“Cuando comencé este curso pensé que, sentí que iba a cambiar varias cosas dentro de mí, y sí he sentido eso. Ahora han pasado estos 2 meses, he sentido como mi cuerpo se ha ido fortaleciendo, no solo fisicamente sino también yo como persona me siento mas querida por mi misma.” KATI G.

“Hey Fred! Hope you’ve been doing well man.

As you know I’m one of your YTT grads from a little over 3 years ago.

I’ve been revisiting the YTT stuff from back in the day, and I have to just say thank you so much. The resources you left us plus the knowledge and transformation you helped plant the seed has really been amazing! As we speak I’m reading over your textbook.

I wanted to know if there was a website you have in which I can leave an extensive 5-star review

Thank YOU for catalyzing tons of freedom through yoga in my life :)”

“Maestro Fred, Soy muy afortunada de tenerte como mi gran maestro y amigo, eres y serás siempre mi ejemplo a seguir!!! Gracias Fred por cambiar mi vida y gracias por compartir lo qué haces con nosostros! “

“You don’t have to believe anything Fred states about his lower back pain book, but take my word for it that there’s infinite wisdom and insights in his book and teachings. I am a hard core athlete, have always kept fit and healthy and could never figure out why my lower back pain was relentless. Until I read Fred’s book which inspired me to sign up for his yoga teacher class. Fred is a master on this topic, read his book, do his online course, and start living a happy lower back painless life…🙏🏻”

Hi Fred,

Just wanted to share something with you. My dad is 62 years old and has been practicing yoga over the last 7 years.

I think he is in great shape because of his yoga practice. But over the last seven years he has always been judging and judging himself about what he cannot do what makes him frustrated about is practice.

One of these things is his balance in postures. The day I left Miami, he asked me if I had learned something about keeping your balance. As an answer I mentioned to him that

you taught us to always be thankful for what we CAN do and how it has made such a difference in my own yoga practice.

When I got back home today I was talking to my parents on skype and my mom said: ‘I have a different husband.’

He told me how this morning in his yoga class he was focusing on giving thanks to all the things he can do. He said he couldn’t believe he had passed 7 years judging himself about what he cannot do.

I thought it was such a beautiful thing to share with you, because I was not even aware of the difference it could make for him. And now you see, I’m not even teaching yet, but my teaching through your teaching has already made a difference across the Atlantic!

So thank you for teaching me to always give thanks for what we can do.

See you tomorrow!

Dear Fred.

I cannot thank you enough for these 18 days of transformation I have experienced in all levels of my being. Sorry if my grammar is not perfect, I am writing straight from my heart (not from my head).

I would like to share this story, It took me over 2 years to decide where to take my teacher training. My first encounter was Mano with whom I practiced yoga for a very long time and he constantly encouraged me to take it there but I wasn’t sure, even though I feel a deep appreciation for his teachings. Then when I practiced with Paul Touliuzis, whom I also admire, he also motivated me to take it there but still wasn’t quite convinced. Where I practice now, the Yoga Joint, which is convenient since it is close to my kids school and has heat, they also insisted I was ready for their training but still wasn’t convinced, because it lacks spirituality. I also saw other places.

Then I went to try one of your classes on December 21st, and right away I knew and felt this was what I was looking for all this time and registered at the moment. After taking your class and listening to Mayara’s mediattiom found all the elements I was looking for that other studios where lacking in my perception, either spirituality, safety, a practice that builds strengh, progressive asanas with heat to develop a stabe flexibility, precise and clear instructions, An acknowledgement to students during class, a personal touch, a practice based on a lineage, a balanced and well structured sequence, profound opening Nd closing meditations, a space with good energy and a feel of authenticity, a devoted teacher with no ego, and your wife Mayara with her pure energy and her smile. In few words I felt at home as a student and with the group at your class.

I feel so blessed I trained with you. I am deeply deeply thankful for all that you taught me, every single thing brought me more awareness into myself which I believe is what yoga is about. I promise I will continue to grow and evolve these powerful seeds that you planted deeply on my soul.

Gracias de corazón
Daniela

Fred,

L. Baker

“Two months ago when I started this journey i didn’t know what was coming my way,

I didn’t know the magnitude of everything that we’ve been learning from you.

From the beginning of the year when I started writing you, I felt like I needed to meet this man because there is stuff that I need to learn from him and Fred, you didn’t disappoint!

So, I thank you from the bottle of my heart and I’m very thankful for all these beautiful people here that we put our heart and our sweet here. i also realize that what you taught us, it’s gonna take a long time for us, or at least for me, to actually comprehend and understand how much information it is, we’ll keep in touch that is for sure!”

When I started this course I thought that, I felt that I was going to change several things within me, and I have felt that. Now these 2 months have passed, I have felt how my body has been getting stronger, not only physically but also as a person I feel more love for myself. And I think that’s very important to me. Thank you very much Fred for all your teachings, I really am very very happy.”

“Gracias Fred! Realmente me sorprendió este formato, creo que a todos. Ha funcionado super super bien. Estoy super sorprendida también cómo ha cambiado mi estilo de vida, sobretodo como con el tema de la alimentación.” Katherine L.

“Cuando empecé /hace poco he entrado a lo que es el Yoga/ empecé este curso con mucha ilusión, he aprendido bastante, he mejorado un montón de cosas, posiciones sobretodo, fuerza, he recuperado fuerza que había perdido por muchos años de no moverme mucho. La alimentación, también me ha gustado dejar de comer cosas que me habían estado haciendo daño y me encanta que mi hija está ahora, come frutas conmigo también come paltas y un poco de lo que es el Karma Yoga. Todas las paltas que he abierto y las he puesto y muchas ya están creciendo y tienen hojas y me encanta porque estoy haciendo árboles de lo que estoy comiendo, me fascina. También me falta bastante bastante por aprender y bueno se que no he querido tomar el examen pero por temas personales, le tengo miedo a los examenes, para serle sincera, pero eso no quiere decir que no haya aprendido muchísimo y que quiera seguir y más adelante volver a meter a un curso si tengo la suerte de volver a entrar y bueno… me ha encantado, estoy super feliz con lo que he logrado en solo 2 meses.

I feel that I have finally learned what Yoga is. II started this course with great enthusiasm and I have not been disappointed. I have learned a ton!

I have improved a lot of things, positions above all, strength, I have regained strength that I had lost for many years from not moving much .

Eating, I have also liked to stop eating things that had been hurting me and I love that my daughter is now, she eats fruits with me, she also eats avocados and a little of what Karma Yoga is. All the avocados that I have opened and I have put them and many are already growing and have leaves and I love it because I am making trees from what I am eating, it fascinates me. I also have quite a lot to learn and well I know I have not wanted to take the exam but for personal reasons, I am afraid of the exams, to be honest, but that does not mean that I have not learned a lot and that I want to continue and later to return to a course if I am lucky enough to re-enter and well … I loved it, I am super happy with what I have achieved in just 2 months.”

“Antes de matricularme tenía muchas expectativas y todas mis excpectativas han sido superadas pero al máximo. No imaginé que iba a ser tan profundo, pensé que iba a ser diferente. Pero realmente cada semana teórica siempre me dejaba pensando “wow, no puedo creer que recién esté descubriendo esto” y estoy muy agradecida porque nos has abierto la mente, yo creo que a todos nos has sembrado un montón de cosas que no conocíamos. Estoy muy agradecida por haber sido parte de este curso y te agradezco mucho, Fred, eres una persona sumamente inspiradora, de verdad te agradezco muchísimo. Pensé que con todo esto de lo virtual no iba a funcionar, la verdad no puedo creer cómo ha funcionado también. Es más, hasta ha sido una ventaja porque podías revisar cuando algo no te quedaba claro. La verdad es que así ha sido genial. Te agradezco muchísimo, me voy más que feliz, muchas gracias a todos.

Before enrolling I had high expectations and all my expectations have been exceeded but to the maximum. I didn’t imagine it was going to be that deep, I thought it was going to be different. But really every theoretical week it always left me thinking “wow, I can’t believe I’m just discovering this” and I’m very grateful because you have opened our minds, I think that you have shown a lot of things that we did not know. I am very grateful for having been part of this course and I thank you very much, Fred, you are an extremely inspiring person, I really thank you very much. I thought that with all this virtual it was not going to work, I really can’t believe how it has worked too. What’s more, it has even been an advantage because you could review when something was not clear to you. The truth is that this has been great. I thank you very much, I am leaving more than happy, thank you all very much.”

“Tenía muchas expectativas en realidad desde hace tiempo y había visto el profesorado y cuando yo me inscribí me inscribí en realidad al presencial y con todo esto de la pandemia vino este cambio y fue también una sorpresa pero a adaptarnos. Realmente me sorprendió este formato, creo que a todos. Ha funcionado super super bien. Estoy super sorprendida también cómo ha cambiado mi estilo de vida, sobretodo como con el tema de la alimentación. Me siento mucho más ligera, todavía obviamente me falta mejorar y seguir aprendiendo cosas pero con la alimentación yo creo que me he ayudado muchísimo a sentirme mejor, a sentirme más ligera. Obviamente también todo el conociemiento, toda la teoría, han habido un montón de cosas que ni me imaginaba y que realmente, nos has abierto la mente y nos estás llevando a querer seguir, seguir investigando más para nuestro propio bienestar y en verdad estoy muy agradecida, muy agredicda contigo Fred

y con todas las chicas de la clase, que lamentablemente, no he podido tener contacto con todas pero igual siento que se ha vuelto un grupo muy lindo, y eso es todo, que ahora estoy muy feliz y siento mucha gratitud y se que este es un inicio de un gran cambio. “

“I had really high expectations for a long time and I had seen the teachers and when I signed up I actually signed up in person and with all this of the pandemic came this change and it was also a surprise but to adapt. I was really surprised by this format, I think everyone. It has worked super super well. I am also super surprised how my lifestyle has changed, especially with the issue of food. I feel much lighter, obviously I still need to improve and continue learning things but with food I think that it has helped me a lot to feel better, to feel lighter. Obviously also all the knowledge, all the theory, there have been a lot of things that I did not even imagine and that really, you have opened our minds and you are leading us to want to continue, to continue investigating more for our own well-being and in truth I am very grateful , very grateful with you Fred

and with all the girls in the class, who unfortunately, I have not been able to have contact with all but I still feel that it has become a very nice group, and that is all, that now I am very happy and I feel a lot of gratitude and I know that this is a start of a great change.”

“Muy agradecida y también con todo el equipo, yo cuando entré en verdad estaba pasando una situación muy difícil, ya había pagado el adelanto pero casi no la hago porque la verdad era que quería estar en otro planeta, estaba muy en el subsuelo de la depresión pero una persona me dijo “hazlo hazlo hazlo” y a última hora me comuniqué con Tai y ya. Y acá estoy, viva, y de alguna forma fue, sí, mi mano de emergencia. Y gracias, Fred, porque yo no quería vivir más. Y se que tengo muchas cosas por sanar pero yo considero que contigo ya estoy a la mitad del camino, me sento muy muy orgullosa de ser la persona que soy. Por eso de alguna forma siempre preguntaba cosas relacionadas con las emociones y los resentimientos. Todavía tengo muchas cosas que trabajar pero todo lo que tu me has enseñado, las preguntas de las chicas, me han ayudado un montón y me han salvado, la verdad. Apesar de que ya he sido alumna del Yoga ya varios años pero el hecho de estar del otro lado me hace además tomar consciencia de hacerme responsable de mi vida. Si yo no me cuido, si yo no decido cuidarme, si no decido respetarme, si no decido amarme como soy, ¿quién más lo va a hacer, no? y entonces todo este equipo humano me han ayudado a despertar eso, que yo siempre me “valoraba” pero el Yoga y tus enseñanzas es de otra perspectiva, ya no una perspectiva superfial “mundana” como le digo yo, ya es adentro y eso jamás lo voy a olvidar. Son cosas que en concepto uno lo sabe, pero uno necesita a una persona preparada, realmente como tu, Fred, para sentir que es así, para sentir que eso es real. No es lo mismo que me vaya a un instituto y me lo enseñe un X, tu eres una persona que ha vivido tantas cosas que se ha preparado para esto y eso es lo que expresas, entonces como no voy a sentirme responsable de mi vida si tu me estas instruyendo para esa paz mental para esa iluminación porque finalmente ese es ahora mi objetivo de vida. Yo no me quería definitivamente porque siempre me dejé llevar por lo de afuera, entonces ya entendí gracias a ti, que eso no es lo real, esa no es la verdad, la verdades lo que tengo yo acá (en el corazón). Pero como dicen, un día a la vez. Yo siempre he sido buena alumna, siempre me he jactado de querer ser la mejor, sacar buenas notas, super estudiosas, chancona como se dice, pero intelectualmente es fácil pero acá (en la mente) y acá (en el corazón), por eso lo mejor es UN DÍA A LA VEZ. Me encantaría ser santa porque ese es un camino cuasi-a-la-santidad, como le digo, pero un día a la vez., Yo me propongo, no voy a desfraudarte. Yo quiero ser un buen ser humano para mí primero, y de ahí, para los demás. Así que yo te agradezco de verdsad infinitamente, agradezco al equipo porque todo lo que hay ahí adentro, toda esa energía, esa pratyahara, esa magnetisación eterna, ya es otra. Y gracias de verdad a ti, porque sí, en gran parte, estoy viva por ti y voy a seguir trabajando para ser la mejor y dar lo mejor. Karma Yoga. “

“I’m very grateful for you Fred and also with the whole team, when I entered I was really going through a very difficult situation, I had already paid the advance but I almost did not do it because the truth was that I wanted to be on another planet, I was deep underground in depression but one person told me “do it do it do it” and at the last minute I contacted Tai and that’s it.

And here I am, alive, and somehow it was, yes, my emergency hand. And thank you, Fred, because I didn’t want to live anymore. And I know that I have many things to heal but I consider that with you I am already halfway there, I feel very, very proud of being the person I am. That’s why somehow she always asked questions related to emotions and resentments. I still have many things to work on but everything that you have taught me, the questions from the girls, have helped me a lot and have saved me, really.

Despite the fact that I have already been a student of Yoga for several years the fact of being on the other side also makes me aware of being responsible for my life. If I don’t take care of myself, if I don’t decide to take care of myself, if I don’t decide to respect myself, if I don’t decide to love myself as I am, who else is going to do it, right? And then all this human team has helped me to awaken that, that I always “valued” myself but Yoga and your teachings are from another perspective, no longer a superficial “worldly” perspective as I say, it is already inside and that never I will forget it. They are things that in concept one knows, but one needs a prepared person, really like you, Fred, to feel that it is like that, to feel that it is real. It is not the same that I go to an institute and an X teaches it to me, you are a person who has lived so many things that has prepared for this and that is what you express, then how can I not feel responsible for my life if you are instructing me for that peace of mind for that enlightenment because finally that is now my life goal. I definitely did not love myself because

I always let myself be carried away by the outside, so I understood thanks to you, that this is not the real thing, that is not the truth, the truth that I have here (in my heart). But as they say, one day at a time. I have always been a good student, I have always boasted of wanting to be the best, get good grades, super studious, chancona as they say, but intellectually it is easy but here (in the mind) and here (in the heart), that’s why the best is ONE DAY AT A TIME. I would love to be a saint because that is a quasi-to-holiness path, as I say, but one day at a time. I propose, I am not going to disappoint you. I want to be a good human being for myself first, and from there, for others. So I really thank you infinitely, I thank the team because everything that is in there, all that energy, that pratyahara, that eternal magnetization, is already another. And thanks really to you, because yes, to a large extent, I am alive for you and I will continue working to be the best and give my best. Karma Yoga.”

“Yo sí tuve la suerte de poder verte y yo no entendía porqué la gente corría a tus clases y yo dije “tengo que ir a esa clase” y fui. Y ahora lo entiendo, porque yo siempre buscaba el Yoga del lado físico, del lado más simple y me quedo con el mensaje de que en verdad el Yoga es para todos, que yo no lo creía. Y hoy cuando nos contaste del Yoga en sillas, en verdad, yo me sentí super emocionada porque se lo puedes permitir a todos y es algo que yo nunca lo había imaginado. Y no saben lo feliz que me siento, de a pesar yo haberlo intentado llevar presencial por 2 años, lo llevé Online y ha sido increíble. No sabes lo feliz que me puedo sentir con todo, con mi comida, con mi mat, con mi práctica, y tengo además las ganas de poder transmitir eso. En verdad algo mágico. En verdad te lo agradezco, lo agradezco de corazón, y ahora entiendo porqué todas esas personas corrían hacia tus clases.

I was lucky enough to be able to see you and I didn’t understand why people ran to your classes and I said “I have to go to that class” and I went. And now I understand it, because I always looked for Yoga on the physical side, on the simpler side and I am left with the message that Yoga is really for everyone, that I did not believe it. And today when you told us about Yoga in chairs, in truth, I felt super excited because you can offer it to everyone and it is something that I had never imagined. And you don’t know how happy I feel, despite having tried to take it in person for 2 years, I took it online and it has been incredible. You don’t know how happy I can feel with everything, with my food, with my mat, with my practice, and I also want to be able to transmit that. Truly something magical. I really appreciate it, I really appreciate it, and now I understand why all those people were running to your classes.”

“Quiero agradecerle a todos, de verdad. Mi objetivo no era quizá enseñar, y he estado pasando por un momento muy duro y de mucho trabajo y quizá por eso no me han visto tampoco en algunas tardes. Conversé con Fred también porque tanta computadora y tantas cosas era demasiado para mí, y yo entonces dije QUIERO SEGUIR de todas maneras, quiero seguir aprendiendo pero voy a ir un poco lento, teniendo en cuenta el “menos es más” y ahí fue un poco un alivio para mí, e igual estando en las clases de teoría los fines de semana, a veces durante la semana compartiendo con ustedes y viendo cómo desde un inicio comenzamos con una clase práctica de Fred y todos siguiendolo, y poco a poco, hasta que hoy día yo también me atreví a dictar la clase. No pensé que podía y me da mucho orgullo, para mí, y por ver a todos, por más que me hubiera encantado quizás compartir un poco más con ustedes, por más que sea en la computadora, yo quería el presencial también. Y bueno, por algo pasan las cosas, y nos hemos adaptado todos y me da mucho orgullo ver que puedo hacerlo y como todos nos hemos ido desarrollando y avanzando en la práctica y realmente todos hemos dado una parte de la clase y estoy segura de que practicando y practicando vamos a poder transmitir esa paz que nos da el Yoga, que no solo es lo fisico, sino como dijo Lisbeth también que, me he quedado muy “wow” bien tocada con lo que ha dicho. Siento mucho agradecimiento y a las personas que he podido compartir, estoy muy agradecida porque me llevo amistades, me llevo amistades que no pensé hacer de esta manera virtual. Muchas gracias a todos, por más que nos veamos solo en la carita y no hayamos compartido quizá más cerca, pero igual les agradezco a todo por hacer esto posible. Muchas gracias, Fred, por esta oportunidad.

I want to thank everyone, really. Perhaps my goal was not to teach, and I have been going through a very hard time and a lot of work and perhaps that is why they have not seen me on some afternoons either. I also talked to Fred because so much computer and so many things was too much for me, and then I said I WANT TO CONTINUE anyway, I want to continue learning but I am going to go a little slow, taking into account the “less is more” and there it was a little a relief for me, and even being in theory classes on weekends, sometimes during the week sharing with you and seeing how from the beginning we started with a practical class with Fred and everyone following him, and little by little, until today I also dared to teach the class. I didn’t think I could and it makes me very proud, for me, and for seeing everyone, as much as I would have loved to maybe share a little more with you, no matter how much it is on the computer, I wanted the face-to-face session too. Well, things happen for a reason, and we have all adapted and I am very proud to see that I can do it and how we have all been developing and advancing in practice and we have really all given a part of the class and I am sure that practicing and practicing we will be able to transmit that peace that Yoga gives us, which is not only physical, but as Lisbeth also said that, I have been very “wow” well touched with what she has said. I am very grateful and to the people that I have been able to share, I am very grateful because I bring friends, I bring friends that I did not think of doing in this virtual way. Thank you all very much, even if we only see each other in the face and perhaps we have not shared closer, but I still thank you all for making this possible. Thank you very much, Fred, for this opportunity.”

“Estoy super agradecida de todo lo que hemos vivido estos meses. Todas las personas a las que he conocido, todas las enseñanzas que han llegado hacia mí, y ha sido muy mágico para mí, porque yo toda la vida vivía con mucho dolor por dentro porque yo veía mucha maldad humana y me dolía mucho, como por ejemplo, cómo se trataban a los animales y muchas cosas distintas, yo sentía todo ese dolor y a través de este curso he aprendido y he llegado a entender porqué las personas hacen lo que hacen y cómo y qué herramientas puedo utilizar para intentar hacer cambiar a esas personas. Y realmente ha sido una experiencia preciosa en general, como ha dicho mi compañera, enseñanzas que van a durar una vida porque creo que no me va a dar nunca tiempo absorver todo lo que hemos aprendido en estos dos meses porque es una magnitud increíble y ha sido algo lleno de muchos desafíos y ha sido muy intenso. Yo por momentos pensaba que no iba llegar porque era mucho para complementar con mi vida diaria pero me di cuenta que todo merecía la pena y que he mejorado en tantos aspectos de mi vida, he mejorado en mi fuerza de voluntad, mi disciplina, mi fuerza fisica y fuerza mental y la verdad que ha sido, han sido dos meses que realmente han cambiado mi vida y es solamente el inicio de un cambio entonces estoy muy agradecida a ti Fred, por haber transmitido todos estos conocimientos que no tienen ningun precio y a todo el equipo que ha sido todo fantastico y genial, gracias.

I am super grateful for everything we have experienced these months. All the people I have met, all the teachings that have come to me, and it has been very magical for me, because all my life I lived with a lot of pain inside because I saw a lot of human evil and it hurt a lot, as for For example, how animals were treated and many different things, I felt all that pain and through this course I have learned and have come to understand why people do what they do and how and what tools I can use to try to make them change people.

And it has really been a precious experience in general, as my colleague said, teachings that will last a lifetime because I think that I will never have time to absorb everything we have learned in these two months because it is an incredible magnitude and has It has been something full of many challenges and it has been very intense.

At times I thought that it would not arrive because it was a lot to complement with my daily life but I realized that everything was worth it and that I have improved in so many aspects of my life, I have improved in my willpower, my discipline, my strength physical and mental strength and the truth that it has been, it has been two months that have really changed my life and it is only the beginning of a change so I am very grateful to you Fred, for having transmitted all this knowledge that has no price and everything the team that has been all fantastic and great, thank you.”

“Muchas de las cosas que han dicho son cosas que siento sobretodo y principalmente agradecimiento infinito, es como la pandemia ha llegado por algo y he visto el curso muchas veces y quería hacer el profesorado muchas veces y el tiempo no me daba y de pronto algo que está completamente mal para el mundo ha sido muy bueno para mí, uno de los momentos más bonitos de estos meses fue cuando me fui de viaje con mi familia y poder hacer que los 3, completamente distintos, mi hermanita ha hecho Yoga conmigo pero mi papá nunca y mi mamá tiene una condición física distinta y todos hacían y podía guiarlos y poder ver que mi mamá come mejor… el cambio no es por la teoría, no es por la práctica, el cambio es como un estilo de vida. Fred siempre decía que esto es como el inicio de una vida y es así. Soy muy feliz, estoy muy agradecida. Yo había llevado muchos pequeños cursos teóricos que me habían despertado este bichito, estas ganas de seguir aprendiendo. Pero esto así como lo has enseñado, Fred, así como has hecho las cosas… aún dejando de lado a veces a las personas que queremos porque teníamos que estar todo el día concentrados en esto y revisar y estudiar más, pero valió demasiado la pena. Ver sus caritas todas las semanas… no puedo creer que esto mañana termine y de pronto ya no nos veamos… y bueno, solo muchas gracias.

Many of the things they have said are things that I feel above all and mainly infinite gratitude, it’s like the pandemic has come for something and I have seen the course many times and I wanted to do the teaching many times and time did not give me and suddenly something that is completely wrong for the world has been very good for me, one of the most beautiful moments of these months was when I went on a trip with my family and to be able to make the 3, completely different, my little sister Yoga with me but my dad never and my mom has a different physical condition and they all did and I could guide them and see that my mom eats better … the change is not by theory, it is not by practice, the change is like a Lifestyle.

Fred always said that this is like the beginning of a life and it is like that. I am very happy, I am very grateful. I had taken many small theoretical courses that this little bug had awakened me, this desire to continue learning. But this is the way you have taught it, Fred, the way you have done things … even sometimes leaving aside the people we love because we had to be focused all day on this and review and study more, but it was worth too much pain. Seeing their faces every week … I can’t believe this will end tomorrow and suddenly we won’t see each other anymore … and well, just thank you very much.”

“Es muy emocionante todo, la verdad. Yo ya estaba muy emocionada antes de empezar así que ahora estoy mucho más emocionada. Cuando yo encontré el Yoga en Perú hace 3 años, era un momento muy delicado en mi vida, un momento especial, un momento en que sentí muchas cosas que se movían dentro y agarré el yoga, encontré un gran amigo, una alianza, un gran consuelo. Poco a poco, seguí practicando Yoga y se lo ofrecí a mi hija, a la que adoro, y empezamos tan bien, me sentía feliz de ver que a ella también le estaba ayudando el Yoga. Cuando ya me venía de Perú solo quería hacer este curso, y bueno, empezó la pandemia, la certificación, el curso cancelado, qué pena… bueno, la vida es así. Y de repente, en medio de todo, en un momento también especial y de mudanza pero ONLINE y yo soy muy negada con todas las cosas tecnológicas, para mí todavía me superan pero quería el online, venga. Fred esto ha sido mucho más de lo que esperaba porque ha sido incríble, he hecho este curso junto con mi hija. Ha sido un momento de descubrimiento, de compañeros, de conocerte a ti, de conocer más el Yoga porque no tenía nada que ver lo que he encontrado con lo que yo hacía de práctica física, y he encontrado un mundo increíble, una ventana que se ha abierto para mí toda la vida. No tengo palabras. Ahora mismo solo siento que no voy a estar sola nunca más porque a partir de ahora, el Yoga estará conmigo, esté donde esté, y haga lo que haga. No se si alguna vez lo voy a enseñar, me encantaría compartir esto con más gente pero ahora solo pienso en todo lo que esto me está enseñando a mí. No tiene precio. Muchísimas gracias, Fred porque de verdad que hubo momentos duros donde tocamos fondo, “esto no se puede, con el zoom, con esto” para mí era todo un challenge pero estoy muy orgullosa de mí misma también, de todo lo que me ha demostrado eso a nivel de superar cosas, superar metas y cada día creer más en mí, y saber que podía hacerlo y ser capaz. Nada, tengo a un gran amigo el Yoga, a partir de hoy en mi vida, bueno a partir del día que empecé el profesorado. Gracias, gracias por todo. Gracias por ser como eres y por ser tan profesional y gracias por todo lo que nos has dado. Gracias.

It’s all very exciting, really. I was already very excited before I started so now I am much more excited. When I found Yoga in Peru 3 years ago, it was a very delicate moment in my life, a special moment, a moment when I felt many things moving inside and I took up yoga, I found a great friend, an alliance, a great comfort. Little by little, I continued practicing Yoga and I offered it to my daughter, whom I adore, and we started so well, I was happy to see that Yoga was helping her too. When I was coming from Peru, I just wanted to do this course, and well, the pandemic began, the certification, the course canceled, what a shame … well, life is like that.

And suddenly, in the middle of everything, in a moment that is also special and moving, so i took the course ONLINE.

Fred this has been much more than I expected because it has been incredible, I have done this course together with my daughter. It has been a moment of discovery, of colleagues, of getting to know you, of knowing more about Yoga because it had nothing to do with what I found with what I did in physical practice, and I have found an incredible world, a window that has been open to me all my life.

I have no words. Right now I just feel like I’m not going to be alone anymore because from now on, Yoga will be with me, wherever I am, and whatever I do. I don’t know if I’m ever going to teach it, I would love to share this with more people but now I just think about everything this is teaching me. Priceless.

Thank you very much, Fred, because there were really hard moments where we hit rock bottom, “this can’t be done, with the zoom, with this” for me it was quite a challenge but I am very proud of myself too, of everything that has shown me that at the level of overcoming things, overcoming goals and believing more in myself every day, and knowing that I could do it and be capable. I have a great friend of Yoga, from today in my life, well from the day I started teaching.

Thank you, thank you for everything. Thank you for being who you are and for being so professional and thank you for everything you have given us. Thank you.”

“Me siento realmente muy emocionada de escuchar a cada una de nuestras compañeras aquí, en mi caso particular bueno yo trabajo en oficina toda la vida desde que tengo como 18 años y cuando encontré el Yoga me enamoré del Yoga… siempre quise hacer este profesorado pero el tiempo no me permitía porque mi trabajo en la oficina es bastante demandante y los fines de semana los dedico a mi madre que como les comenté al inicio, tiene alzeimer y (entonces, como decía Rozzana) la pandemia ha traído cosas duras y difíciles para el mundo pero para mí hasta me dió la oportunidad, me dió esta oportunidad de haber llevado el profesorado ahora virtual, porque estoy segura de que si el mundo siguiera su ritmo normal, esto no hubiera sido posible, se que estoy en un lugar preciso, donde tengo que estar ahora. Estoy muy agradecida Fred por tu enseñanza, por tu buena disposición, por todo lo que nos has transmitido en estas semanas. Han sido realmente bastante intensas, yo lo he sentido bastante intenso no solo de manera física sino también ha sido muy retador. Toda la semana nos traías información nueva, conocimientos nuevos que probablemente muchas de nosotras no habíamos tenido la oportunidad de conocerte. En mi caso particular ya había llevado un curso de Raja Yoga antes y siempre en búsqueda de poder conectar con mi esencia, con lo que soy, con mi aura, con mi espíritu. Esto me dió mucha más información a mi vida. Te agradezco mucho. Agradezco a todas las chicas y a Joel, por este espacio, por este tiempo que hemos compartido juntos. Me hubiera gustado tener la oportunidad de compartir con todos, pero no ha sido posible porque hemos compartido con algunas personas en las prácticas, haciendo los trabajos… Ojalá, y espero, me gustaría mucho que cuando esto pase, tengamos todos la oportunidad de poder juntarnos y conocernos personalmente, sería muy bonito en verdad poder vernos poder darnos un abrazo. Desde aquí les mando un abrazo enorme, que me encantaría poder darselos personalmente pero lametablemente la situación actual no nos lo permite. Ha sido un reto, realmente me siento muy feliz de haber llegado hasta el final porque en algún momento sentí que derepente ya no podría más, hasta pensé “de repente sería mejor que me retire porque estoy trabajando y también estoy con el profesorado y también estoy con mis temas de la casa” pero finalmente decidí seguir adelante, continuar y estoy muy agradecida, muy feliz de que esto haya sido posible porque esto para mí es un sueño hecho realidad.

I really feel very excited to listen to each of our colleagues here, in my particular case well I have worked in the office all my life since I was about 18 years old and when I found Yoga I fell in love with Yoga.

I always wanted to do this teacher training But time did not allow me because my work in the office is quite demanding and I dedicate the weekends to my mother who, as I mentioned at the beginning, has Alzheimer’s and the pandemic has brought hard and difficult things for the world but for me he even gave me the opportunity, he gave me this opportunity to have taken the now virtual training, because I am sure that if the world followed its normal rhythm, this would not have been possible,

I know that I am in a precise place , where I have to be now. I am very grateful Fred for your teaching, for your good disposition, for all that you have transmitted to us in these weeks. They have been really quite intense, I have felt it quite intense not only physically but it has also been very challenging. All week you brought us new information, new knowledge that probably many of us had not had the opportunity to meet you. In my particular case,

I had already taken a Raja Yoga course before and always in search of being able to connect with my essence, with what I am, with my aura, with my spirit. This gave me much more information in my life. Thank you so much. I thank all the girls and Joel, for this space, for this time that we have shared together.

I really feel very happy to have reached the end because at some point I felt that suddenly I couldn’t take it anymore, I even thought “suddenly it would be better for me to retire because I am working and I am also with the teachers and I am also with my house issues “but finally I decided to move on, continue and I am very grateful, very happy that this has been possible because this for me is a dream come true.”

“Estoy sumamente feliz de haberme hecho este regalo. De verdad tomé la decisión correcta. Escuché a las personas que tenía que escuchar. Para mí, ha sido increíble la experiencia. Estoy sumamente agradecida por lo que nos has enseñazo Fred, por el grupo, por las personas, por como ha fluido este curso. Me ha parecido increíble que haya fluido tan bién y que nos hayamos acostumbrado a esta “normalidad”. De verdad ha superado mis expectativas y me reafirmo que este es el camino que quiero seguir. Ya hace tiempo lo vengo pensando, me encanta el Yoga y haber aprendido un poquito (tan solo este poquito) porque hay MUCHA información, de la filosofia que hay detrás, me abre como que el deseo de seguir conociendo y profundizando más porque como digo, es lo que quiero hacer y lo voy a hacer, me encanta, me hace muy feliz, me siento muy bien fisica y mentalmente y de verdad solo tengo palabras de agradecimiento para ti, por lo profesional que has sido, lo buen maestro que has sido y de verdad que el día de hoy me ha parecido sumamente especial, después de los exámenes lo que nos has enseñado sobre filosofia adicional sobre el *?NEW SOLT?* y todo lo que has mencionado ahí… me identifiqué mucho con lo que dijiste sobre las sugestiones porque en algún momento yo he tenido una experiencia muy fea de ataques de pánico que surgieron de la nada y busqué ayuda, seguía con el Yoga y la verdad las sugestiones me acompañaron y me ayudaron muchísimo, muchísimo, muchísimo, y de verdad que es el poder de la mente y otra cosa que me dió mucha alegría es saber que podemos ayudar a personas con el Yoga en Silla… realmente cuando estabas hablando de que nos ibas a enseñar Yoga en silla yo ni siquiera, (que obstusa puedo ser a veces de siquiera imaginarme cuál es la razón por la que podría yo aprender un Yoga en silla, “por qué voy a aprender un Yoga en silla?”) pero no vi más allá… y realmente haber hecho y practicar la secuencia que nos mostraste, me abrió también mucho la mente y decir “qué increíble, esto realmente podía traer TANTA PAZ, tando bienestar a gente que de repente no es tan afortunado como uno” y pensé en las personas mayores, en las personas abandonadas y en el Karma Yoga y realmente me encantaría tener la experiencia de hacerlo en algún momento y estoy muy muy agradecida, siento muchísima gratitud por todo esto. Gracias, Fred, no tengo más palabras porque creo que igual no llegaría a expresar todo lo que estoy sintiendo en este momento. Gracias. Quiero para cerrar solamente decir que, mañana concluye, no puedo creer que se haya pasado tán rápido, ha sido increíblemente rápido y mañana para mí es un día muy muy especial, es el cumpleaños de mi papá y eso para mí también es que, ha sido todo esto como un regalo, desde que inició con mi cumpleaños y con el cierre. Gracias.

I am extremely happy to have received this gift. I really made the right decision. I listened to the people I had to listen to. For me, the experience has been incredible. I am extremely grateful for what you have taught us Fred, for the group, for the people, for how this course has flowed.

It has seemed incredible to me that it has flowed so well and that we have gotten used to this “normality”. It has really exceeded my expectations and I reaffirm that this is the path I want to follow. I have been thinking about it for a long time, I love Yoga and having learned a little bit (just this little bit) because there is A LOT of information, about the philosophy behind, it opens me up like the desire to continue knowing and deepening more because as I say, is what I want to do and I am going to do it, I love it, it makes me very happy, I feel very good physically and mentally and I really only have words of thanks for you, for how professional you have been, what a good teacher you have been And really that today has seemed extremely special to me, after the exams what you have taught us about additional philosophy about the *? NEW THOUGHT AUTHORS * and everything you have mentioned there … I identified a lot with what

You said about the suggestions because at some point I have had a very ugly experience of panic attacks that arose out of nowhere and I looked for help, I continued with Yoga and the truth is that the suggestions accompanied me and helped me a lot, a lot, a lot, and from it’s true that he is Power of the mind and another thing that gave me a lot of joy is knowing that we can help people with Chair Yoga … really when you were talking about how you were going to teach us Chair Yoga I didn’t even, how obstinate I can be to times of even imagining what is the reason why I could learn a Yoga in a chair, “why am I going to learn a Yoga in a chair?” but I did not see further and have really done and practiced the sequence that we you showed, it also opened my mind a lot and said “how incredible, this could really bring SO MUCH PEACE, bringing well-being to people who are suddenly not as lucky as me” and I thought of the elderly, abandoned people and Karma Yoga and I would really love to have the experience of doing it at some point and I am very, very grateful, I feel so much gratitude for all of this.

Thanks, Fred, I have no more words because I think that I would not get to express everything that I am feeling at this moment. Thank you. Thank you.”

M.I.G. 2020

“Quiero agradecer a la vida, a Dios por darme este regalo. Al comienzo estaba dudosa, el curso, la pandemia. Y siempre quise llevar el profesorado pero como dicen muchos, por el tema del trabajo era imposible, para mí esto era imposible… y mira, las sorpresas que da la vida… pues vi el profesorado. Igual dudaba porque era online pero mi madre me dijo como nunca, me dió el empujón que necesitaba y lo llevé. Al comienzo dije “vamos a ver, es un Yoga más profundo, quiero saber qué más siento” porque a parte las clases, pero todo este tiempo porque ya casi van a hacer casi 2 meses, ha habido un cambio en mí. Nunca pensé ser, no comer carne durante dos meses, eso al comienzo era un reto para mí, pero no fue tan difícil en el modo en que lo vi, las cosas que tu decía que tenía mucha coherencia, mucha verdad, entonces no he sufrido, porque todo el mundo te pregunta “por qué no puedes comer carne? no te provoca?” no. Lo que es Yoga, es otro mundo para mí. Te hace mirar las cosas con otros ojos, es otra mente diferente, la manera de pensar, lo que tu enseñas te llega adentro y si lo sientes, para mí, yo lo he sentido y se que me falta mucho más, hay mucha información, hay un camino largo pero estoy feliz. Yo pensé que la felicidad era por ratitos en momentos especificos, pero al estar acá en estos 2 meses yo me siento que la felicidad es más constante, me siento más feliz y eso se me dió de la nada y con cosas tan sencillas ya veo totalmente diferente las cosas. Soy mas feliz por más ratos. Ahora, al tener esta herramienta, que es el Yoga, se que puedo compartir y puedo ayudar a las personas, de cualquier modo porque se puede ayudar por todos lados. (así como habían dicho de la silla que sí justo cuando estabamos haciendo la práctica en la silla dije “mira qué bien, oye mira hay personas que realmente están solas y sí, hay un montón de eso actualmente”) Entonces, de verdad gracias por cruzarte en mi camino. Gracias por compartir todo lo que sabes, de ofrecerlo así nomás y a cada uno de mis compañeros también porque he podido compartir conmigo momentos buenos, agradables, de enseñanza, de esfuerzo, esto no ha sido fácil, creo que la mayoría sabe, pero soy feliz ahorita y es mi tesoro y se que lo puedo compartir con alguien más.

I want to thank life and God for giving me this gift. At the beginning it was doubtful, the course, the pandemic. And I always wanted to take this training with Fred but as many say, because of the work issue it was impossible, for me this was impossible … and look, the surprises that life gives.

I still doubted because it was online but my mother told me like never before, she gave me the push I needed and I took it. At the beginning I said “let’s see, it is a deeper Yoga, and for almost 2 months, there has been a change in me. I never thought of being, not eating meat for two months, that at the beginning was a challenge for me, but it was not that difficult in the way I saw it, the things that you said had a lot of coherence, a lot of truth, so I have not suffered , because everyone asks you “why can’t you eat meat? Doesn’t it provoke you?

What is Yoga is another world for me. It makes you look at things with different eyes, it is a different mind, the way of thinking, what you teach reaches you inside and if you feel it, for me, I have felt it and I know that I lack much more, there is a lot of information, there is a long way but I am happy.

I thought that happiness was for little moments at specific times, but being here in these 2 months I feel that happiness is more constant, I feel happier and that came to me out of nowhere and with such simple things I can see completely different now. I am happier for more moments. Now, having this tool, which is Yoga, I know that I can share and I can help people, in any way because it can be practiced by everyone everywhere. Just as they had said about the chair that yes, just when we were doing the practice in the chair I said look how good, hey look there are people who are really alone and yes, there are a lot of that currently So, really thanks for cross you in my way. Thank you for sharing everything you know, for offering it just like that and for each of my classmates also because I have been able to share with me good, pleasant moments, teaching, effort, this has not been easy, I think most of them know, but I am happy

Right now it is my treasure and I know that I can share it with someone else.”

P.O.

“I feel very privileged to have been able to participate in this course, even though everyone told me “don’t do it, it’s virtual, better wait for next year, better do it later” but I felt such a strong attraction, it was like “I need to do it” and I felt very selfish at the same time because we work independently, we have a business, my husband had to cover me a LOT in these 2 months, really for me it was like a very selfish decision to say “I’m going to do this, I’m going to take all the freedom to do it “and when you said, I think it was a week ago, that sometimes your students write you saying how grateful they are ‘YOU HAVE NO IDEA”were exactly the words i was thinking.

I have regained a lot of confidence and I did not imagine now being here with this energy with this love I feel that my heart is open, I am full of love, I am full of happiness and above all I have plenty, I can give, not only for myself. I am very grateful and I am very happy, very happy that I made the decision without money, I have spent my last money that I had saved for this course, totally irrational, I said “I have to do this” and it was as is. I also feel like many who said that we are just starting, like a window was opened, or a door rather. And I just think “I’m just going to start” but I really want to do it and continue teaching. Thank you all.”

“Gracias, Fred. Gracias por esta oportunidad, por este momento. Gracias a las chicas, gracias a los chicos, gracias a Joel. Gracias primeramente, yo soy sincera, a veces no estudiaba porque tenía clases, 3-4 horas de clases y por tal motivo no estudiaba pero si me mantenía consciente de que yo puedo y lo logré, me siento muy agradecida de lo que tu… y siempre te voy a llevar en mi corazón, siempre. Sinceramente, he tenido otras certificaiones pero esta certifiación sí me ha llegado aquí (en el corazón) en lo más profundo dentro de mi ser, siempre vas a estar, siempre Fred, y las chicas y todos. Aunque no nos hayamos visto, no los conozca, pero sí. Me siento sinceramente muy agradecida, no me salen las palabras que quizá, en este momento estoy muy emocionada, yo soy muy sensible, ( disculpen que a veces soy muy llorona, pero soy muy sensible). Te voy a agradecer, Fred. Yo te quiero mucho, Fred, sinceramente bastante porque me has enseñado mucho, mucho mucho. Y he aprendido bastante gracias de todo corazón gracias, gracias.

Thanks, Fred. Thank you for this opportunity, for this moment. Thank you first of all, I am honest, sometimes I did not study because I had classes, 3-4 hours of classes and for that reason I did not study but if I kept myself aware that I can and I did it, I feel very grateful for what you and I will always carry you in my heart, always.

Honestly, I have had other certifications but this certification was different it has reached me here (in my heart) in the deepest part of my being, you will always be, always Fred, and the girls and everyone.

I’m going to thank you, Fred. I love you very much, Fred, honestly enough because you have taught me a lot, a lot a lot. And I have learned a lot thank you with all my heart thank you, thank you.”

“Estoy pensando en el 2 de octubre, el día anterior al inicio del profesorado. Decidí matricularme en el profesorado porque en realidad yo tenía, bueno, tengo una lesión en el hombro que fue mi principal inseguridad. Hace más de un año cuando me lesioné, en Mayo del año pasado, perdí toda la confianza que de repente había construido yo, haciendo mis posturas, sintiendome como muy avanzada en Yoga, y después fue como que me sentí muy como derrotada porque de verdad yo no podía hacer nada y recuero mucho la clase de sanación que nos diste y fue como una revelación. En verdad yo dije “he estado pensando tan mal todo este tiempo” me sentí afortunada como tu nos enseñaste, me sentí afortunada de tener una lesión y en verdad estoy muy agradecida, Fred, en verdad me has ayudado a retomar más la confianza en mí. Solo deseo que el Yoga y todo lo que nos has enseñado pueda vivir en mi corazón y mi mente. En verdad el único temor que puedo sentir es saber que es saber que no voy a poder seguir con esta práctica, o que no voy a poder continuar con esta práctica en algún momento. Gracias en verdad por todo lo que nos han enseñado, Fred, gracias por todas las cosas que nos diste, hace un rato alguien mencionaba que en verdad todo lo que nos enseña solamente nos invitaba a cuestionarnos a preguntarnos, a pensar en más cosas y en verdad creo que todos los días termina la clase y solamente empiezo a debatir con mi esposo, me dice cosas y yo le digo y es como que en realidad se ha convertido en algo muy bonito. Justo ahora que estabamos almorzando le decía “ya mañana se acaba” y el me preguntaba “y vas a seguir siendo vegetariana?” jaja y en verdad sí, esto es el inicio, creo que alguna personas piensan que “ya mañana acaba” y así como un curso cualquiera que empieza y termina y de ahí ya no hay más clases, pero esto definitivamente es algo que empieza y creo que para todos es el inicio de algo. Estoy infinitamente agradecida contigo y sobretodo con Dios porque me ha dado la oportunidad de realizar este curso.

I am thinking of October 2, the day before the start of the Teacher Training when I decided to enroll! Because I have a shoulder injury that was my main insecurity. More than a year ago when I got injured, in May of last year, I lost all the confidence that I had suddenly built, doing my postures, feeling like very advanced in Yoga, and then it was like I felt very defeated because really I couldn’t do anything and I remember very much the kind of healing you gave us and it was like a revelation.

In truth I said “I have been thinking so badly all this time” I felt fortunate as you taught us, I felt fortunate to have an injury and in truth I am very grateful, Fred, you have really helped me to regain more confidence in myself . I only wish that Yoga and everything you have taught us can live in my heart and mind.

Thank you really for everything you have taught us, Fred, thank you for all the things you gave us, a while ago someone mentioned that in truth everything that he teaches us only invited us to question ourselves, to ask ourselves, to think about more things and about I really think that class ends every day and I just start to debate with my husband, he tells me things and I tell him and it’s like it has actually become something very beautiful.

Just now that we were having lunch, I told him “it’s over tomorrow” and he asked me “and are you going to continue being a vegetarian?” haha and really yes, this is the beginning,

I think some people think that “tomorrow ends already” and just like any course that begins and ends and from there there are no more classes, but this is definitely something that begins and I believe that for everyone is the beginning of something. I am infinitely grateful to you and especially to God because he has given me the opportunity to take this course.”

G.B. 2020

“Tengo como una sopa de ideas de la cabeza ahorita y muchos sentimientos encontrados, el primero y el más bonito es la gratitud que siento hacia la oportunidad de haber tenido este curso que también lo venía persiguiendo y supuestamente debía ser presencial y no fue, todos saben porqué. Siento muchísima gratitud por todo lo que nos has enseñado, siento muchísima gratitud por la gente que he conocido. Con algunos me he pasado horas estudiando, intentando estudiar, aunque el chisme se metía en el camino, “chisme” por decirlo, “la vida” se metía en el camino. Siento muchísima gratitud por eso. Pero también por otro lado estoy contenta con el hecho de que haya acabado, porque el hecho de que acabe, significa que algo nuevo comienza, y para que algo nuevo comience hay que darle el espacio. Y también quería hablar del tema de que ha sido en línea. Para mí, ha sido muy difícil: a mí me gustan las persona, a mí me gusta estar con las personas, a mí me gusta en el buen sentido de la palabra tocar a las personas, entonces el simple hecho de tener que verlos en una pantalla, muchas veces no me fue suficiente, me quedaba con un “mmmm quisiera más. Gracias a Dios supuestamente el próximo año vienes y podremos hacerlo en (linea) persona. Me he sentido como si hubiera vuelto al colegio, teniendo un cuaderno, ya hace años que no tenía un cuaderno y escribía a mano, me duele la mano, escribiendo palabras en otro idioma, (lisa y ursula también que saben animal) me he sentido cuando estaban las palabras en sánscrito como cuando aprendí alemán “tanta H? dónde va la H?” “y ahora como me voy a aprender estas palabretas?” y con Pamela creando historias para acordarnos entre el “jugo de durazno” que era el Dhanurasana y “Mayonesa” que era el Mayurasana y cosas así, han sido momentos muy divertidos, han sido momentos difíociles en algún tiempo dije “sabes qué? mejor me salgo porque tengo mucho trabajo, el trabajo de la oficina no ha parado, mi trabajo particular no ha parado, la casa, los hijos…” todo. Igual ha sido para todos, todos tenemos nuestros rollos cada uno en su sitio. Pero sabes qué? yo me voy con dos frases que dijiste y me las llevo, y las atesoro. Primero: el Yoga no es self improvement, sino que es self acceptence, y es MUY difícil el self accept y no te digo que lo he logrado pero al menos ya soy consciente. El Yoga no es fisico, el Yoga está acá (en el corazón) y está acá (en la mente). Otra frase que me llevo es que el alumno encuentra al profesor cuando es su momento, y pandemia o no, este era MI momento. Por alguna razón. Y me ha acompañado en situaciones personales difíciles en las que yo he podido recurrir a las cosas que ibamos escuchando en clase y decía “claro, si yo no me quiero, cómo alguien me va a querer?” comenzando por el self acceptence, para mí ha sido muy revelador. Y sabes qué otra cosa, Fred? porque no hay casualidades, no cierto? hay CAUSALIDADES. Yo soy una persona muy interesante en general, bueno, solía serlo, y muy impaciente y creo que tiene mucho significado que el día de hoy me haya tocado a mí de última dar el examen, y me haya tocado de última hablar, porque eso para mí es una señal y agradezco las señales. Agradezco que haya venido a través de ti. Gracias, gracias a todos, gracias a todas. Esta no es una ceremonia de cierre, esta es una ceremonia de inicio, esta es la inauguración. Muchas gracias.

I have like a soup of ideas in my head right now and many mixed feelings, the first and the most beautiful is the gratitude I feel for the opportunity of having had this course that I had also been pursuing and supposedly it had to be face-to-face and it was not, everyone knows why. I am so grateful for all that you have taught us, I am so grateful for the people I have met. With some I have spent hours studying, trying to study, although gossip got in the way, “gossip” so to speak, “life” got in the way. I am so grateful for that. But on the other hand I am also happy with the fact that it is over, because the fact that it is over means that something new begins, and for something new to begin you have to give it space.

The same has been for everyone, we all have our rolls, each one in his place But you know what? I go away with two sentences that you said and I take them with me, and I treasure them. First: Yoga is not self improvement, but it is self acceptance, and self acceptance is VERY difficult and I do not tell you what it is. I have achieved but at least I am already aware. Yoga is not physical, Yoga is here (in the heart) and it is here (in the mind). Another phrase that I take with me is that the student meets the teacher when it is his time, and pandemic or not, this was MY moment. For some reason. And it has accompanied me in difficult personal situations in which I have been able to resort to the things that we were hearing in class and said “of course, if I do not love myself, how someone Will you love me? “Starting with self acceptance, for me it has been very revealing. And you know what else, Fred? I am grateful that these profound teachings came from you at this time when i was ready! Thank you, thank you all, thank you all. This is not a closing ceremony, this is a commencement ceremony, this is the inauguration. Thanks a lot.”

S.M.

Fred,
Thank you for your teachings in the Plant Nutrition Health Educator Certification. I appreciate all of the knowledge that you shared and found the class really interesting. It was great to learn new ways of looking at healthy living and i am thankful for the information and your commitment to teaching what you know!
With gratitude,

Nancy V.

Hello Fred! I just finished my first chair yoga class for seniors, it was beautiful, they were very happy and relaxed at the end of the class. Im so thankful to you for answer all my questions and doubts, and feel very grateful I was able to take your TT.

Thank you Fred for everything! I’m so thankful for the training I had with you last year. It really helped give me the confidence I needed to just go for it, and dive into my dream. It had been lingering there for 6 years, since my training and India. My training with you though showed me how to make it my lifestyle and still live in the western world. Thank you thank thank you!

Much much love!

Hi Fred,

So am in Guatemala now since a few weeks – been staying at the ‘yoga-house’ a community structured around daily yoga classes. I am enjoying it!

These are the first classes I’ve taken since completing your training in Bogota and I have to say – it’s made me realize that no yoga class

will ever be the same after that Because once your taught and shown how to do something so well – you’re left forever with that double-edged sword being that on the one hand – you know a fantastic way to teach and to learn yoga, but on the other – you instinctively and without being able to help yourself, measure every other yoga class up to that standard.

I want to make one point about touch. In the classes I’ve been doing here I’ve noticed the students never get touched. Occasionally we get adjustments

but it isn’t the same as that healing, loving touch which just says ‘hi’ and thanks the person for being there – making them feel a warm glow and reminding them that they are there, and they are entitled to unconditional love just like everyone else. So thanks to the experience of NOT having touch in classes – I fully appreciate just how important and how healing it is – and how much I want it in MY classes! I want to thank you so very much for making this a priority in your training – I think you and I both know that I didn’t truly appreciate the meaning of touch at first. NOW I get it Thank you for emphasizing it as you do! xxxxx Thank you for everything xxxxx (p.s. wanted to post this on your timeline but couldn’t figure out how)

Dear Fred,

Thank you for creating the healing sequences for lower back pain and for writing your book The Lower Back Bible!

It sure worked for me; the Doctors wanted to fuse my back and swore that i would never skate board again… they were wrong lol

Well, its about time I share this for all my students. I have spoken to a few of you about my past and how I came back to teaching after so many years of injury, recovery, life changes.. etc.. After my 1st accident in 2010 I had to have spinal surgery resulting in a loooooong time of 0 movement. I became depressed, unhealthy and frustrated with everything.. Especially myself. Within 1 year I went from 115lbs to a whopping 180lbs. At that point, I knew I needed to return to my roots and get back to my yoga ASAP. I put this together for my guru and dear friend Fred Busch that helped put me back on the right track. I changed just a few things, never went on a diet, nor ever tried to loose weight. I just wanted to live longer, be healthy and happy. 3 years later, I am stronger now then ever. Physically, mentally… In a way, I owe him my life as he helped me ‘shed’ my old one

“You’re the best guru I could have ever imagined up but you’re so real and I’m so grateful!”

This is why I went to Colorado to train with Fred Busch!!! His yoga teacher training was really LIFE TRAINING. There was so much that I took from it, so much that it has done for my life already… I am forever grateful. Not to mention that the beautiful people I made friends with in the training also added to my life change. There are no coincidences. I went out there during a hard time in my life and I came back renewed. The week I got back I started working as a yoga instructor, and I’m working to be a person that can provide this kind of service to others.

Thanks Fred for everything you do! I love you!

So yes, if you’re considering taking a certification course, you should definitely do so with #FredBuschYoga

hi fred|||

I hope you be great, im only want to write you for to say thanks for everything you teach us! i know i pay my course, but you give me the tools to help the others and the best base… today i check some videos of teacher training and remember a lot of details! my savasana its amazing and i dont say that, its every people who take my class, im really happy works like teacher, for me its the best job in the world! one more time, thanks Fred and I hope see you soon :):)

Fred, thank you so much for believing in me, and allowing me to do my teacher training even when I couldn’t afford to pay you for all of it. I am sharing the practice with so many people and introducing the practice to so many beginners who keep coming back – my heart overflows with gratitude!! Thank you for not doubting me, and for always being so steady and such a wonderful guide!!!

“Somethings i want to say to you my dearest master.

I came into that room with no hopes or expectations of anything, didn’t know what i could do, what miracles where made of. You change my world transform my self and make me a better person everyday. I remember you with great love and try to give daily to others what you gave to me.

I didn’t knew at that time what could i do with my body and how to cease my mind, thank you for everything God bless you a your family, you are a blessing to all of us. Please, please keep on doing what you are doing you make this world a better world the world it was meant to be!

Dear Fred, You have taught me many things which I cherish dearly; but perhaps, the one that has truly been a remarkable awakening for me, were the words you once told me: “you’ve been liberated”. Yesterday I had to face a similarly challenging situation (to say the least), and the first thing that popped into my mind was you saying those exact words. All of a sudden I was overwhelmed by this feeling of “everything-will-be-ok”. I then decided to embrace the moment and truly feel (and believe) that everything happens for a reason and the universe is so much wiser than I’ll ever know. I just needed to drop you a line and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your teachings. You are truly an inspiration and I’ve been (somehow) tremendously blessed to have such a wonderful master, and there aren’t enough words to even begin to tell that you’ll forever have my most profound, sincere and infinite appreciation. It will be my most absolute honor if I ever have a chance to take another course with you. With endless gratitude and admiration,

Barbara

Hi Fred, last night was my first class at the gym. The room was packed, they had to put people on the waiting list. Next week class is already filled up as well. The manager took the class and loved it. She wants to convince the owner to have a second one on the schedule. I also have a third class with my restaurant manager, owner and some of the staff at the first location every Monday. My weight continue to drop, my energy level is awesome, I’m getting stronger, life is good! Consider this student’s testimonial to be a 100% thumbs up!
Marie (Your thankful French Canadian student)

Dear Fred,

Just a note to say Thank You. I know you’re not doing what you do for me nor any person in particular, like you explained this afternoon, but either way I wanted to let you know that I have been experiencing amazing days so far and I really would like to thank you for that because your words and your way of teaching us really plays a big role in that. Lovely to have a master who is direct, no-nonse and blunt yet a loving vessel passing through and showing the wonderful philosophy at the same time. You are helping me to eventually become the teacher who’s singing and dancing in my heart. Just felt the urge to thank you for that I guess… 😊

Hi Fred:) Thanks from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful, healing teachings! We met at your studio and you helped me with wrist adjustments..they have really helped and after over 10 years of practicing yoga, in India and NYC your practice is really helping me in every aspect of my life:)

I went to training with the goals of improving my personal practice and being able to teach a few classes a week. Now, all I want to do is teach! I had a wonderful experience that I will forever remember. Thanks again for everything.

still lost for words. still… Words are simply too small to express my gratitude, so I will write Thank You, but you should know it is as vast as the universe.

Dear Fred,

The teacher training was transformative and so much therapeutic for me. I just wanted to thank you again for sharing so much of yourself, teaching from your heart and thank you for making a difference in my life. I don’t like to label myself as an introvert, but i can be sometimes;-) I did not interact with you as much as I wanted but I appreciate your words in helping me find the path towards my own inner “guru” and navigating thru life in a more peaceful way. The training provided me with the skills to sit confidently and authentically in the seat of the teacher ….with a little practice first I will keep doing my Karma yoga at the studio, talked to Megan, so I will definitely keep in touch.

A follow up on that testimonial about The Lower Back Bible:

Hi Fred, I have to say your book has helped me immensely! And yes I got back on my bicycle.

I’ve been challenged with disability for most of my life (had a stroke at 5yrs old) but I’d been able to enjoy an active life in spite of it, until the last few years. Because of walking difficulties and generally bad posture my lower back pain begun to take over. Nothing else I’d tried had really worked and by Christmas I was hunched over using a walking stick. I found your book searching the internet one very painful sleepless night.

I was amazed that I could perform the positions without making my pain worse and in doing so noticed I was improving with each day. Your Yoga has made me stronger and realigned my body. I accept that I may still aggravate my back doing day to day tasks and because of the way I walk, but I know that these wonderful positions will straighten me out at the end of the day.

I’m still practicing Sequence 1 and for now feel it’s enough. When I explained your methods to my physiotherapist she agreed I should continue with it and couldn’t suggest anything better.

Thank you for taking the time to write the book.”

Hi Fred.
I just wanted to say that what you wrote a few weeks ago about yoga helping to rise above the chatter vs doing other things that let you escape but you go below the chatter really resonated with me. It is sooo true! I just wanted to let you know. Really awesome post I’m still thinking about it Thank you!

It’s been almost five years I think since I have seen you. Thanks for creating and including me in this group; what a wonderful idea. Also, I thoroughly enjoy your “did you know” posts. Furthermore, I just bought and desperately needed your new book “The Lower Back Bible”. I wanted you to know that you are still to this day my favorite yoga teacher by far. I think you are truly gifted. I am glad you are traveling the world sharing your gift.

Take Care,

Dear Fred

I just wanted to send you all an email thanking you for changing my life. I apologize for not sending this sooner. Because of your wonderful yoga teacher training program I am aligned with my purpose here on Earth. I have been exposed this beautiful massive new world that I never knew existed. The more I learn, the more that I find there is to learn. Far from being overwhelmed, for the first time in my life I am truly empowered and I see clearly the direction I need to go in. I am turning my family’s health around by leading them through example to eat properly and increase their activity levels. My father (severe type 2 diabetic) now eats salads everyday for lunch, is losing weight, and stabilizing his blood sugar. Also a huge step, my mother no longer keeps white bread in the house and she eats raw almonds for a snack at work. Those are just a couple of instances where I have influenced others to love themselves more and to be more mindful about their health.

My yoga business is keeping me so busy! I am teaching classes for LA Fitness as well as for a company that offers classes to the timeshare resorts by Disney. My boyfriend’s next door neighbor is a Bikram teacher who just opened his own studio called OM on Fire (which is also the name of a eco-friendly cleaner that he makes himself) and wants to offer a hot power yoga class (Bikram headquarters hasn’t responded to his request to label the studio “Bikram”). It’s in Brevard County, and I’m teaching in Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties currently! Bringing light and balance to all of Central Florida! Haha. In Seminole County, I’m teaching donation-based classes once a month to raise money for an environmental nonprofit that I volunteer for. I got my group fitness certification and also teach aqua fitness!! Hustling! J

I’ve immersed myself into the holistic lifestyle, going to free workshops from foods for pain relief to medicinal plant workshops (I made a tincture for my mom with peppermint and chase berries to ease her menopause-induced hormonal imbalance.) I’m attending the Rasa Lila Fest at the end of this month and attending multiple workshops and classes to boost my knowledge and ability to help others. My goal is to develop a well-rounded wellness coaching practice and change other people’s lives the way you both have changed mine.

The best part is that all of this is just the beginning to the rest of my life. I have so much to learn and I am so excited to learn it. I want to come back to you both for my 500 hour certification, and travel with you to retreats. Even though I live in Central Florida, I want to make the opportunity for myself to come back to Miami for the sole purpose of more training from you both. I have all of these goals written down, and I am chipping away one by one.

In a nutshell, I don’t know where I would be without you. I was led to you in a dark time and discovered that all the despair and frustration in my life was the light within me begging to be expressed. The voice of my nature was muffled and I couldn’t hear the wisdom clearly. I am finally connected with my true Self and can clearly experience the peace and love that most people search their entire lives to find. When negativity enters my life, I acknowledge it as a friend instead of an enemy, leading me along my journey. It is becoming second nature to view unfortunate events as diamonds in the rough. If feel my vibrations lower, I can instantly bring them back up and my heart feels light and free. I can really feel the heaviness of the slow frequency vibrations of negative energy as well as the uplifting floating faster frequency vibrations of the positive energy, and I can CONTROL it. I do not fear loss or sadness because I know it’s all there for me to learn from.

I could go on and on and on about how amazing my life is, but I know you are busy. I am so blessed to have been led to you and my heart overflows with gratitude for everything I have learned as a result of your beautiful wisdom.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s difficult to put into words how the last few months have changed my life.

It all began when I walked into a hot yoga class at Brickell Hot Yoga and fell in love with an amazing class that incorporated deep breathing, heat and guided meditation! I’ve never felt so good after leaving a studio and I’ve tried them all, Pilate’s, Core Fusion, spinning, etc…

After some big life changes I found myself searching for my life passion and how I could help people on a daily basis. As my own yoga practice developed I decided to take my first 200h Teacher Training at Brickell Yoga. I dedicated 30 days of study to practice yoga 4-6 hours a day, eat a vegan diet, daily meditation, and study of this ancient multi-dimensional practice. It was a complete mind-body transformation. My breathing slowed down, and my once Asthmatic Lungs became clear and strong. My whole body slimmed down and became more toned and flexible. The final change, was my nervous energy and my mind became peaceful and relaxed. I’ve never felt better in my life.

Completion of the 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training took my practice and teaching skills to the next level!

Each day was exciting and challenging in the best way. It was the perfect balance of thought provoking, intellectual lectures and yoga asana practice.

There are some people who are truly gifted speakers and Fred Busch one of them! The delivery of information in his lectures is captivating, stern, humorous, and filled with analogies.

I am truly blessed to have learned from you.

I know that Fred Bush Power Vinyasa Yoga is the best. I always get compliments on how my class is the perfect balance of meditation, spirituality, exercise and stretching.

Thanks to Fred and Mayara; I have knowledge which I never would have had, humility of my inner strength, and dedication which continues to surprise me. I have faced fears that I never thought I could over come. I feel younger, healthier, and full of life. Friends have commented on how healthy and happy I look and feel.

It is yoga that keeps me dedicated to yoga.

Marcie Wingate

Fred, first of all – thank you for all of the amazing teaching you provide. I can’t tell you how meaningful it is in my present-day life. Let’s just say that only on my last Afghan deployment have I practiced so consistently (actually you’ve got me FINALLY working in some on my own, so exceeding that), and looked forward to it so much.

Also, please accept my appreciation for how intuitively you ‘get’ your students sometimes. The 2nd time I attended, I mentioned after class that I was so stressed and feeling overburdened, yet HAD to make your class. You hugged me, and that was something I really needed that day 🙂

Finally, I was hoping you could repeat a couple things you mentioned today when you graciously examined my ankle tendon today. There was an external to rub onto it, and a powder to drink…what were those names again?

(and I’m truly sorry you had to touch my roughed-up feet…I’ll get a pedicure, you have my word!)

Thank you once again – and blessings upon you for all that you do.

See you Thursday,

Dan

I’m amazed at how much you were able to pack into just a few weeks. It was a great class and I’m so glad I got the chance to take it with you. You are a very talented trainer and I appreciate the time and dedication you put into transferring some of your wisdom to us!

Peggy

One of the things I like most about having done the 200 and 500 hr Teacher Training with Fred Busch and Allaine Strickland is that I can tailor my classes to my students needs and answer pretty much any questions that come up during or after classes. Second thing is the emphasis on safety and protecting the lower back
and offering the right alternative! Thanks, Fred Busch! Did I also mention my students across all settings and abilities have told me they prefer my style of teaching, too? “Winning!”

Angel

Angel took the words right out of my mouth. Fred Busch, your presence is with me in ALL my classes. Constantly reminding my students about elbows in, belly engaged and bend those knees!! Lol. Just to name a few. Both my 200/500 hour manuals are like bibles of yoga! Your support thru training and after have been invaluable.. Forever grateful in my heart. (And you too Angel Saunders )

melissa

I think I remember you saying that. Unfortunately, I’ve committed another learning avenue over 2013. I have two week long breaks between. Perhaps I could get in on a retreat, training or workshop during a break. I feel like I learned so much from you and am still processing the entire experience. I find myself missing Rishikesh and the awesome energy of the group. Thanks for contributing to an experience that has colored my reality in the most incredible colors. Please keep me posted on upcoming Fred Busch events. Hope all is great! Much aloha,

Grace

Hi Fred,

It is not yet the end of the training but I want to say thank you… I am really happy with my 1st teacher training… I have learnt a lot with you… Thank you… You’re not just a good teacher you’re also a beautiful person but don’t worry I am not going to kiss your feet…

Regarding the end of my training, I have to go to my Godfather’s funeral on Thursday in Paris… I’ll be back on Friday around 3.30pm… For the written exam : do you prefer I take the exam on Wednesday, Friday afternoon or Saturday? Thanks in advance. See you tomorrow xx Céline

Thank You Fred! Thank You! Thank You!!! Amazing training! Amazing Teacher! Lovely Yogi! It was intense and i have learned so much! With Gratitude, Celine

Dear Fred,

Thank you so much for your guide during the course. It’s been an amazing journey for me and for everyone! Your passion, energy and soul are absolutely fantastic. I am so glad i was given this opportunity to learn Yoga and MORE!!!

Mariko

Hello Fred!

Hope you are well my friend! How are you doing? I would have loved to attend the online classes and even open my own studio, but there is no way i can get fast broadband here in the countryside very sad…

After yesterdays yoga i got a comment from my students that they love the way i instruct them into the poses,and i thought of you and feel deep gratitude for all that you have thought me. I would like to share my first video with my daughter, i know there is almost everything different than i have been taught and some mistakes too but even so, it is at least ours. Shared with love.

we are wroking on…. Classes are building up. Just love the results ! people feel better, sleep better, getting stronger and healthier… OM…

Namaste

Timea

Dear Fred,

SO happy to have you back here, Fred! And thanks for the awesome class today!! PS You made Ryan fall in love with yoga all over again! Blessings and the best of luck with the new group tomorrow! See you soon!!

I have searched and searched a Yoga Teacher Training that I would feel that I could connect myself with teachers and the content of the program prior to submission of my application. Then I found Fred’s YTT. I watched his interviews and read his bio… I knew immediately THIS IS IT!

Now I am sitting on my desk and reflecting the YTT that I graduated about a week ago. WHAT A GREAT JOURNEY. THANK YOU, Fred! I also appreciate the warm support from classmates and those who made the program happen. Fred guided us with his tremendously powerful spirit and intentions throughout the course. He taught us wide-range of elements not only for preparing to be a yoga teacher but also for being yourself; surrender, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, intention… Who else could teach us about the life and to be a good yoga teacher with such a deep and a thoughtful way?

Thanks to Fred’s support, I am physically and mentally much stronger than ever before. I became more aware & sensitive to other people and to living things. Everything came to me in a perfect timing. Perhaps I could not have done the same thing or followed Fred’s guidance if I have done this training earlier or later than the present moment. Everything happened in the right time, in the right place and with right people.

I am already thinking about the next step – taking a 500hrs teacher training. I would love to learn again from Fred. In order to reach the stage, I will keep on working hard for myself and for others with the essence that Fred taught us.

Thank you… and Namaste.

(P.S. thank you for your patient for waiting for me to complete my exam… 5.5hrs!)

TESTIMONIAL for Fred Busch Yoga

I got pregnant pretty quickly after completing the FRED Busch HOT POWER Yoga Teacher Training in Malta and this was the best thing that could have happened to me and my still unborn child. The intense physical training developed unknown strength and flexibility in my body. I was in the best shape of my life and that turned out to be an amazing starting point for the creation of life within. The Fred Busch healing sequences were absolutely priceless in assisting me throughout the months of immense physical changes and helped to limit the pains that come with carrying an unborn child. Practicing Yoga daily almost eliminated the common “side effects” of pregnancy (nausea, sleeplessness etc) and turned out to be extremely beneficial during the birth. It stays impossible to imagine giving birth without the learned and practiced focus on breath and deepened meditation, which helped me to move beyond and transcend the mind. Last but not least, I am entirely grateful for the awareness Fred shed on food – nothing has ever transformed my life more towards a compassionate and healthy understanding of nutrition.

The FRED Busch TT helped me throughout the pregnancy and birth in such profound ways that I cannot help but advice every woman to consider absolving it before getting pregnant – regardless if she wants to become and teacher or not. It will strengthen mind, body and soul before and throughout pregnancy – of both mother and child, while at the same time create the mental and physical flexibility to deal with birth and the exhausting but also exciting time after that.

You have been extremely special and inspirational throughout this entire process. I am blessed and honored to have trained under you. I will be in Colorado in the next couple of months, hoping to cross paths with you and learn even more. Thank you for the opportunity to sub Mayara’s classes while she’s away with you. I feel HONORED. This has been a life changing experience, in which I have completely dove in and taken the biggest chance of my life… Quit my job and ready to ROCK IT. Thanks to you, I believe that I can do it.

All I can do is extend my deepest gratitude to you and for making me the best version of me.

Much love.

Love and tones of good vibes!

Sandra H.

Fred, you are the best teacher, you teach yoga, you teach teaching, you teach marketing, you teach surrender. My entire life has changed, (okay, still no boyfriend) , I v changed. One of the most known yoga teacher broke his hand yesterday, and he called me!!! to substitute him. Me?! A beginner! Everyone knows him, he knows everyone. I can’t believe it. He will be there to check me, I m have to give my best and more Fred, thank you!!!!!

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for such a wonderful experience… Even though you weren’t here, your spirit shined through and I felt you here. I can’t wait to personally meet you..and feel your presence. You have been extremely special and inspirational throughout this entire process. I am blessed and honored to have trained under you. I will be in Colorado in the next couple of months, hoping to cross paths with you and learn even more. Thank you for the opportunity to sub Mayara’s classes while she’s away with you. I feel HONORED. This has been a life changing experience, in which I have completely dove in and taken the biggest chance of my life… Quit my job and ready to ROCK IT. Thanks to you, I believe that I can do it.

All I can do is extend my deepest gratitude to you and for making me the best version of me.

Much love.

Hi Fred!

How are you? I wanted to start off by thanking you for inspiring me along my yoga journey. Your teacher training was amazing and certainly a pivotal point in my life. I made fantastic friends that I still keep in touch with and created memories that will last a lifetime. Furthermore, my love for sharing yoga with others increased tenfold to the point that I’ve decided to open my own yoga studio here in Toronto. I wanted you to be one of the first to know before I announce it publicly. It will just be a small, intimate studio, but I’m going to put my heart and soul into and make sure each and every one of my students walks out of there feeling happier and healthier. Depending upon construction, I should be ready to open by early 2014. If you’re ever in Toronto, I would be honoured to have you visit. Zenergy Yoga’s doors will forever be open to you.

Have a wonderful evening and once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with me.

Yours in yoga,

HOLA FRED

marcela magnus

Dear Fred,

Your video about Food and Wellbeing changed my life from day one I watched – Going from having to have daily protein/ meat or fish to vegetarian/ vegan without any efforts from my side. It opened my eyes and became a transformation point for me in many other areas as well.

It’s been over 6 months now and I know there is no turn around for me, no way !…I love it & enjoy it, feeling better/ lighter/ more energy & obvious added a few health benefits: lower cholesterol, weight, 10 times improved PMS & cramps, much more energy.

Thank you from my heart:)

Thank you Fred for your teaching us so much about Yoga Therapy. Your system where there is always an option to keep you moving is invaluable! In fact my favorite students are ones with injuries! I love to help open up their world to the endless possibilities with modifications..

Thank you Fred for helping me understand that many many years ago. Although back then I thought it was unfortunate to injure myself during TT it turned into a blessing in disguise Some of the most valuable information I learned in teacher training with you, Fred . Good for my own practice. Good for students when I was teaching.

Rachel Novetsky

Jote Prakash Kaur Amen Fred. You are an amazing teacher. I learned so much from you. Thank You. Infinite Gratitude. Namaste

Dear Fred,

It´s a while since the last time we where practicing Yoga, it seems like yesterday.
For me was an honor to become your student, I learn so much…
At the beginning, I was anxious for learning the techniques of asanas but the days passed and that feeling sometimes become into sadness because I realized how far I was from enlightenment and how poor my hurt was of love.
Other times, I was angry because I have no time, I was focused in my own world, time, work, etc. Those days were really hard for me.
Know, I understand that all those feelings were part of my transformation for being a better person and that I have to do the TT.
There are moments when your words came into my life and they guide me in my daily labor; when I feel happy, sad or angry there you are, talking to me.
You also give me the opportunity to learn about Yoga history and philosophy, I can’t stop reading and I Google to know more about them.
It fells like magic in my life and I know is God that through you makes me every day a better person.
I remember the first time I saw your eyes. I sow the whole universe in them. I can’t explain what I fell, it was like looking a deep space full of God… I love to see your eyes, really. jajaja
For all these things thank you. Thank you for showing me the path of love, forgiveness, consciousness, for being grateful… for bring YOGA into my life.
Hopping to see you soon.

Hey Fred,

Sorry that it has taken me so long to write you. I have been struggling with writing something that is useful; but, that is also consistent with my more intimate thoughts. Candidly, you truly are a masterful yoga Guru. As I practice and learn more, I understand and appreciate (to a small but greater extent) why you do things the way that you do. I have tried quite a few practices and its rarely even close (although I did think that Dharma Mittra was incredible). I also feel that you do a great job integrating the fundamental ideologies of yoga to our contemporary society (which is not easy since, for example, most of us are probably not willing to detach from all material possessions and wander around the countryside). In addition, I’m really am impressed that you encourage students to become self actualized rather that preaching. Surely, this is really the only effective path to any sort of self improvement. The practice has helped me become so much more happy and emotionally stable. I am profoundly changed. I’m happy and I don’t think that I was before. In many ways I think of my life before yoga, and after yoga. I have gone through things without much trouble all that nearly caused me to have breakdown a number of years earlier.

So, really and truly…THANK YOU. I know that it is not easy to teach day in and day out. Your work is important. Please keep doing what you’re doing!

THANK YOU FRED!!!!!!

Gabi C.

“Two months ago when I started this I didn’t know what was coming my way, I didn’t know the magnitude of everything that we’ve been learning from you.

From the beginning of the year when I started writed you, I felt like I needed to meet this man because there is stuff that I need to learn from him and my GOD you didn’t disappoint.

So, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I’m very thankful for all these beautiful people here that we put our heart and our sweat here.

I also realize that what you taught us, it’s gonna take a long time for us, or at least for me, to actually comprehend and understand how much information there is, and how much good stuff there is!”

“Hace dos meses cuando comencé esto no sabía lo que me esperaba, no sabía la magnitud de todo lo que hemos ido aprendiendo de ustedes.

Desde principios de año, cuando comencé a escribirte, sentí que necesitaba conocer a este hombre porque hay cosas que necesito aprender de él y, DIOS mío, no me decepcionaste.

Entonces, les agradezco desde el fondo de mi corazón y estoy muy agradecido por todas estas hermosas personas aquí que pusimos nuestro corazón y nuestro sudor aquí.

También me doy cuenta de que lo que nos enseñaste, nos llevará mucho tiempo, o al menos a mí, comprender y entender cuánta información hay y cuántas cosas buenas hay”.

“Cuando comencé este curso pensé que, sentí que iba a cambiar varias cosas dentro de mí, y sí he sentido eso. Ahora han pasado estos 2 meses, he sentido como mi cuerpo se ha ido fortaleciendo, no solo físicamente sino también yo como persona me siento más querida por mi misma. Y creo que eso es muy importante para mí. Muchas gracias Fred por todas tus enseñanzas, de verdad que estoy muy muy feliz.”

“When I started this course I thought that I felt that several things were going to change within me, and yes I have felt that. Now these 2 months have passed, I have felt how my body has been getting stronger, not only physically but also as a person I feel more loved by myself. And I think that’s very important to me. Thank you very much Fred for all your teachings, I am really very happy.”

Tali

Cuando empecé hace poco he entrado a lo que es el Yoga empecé este curso con mucha ilusión y he aprendido bastante! He mejorado un montón de cosas, posiciones, fuerza, he recuperado la fuerza que había perdido por muchos años de no moverme mucho y mucho más! La alimentación, también me ha gustado dejar de comer cosas que me habían estado haciendo daño y me encanta que mi hija esté ahora, comiendo frutas me ha encantado, estoy super feliz con lo que he logrado en solo 2 meses.

I started this course with great enthusiasm and I have learned a lot! I have improved a lot of things, positions, strength, I have recovered the strength that I had lost for many years of not moving much and much more! Food, I have also liked to stop eating things that had been harming me and I love that my daughter is now eating fruit, I have loved it, I am super happy with what I have achieved in just 2 months.

Brenda

“Antes de matricularme tenía muchas expectativas y todas mis expectativas han sido superadas pero al máximo. No imaginé que iba a ser tan profundo, pensé que iba a ser diferente. Pero realmente cada semana teórica siempre me dejaba pensando “wow, no puedo creer que recién esté descubriendo esto”

Y estoy muy agradecida porque nos has abierto la mente, yo creo que a todos nos has sembrado un montón de cosas que no conocíamos. Estoy muy agradecida por haber sido parte de este curso y te agradezco mucho, Fred, eres una persona sumamente inspiradora, de verdad te agradezco muchísimo.

Pensé que con todo esto de lo virtual no iba a funcionar, la verdad no puedo creer cómo ha funcionado también!

Es más, hasta ha sido una ventaja porque podrías revisar cuando algo no te quedaba claro. La verdad es que ha sido genial. Te agradezco muchísimo, me voy más que feliz, muchas gracias”

“Before I enrolled, I had high expectations and all my expectations have been exceeded, but to the maximum. I didn’t imagine it was going to be so deep, I thought it was going to be different. But really every theoretical week always left me thinking “wow, I can’t believe I’m just discovering this”

And I am very grateful because you have opened our minds, I think you have planted a lot of things in all of us that we did not know. I am very grateful to have been part of this course and I thank you very much, Fred, you are an extremely inspiring person, I really thank you very much.

I thought that with all this virtual stuff it wasn’t going to work, I really can’t believe how it has worked too!

Moreover, it has even been an advantage because you could review when something was not clear to you. The truth is that it has been great. I thank you very much, I leave more than happy, thank you very much”

Katherine

Realmente me sorprendió este formato online. Ha funcionado super super bien. Estoy super sorprendida también cómo ha cambiado mi estilo de vida, sobre todo con el tema de la alimentación. Me siento mucho más ligera, todavía obviamente me falta mejorar y seguir aprendiendo cosas pero con la alimentación yo creo que me ha ayudado muchísimo a sentirme mejor, a sentirme más ligera.

Obviamente también todo el conocimiento, toda la teoría, han habido un montón de cosas que ni me imaginaba y que realmente, nos has abierto la mente y nos estás llevando a querer seguir, seguir investigando más para nuestro propio bienestar y en verdad estoy muy agradecida contigo Fred”

“I had really high expectations for a long time and I had seen the teaching staff and when I signed up I actually signed up face-to-face and with all this pandemic this change came and it was also a surprise but we had to adapt.

I was really surprised by this online format. It has worked super super well. I am also super surprised how my lifestyle has changed, especially when it comes to food. I feel much lighter, obviously I still need to improve and continue learning things, but with food I think it has helped me a lot to feel better, to feel lighter.

Obviously also all the knowledge, all the theory, there have been a lot of things that I didn’t even imagine and that really, you have opened our minds and you are leading us to want to continue, to continue investigating more for our own well-being and I am really very grateful, very happy with you Fred”

“Hola Fred, estoy muy agradecida y también con todo el equipo!

Yo cuando entré en verdad estaba pasando una situación muy difícil, ya había pagado el adelanto pero casi no la hago porque la verdad era que quería estar en otro planeta, estaba muy en el subsuelo de la depresión pero una persona me dijo “hazlo hazlo hazlo”

Y a última hora me comuniqué con Tai y ya. Y acá estoy, viva, y de alguna forma fue, sí, mi mano de emergencia. Y gracias, Fred, porque yo no quería vivir más.

Y se que tengo muchas cosas por sanar pero yo considero que contigo ya estoy a la mitad del camino, me siento muy muy orgullosa de ser la persona que soy. Por eso de alguna forma siempre preguntaba cosas relacionadas con las emociones y los resentimientos. Todavía tengo muchas cosas que trabajar pero todo lo que tu me has enseñado, las preguntas de las chicas, me han ayudado un montón y me han salvado, la verdad.

A pesar de que ya he sido alumna del Yoga ya varios años pero el hecho de estar del otro lado me hace además tomar consciencia de hacerme responsable de mi vida.

Si yo no me cuido, si yo no decido cuidarme, si no decido respetarme, si no decido amarme como soy, ¿quién más lo va a hacer, no? y entonces todo este equipo humano me han ayudado a despertar eso, que yo siempre me “valoraba” pero el Yoga y tus enseñanzas es de otra perspectiva, ya no una perspectiva superficial “mundana” como le digo yo, ya está adentro y eso jamás lo voy a olvidar.

Son cosas que en concepto uno lo sabe, pero uno necesita a una persona preparada, realmente como tu, Fred, para sentir que es así, para sentir que eso es real. No es lo mismo que me vaya a un instituto y me lo enseñe un X, tu eres una persona que ha vivido tantas cosas que se ha preparado para esto y eso es lo que expresas!”

“Hello Fred, I am very grateful and also with the whole team!

When I entered I was really going through a very difficult situation, I had already paid the advance but I almost didn’t do it because the truth was that I wanted to be on another planet, I was deep in the subsoil of depression but one person told me “do it, do it, do it “

And at the last minute I contacted Tai and that’s it. And here I am, alive, and in a way it was, yes, my emergency hand. And thank you, Fred, because I didn’t want to live anymore.

And I know that I have many things to heal but I consider that with you I am already halfway there, I feel very, very proud to be the person I am. That’s why somehow I always asked things related to emotions and resentments. I still have many things to work on but everything you have taught me, the girls’ questions, have helped me a lot and have saved me, really.

Despite the fact that I have already been a student of Yoga for several years, the fact of being on the other side also makes me aware of taking responsibility for my life.

If I don’t take care of myself, if I don’t decide to take care of myself, if I don’t decide to respect myself, if I don’t decide to love myself as I am, who else is going to do it, right? and then all this human team has helped me to awaken that I always “valued” myself but Yoga and your teachings is from another perspective, no longer a superficial “mundane” perspective as I say, it is already inside and that never I’m going to forget it.

They are things that one knows in concept, but one needs a prepared person, really like you, Fred, to feel that it is so, to feel that it is real. It is not the same as going to a high school and being taught by an X, you are a person who has experienced so many things that has been prepared for this and that is what you express!”

Y hoy cuando nos contaste del Yoga en sillas, en verdad, yo me sentí super emocionada porque se lo puedes permitir a todos y es algo que yo nunca lo había imaginado.

Y no saben lo feliz que me siento, a pesar de haber intentado llevarlo presencial por 2 años, lo llevé Online y ha sido increíble. No sabes lo feliz que me puedo sentir con todo, con mi comida, con mi mat, con mi práctica, y tengo además las ganas de poder transmitir eso.

En verdad algo mágico. En verdad te lo agradezco, lo agradezco de corazón, y ahora entiendo porqué todas esas personas corrían hacia tus clases.

I was lucky enough to see you and I didn’t understand why people ran to your classes and I said “I have to go to that class” and I went. And now I understand it, because I always looked for Yoga from the physical side, from the simpler side and I am left with the message that Yoga is really for everyone, that I did not believe it.

And today when you told us about Yoga on chairs, in truth, I felt super excited because you can afford it to everyone and it is something that I had never imagined.

And you don’t know how happy I feel, despite having tried to take it in person for 2 years, I took it online and it’s been amazing. You don’t know how happy I can feel with everything, with my food, with my mat, with my practice, and I also want to be able to transmit that.

Truly something magical. I really appreciate it, I really appreciate it, and now I understand why all those people were running to your classes.”

Quiero agradecer a ti Fred! Mi objetivo no era quizá enseñar, y he estado pasando por un momento muy duro y de mucho trabajo y quizá por eso no me han visto tampoco en algunas tardes. Conversé contigo Fred también porque tanta computadora y tantas cosas era demasiado para mí, y yo entonces dije QUIERO SEGUIR de todas maneras, quiero seguir aprendiendo pero voy a ir un poco lento, teniendo en cuenta el “menos es más” y ahí fue un poco un alivio para mí, e igual estando en las clases de teoría los fines de semana, a veces durante la semana compartiendo con ustedes y viendo cómo desde un inicio comenzamos con una clase práctica de Fred y todos siguiendolo, y poco a poco, hasta que hoy día yo también me atreví a dictar la clase.

No pensé que podía enseñar y me da mucho orgullo, para mi!

Estoy feliz de transmitir esa paz que nos da el Yoga, que no solo es lo físico, sino que me he quedado muy “wow” bien tocada con lo que ha dicho. Siento mucho agradecimiento y a las personas que he podido compartir, estoy muy agradecida porque me llevo amistades, me llevo amistades que no pensé hacer de esta manera virtual. Muchas gracias Fred, por esta oportunidad.

I want to thank you Fred! Perhaps my goal was not to teach, and I have been going through a very hard time and a lot of work and perhaps that is why they have not seen me in some afternoons either. I also talked to you, Fred, because so many computers and so many things were too much for me, and I then said I WANT TO CONTINUE anyway, I want to continue learning but I’m going to go a little slow, taking into account the “less is more” and there it was a little a relief for me, and the same being in the theory classes on the weekends, sometimes during the week sharing with you and seeing how from the beginning we started with a practical class of Fred and everyone following him, and little by little, until today I also dared to dictate the class.

I didn’t think I could teach and it makes me very proud, for me!

I am happy to transmit that peace that Yoga gives us, which is not only physical, but I have been very “wow” well touched by what he has said. I am very grateful and to the people I have been able to share, I am very grateful because I am taking friends, I am taking friendships that I did not think to make in this virtual way. Thank you very much Fred, for this opportunity.

“Hola Fred! ¡Estoy super agradecida! Todas las personas a las que he conocido, todas las enseñanzas que han llegado hacia mí, y ha sido muy mágico para mí!

Porque yo toda la vida vivía con mucho dolor por dentro porque yo veía mucha maldad humana y me dolía mucho, como por ejemplo, cómo se trataban a los animales y muchas cosas distintas, yo sentía todo ese dolor y a través de este curso he aprendido y he llegado a entender porqué las personas hacen lo que hacen y cómo y qué herramientas puedo utilizar para intentar hacer ayudar a esas personas.

Y realmente ha sido una experiencia preciosa en general, como ha dicho mi compañera, enseñanzas que van a durar una vida porque creo que no me va a dar nunca tiempo absorber todo lo que hemos aprendido en estos dos meses porque es una magnitud increíble y ha sido algo lleno de muchos desafíos y ha sido muy intenso.

Yo por momentos pensaba que no iba llegar porque era mucho para complementar con mi vida diaria pero me di cuenta que todo merecía la pena y que he mejorado en tantos aspectos de mi vida, he mejorado en mi fuerza de voluntad, mi disciplina, mi fuerza física y fuerza mental y la verdad que ha sido, han sido dos meses que realmente han cambiado mi vida y es solamente el inicio de un cambio entonces estoy muy agradecida a ti Fred!

Gracias por haber transmitido todos estos conocimientos que no tienen ningún precio y a todo el equipo que ha sido todo fantástico y genial, gracias.”

Hi Fred! I am super grateful! All the people I have met, all the teachings that have come my way, and it has been very magical for me!

Because all my life I lived with a lot of pain inside because I saw a lot of human evil and it hurt me a lot, for example, how animals were treated and many different things, I felt all that pain and through this course I have learned and I have come to understand why people do what they do and how and what tools I can use to try and help those people.

And it really has been a precious experience in general, as my partner has said, teachings that will last a lifetime because I think that I will never have time to absorb everything that we have learned in these two months because it is an incredible magnitude and it has It has been something full of many challenges and it has been very intense.

At times I thought that I would not get there because it was too much to complement my daily life, but I realized that everything was worth it and that I have improved in so many aspects of my life, I have improved in my willpower, my discipline, my strength. physical and mental strength and the truth that it has been, it has been two months that have really changed my life and it is only the beginning of a change so I am very grateful to you Fred!

Thank you for having transmitted all this knowledge that is priceless and to the entire team that has been all fantastic and great, thank you”

Hola Fred! principalmente agradecimiento infinito! He visto el curso muchas veces y quería hacer el profesorado muchas veces y el tiempo no me daba y de pronto algo que está completamente mal para el mundo ha sido muy bueno para mí… y mi mamá tiene una condición física y todos hacían y podía guiarlos y poder ver que mi mamá come mejor.

El cambio no es por la teoría, no es por la práctica, el cambio es como un estilo de vida.

Fred siempre decía que esto es como el inicio de una vida y es así. Estoy muy feliz, estoy muy agradecida.

Yo había llevado muchos pequeños cursos teóricos que me habían despertado pero este curso tuyo Fred, así como has hecho las cosas es otra dimensión.

Aún dejando de lado a veces a las personas que queremos porque teníamos que estar todo el día concentrados en esto y revisar y estudiar más, pero valió demasiado la pena.

Y bueno, solo muchas gracias.”

Hi Fred! mainly infinite thanks! I’ve seen the course many times and I wanted to do the teaching many times and I didn’t have time and suddenly something that is completely wrong for the world has been very good for me… and my mother has a physical condition and everyone did and I could guide them and see that my mom eats better.

Change is not because of theory, it is not because of practice, change is like a lifestyle.

Fred always said that this is like the beginning of a life and it is. I am very happy, I am very grateful.

I had taken many small theoretical courses that had awakened me but this course of yours, Fred, just as you have done things, is another dimension.

Still leaving aside sometimes the people we love because we had to be all day focused on this and review and study more, but it was so worth it.

And well, just thank you very much.”

———–

“Fred! Gracias. Es muy emocionante todo, la verdad. Yo ya estaba muy emocionada antes de empezar así que ahora estoy mucho más emocionada.

Fred esto ha sido mucho más de lo que esperaba porque ha sido incríble, he hecho este curso junto con mi hija.

Ha sido un momento de descubrimiento, de compañeros, de conocerte a ti, de conocer más el Yoga porque no tenía nada que ver lo que he encontrado con lo que yo hacía de práctica física, y he encontrado un mundo increíble, una ventana que se ha abierto para mí toda la vida. No tengo palabras. Ahora mismo solo siento que no voy a estar sola nunca más porque a partir de ahora, el Yoga estará conmigo, esté donde esté, y haga lo que haga.

No se si alguna vez lo voy a enseñar, me encantaría compartir esto con más gente pero ahora solo pienso en todo lo que esto me está enseñando a mí. No tiene precio. Muchísimas gracias, Fred porque de verdad que hubo momentos duros donde tocamos fondo, “esto no se puede, con el zoom, con esto” para mí era todo un challenge pero estoy muy orgullosa de mí misma también, de todo lo que me ha demostrado eso a nivel de superar cosas, superar metas y cada día creer más en mí, y saber que podía hacerlo y ser capaz.

Tengo a un gran amigo el Yoga, a partir de hoy en mi vida, bueno a partir del día que empecé el profesorado. Gracias, gracias por todo.

Gracias Fred por ser como eres y por ser tan profesional y gracias por todo lo que nos has dado. Gracias.”

“Fred! Thanks. It’s all very exciting, really. I was already very excited before we started so now I’m much more excited.

Fred this has been much more than I expected because it has been incredible, I have done this course together with my daughter.

It has been a moment of discovery, of colleagues, of getting to know you, of learning more about Yoga because what I have found had nothing to do with what I did in physical practice, and I have found an incredible world, a window that has opened for me my whole life. I have no words. Right now I just feel that I will not be alone anymore because from now on, Yoga will be with me, wherever I am, and whatever I do.

I don’t know if I will ever teach it, I would love to share this with more people but now I only think about everything that this is teaching me. Priceless. Thank you very much, Fred because there were really hard moments where we hit rock bottom, “you can’t do this, with the zoom, with this” for me it was quite a challenge but I am also very proud of myself, of everything you have shown me that at the level of overcoming things, surpassing goals and believing more in myself every day, and knowing that I could do it and be capable.

I have a great friend Yoga, from today in my life, well from the day I started teaching. Thank you, thank you for everything.

Thank you Fred for being who you are and for being so professional and thank you for everything you have given us. Thanks.”

Cintya

Trabajo en oficina toda la vida desde que tengo como 18 años y cuando encontré el Yoga me enamoré del Yoga siempre quise hacer este profesorado pero el tiempo no me permitía porque mi trabajo en la oficina es bastante demandante.

Estoy muy agradecida Fred por tu enseñanza, por tu buena disposición, por todo lo que nos has transmitido en estas semanas. Han sido realmente bastante intensas, yo lo he sentido bastante intenso no solo de manera física sino también ha sido muy retador. Toda la semana nos traías información nueva, conocimientos nuevos que probablemente muchas de nosotras no habíamos tenido la oportunidad de conocerte.

En mi caso particular ya había llevado un curso de Raja Yoga antes y siempre en búsqueda de poder conectar con mi esencia, con lo que soy, con mi aura, con mi espíritu. Esto me dió mucha más información a mi vida. Te agradezco mucho.

Ha sido un reto, realmente me siento muy feliz de haber llegado hasta el final porque en algún momento sentí que de repente ya no podría más, hasta pensé “de repente sería mejor que me retire porque estoy trabajando y también estoy con el profesorado y también estoy con mis temas de la casa” pero finalmente decidí seguir adelante, continuar y estoy muy agradecida, muy feliz de que esto haya sido posible porque esto para mí es un sueño hecho en realidad.

I have been working in an office all my life since I was about 18 years old and when I found Yoga I fell in love with Yoga. I always wanted to do this teacher training but time did not allow me because my work in the office is quite demanding.

I am very grateful Fred for your teaching, for your good disposition, for everything you have transmitted to us in these weeks. They have been really quite intense, I have felt quite intense not only physically but it has also been very challenging. All week you brought us new information, new knowledge that probably many of us had not had the opportunity to meet you.

In my particular case, I had already taken a Raja Yoga course before and always in search of being able to connect with my essence, with what I am, with my aura, with my spirit. This gave me much more information to my life. Thank you so much.

It has been a challenge, I really feel very happy to have reached the end because at some point I felt that suddenly I couldn’t take it anymore, I even thought “suddenly it would be better for me to retire because I am working and I am also with the teaching staff and also I’m with my home issues” but finally I decided to go ahead, continue and I am very grateful, very happy that this has been possible because this for me is a dream come true.

Me ha parecido increíble que haya fluido tan bien y que nos hayamos acostumbrado a esta “normalidad”. De verdad ha superado mis expectativas y me reafirmo que este es el camino que quiero seguir. Ya hace tiempo lo vengo pensando, me encanta el Yoga y haber aprendido un poquito (tan solo ese poquito) porque hay MUCHA información, de la filosofía que hay detrás, me abre como que el deseo de seguir conociendo y profundizando más porque como digo, es lo que quiero hacer y lo voy a hacer.

Me encanta, me hace muy feliz, me siento muy bien física y mentalmente y de verdad solo tengo palabras de agradecimiento para ti, por lo profesional que has sido, lo buen maestro que has sido y de verdad que el día de hoy me ha parecido sumamente especial, después de los exámenes lo que nos has enseñado sobre filosofía adicional sobre el NEW THOUGHT y todo lo que has mencionado ahí!

Me identifiqué mucho con lo que dijiste sobre las sugestiones porque en algún momento yo he tenido una experiencia muy fea de ataques de pánico que surgieron de la nada y busqué ayuda, seguía con el Yoga y la verdad las sugestiones me acompañaron y me ayudaron muchísimo, muchísimo, muchísimo, y de verdad que es el poder de la mente y otra cosa que me dió mucha alegría!

También saber que podemos ayudar a personas con el Yoga en Silla… realmente cuando estabas hablando de que nos ibas a enseñar Yoga en silla yo ni siquiera, (que obtusa puede ser a veces de siquiera imaginarme cuál es la razón por la que podría yo aprender un Yoga en silla, “por qué voy a aprender un Yoga en silla?”) pero no vi más allá… y realmente haber hecho y practicar la secuencia que nos mostraste, me abrió también mucho la mente y decir “qué increíble, esto realmente podía traer TANTA PAZ, tanto bienestar a gente que de repente no es tan afortunado como uno”

Y pensé en las personas mayores, en las personas abandonadas y en el Karma Yoga y realmente me encantaría tener la experiencia de hacerlo en algún momento y estoy muy muy agradecida, siento muchísima gratitud por todo esto. Gracias, Fred, no tengo más palabras porque creo que igual no llegaría a expresar todo lo que estoy sintiendo en este momento.

Gracias. ¡no puedo creer que se haya pasado tan rápido!

Gracias.”

“Fred, I am extremely happy to have given myself this gift. I really made the right decision. I listened to the people I had to listen to. For me, the experience has been incredible. I am extremely grateful for what you have taught us Fred, for the group, for the people, for how this course has flowed.

I found it incredible that it has flowed so well and that we have become accustomed to this “normality”. It has really exceeded my expectations and I reaffirm that this is the path I want to follow. I have been thinking about it for a long time, I love Yoga and having learned a little bit (just this little bit) because there is A LOT of information, about the philosophy behind it, it opens me up like the desire to continue knowing and going deeper because as I say, It’s what I want to do and I’m going to do it.

I love it, it makes me very happy, I feel very well physically and mentally and I really only have words of gratitude for you, for how professional you have been, what a good teacher you have been and really that today has seemed to me extremely special, after the exams what you have taught us about additional philosophy about the NEW THOUGHT and everything you have mentioned there!

I identified a lot with what you said about the suggestions because at some point I have had a very ugly experience of panic attacks that came out of nowhere and I looked for help, I continued with Yoga and the truth is that the suggestions accompanied me and helped me a lot. a lot, a lot, and it really is the power of the mind and another thing that gave me a lot of joy!

Also knowing that we can help people with Chair Yoga… really, when you were talking about teaching us Chair Yoga, I didn’t even know (how obtuse I can be sometimes to even imagine what is the reason why I could I learn chair Yoga, “why am I going to learn chair Yoga?”) but I didn’t see any further… and actually having done and practiced the sequence you showed us, it also opened my mind a lot and saying “what incredible, this could really bring SO MUCH PEACE, so much well-being to people who are suddenly not as lucky as one”

And I thought about old people, abandoned people and Karma Yoga and I would really love to have the experience of doing it at some point and I’m very very grateful, I feel so much gratitude for all of this. Thank you, Fred, I have no more words because I think I might not be able to express everything I’m feeling right now.

Thanks. I can’t believe it went by so fast!

Thanks.”

Pamela

“Quiero agradecer a la vida, a Dios por darme este regalo.

Al comienzo estaba dudosa, Y siempre quise llevar el profesorado pero como dicen muchos, por el tema del trabajo era imposible, para mí esto era imposible… y mira, las sorpresas que da la vida… pues vi el profesorado.

Mi madre me dijo como nunca, me dió el empujón que necesitaba y lo llevé. Al comienzo dije “vamos a ver, es un Yoga más profundo, quiero saber qué más siento” porque a parte las clases, pero todo este tiempo porque ya casi van a hacer casi 2 meses, ha habido un cambio en mí.

Nunca pensé ser, no comer carne durante dos meses, eso al comienzo era un reto para mí, pero no fue tan difícil en el modo en que lo vi, las cosas que tu decía que tenía mucha coherencia, mucha verdad, entonces no he sufrido, porque todo el mundo te pregunta “por qué no puedes comer carne? no te provoca?” no.

Lo que es Yoga, es otro mundo para mí. Te hace mirar las cosas con otros ojos, es otra mente diferente, la manera de pensar, lo que tu enseñas te llega adentro y si lo sientes, para mí, yo lo he sentido y se que me falta mucho más, hay mucha información, hay un camino largo y estoy feliz.

Yo pensé que la felicidad era por ratitos en momentos específicos, pero al estar acá en estos 2 meses yo siento que la felicidad es más constante, me siento más feliz y eso se me dió de la nada y con cosas tan sencillas ya veo totalmente diferente las cosas.

Soy más feliz por más ratos. Ahora, al tener esta herramienta, que es el Yoga, se que puedo compartir y puedo ayudar a las personas, de cualquier modo porque se puede ayudar por todos lados.

Entonces, de verdad gracias por cruzarte en mi camino. Gracias por compartir todo lo que sabes, de ofrecerlo así nomás esto no ha sido fácil, creo que la mayoría sabe, pero soy feliz ahorita y es mi tesoro y se que lo puedo compartir con alguien más. “

“I want to thank life, God for giving me this gift.

At the beginning I was doubtful, and I always wanted to take the professorship but as many say, because of the job it was impossible, for me this was impossible… and look, the surprises that life gives… well, I saw the professorship.

My mother told me like never before, she gave me the push she needed and I took it. At the beginning I said “let’s see, it’s a deeper Yoga, I want to know what else I feel” because apart from the classes, but all this time because it’s almost 2 months, there has been a change in me.

I never thought I would be, not eat meat for two months, that at the beginning was a challenge for me, but it wasn’t that difficult the way I saw it, the things that you said had a lot of coherence, a lot of truth, so I haven’t suffered , because everyone asks you “why can’t you eat meat? Doesn’t it provoke you?” No.

What is Yoga, is another world for me. It makes you look at things with different eyes, it is a different mind, the way of thinking, what you teach comes to you inside and if you feel it, for me, I have felt it and I know that I need much more, there is a lot of information, there is a long road and I am happy.

I thought that happiness was for a little while at specific moments, but being here in these 2 months I feel that happiness is more constant, I feel happier and that came to me out of nowhere and with such simple things I already see totally different things.

I am happier for longer. Now, having this tool, which is Yoga, I know that I can share and help people, in any way, because you can help everywhere.

So, really thank you Fred for crossing my path. Thank you for sharing everything you know, to offer it just like that, this has not been easy, I think most of you know, but I am happy right now and it is my treasure and I know that I can share it with someone else.”

“Me siento muy privilegiada de haber podido participar en este curso por más que todos me dijeran “no lo hagas, es virtual, mejor esperate al próximo año, mejor hazlo luego” pero yo sentí una atracción tan fuerte, era como “necesito hacerlo”!

Y me he recuperado mucha confianza que había perdido, siento que mi corazón está abierto, estoy llena de amor, estoy llena de felicidad y sobre todo me sobra, puedo dar, no solo para mí.

Estoy muy agradecida y estoy muy contenta, muy contenta de haber tomado la decisión sin mucho, totalmente irracional, dije “tengo que hacer esto” y fue tal cual.

También siento que recién estamos empezando, como si abriera una ventana, o una puerta más bien. Y recién pienso “recién voy a empezar” pero tengo muchas ganas de hacerlo y de seguir enseñando. Gracias Fred”

“I feel very privileged to have been able to participate in this course even though everyone told me “don’t do it, it’s virtual, better wait until next year, better do it later” but I felt such a strong attraction, it was like “I need to do it”!

And I have regained a lot of confidence that I had lost, I feel that my heart is open, I am full of love, I am full of happiness and above all I have plenty, I can give, not only for myself.

I am very grateful and I am very happy, very happy that I made the decision without much, totally irrational, I said “I have to do this” and it was just like that.

I also feel that we are just beginning, as if opening a window, or a door rather. And I just thought “I’m just going to start” but I really want to do it and continue teaching. thank you Fred”

Gaby

Estoy pensando en el 2 de octubre, el día anterior al inicio del profesorado. Decidí matricularme en el profesorado porque en realidad yo tenía, bueno, tengo una lesión en el hombro que fue mi principal inseguridad.

Hace más de un año cuando me lesioné, en Mayo del año pasado, perdí toda la confianza que de repente había construido yo, haciendo mis posturas, sintiendo como muy avanzada en Yoga, y después fue como que me sentí muy como derrotada porque de verdad yo no podía hacer nada y recuerdo mucho la clase de sanación que nos diste y fue como una revelación.

En verdad yo dije “he estado pensando tan mal todo este tiempo” me sentí afortunada como tú nos enseñaste, me sentí afortunada de tener una lesión y en verdad estoy muy agradecida, Fred, en verdad me has ayudado a retomar más la confianza en mí.

Solo deseo que el Yoga y todo lo que nos has enseñado pueda vivir en mi corazón y mi mente. Gracias en verdad por todo lo que nos han enseñado, Fred, gracias por todas las cosas que nos diste, hace un rato alguien mencionaba que en verdad todo lo que nos enseña solamente nos invitaba a cuestionarnos a preguntarnos, a pensar en más cosas y en verdad creo que todos los días termina la clase y solamente empiezo a debatir con mi esposo, me dice cosas y yo le digo y es como que en realidad se ha convertido en algo muy bonito.

Justo ahora que estábamos almorzando le decía “ya mañana se acaba” y él me preguntaba “y vas a seguir siendo vegetariana?” jaja y en verdad sí, esto es el inicio, creo que algunas personas piensan que “ya mañana acaba” y así como un curso cualquiera que empieza y termina y de ahí ya no hay más clases, pero esto definitivamente es algo que empieza y creo que para todos es el inicio de algo. Estoy infinitamente agradecida contigo y sobre todo con Dios porque me ha dado la oportunidad de realizar este curso.

I’m thinking of October 2, the day before the start of teaching. I decided to enroll in teaching because I actually had, well, I have a shoulder injury that was my main insecurity.

More than a year ago when I got injured, in May of last year, I lost all the confidence that I had suddenly built up, doing my postures, feeling like I was very advanced in Yoga, and then it was like I felt very defeated because really I couldn’t do anything and I remember very much the kind of healing you gave us and it was like a revelation.

Actually I said “I’ve been thinking so bad all this time” I felt lucky as you taught us, I felt lucky to have an injury and I’m really very grateful, Fred, you have really helped me to regain more confidence in myself .

I only wish that Yoga and everything you have taught us can live in my heart and mind. Thank you really for everything you have taught us, Fred, thank you for all the things you gave us, a while ago someone mentioned that really everything you teach us only invited us to question ourselves, to ask ourselves, to think about more things and to I really think that every day the class ends and I only start to debate with my husband, he tells me things and I tell him and it’s like it has actually become something very nice.

Just now that we were having lunch I told him “it’s over tomorrow” and he asked me “and are you going to continue being a vegetarian?” haha and really yes, this is the beginning, I think some people think that “tomorrow ends” and just like any course that starts and ends and from there there are no more classes, but this is definitely something that begins and I think that for everyone is the beginning of something. I am infinitely grateful to you and above all to God because he has given me the opportunity to take this course.

——-

I don’t have enough words to express all my gratitude to you and your staff!

Thanks!!!! It’s been one of the most powerful exp of my life!! Thank you thank you thank you!! I’ve been sooo deeply inspired by you!! THANKS!!

Hi Fred!

First of all, I’d like to thank you because your training is really amazing.

You surprised me beyond words in your thoroughness, depth and inner intelligence.

So thank you.

Thanks for your understanding and thanks again for this wonderful opportunity to learn from you. I am extremely grateful.

Dear Fred please keep me informed of your public class schedule…I want to be part of as many of your classes, by far you are the best!

“Dear Fred:

Thank you so much for everything you taught us. I appreciate all you transmitted us in these last weeks. The knowledge you learned from your masters and your own experience and personal perspective of life, yoga. Thank you for open us your heart. You will always be in mine, for example when I hear the music you copied us, so full of energy and so profound as far as I can understand the songs with my limited English and more limited Sanskrit but the language of the heart is somehow ever understand 🙂

This teacher training was a gift from heaven for me and you are like the angel that God choosed for opening us the door to yoga world, where love is raining and the bliss is growing like flowers of all kind of colors from the ground, a trip to the inside of ourselves, to remember what we really are and not being afraid of opening our hearts whatever happens. Simple words but they change so much the way eyes can see.

In a way these weeks were for me a kind of vacation of mother activities, wife and a full time connection with yoga, with everyone and everything, with God.Now I’m recharged for taking again my normal activities and probably beginning to teach yoga. I don’t know how to start but I may have some ideas when the time comes …”

“I am so thankful for all the insight and teachings you blessed me and everyone with. Thank you for helping me birth new possibilities in my life. I’ll be in touch, and will be sending pictures soon.”

Thank you Fred, for everything you do, What I’ve learned from your teacher training, the things you’ve exposed/re-exposed me to has been the most personally grounding, humbling, Gratitude invoking, and Self Fulfilling experience for me.

I feel so grounded in Truth and in Love, and it is manifesting greater than ever could have been thought possible.

What you do Fred, your Being, and your Truth. Truly Make a Difference to so many more people than I think you could Imagine.

Thank you, I Love You.

Hi Fred

I really wanted to say is how grateful I feel for all the amazing wealth of knowledge and wisdom that you are bestowing on us.

i have only reached my own journey of questing for light through reaching the very depths of darkness many years ago. You are so crystal clear and mindful and inspirational and I feel completely blessed by this experience.

Thanks for all that you share

Fred,

Thank you so much for being an amazing, authentic, and genuine teacher. You’ve taught us the true meaning of YOGA! Blessings.

Dear Fred,

Meeting you and taking your course has been life changing for me. Thank GOD for Yoga. It has helped me so much. God Bless You.

Fred,

I came away from your class yesterday, inspired to take a fresh approach to my beautiful strong back…:)

Ring me so we can schedule a learning session. Thank u for extending your kindness. It was palpable.

Hey Fred

I know that student testimonials are valuable and wanted to express my thanks for sharing your practice of yoga with me. Your teaching is truly special and extraordinary. My fitness level has been significantly elevated and I feel physically great; but the real gift is that the practice has made me profoundly calmer, less stressed and joyful. Your sequences and approach to asana while maintaining meditative breath and mind, results in an amazing and transformational experience. I tell my friends that they have probably not truly experienced yoga until they have practiced with you. I feel fortunate and grateful to have the opportunity to practice with a master with your experience and knowledge. Thank you very much.

“Hey Fred, How are you? I wanted to just say hello and let you know im teaching my first pre-natal yoga class today and am very excited. I have been teaching weekly classes at studio in kensington. I wanted to let you know that there isn’t a day that goes by that i dont think of you and all the knowledge you have passed on to me. I am forever grateful for all of your words of wisdom which i again i use daily in my own classes and all of the sequences and incredible techniques i apply each and every day. Thank you ( much overdue)! Hope all is well.”

Hi Fred!

It was so nice to having talked to you last Sunday. You’re full of

peace and grace! Soo good for everyone around you since you transfer

that in an immense and joyful way!

Can’t wait!!

Thanks

“Fred, Thank you so much for being an amazing, authentic, and genuine teacher. You taught us the true meaning of Yoga. Blessings… “

“Dear Fred, A note of thanks to you. I’m sure you don’t remember me but I came to the Brickell studio in early 2008 with my daughter. It was my first time and yoga has really saved my life. I practice all kinds of styles of yoga nearly every day and am progressing quickly to a place of great happiness. Anyway, I thought you might want to know that the work you do really changes people, in this case, me. I will hopefully see you in a yoga class somewhere in Miami soon! “

“Dear Fred, I am so excited for the upcoming teacher training! I can’t imagine being in the hands of someone more gifted than you!!!”
