This training was a gift, and I leave feeling incredibly grateful for the experience. From the very beginning, everything was handled with care. The booking process, payments, airport pick-up and drop-off, and all of the communication leading up to the trip made the experience feel smooth and stress-free. I always felt supported and well informed. Vikasa Yoga Resort is a truly beautiful place. The property, the shalas, and the surrounding nature create such a special environment for learning and self-discovery. The staff is AMAZING! . There is something magical about spending a month immersed in practice, surrounded by people who share the same passion for yoga and personal growth. I loved meeting Jonah. Learning from a carrier of the Seven Doorways lineage was deeply meaningful to me. This method has changed my life in many ways, so being able to continue learning directly from someone within the lineage felt very assuring that this method still works and people still connects to it. The classes challenged me, inspired me, and gave me so much to reflect on, both as a teacher and as a person, a reminder to go back to the basics. I also want to acknowledge all of the facilitators who shared their knowledge throughout the month. Each brought something unique to the experience. Kirstie kept the timing and topics on check, her ideas and comments were very mindful and helpful, her classes were also very inspiring. Christian's anatomy classes were exceptional. He made anatomy practical, interesting, and easy to apply to teaching. Jovan's workshops were another highlight. His knowledge, passion, and way of sharing were truly inspiring. Yogi Alex with philosophy is also a great addition to the overall knowledge of yoga. I also appreciated how well the training was organized. The schedule flowed well, the facilitators were punctual, there was a wonderful variety of topics, and the group discussions and collaborations made the learning experience richer. Beyond the curriculum, one of my favorite parts was simply meeting so many beautiful people from around the world. The friendships, conversations, and shared experiences became just as valuable as the training itself. The spaces without phones felt especially meaningful and supported a deeper level of reflection and connection. Overall, this experience gave me what i went for. I leave with new knowledge, meaningful friendships, a deeper appreciation for this lineage, and a renewed sense of trust in myself and my path. Thank you to everyone who poured their hearts into creating this training. It is an experience I will always carry with me. With Metta!.

The trip itself was incredible. A brilliant curated group of individuals that set out to support each other in getting our 300hr YTT. Vikasa is unmatched with hospitality and even though I was staying at Coral Cliffs, it all worked out seamlessly.

I feel very quiet while writing these words. I am trying to find the right ones to express how humble and transformed I feel after those weeks of YTT led by Jonah and his wonderful team of most inspiring and dedicated teachers. I feel a whole universe opened up to me that I never want leave and wish to continue exploring. Again, it is not easy to find words as the heart speaks another language. I cannot be more thankful. Lots of love and gratitude.

I attended a 20 hour Art of Vinyasa training in Miami this past February. I went in open and left completely transformed. I loved the way Jonah pushes you to really discover your edge; I have a tendency to sometimes pull back when I am tired or not sure I can keep flowing/hold posture, and what I discovered in this training was that my capacity to stay and breathe even 5 more breaths is SO much more than I had been giving myself credit for. If you are looking for a community of yogis who will INSPIRE, motivate and elevate you, you will find it with Jonah and Kestyoga. I cannot wait to attend a future training.

Jonah Kest’s 20-hour Become a Yogi Retreat was nothing short of extraordinary. His teaching style blends wisdom, authenticity, and humor, creating an experience that feels both challenging and accessible. Jonah’s incredible creativity in guiding posture transitions kept each practice fresh and inspiring, while his attention to creating a sacred space added a powerful layer of intention to the retreat. Every detail felt purposeful, leaving me deeply connected to my practice and grateful for the experience. If you’re looking to elevate your yoga journey, I highly recommend this retreat — it’s an unforgettable experience with a truly gifted teacher. Thank you, Jonah, for an inspiring and transformative weekend!

I had the pleasure of taking Jonah’s 20-Hour Art of Vinyasa Training in Miami. I didn’t realize how much I needed this training. I was feeling a bit stagnate in my teaching and in my practice and it felt like a creative reset-like someone lit a spark that had been dimmed by staying in my comfort zone. I came back to my own practice and teaching with a renewed sense of purpose, fresh inspiration, and a deeper love for yoga. Jonah’s approach is unique and powerful. He has a way of breaking things down that makes you see Vinyasa in a whole new light—blending strong, intentional sequencing with a freedom that encourages creativity. His style is refreshing, informative, and pushes you to think outside the box while still honoring the roots of the practice. The only thing I would have loved more of is the spiritual side or more integration of yoga philosophy. But overall this training was exactly what I needed. If you ever get the chance to learn from Jonah, do it. You’ll leave feeling re-energized, inspired, and more connected to your practice than ever.🧘‍♀️
