Testimonials from Graduates
The training From Ayurvedaology Yoga Teacher Training Course has far surpassed any of my expectations. Bill is extremely comprehensive and knowledgeable of the entire practice. He really covered the whole spectrum of yoga itself including Ayurveda teachings as well. His coaching on how to teach made it easier for me to teach with ease and grace. Extreme depth and focus on all the asana's and breathing as well and as much practice as you need to get confident in teaching in any of the various class settings as well as different level students. I also loved that he explained the Ayurveda practices that correlate with the yoga practice super useful to really help your students blossom into the best yoga practitioners. I am extremely confident that i can teach any yoga class and share with all my students with the same depth and yogic understanding that Bill has instilled in me as a yoga teacher student. An amazing course for Amazing yoga teachers. I'd rate the course and teacher a 100 stars out of 10!!! :) Namaste

Having just completed my 200 hour teacher training with Bill Osmer, Ayurvedaology, I am thrilled to write this review. I’ve known Bill as my yoga instructor for 5 years, I knew I was in the right place to do my training. Bill’s program is very thorough, covering all the aspects of yoga; the physical, philosophical, Ayurvedic, business and ethics. His 30 plus years of experience provides a wealth of knowledge about teaching, classroom situations, and how to tailor my own teaching to suit individuals and their unique needs. In addition to being very knowledgeable, Bill is approachable and patient in his teaching style. The curriculum has a layered technique and we often circled back to prior topics to gain further insight. The program itself is very flexible and I found it easy to work into my schedule. Bill provided flexibility for lectures and practice along with an open invitation to return in the future to other training programs, whether to brush up or gain more confidence. I began practice teaching in short segments almost immediately and instantly felt encouragement and support from Bill and my fellow students. By the time I took my final and taught my first class, I was completely at ease due to all the practice. I feel confident that I have enough knowledge to create varied and interesting classes in the future. I will continue to seek Bill’s guidance along the way as I begin to teach on a regular basis.

I highly recommend this Yoga and Ayurvedaology School to anyone considering it. Bill is so knowledgeable with over 30 years of experience. More than that though, he is patient, kind, flexible with scheduling and above all, a good teacher who knows how to communicate the complex ideas behind Yoga and Ayurvedaology to his students so they can understand it and go on to teach it themselves. I feel very confident after completing this training that I can go out and teach yoga very well and because my knowledge base on these two topics is so great after this class I feel ready to answer any questions I might get asked as a yoga teacher. I am also now ready to adjust students in class, and to develop creative flows that will keep students coming back to my class. I thoroughly enjoyed this training program and I know it was so valuable in my own yoga practice and of course essential to teaching yoga in an effective manner as I go forward. Thank you Bill!

Great 200 hour yoga teacher training program with Bill Osmer/Ayurvedaology. Good focus on deepening knowledge about yoga and lots of classes practicing teaching yoga. This training improved my physical practice of yoga (asanas), taught a lot about the history of yoga, ayurveda, anatomy and physiology, and gave me confidence and proper background & techniques to be able to start teaching yoga. Highly recommended!
... Natalia Salo
Bill Osmer is extremely meticulous in his teaching program. He has studied the Ayurveda philosophy approach to yoga for over 20 years. The materials that he uses are very helpful in planning to teach yoga. He takes each pupil with their innate ability to do yoga and encourages them to reach their highest potential. I will continue to study with him to keep my teaching practice at its highest level.
... Mary Edmunds
Bill has been my yoga teacher for close to 11 years now and I have taken the teacher training program with his school. Though my initial goal was only to deepen my yoga practice, I actually became a professional teacher and enjoyed it.
Bill's program is unique that it goes way beyond just the physical postures (asanas) which is only one limb of the eight limbs of yoga. Bill takes the student deep into all aspects of yoga including breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation (dhyana). He also is a certified Ayurveda expert and educates the student on those finer aspects and the tie-in to yoga as a teacher and healer.
I would enthusiastically recommend Bill for yoga teacher training.
... Suresh Ravoor
The program offered by Ayurvedaology is versatile. Bill's teaching was also tailored to accommodate each student's background and needs as he gave individual coaching. Whether you are a yoga practitioner looking to take your own practice to the next level or planning to teach in the near future, this program will offer you a rich combination of theory, practice and philosophy.
... Spring Xu
I was extremely satisfied with the manner in which William Osmer aka Bill taught me the 200 hours of yoga teacher training because anatomy was a solid part of the training which was felt practically in the postures and breathing. He is very knowledgeable in yoga philosophy and ayurvedaology and he passionately taught us, never getting tired of explaining everything, and answer numerous questions the class always asked. Bill is a very supportive yoga teacher, giving his students 1:1 personal attention, and when a pose was called he always explained about what happened in the body. He taught us ethics and the business of yoga which is very beneficial . Thank you Bill for showing me the art of teaching yoga, but most of all for giving me space to grow and let me find my style, my voice!
... Elena Chifu
I was always amazed by the interest he shows to acquire more knowledge and leverage it in teaching. I have not seen any situation where he does not have proper answer whenever I asked any questions regarding yoga. I am really impressed by the depth of knowledge he has in yoga. Bill has got very good communication skill to explain the subject in a simple and systematic way, which will make any student comfortable and confident about Yoga, Initially I joined in the course with out any prior experience in teaching yoga but his simple and friendly lectures helped me a lot to get up to the speed and excel in yoga. Bill shows enormously great patience to make anybody comfortable in the subject. As I said earlier, he has spent so many hours with us to explain various techniques which make students thorough in teaching yoga. Bill is not only friendly but also is gauging our strengths and weaknesses as students. He displays a genuine concern for the advancement of his students. As a mentor he freely shares his knowledge and experience and helps us to be confident. In a nutshell, Bill is extremely knowledgeable and we wish to see more students graduating from this great teacher! .

Bill Osmer is the most qualified and best yoga teacher I have met. He took great care and put a lot of time in helping me succeed to become the best teacher possible. He is patient, timely, helpful, and it is obvious that he enjoys and thrives in teaching yoga. Mr. Osmer gave me so much encouragement along the way, always telling me that I have unlimited potential. I truly loved his class and style of teaching. I would totally recommend taking his very personalized yoga teaching program and regular classes.
... Tara Choudhry
Bill is a great teacher. I was introduced to Yoga as a kid in India, but it is with Bill I learnt the correct alignments for each pose, science behind Yoga and how each pose impacts different muscle groups. Even though I finished my RYT-200 training and teaching professionally, I continue to learn a lot from Bill both as a student and as an instructor.
... Chalana Bezawada
I had the pleasure to take the 200 Yoga Teacher Training with Bill. It was a great learning experience that prepared me to be a highly skilled yoga teacher. His style of teaching gives you the ability and advantage to start teaching your own style/format of yoga. I found him to be very approachable when it came to asking questions and would highly recommend his training.
