This was a fantastic journey inward, held in an incredible, peaceful space.

My yoga teacher training at SŌMA yoga was a truly incredible experience. It transformed my life both on and off the mat. Jonah created such a unique, compassionate space for our sangha. Jonahs guidance through the Kest linage left a lasting impression I will carry off the mat into the yoga community. I am eternally grateful and cannot wait for the next training 🫶💗

This yoga teacher training far exceeded all my expectations. It allowed me not only to deepen my practice, but also to grow internally in the way I perceive and experience the world, while gaining a deeper understanding of the origins and philosophy of yoga. Through practice, philosophy, and self-inquiry, I was able to explore yoga in a much deeper and more meaningful way, both on and off the mat. And of course, it taught me, step by step, how to teach a 7 Doorways Yoga class through understanding the intention behind each doorway. This style of class is both deeply rooted in the ancient traditions of yoga and modernized in a way that makes it accessible to people who may be less familiar with yoga. More than a certification, this training truly felt like a transformative journey that helped me cultivate greater awareness, confidence, and connection to my own potential and purpose. Jonah Polkes was an exceptional teacher, incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, deeply attentive to each and every student, both in the learning process and emotionally throughout everyone’s personal growth journey. I couldn’t recommend this training more highly!
