 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed my yoga teacher training journey with Sacred Body Studio and I couldn't recommend them enough 😊 Fabi and Ghislan were the most attentive, supportive and knowledgeable teachers I have come across. The small class number meant that we got nearly 1:1 support and guidance throughout. Thank you both again for such a wonderful experience ❤️ 🧘‍♀️I will hold dear to my soul 🧡

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed my Pilates Teacher Training at Sacred Body Studio and would highly recommend this course to anyone considering it. From start to finish, Fabi and Ghislain were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive -creating a really positive and encouraging learning environment.

I learnt so much throughout the duration of the course, both in terms of practical teaching skills and a deeper theoretical understanding of Pilates. The training genuinely deepened my love for Pilates and gave me a much greater appreciation for its structure and purpose. I now feel I have a far stronger grasp of the foundations of Pilates and how each movement is intentionally designed to support strength, control, and balance in the body.

Overall, this course was an incredibly enriching experience, and I’m very grateful for the guidance and insight provided by Fabi and Ghislain.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed the Yoga Teacher Training Course at Sacred Body Studio, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the very beginning, the program was well-structured, informative, and incredibly supportive.

The course provided a deep understanding of yoga beyond just the physical postures. The modules on anatomy, philosophy, meditation, breathwork, and teaching methodology were comprehensive and engaging. I particularly appreciated how the trainers balanced theoretical knowledge with practical teaching experience, which helped build my confidence as a future yoga instructor.

The instructors Fabiola and Ghislain are amazing teachers, so knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing their expertise. I would definitely recommend this course

This training is guided by the Sacred Body Method, an anatomy-informed approach that combines modern movement science with traditional yoga practices to support greater awareness, balance and wellbeing.

Rather than focusing on performance or achieving specific postures, we explore how the body and nervous system respond to movement, rest, breath and attention. You will learn practical ways to support regulation, recovery, self-awareness and long-term wellbeing. Throughout the training, you will experience these practices in your own body first, developing a deeper understanding of their effects before learning how to apply them personally or share them with others.

This training is suitable for anyone who would like to explore somatic movement, restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra and meditation in greater depth.

While both practices promote rest and recovery, restorative yoga works primarily through supported physical postures, whereas Yoga Nidra is guided through spoken instruction and awareness techniques.
