Testimonials from past graduates

"From the moment Cain began our first class, a sacred journey began for me and it is continuing each day hence. I 'became' a student of Yoga in Cain's class. And even more notable is my many fellow classmates had a similar experience. Cain's unique style of teaching allows for an integration of the curriculum that can't compare with most programs. My confidence, understanding and commitment to the philosophy and way of the Yogi is directly linked or yoked to Cain's ability and masterful teaching style. It's difficult to put into words the fullness that I feel as a student who participated in the teacher training program with Cain; suffice it to say that his example of being a devoted student of Yoga stands with me every time I place my bare feet on my yoga mat, how does one quantify that? My gratefulness will always be in abundance."  - Sincerely, Cynthia

"Cain Carroll and the program that he teaches have changed my life forever. I came into the program to gain personal knowledge and was shown a door opening to endless possibilities. He has not only given his students excellent instruction, but treated us with such respect and love that we in turn will pass on to others. He believes in us and that gift is so very precious. I, in turn, have the utmost respect and love for my teacher, Cain Carroll. His teachings will be with me always."

"Just take this course. Leave considerations at the door, show up, feel everything, come away with more than you can anticipate. Expect huge changes, challenges, deep love and a certainty that your life will be different--more colorful, more open, more brilliant. This is magical stuff."
- Sharman Summers

"Cain's ability to reach the hearts of his student's is profound. He treats everyone with respect and love, pushing us further into our own paths. Perhaps his greatest gift as a teacher is his absence of ego in the teachng process. It is never about him; it is about us and the material. He gives his students the tools to do their own work. It is very rare to find a teacher with an egoless approach. He's a model for my own teaching as well. To put it another way--Cain has not changed my life; Cain has given me guidance, instruction and tools to change my own life. He saw a me I couldn't see--and the more he showed me what he saw, the more I could move into my own truth."
- Laraine Herring, author of The Writing Warrior and Writing Begins With the Breath.

"I feel more prepared to meet whatever happens in my life with grace. The most valuable thing I've taken form this program has been the practice of meeting my thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and concepts of 'myself' with awareness. Pain and fear no longer frighten me as they did before!."
- Iris Marble Cushing

"Cain is a Yogi who lives, eats, breathes his Yoga, yet his teachings are accessible to the most elementary student. He has a positive, benevolent teaching style, always reminding the novice of Yoga basics, while challenging the more advanced practitioner to play to their edge. He is warm and humorous, well-read and eloquent, gifted and humble. A yoga student couldn't hope for a better teacher."    - Holli
