“When I started considering yoga teacher training with Roger and Albina, I was more interested in taking the training to bump up my practice rather than to actually teach, and I ran this thought by Roger.Â
He said I would certainly feel the benefits in my practice. However, he said, the most important thing people get out of the training, much more important than learning how to lead a class through some asanas – is finding out how to show up in your life completely and powerfully, by being fully and authentically present as a whole human being.Â
That wasn’t quite what I had expected for a course description. I knew I had a little room to stretch in that area, though, and I remember I had decided to sign up before he finished the sentence.”
-Frank Briscoe   Â
“Yoga Teacher Training with Roger and Albina was a life-changing experience. Â In a completely supportive environment, I was able to come more fully into my yoga practice, sense of self and personal power.
Roger and Albina’s compassionate and inspired presence create a loving atmosphere where it’s ok to just be yourself. Â I was able to open up in a whole new way, forge deep connections and cultivate a greater sense of my own inner strength. Â Enrolling was one of the best decisions I have ever made – and I don’t say that lightly!”
-Marci Sharif
“Yoga Teacher Training with Roger and Albina was simply amazing. Â For those 10 days I was able to put my life on hold and really focus on me. Â It took me out of my comfort zone on a daily basis, but at the same time, I have never felt more comfortable to be myself. Â This training taught me how to feel again.
Taking this training was the best decision of my life. Â Despite many years of drug abuse, I am now on a path of healing. Â I now have space in my physical and emotional body to stand up and live a happy and fulfilled life.”
-John Coakley
“This yoga teacher training was not about asana. Â I learned I can make a difference, to contribute to the world around me. Â In order to be a great servant, I had to let go of some things to clear out my space, to serve with truth. Â I was being cleansed. Â All the tools I gained and the knowledge I learned helped me express who I am for others in and out of class, off and on the mat. Â I commit to being authentic when I lead and to speak from my truth.
I thank Albina and Roger and my entire group during that transformational Yoga Teacher Training for being a part of my journey.”
