come back to visit you guys and make some music. The meditation walks would have been more elaborate if there was good weather, but, then again, nicely solved.

Thank you Richard for the wonderful 5 days of Ayurveda Awareness. I learned a lot about eating for health and happiness. I particularly liked the way you were able to condence such a vast subject into bite size chews. The course was well structured and left time for questions, discussions and reflection. You also allowed time for activities to break down the theory e.g. herb walk and the vegetable curry preparation. It was a big advantage that we were able to do the entire course under the sun and in front of the lake! I would definitely recommend this course. Thank you!

Pinky is a wonderful teacher, teaching real Yoga and I really enjoyed learning about all of that. There is so much more to Yoga than just Asana’s, can’t wait to learn more from you. Thank you Pinky!!

I took a course on Ayurveda. What particularly appealed to me was the background of Ayurveda. More knowledge about diet and lifestyle affecting your health and how well you feel. I was surprised that Ayurveda gives a complete picture of a balanced lifestyle.

Anyone that wants to dive in the real meaning of Yoga and is willing to change should do this course with Pinky. She’s a really good teacher and knows exactly what you need. Thank you so much Pinky, we’ll definitely meet again!

This Teacher Training Course will change your whole life! I found out you are never done with learning and that with Yoga you can reach the highest states. After this education I will eat better, take more care of my body and keep learning about myself to improve. All of this was possible because of the dedication of the Teachers.

Before doing this course I thought Yoga was only Asana, untill I came to Centre Lothlorien for the first time and see a Yoga Way of Life. Now I can see how much knowledge there is inside the Yoga philosophy. I had never expected that I really like to give an asana class this much. I mostly liked the cooking Indian food with Pinky. Now I know I will live happier and healthier. It does not need to be perfect directly, but I follow a good path!

It surprised me how much the Teacher Training Course is life-changing for me. I will eat more healthy, will reflect more on myself, focus on positive points, have better control over my emotions and be less egocentric. I actually liked how Pinky provoked my ego, as that is where the change started. Also I liked the topics about knowing ourselves and helping ourselves to be happy. I really loved the people! This is an experience to help you understand yourself better. It will change the way to look at the world. You can get rid of some burdens and probably be happier!

This Teacher Training Course is firstly not about becoming a teacher, but about figuring out who you are and how you behave in life. It has changed my perception of Yoga 100%. The most I liked was that the TTC brought me back to my basis. What surprised me the most was that Pinky was able to break down my walls and was able to show me how I was thinking and behaving in life. I will now take time to work on finding my basis, finding my truth, letting go and finding love within myself.

It was even more 'about me' than I thought. I was aware before, that Yoga is much more than Pranayama, Asana and Meditation, but I didn't fully realise how much it is about the journey within, about self-growth, learning about yourself and making changes according to that. After completing this training, I know that I will give more priority to a good routine and good habits, including positive affirmations to myself. Centre Lothlorien is a good place for such an experience, you will feel that it can be a home away from home.

This is not just a Teacher Training Course, but this is changing your life. I was surprised by the beauty of this place and the people, but also by the way of thinking 'of the soul'. I especially liked the personal attention and the time spent on the life struggles, rather than just learning theory or asanas. If you are really ready to look at yourself in such depth, then this is a really nice place to go to. There is so much more to Yoga than just Asanas and this makes me curious to learn even more. This is just the beginning!
