Dear Paul & Marie,
Thanks to you two I have found my new passion in life-Yoga! I was first introduced to it about ten years ago but didn’t fully embrace it then as I do now.
I was so fortunate to find your internet website. Something about it really triggered my enthusiasm to learn as much as I could about all sides of Yoga. Your program taught me things I never even knew existed and has changed my life in many ways. I would heartily recommend it to anyone who truly wants to learn and understand Yoga.
I especially appriciated the quick replies you had to all of my questions.
Thank you so much for helping me make a positive lifestyle change. I’ll hope to continue to advance and learn-and pass that knowledge along to others.
I’m in this for life now and it’s exciting to know my quality of life has been greatly improved.
Namaste,

Dear Paul,
Just wanted to thank you so much for the great experience I had getting my certification through your program…
After doing some research on the different options available for certification I found your web site and decided that you offered the best value not only financially but also educationally.
You offer a well rounded and well organized manner of learning the material…..I found the option to receive the material in three separate portions to work really well for me financial as well as making me get through a specific amount of material at a time rather then my trying to figure out how to get through it all on my own….
Beginning with reading the books and then taking the written exam; the order of the questions and the questions themselves gave me a great balance of information that turned the test into more of a reference manual of 35 pages then a test….
The practical videos that showed teaching material as well as the videos about the anatomy and the meditative side of yoga were very helpful in putting together a well balanced practice of yoga for my students.
The one hour video showing me teaching my class was a great way for me to see how I teach and perform the asanas…. something that you don’t get to see otherwise…. not only did you need to see how I teach but I did also…
You always answered my questions promptly and kindly and made me feel like I can come back anytime with issues as they come up over time…..it is a great feeling to know that there is all this support behind me as I go forward from this place….
I am now teaching one class 3 days a week at my club and have already increased my regular students to 16 people…..most come 2 times per week some three……will continue here and see how it goes…may look into finding a few more classes in the future but for now this is a good beginning.
Thanks again for everything…I would recommend your program to anyone who is looking to give themselves a great education in yoga.
Sincerely…
Namaste….

Good Afternoon Paul,
Please accept my apology for having taken so long to write this. First of all, please accept my expression of gratitude for the yoga teaching program “Camp in a Box” which has allowed me to become a certified yoga instructor. I learned so much, and can’t tell you how much this will mean to my life.
This program opened my eyes to so many things. I will use all that I have learned, will take the time to learn more, and will be taking more courses from Aura Wellness. Your support throughout the time I was studying was wonderful. I didn’t use it a lot, but always knew it was there if I ran into any roadblocks.
Thank you for your constructive criticisms upon my completion of the program. I will take all that you said to heart.
Looking forward to a continued relationship as I forge forward to a new career. I will be retiring from the University of Northern Colorado, after 23 years of service, at the end of July–that will mark the real beginning of my yoga teaching career.
Once again, thank you.

I was very happy when my Aura Hatha Yoga Teacher’s Diploma arrived last week. I was impressed by the thoroughness of the program: the books and dvd’s were excellent and I just love the Chakra Kit.
I have been teaching yoga for years and by following the program of Aura Wellness Center I finally got my Hatha Yoga Diploma. I was able to learn a lot of things I didn’t know already. My teaching skills have improved.
I can recommend this teacher’s training to everybody: it is thorough and the information in the books is valuable. What I liked most of all was that I could practise at home and in my own free time: as a Naturopath with my Natural Medicine Practice at home I am able to fill in my own time.
I now teach two yoga classes a week and from September onward I will even teach five classes a week (two of them are Kundalini Yoga, a teacher training I followed and completed this year as well). Plus: I have formed an allegiance with a Macedonian friend and we will start teaching yoga for Companies in Macedonia!
This Aura Yoga teacher’s training will open doors for anyone!
In truth and light,

Thank you so much for this eye-opening and inspiring experience. Doing your program through distance learning was absolutely ideal and I can’t wait to do the Kids Yoga Teacher Certification program. This has opened a lot of doors in the yoga and dance world for me – I’m very grateful.

I hold Aura Wellness Center with high regard It’s teacher’s training program went beyond what I anticipated for an online training program. Because of my location, Newfoundland, Canada it is very difficult to almost impossible to find in-depth training. I searched and researched the internet and came upon this “Camp-in-a-box” for Hatha Yoga. I did quite a bit of reading and returning to this site until I was satisfied with what they had to offer and gave it a try because I was always interested in Yoga. I never looked back! Even through my setbacks, Aura Wellness was very supportive.
From the outset, I was not dissappointed. What was expected to be achieved by this course was a true understanding of Yoga through a detailed questionnaire after reading the books, watching the DVD’s, studying the Chakra System. All this material and more was supplied by Aura Wellness for your training, A true demonstration of your knowledge (via DVD) after study and an actual write up on yoga’s relationship to health was expected after the above was achieved. Then came the grading…..Very Professional.
My experience with this course was exceptional. Aura Wellness was only an email away. Responded promptly to any questions I had. Just there for you and your success! But, success does not come easy; for each part of the course, you would have to study and restudy and practice in order to be successful. Rest assured, if you succeed and receive your diploma, you will have earned it! Both parties work very hard together for success and Aura Wellness will indeed be recommended
by me as a very reputable Yoga Center

Dear Paul,
Thank you for the wonderful Yoga Training Program. The materials were wonderful and the weekly newsletter was awesome. I learned so much. I liked being able to replay the DVDs and CDs to refresh my memory. I read the books over and over, always picking up new information. I have taken traditional Yoga Trainings but they left me exhausted and overwhelmed. I work full time and need the weekends for my home and family.
I feel great that I have completed another milestone in my life. I like to keep my brain active! Take care and God bless. If you are ever in Maine in the summer, let me know.

“Dear Paul
I was thrilled to receive my Yoga Teacher Certificate, and very appreciative of your collaboration with the timeline in the marking of my exams. Already having quite a bit of Yoga experience and knowledge, I needed to formalise it so as to have my certificate by October this year, as at the end of October, I was running a Retreat in Bali, of which Hatha Yoga was a component. There was a slight mishap with my practical exam, which made it difficult to mark, but regardless of that, you did, and consequently I had my certificate in time for my retreat, for which I am very grateful.
I found the course materials in Camp-in-a-box are comprehensive, easy to understand, well laid out, and with suggestions for further reading and investigations. They also challenged me sometimes in re-examining my previous perceptions and understandings of Yoga, and so expanded my awareness.
You were always very prompt with replying to my emails and very obliging with the quick marking of my exams, as I said above.
I have now included Yoga teaching as part of my health business, which was something I had been wanting to do for some time and am very humbled to see the benefits to my students in such a short time, in relation to their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Their feedback consists of increased physical flexibility and strength, better and more restful sleep, increased levels of calm and increased energy levels. Thank you Paul, as by providing a course such as Camp-in-a-Box you made it easier for me to gain my certificate, as I would not have been able to take time out of my work schedule to complete a teacher training course on-site, and so provide such a service to my clients and students.”

Namaskar,
Words can not explain the joy this course gives. It is so well presented with great resources and the very clearest of steps. The teachings are amazing! The course allows for life with freedom to study when you can and gives so many the oppurtunity to grow in personal yoga or in teaching. Its a great journey one I recommend with my heart and soul, thank you Paul for your great work in giving this gift to the world,
Namaste,

My name is Justin Kiely, I am a 30 years old Australian and have just completed Level 1 diploma of Yoga Therapy which took me approximately 15 months to complete (2 years was allowed).
Before commencing the diploma i was a student of Iyengar for 2 years so i had an interest in Yoga and more importantly a practically background.
The work load involved in the diploma is demanding,especially the written work (time demanding), but once you commence the first parts it seems to role through quickly.
Now the diploma is complete i think it wasn’t that difficult it just requires good time management and good computer skills, but the time allowed is more than generous to complete the diploma.
Professionally i am a soft tissue therapist and I now incorporate Yoga Therapy into my injury management and prevention services, which is a great preventative for many muscular skeletal pain and dysfunctions, not to mention the psychological benefits for stress affected clients.
I would have now hesitation in recommending anyone with an interest /passion in Yoga to do the courses held through Aura Wellness Center, it has greatly improved my theoretical knowledge of yoga and practically improved my knowledge on how to conduct and plan session for clients with particular ailments and associated issues.
Kind regards

Being a single mom in a town where certification training is not offered, I was relieved to find that Aura Wellness Center had the option I was looking for: studying at your pace, on your own time, from anywhere. I first inquired about the programs and found that my questions were thoroughly and quickly answered. Time was taken to help me, even though I was not yet a student. During my studies, If there was something I did not understand, that was also quickly explained as well. Without changing my work or parenting schedule, I was able to become a Certified Meditation Teacher through Aura Wellness Center and am very excited to start my journey. I plan to take more certifications through them soon!
