Reviews of Sun Power Yoga Ltd Teacher Training

M. P.

Anne-Marie is very passionate about her teaching and she expects the best from her trainee teachers. Her knowledge and application of yoga philosophy, physiology and anatomy are outstanding. I am very grateful for what I have learnt during my training with Anne-Marie. I am certainly going to treasure, deepen and share that knowledge with my students. The Sun Power Teacher training course is undoubtedly very intense, so be prepared to work hard, not just on the training days but throughout the duration of the course. However, this course is also very rewarding and what you learn will stay with you forever.

P. D.

I trained with Sun Power Yoga and am so glad I took the course. The expectations are high. As is the standard of teaching. This is not a course where you pay for a certificate. Anne-Marie is not afraid to fail a student that isn’t ready to teach others. She can be a task master and can also be incredibly kind. The days are long but rewarding and you will make friends for life. If you are serious about being a great yoga teacher then I can totally recommend the course. Before doing any Yoga Teacher Training you should always attend a taster session as everybody is different and some will need a gentle softly softly approach.

Sun power yoga teacher training school is outstanding and professional school. I began my yoga journey with the school in 2006. Anne Marie’s knowledge and teachings are amazing. I learnt so much and she give you the tools to be a very competent yoga teacher, with high accreditation’s so you can teach anywhere! I have also don’t my 500hrs with Anne Marie and have also worked with her, she truly is the mum of yoga, I now have my own yoga lodge in the countryside. Thank you for all your support. blessings Anne Marie x

Anne-Marie is an incredible teacher. She is the most knowledgeable yoga teacher I have ever met and her teacher training course is rigorous and comprehensive. As well as providing a really detailed understanding of all aspects of yoga, both physical and spiritual, Anne-Marie also provides a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology which is absolutely crucial both to ensure that training teachers and students enjoy and get the most out of their yoga practy but also to ensure that as teachers we help our students to understand the importance of correct alignment in every pose to prevent injury. I have a long-standing and ongoing knee injury which happened long before I met Anne-Marie and which was as a result of my lack of knowledge on the importance of correct alignment and listening to the body but also because none of my teachers provided this crucial element that should be a key part of any yoga class. (But of course before I met Anne-Marie I did not know this). Anne-Marie has helped me to continue to practice yoga despite an injury which has quite seriously impeded my range of motion permanently, and to teach competently, confidently and safely. Anne-Marie also provides endless encouragement and enthusiasm for yoga which is such a huge gift that she gives to training teachers and students. Anne-Marie firmly encourages us to understand that yoga is for everyone - with so many benefits for both physical and mental health and wellbeing for all. Anne-Marie also takes the responsibility of training us to be teachers very seriously which means the training is tough (as it should be) and a high-level of discipline is expected to ensure that teachers who qualify are not only fantastic at making yoga enjoyable and accessible for all but also that we are able to share knowledge of the benefits of yoga and, perhaps most importantly, keep our yoga students safe. I know of numerous yoga teacher training programs and have attended yoga classes with different studios all over the UK and from the quality of teaching I have experienced I can say that Sun Power Yoga is definitely the best teacher training course anyone can do

I completed my SPY 200hr training in 2017 and can honestly say it changed my my life. It was incredibly tough with long hours and lots of homework, but it was also very rewarding and I'm now able to pass this knowledge on to others in my own yoga classes. This is an intensive teacher training course, not a retreat! Anne-Marie has an incredible amount of knowledge and pushes her students as she wants them to succeed. She has had to work hard as a woman and mother to build a business, and her attention to detail, drive and passion have ensured that she and her wonderful team continue to develop highly skilled and devoted SPY teachers.

Anne-Marie's Sun Power Yoga Teacher Training is of the highest standard giving 110% to her students, passionate and extremely dedicated. As a mature student she gave me great support and guidance to become a Sun Power Yoga Teacher. Thanks to Anne-Marie she has turned my dream into a reality...enjoying a successful career as a yoga teacher!

Y. P.

I guess I am one of the success stories of Anne-Marie and Sun Power Yoga. I took the course back in 2004 and boy did it raise my game. I learnt so much and became a different level of teacher. The standards and expectations are high but they need to be to produce knowledgeable teachers. Anne-Marie’s knowledge is truly awesome. As a result of the course my teaching business grew and client base expanded and I now teach at and own/direct the award winning STAMFORD YOGA LTD with over 10 teachers - 3 are SPY teachers ! Anne-Marie taught me flair in yoga teaching. She mixes the ancient, the modern, the discipline and the humour all into one. Sun Power is a great style. It’s one of the favourite classes at my studio. Respect Anne-Marie and her trainers. Come with open eyes, ears and heart and a strong work ethic and you will walk away with great dividends to add to the path of your yogic journey.

I did my original training with Anne-Marie in 2006 and she has been an important part of my continued development as a teacher since. Her knowledge and expertise are incredible. The courses are in-depth and hard work, and this reflects in the high standard of teachers she produces. I have the upmost respect for Anne-Marie, she has guided me both professionally and personally over the years and her continued devotion to the betterment of her school, and herself, is inspirational.

I trained with SPY in 2012. I chose this school because of the style - a mix of different yoga styles weaved together. I loved it from the start. The course is an intensive. So expect hard work. But it's worth it. Anne Marie is strict but fair..and to be honest she has to be because the course is short. I'm proud of my qualifications I achieved through SPY. Thank you Anne Marie.

My experience with Sun Power Yoga was incredible. The training was really in depth and rigorous and I came away feeling confident that I would be able to teach a wide range of people. I made some wonderful friends on the course, most of whom have become successful teachers. I am so happy that I chose sun power yoga and Anne-Marie to be my teacher. She is a really inspiring woman.

Taking the Sun Power Yoga Teacher training was the best decision I could ever make! Anne Marie is an exceptional, knowledgeable teacher that provides the basis of what real yoga is all about. There are many teacher trainings out there that claim to teach authentic yoga but they simply don’t. Sure, this training will absolutely challenge you in ways you have not imagined but it is 100% worth it! I was lucky enough to live in the UK at the time I took the training and have not found anything similar in the city of the US where I live now. I highly recommend the training if you are willing to work hard as you will become a Yoga Teacher and you will be leading people through physical and emotional conditions. You should not take that responsibility lightly. You need a training like this one to be well equipped and be a leader. It is sad to see reviews of people that attended only one day. Fast judgement and not giving the chance is never a good idea. I would like to take the 500 hr someday hopefully not too far on the future.

Anne-Marie is incredibly knowledgeable and she expects a lot of her students; the result is hundreds of successful teachers across the country. I completed the course with a full time job and I managed because I knew any YTT would be tough and I'd have to put the work in, including the 5am wake ups to practice and work - as you would training in India. I worked incredibly hard, it was tough, there were tears but I could not be any more grateful to the SPY staff for giving me the opportunity to change my life.

I successfully completed my 200 RYT training with Anne-Marie who was supported by Rita - many long, challenging but happy and exhilarating days in Manchester in 2013. Having gone on to be a full time yoga teacher I have spoken to many other teachers in the industry about their teacher training and I am certain that Sun Power Yoga and Anne-Marie Newland is delivering one of the highest quality and credible teacher trainings in the UK. Not only do you learn about the history of yoga, but you are immersed in strong thread of anatomy and practical yoga sequences. A teacher training is not a yoga retreat. It is hard work and challenging and emotional and exciting and frustrating and amazing and a massive learning curve physically, emotionally and mentally. It is not for the faint hearted - but Sun Power Yoga and the teachers who assist Anne-Marie in delivering the courses are all excellent practitioners and I am more than happy to recommend this school and the courses they offer to anyone who is committed to putting in the hard work. I love Anne-Marie, her family and her teachers. Viva Sun Power!

I trained with Ann-Marie of Sun Power Yoga a few years ago. I did the 200 hour training initially and the following year I completed the advanced training. I found her teacher training on both courses thorough with an immense amount of information on Yoga. I definitely recommend Sun Power Yoga school for anyone wishing to train as a teacher. Her first book is excellent and I refer to it constantly.

I. B.

Anne Marie's knowledge is outstanding. The course is intense and the level of homework, immense but the rewards are, that the information taught stays with you and you are moulded into the best teacher you can be. Too many courses these days are easy and people awarded the title of yoga teacher too easily without putting in the graft to earn that title. I've been on other TTC and the information didnt stick and everything was too laid back - it was shocking that they were allowing people out to teach with the little skills they had from the training. If you are willing to put the work in and willing to be worked hard both physically and mentally, then enrol with Anne. If you are the kind to break under strong, assertive teaching and a snowflake to criticism, dont bother.

I'm not a yoga teacher but over the years I have attended classes with several Sun Power Yoga teachers and can say that my experience of them has been fantastic. They are all highly skilled, professional and considerate of all levels of ability and experience. I feel completely safe and completely focused in every class and would highly recommend them.

Anne-Marie is trying to run a business in the yoga world, very difficult to do. I found the balance between ancient philosophy, and western business to be just right, she is knowledgable and friendly, and also a beacon of light. I found I grew from the course and it set me on my yoga journey which was fulfilling.

F. C.

This course left me a very strong and compitant yoga teacher ready and rareing to face my first class confidently. Remember if you are training for 3 months the work load is a lot so make sure that you are prepared to knuckle down and work hard. I made a lot of wonderful friends on this course, friends I know I will keep forever. The information I received will be a greatly nourished template for a future of learning on my path as a Yoga teacher. Anne-Marie is strict with standards and can be hard as safety is of her upmost concern. Listen learn and absorb.. I have only not given it 5 stars as I do believe that courses can always be improved.. I would have liked a little more business education in it as an optional extra .. how to market a course etc You have to be strong and willing to work hard on this course. It isn't a crash course! you get out of it what you put in and come out the other end hugely compitant if you want it.. thank you x

Not a trainee/graduate of the school, but I have witnessed first hand the teaching methods of Anne-Marie and they are superb. You'll work hard, but get a lot out of it too. Ann-Marie's attention to detail, enthusiasm, and ability to see all her trainees as individuals is second to none

I had been practicing yoga since my childhood in India and after coming to UK I decided to take a formal training. After some research, I decided to train with Anne-Marie Sun Power Yoga and I found it authentic, well structured and disciplined training. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn classic and authentic yoga.

S. T.

I completed my training with Anne-Marie Newland in 2013, best thing I ever did, it wasn't easy but I left the training with everything I needed to begin teaching. 7 years later I still teach this style and students love it. My Yoga business is thriving and I continue to grow as a teacher with opportunities coming my way often, so thank you Anne-marie

Anne Marie is the best and most accomplished and experienced teacher you could ever have or hope to learn from. I was lucky enough to do some of her classes. Any of her trained teachers’ classes are of the highest standard and the discipline they applied to their training is obvious. Highly recommended to anyone wishing to train here.

A. M.

I am surprised to hear all these comments. I went to a one day aqua yoga training. It was well organised, much cheaper then alternatives and had a lot of insight providing both inland and water training as well as detailed hand out with a ready to use class description. I hope Anne-Marie is well. As I can only attribute some of these comments to a difficult period in her life. Menapose can kill the best in most of us. Good thing - it is not for ever and we come at another end much stronger and wiser. All the very best to Anne-Marie. There are a lot if people around who remember and love you. Please remember about us when you read all these comments.

G. C.

Could not have imagined how much I would learn when I signed up for the two week intensive. Truly conscientious teaching. You’ll laugh, cry and come out a different person. It was not a walk in the park, but you will learn a lot and be immensely proud of what you achieve in the end! Highly recommend it. Having now completed my 200hrs I hope to continue furthering my knowledge of yoga with Anne Marie x

J. E.

I trained with Sun Power Yoga in 2016. The training is hard work, challenging and extremely rewarding. Be prepared to work hard both on the training days and the days in between. The depth of knowledge shared by Anne- Marie Newland is second to none.

V. P.

Thank you very much Anne Marie. I enjoyed this whole experience, it was life-changing for me. I learnt so many things in detail. I am sure it would have been different if the lessons were face to face but you put so much effort to make us feel comfortable that we never even realised that we were not together. You are not only a great teacher but a source of inspiration for me. The course itself is engaging, insightful and a lot of fun and the materials you have provided are really helpful.

M. M.

Anne-Marie is the best yoga teacher for yoga teachers. Her traditional way it’s not for everybody. But it is for those who want to dedicate their life and the way they live to yoga. Let’s be honest there is a yoga school on every corner now lots of people teaching watered-down versions of the real thing now if that’s what you want off you go to those schools. This is the real deal yes it will be uncomfortable at times yes you will have to look Into your true self and shed layers of your ego. If you are not ready to become the best version of yourself don’t step into the doors of this amazing teacher/warrior/goddess. However if you are ready it will be the best experience of your life. Ann Marie I honour you and thank you everyday I teach. You are my root. Aum shanti Aum 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

Fantastic professional teaching and training !!! Founded by an inspiring lady who lives Yoga and teaches from her heart and years of experience and wisdom. Recommend Sun Power Yoga for anyone wanting to pursue yoga as a career, or simply reconnect to themselves and learn skills for life.

The Sun Power yoga school has been training yoga teachers for over 15 years, about 50 each year. It is a thorough proffesional training, accredited world wide. The very few who leave on day one due for personal reasons, demanding reimbursmant despite having signed a contract, are perhaps not commited to the training. Bullying accusations are hardly relevant. Bullying is defined as repeated negative actions against someone over a periode of time. One day, and one comment would not meet this description. However, personal harrassment, spreading of negative rumours and extorting money on false pretences could indeed be defined as bullying and harrassment. I am myself a Sun power yoga teacher, and feel myself to be both surprised and offended by attempts to damage the schools reputation.

A. W.

I am learnong so much on this course. It is demanding but in a good way. Do you want to bexome agreat teacher or a mediocre one? Anne-Marie gives you everything she s got and oh my she knows everything. She will stretch your body and mind beyond what you could ever expect. Thank you for this wonderful journey!
