What makes Doron Hanoch so phenomenal is his loving kindness for each and every student while imparting the knowledge and skills they each need and he does so with calmness and humor. –Lorraine G. Moore, Menlo Park Workshop.

When I first attended Doron’s yoga I have never been introduced to the Mysore style, nor had I ever experienced the luxury of being close to my teacher. Doron’s mysore helped me establish a practice that was uniquely my own. The Ashtanga sequence, after seven weeks, has become so engrained in my mind that instead of ‘forgetting’ to practice, I spend half the day planning a time that I can do so. I could not have asked for a better teacher than Doron; he is easy to talk to and takes a personal interest in each of his students. Doron treats me – and all his students – with the utmost kindness and compassion. Doron is one of the few teachers who cares whole-heartedly about each one of his students. It is impossible not to love him. The Ashtanga sequence has become an essential part of my life. – Jacquelin Kaye. New Zealand

Over the past four years I’ve battled a series of injuries and other setbacks that sucked the life (the fun) out of my athletic career, and it had been a long time since I had managed to find “the Zone,” in training or competition. Starting up a yoga practice under your warm, friendly guidance was the smartest, most valuable and rewarding thing I’ve done this year. The benefits were immediate and obvious. My ability to handle stress and adversity – not just in training and competition, but also in everyday life – skyrocketed pretty much overnight. After just two or three sessions, I found myself falling into a happy, positive mental space in training, and by the end of ten sessions I’d collected a number of great race results and, more importantly, great race experiences. Finally, being an elite athlete is fun again. I am so deeply appreciative. Thank you!!  – Kelly Crowley – Paralympic swimming gold medalist, Professional cyclist

I thoroughly enjoyed every class I attended with you and I was always surprised at the end of class because it seemed that it ended too soon. I am also a yoga teacher and I have tried to emulate your style of teaching as you are so knowledgeable, kind and truly inspirational.  You have been a mentor to me without knowing it.  Thank you for the impact you have had on my life and my teaching. – Louis, Palo Alto

Today, several members insisted on speaking with me after our Noon classes, and wanted to extend their genuine appreciation for your class.  They had not met you before, however (as the members noted),   “…Doron greeted everyone, established the range of participant abilities, then progressed into class as though we had worked with him for years.  We were taken down entirely new paths with what we thought we knew.” – Scott – Group Fitness Manager, JCC Palo Alto

Doron is an extraordinarily sensitive person, seeking truth in his work and in his life. He has a unique sensuality which is clear to see not only in his photographs, but also in his sense of cooking and in his yoga practice. His work brings together the different venues of his experiences and thus can be read at different levels.” – Joelle Deroy – Artist, NY/Paris

“I’ve had two private sessions with Doron seeking both yoga and nutrition/mind-body advice. Both times I left a different woman. Doron’s candor, illuminating warmth and guiding messages have continued to resonate with me. If you are seeking to reconnect with your spirit and your strengths, look no farther. Doron will elevate you to a higher level and perhaps reorient you towards your best life path.” – Jen Delaney – Physical Therapist and  Certified Pilates instructor.

Doron made everyone feel welcome by personally greeting them before the start of the class (as in, he will walk up to your mat and pat you on the shoulder and talk to you). Two things I really loved about his class were: 1. the balance between expending physical energy and introspection. He makes sure everyone is having fun and working hard (He will adjust your pose or offer you a deeper variation if he thinks you can go further), but also takes the time at certain moments to encourage thinking about our lives and setting intentions of improvement or change through the poses. 2. He explains the poses quickly but thoroughly — sometimes I get too caught-up in certain parts of the pose, and it’s always nice to have reminders about squaring your hips, not locking your joints or dropping your shoulder blades and relaxing the face, etc. I left the class with more of an appreciation for poses that I knew from before. The amount of dedication he leads you to put into each pose made the final shavasana (which he also gave enough time to, unlike some other classes I’ve been to) feel great. Yelp review on Peacebank Yoga page.

As a beginner, I was very nervous when I walked into this high level class of Doron at Nandi, but when Doron personally came to me ,welcomed me with his gentle talk (which he does to every new comer in his class) I found myself so comfortable from the very next second..very magically I did great in the class with efficient instructions, along with the most highly capable mates, I flew gracefully with the practice and walked out with great confidence…what I personally feel is we not only learn yoga through his teaching but also learn how to be humble as we grow in our lives…I am blessed ..trust me, take one class of his and you would be waiting for his next class to happen !!!

P.S..Doron, your website is a place that I visit everyday to read more inspiring things that you did and encourage myself to do better things to make my life happy and healthier, please keep doing more and more wonderful things with your profound teachings and fill light into lives of people like me ! Namaste, – Vidya Narayan, San Mateo, CA.

As a physician I have spent over a decade of my life learning how to alleviate physical suffering. I have witnessed first hand the myriad ways in which the body can break down. I have written countless prescriptions and resuscitated hundreds of patients. After witnessing many deaths I began to see differences between those in a state of mental peace and those in conflict. From these intimate experiences came the sincere belief that although disease is a terrible thing, nothing compares to suffering in the mind. Nowhere in over ten years of training did I learn how to quiet and comfort the mind–the source of all pain–physical and otherwise.

Doron is an unusually aware individual. He has a talent for managing large diverse groups and also for sensing and flexibly addressing individual needs. Combining his broad foundation in Eastern traditions including Zen Buddhism and yoga with his background in nutrition and art Doron creates a flexible and tailored approach to personal wellness. His warmth, sensitivity and non judgemental attitude help encourage each person to smile, relax and ultimately reach the greatest bliss of all–a state of peace where the mind is free of all attachments and where fear does not exist. – Dr. Jane Snyder, CA

I wanted to send you a little thank you note. Last night was just what the doctor ordered. I left feeling refreshed, energized, calm and collective, and with a new spirit. I slept like a baby too. Today has been a good day and I feel that my SMILE is back within me. You’re an amazing teacher, listener and healer. I’m sure you get this a lot, but I thought I’d tell you anyhow. My sister, Rachael, was very happy to hear the results were exactly what she imagined. Angela Button, CA. Theraoutic yoga private.

After spending several hours with you last Saturday, I felt so thoroughly grounded in the 3 pillars of yoga, which prior to your workshop I hadn’t known!.. Anyway, the next day I took a Bikram class at Yoga Source in Palo Alto, and found myself really focused – on my breath, my gaze, and my uddiyana bandha in particular. What a wonderful class it was, because I had trained the day before, with vigor and precision and fun. Thank you for helping me transform my practice! – Monica Restivo – Tristana workshop (Foundations of Vinyasa) Redwood City

I was always somewhat lost and unclear of who I was. I viewed everything slightly negatively and when I became paralyzed after a car accident, everything shattered. It wasn’t until Doron came along that I was able to focus on the beauty of every moment instead of obsessing over my final goal of walking. Doron taught me that a healthy mind wasn’t something that could only be achieved through a meditation together, but is a practice that is carried out through every movement and thought. I want to thank you Doron for freeing me from my own limitations. The teachings over the year and so months I worked with Doron are irreplaceable and is something I will be looking for guidance to for years to come. again, thank you Doron. – Julia Olsen, Foster City, CA.

I dropped in on two of your Peacebank yoga classes and was amazed! I have only been practicing yoga for a few years, but somehow felt your classes greatly deepened everything I have learned so far.  Warmly, and thank you for your inspirational and challenging classes!! Anne B.

Thank you again for an amazing session today. I really feel as though you are one of the truly great teachers of my life. In fact, you’ve taught me a lesson that I really needed to learn – namely, it’s OK to do something even if you’re not good at it … and by doing it consistently, you can actually get better over time. While I know I’ll never be a yoga master, because of you, I have learned how to get tremendous value and joy out of my yoga practice. You have given me a wonderful gift and I thought you should know. – Stacy Dryer, San Jose – Private

I walked into a private session with Doron never having met him and left two hours later feeling like he knew me better than people I have known for years. His presence eased the malaise in my mind , body and spirit and his knowledge empowered me with the ability to continue to do the same for myself and those around me. I was hooked. I immediately scheduled another two sessions and weeks later am still feeling like a more actualized version of my best self. Thank you Doron (and mom) for this wonderful gift. – Michal Barnea Smith, Palo Alto, CA and NYC

I just want to thank you for all that I learned from you since I took yoga classes with you earlier this year. Before I was convinced by my friend to take yoga, I had pain in my lower back that never went away. Not to disregard the other instructors at Peacebank, but it is only you that keeps reminding me to breathe and lift the core, to support the lower back. Thank you, because the pain in my lower back is gone. Even when I am driving, or standing at the line in the grocery store, I remember your voice, “breathe” and “the core”. Thank you for letting me appreciate yoga. – Leedy Enacer, Redwood City, CA

You are such a wonderful teacher, and I truly enjoyed being in your class today! seeing you always brightens my day.:) – Jordan Kersten, Peaccebank CA

Just wanted to tell you how really excellent the workshop was yesterday. I felt like you really had a tight hold on the subject and it’s presentation. Tristana, Foundations of Yoga workshop. – Denise Daly, RWC, CA

This website is so unbelievable! I recognize your level of awareness, that your talk is not just a bunch of words. Thank you for devoting all this time to yoga. Joe Ragains. Redwoodcity, CA

You are so much more than what is taught in yoga class and that depth is what makes you stand out. Thank You. – Yvonne Woo, Nandi, CA

While reading the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and looking around at my own practice, I feel especially grateful to have a teacher such as you who really cares to get to know their students and to have your own style. To be so genuine and to let your self affect those around you in
such a positive way. Thank you Doron. – Dolly Lee, CA

You are a bless to the yoga community. I like the tricks and alignment that I learned today. I will keep those in mind when I practice. Sophia Mao, CA

 I am swept away by your consistency in instruction and your positive attitude. I feel I learn from you not only yoga, but also a way to approach problems and difficulties that appear in my life. I find that when I’m struggling in class, I’m reminded how my students must be struggling when I’m teaching them acting concepts and Shakespeare. You use positive energy to get students through the rough spots. You use humor and nurturing as a way to approach challenges that seem great. I just want you to know that I really appreciate you Doron, and sing your praises to almost everyone I meet! – Namaste, Neva Hutchinson, CA

For the first time I got onto the arm balance with one leg out in back and held it for a good 7 seconds feeling strong – your suggestion on how to do it was really the trick! I know 7 seconds sounds short but it has never been done by this body before. Thank you for being a phenomenal teacher! – Yvonne Woo, CA

I wanted to tell you that your class was absolutely wonderful. I love that you incorporated those lessons to take off the mat, kept it lighthearted but maintained the integrity of the practice. Beautiful job, thank you for a lovely class. We are so lucky to have you at Peacebank Yoga. – Kristine Tom, Yoga Instructor and mamager Redwood City.

Doron is a patient, warm, and attentive teacher who masterfully creates a supportive environment where students can explore their limitations and possibilities, with mindfulness and a light heart. Under his guidance, I was able to let go of attachment to results and instead focus completely on the process of the practice. The dynamic of Mysore — a group practice with individualized pace — is quite unique. But the true gift of the class was not the style of yoga, but the rare, special presence of a teacher who truly knows and can attend to body, heart and mind.” – Jessica W. San Francisco

With all my heart, I want to thank you for sharing yourself with our group. It was a lovely experience participating in and observing your blissful impact.” Alicia McLucas, Director of Dharma Teens, Redwood City, CA

Just wanted to thank you for the lesson on my chaturanga. Feeling very humbled by yoga today (it’s a good thing). I’ll keep working on it. Thanks for a great class, as usual. My practice is getting so much stronger thanks to your class. – Namaste, Samantha Rajaram, Menlo Park

After class you tend to have a crowd around you…I wanted to say how glad I am that Peacebank Yoga opened and that I found you there. I truly appreciate the joy and energy you bring to your classes. – Kathy Leisses, Redwood City, CA

I want you to know how much it meant to have Doron’s yoga while I was in Palo Alto. Doron is selfless, accepting and compassionate – he embodies all things I would like to work towards being. . Doron’s practice is unlike any yoga I had ever attended – it is better. I can’t help but feel that this is the heart of yoga and that this is the way the practice was intended. – Jackie Kay, New Zealand

I always depart your class feeling inspired, you have a wonderful gift. Diane Apple, Redwood City

Doron’s Yoga class is one of the better Yoga classes that I have ever been to! I have been to many Yoga classes in LA and SF. – Andy S. – anonymous review sent to Esalen

I thoroughly enjoyed your class and meeting you. From now on I will remember your adjustment in Virabhadrasana, to drop the tail bone and lengthen the middle. You are an encouraging teacher. – Lisa Y. Hawaii

It was sooo beautiful tonight! Gosh, I appreciate your amazing effort so much… You are a very special person. I am grateful for our private class – totally new perspective, excitement about entering a new chapter. You are so generous and very inspiring and comfortable to be around, such a good energy. Yulia S, Palo Alto

I have really enjoyed learning new poses, which is not something I have been challenging myself with through my practice lately, but learning those poses in a skillful and playful way as well as discovering new things about the poses I am familiar with. I also appreciate the opportunity to study yoga with you in the broader sense, which is where my practice has been expanding the most in the last few years–that cliché of off-the-mat, yoga is when you do the dishes, when you prepare your food, when you talk to people in line at Starbucks, when you meditate. So, yes, there’s all that non-asana stuff to learn, but heck, I can have some fun and play with asana, with using my body in a new skillful and self-aware way too. In short, it has been a delightful surprise to have met you through yoga, I dig where you are coming from, I am re-discovering joys of music and movement (thank you for creating the Zen Dance™ venue), and I’m looking forward to continuing to study and play with you! Thank you for the experiences you create for us, for your words, and for your example. – Danielle P., Sunnyvale, CA

Thank you for the beautiful, challenging, happy practice on Sunday. I had a wonderful time – and learned a ton. Am remembering why I find this practice so inspiring and so hard…all of life is there. – Mary H. Menlo Park, CA

Thanks so much for the hands on adjustments. I still feel rather new to yoga, so when you correct me in a position I truly appreciate it and will try to do it myself next time. I really enjoy your classes. – Jos Bols, Redwoodcity, CA

I have to say again that you teach a very good class. Not trying to flatter – I always mean what I say. I have practiced with many teachers over the years, few of them stand out and you are definitively one of them. Your students are lucky.  – Ana, Los Altos, CA

A testimonial sent to the organizer of my workshop in France: Translation in italics:

Juste un mot pour vous remercier d’avoirorganisé le stage avec Doron.  I just wanted to thank you for organizing this session with Doron. J’ai fait pas mal de workshops, pour la plupart des profs américains, mais quelle ‘awareness’, hallucinant et surtout il SAIT vraiment l’expliquer. I’ve done many workshops already, mostly with American teachers, but what a deep understanding, and most of all he REALLY KNOWS how to explain things. Il semble très ‘instinctif….Il ‘sent’ ce qui se passe avec les élèves… donc le stage est dosé très subtilement. He seems very natural… he “feels” what is going on with the students.. so the session was done in a very fine measure. (flowed well) C’est un personnage attachant, un pure bonheur yogic! He is a very attractive personality, a real yoga moment of joy! La dernière fois que j’ai ressenti ce ‘charisme’ c’était avec Annie Carpenter, il y a longtemps…The last time I felt such charisma was with Annie Carpenter, a long time ago…Mon amie, plus débutante, a compris bcp de choses m’a t-elle dit. Je suis contente pour sa pratique. My friend, more novice, told me she learned a lot. I am very happy for her practice. – Elise, France

You inspired me. I rarely meet someone with your strength of presence and dedication to truth, and I treasure that. You excite me in every way! Your joyfulness sparks my passion. I enjoyed your classes – your joy flows through you and through the dance of posture, you allow such space to drop in, and ground, that got me singing after that first class in the yurt, I’d dropped right into heart space and it was so natural to go and sing… I really admire your dedication, I honor your integrity and commitment to doing what you love; you do it so well. It was a joy to see how happy it made you empowering people in your workshop; to see that innocent glee light up your lovely eyes. You’re beautiful. – Vandana Emily UK

Reviews of Doron Yoga Teacher Training

Sometimes on this journey, you come across these unique people that absolutely succeed at life. I signed up to one of Doron’s teacher trainings to expand my yoga practice.
Chef, nutritionist, fashion photographer, artist, author, fluent in 5 languages, zen master, yoga Jedi and one of the most amazing humans I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting.
Not only did the teacher training expand my yoga practice, it transformed my life. Nicholas Warner, Australia 2016 Guatemala Teacher Training.

Your dedication is admirable and your gentle and generous approach teaches me how to be. Tal T. Israel and Palo Alto, CA (Yoga teacher)

As a dancer and a current yoga teacher, I enjoy the dynamic movement of the body and find myself drawn to teachers that emphasize freedom of expression in the body, while at the same time paying special attention to the safety of the students and their individual needs. Doron immediately impressed me with his ability to creatively and safely sequence his class, involving variations of poses that allows students of all levels to feel challenged and welcomed. What has kept me returning to class after class is the journey that occurs within myself. Doron uses a balance of wit, simple articulation to guide us through the class, and hands-on adjustments that not only help me understand the action of the pose better but creates a level of opening and awareness in my body that leaves me feeling light, open, and CONNECTED. This feeling at the end of class has translated into my life outside of the studio …Doron offers a refreshing and unique perspective on life, on the body, on being …a class one is likely to never forget and a teacher that continues to inspire everyone around him. – Lauren Anas, Yoga Teacher, Palo Alto, CA

The 200 hour teacher training with Doron was a true pleasure and it exceeded my expectations completely. We were taught thoroughly not just about the Asanas, but also about the history, philosophy, and evolution of Yoga and the Sutras. Doron facilitated and helped our group live “the yoga lifestyle” during our 3 weeks together; from eating practices and Ayurvedic nutritional concepts, to daily meditation, Pranayama, and the importance of mindfulness in everyday actions. I left the training with a new perspective and total confidence in my ability to teach Yoga and facilitate a well-balanced, beneficial class for all levels. The training gave me the inspiration and the tools to continue with my own daily self-practice, which was one of my biggest goals going into the training.

You are truly a master teacher! I feel blessed to have a teacher that has such a wide variety of knowledge, and an incredible life experience. You are able to transmit this knowledge in a very clever, fun, loving way to your students. You are obviously a great Ashtanga teacher, but what I find that is even greater is that you were able to create your own dynamic sequence, which I believe is an example of the great creative artist that you are. Thanks for being such a great teacher and such an authentic human being. Sofia M Widmann.

What makes Doron absolutely unique and gifted is his ability to bring out the best teacher in all of us. It is one thing to know the content and it is a completely different thing to be able to present the information so well that students can develop the practice that works best for them.
Doron helped me find my voice, confidence, presence and grace as a teacher. His curriculum is brilliant, and has helped me understand yoga on all levels. From a physical point of view, Doron helped me gain an enormous amount of strength and stability. I went from being insecure in inversions to flying high in almost all of them. I eat better, I meditate daily, my relationships are healthy and loving, and my life overall has dramatically changed for the better since I did his training. Yes, you will learn how to be a teacher. In fact, you will learn how to be a great teacher from Doron.
I teach full-time in the Bay Area as well and every time I get up and teach, I am constantly reminded that teaching is a breath by breath practice of presenting what I love with my students. Doron is passionate, intelligent, detail-oriented, a magnificent practitioner and honestly an encyclopedia of knowledge that will help you grow into a teacher and in turn significantly touch every other aspect of your life. Whether you are doing the training for just your own curiosity or to become a teacher, it is one of the most amazing gifts you can offer yourself. – Lauren Alyne Anas – 500 hour graduate – Palo Alto, CA.

I will be forever grateful that the universe led me to Doron Hanoch for my yoga teacher training. Not only is Doron astoundingly educated in the science and art of yoga, but he thoroughly embodies the principles–compassion, patience, generosity and joy seem to infuse the room as he guides his students. I found myself absolutely challenged physically, as well as mentally and spiritually, all the while being carried by Doron’s steady awareness and care. Because of Doron I am not just a knowledgeable and successful yoga teacher in New York City, but more importantly, I’m a better person. – Chelsea Rappel, New York, NY

What I love about his style is that he sticks quite a bit to “traditional” Ashtanga style, but keeps it flexible, to make it more balanced and suitable for most people. Doron teaches in a fun and light manner yet he has a lot of knowledge and experience in meditation and philosophy. He is a modern spiritual yogi who lives his life be present in the moment, to make the most out of it while working towards stopping the fluctuations of the  mind. Thank you so much for everything. – Daniela Gechtman – Teacher Training Graduate 2015

The Doron Yoga Teachers Training course has the unique quality of being in-depth and yet very easy to understand, digest and remember. This derives from Doron’s teaching technics and very personal, approachable personality. As an experienced practitioner, Doron shares his rich knowledge, and more importantly – a fresh dynamic perspective about the yoga world. The Asana practice and teaching methods are taught along with Eastern philosophy and meditation, a combination that allows for deep self-exploration. Expect a life transforming experience. – Daniella Saar – Teacher Training Graduate 2015

The Doron Yoga Teacher Training was an amazing experience for me!! The way you teach, speak and practice yoga is inspiring and I feel that choosing you as my teacher was more than right. Thanks for your endless patience, answering all my questions. Thanks for the mental support along the way and your hugs and smiles routine 🙂  I learned more than I can imagine and I had a great time. Hadas Bomberg – Israel, Teacher Training Graduate 2015

Doron’s yoga teacher training was truly a life-transforming experience. I joined to learn more about yoga but came away with a tool box of solutions to deal with life’s stresses and worries. From breathing to nutrition, arm balances to meditation, I now feel I can navigate life with calmness and understanding. One word sums up this course: Inspirational! Thank you Doron. – Aoife Kimber – Teacher Training Graduate 2012

I began Doron’s yoga teacher training with an intention to gain a stronger understanding of yoga asana and all the other elements of yoga that are often not discussed in classes as well as the skills necessary to teach. I was hoping for tools I could use to be healthier, more balanced and more content with my life. The training not only changed my life but saved it. From meditation, to nutrition, yoga poses to adjusting, from teaching tools to anatomy, Doron’s expert knowledge and extensive depth in our training made for the entire experience to be inspirational and grounding.  The content was clear and to the point, and time was always made for questions and review. Doron was a teacher and mentor. Since he was with us in all the sessions, he could see our growth, our needs and challenges and could be with us in every step of the process. I highly recommend the Doron Yoga Teacher Training. Doron’s attention to detail and his passion for his students were exceptional. I felt constantly cared for and feel so much more empowered to live my life with a smile on my face and to share and teach my knowledge of yoga to others. – Denise Daly – Teacher Training

I found the Doron Yoga Teacher Training to be a great holistic education for my body, mind and spirit as well as a transformative life experience. It gave me the tools and support to practice more self-care, and supported the development of my own home practice, which helped me to build more strength and confidence. This, in turn, helped me become more willing to challenge my self limiting beliefs and break down some barriers that I place on myself. During the training, the asana practice, meditation practice and the study of yogic philosophy and the ancient texts taught me how to manage the workings of my mind through focus, discipline, practice and meditation. I gained a broader understanding of yoga, which helped me to deepen my practice and encourages me to apply yoga to all aspects of my life, on and off the mat, so that I can move through the challenges of life with a bit more grace and ease. His teacher training helped me deepen my compassion & love for myself, and those around me, as we shared parts of ourselves in a safe and loving environment that he created. I built life-long friendships and a great community in Doron’s teacher training. – Annetta McCarty Redwood City, CA

I completed my 200-YTT with Doron in May of 2014, and have now been teaching yoga full-time for about eight months. I was able to transition completely from graphic design to full-time instruction in a matter of less than two months, and I have Doron to thank for the knowledge and tools needed to turn my passion into a real career in weeks rather than years, as can often be the case. I’ve since assisted with another teacher training, and am certain that the strong foundation in sequence-building, functional movement, yoga philosophy/theory and in-depth asana breakdown that I gained through training under Doron are above and beyond the typical 200-hr YTT. It is nearly impossible to cram in everything needed to teach yoga in a mere 200 hours. However, the structure of Doron’s program left me miles more confident than the average new teacher in my ability to plan and sequence an anatomically, energetically and emotionally balanced yoga class, start to finish. I can’t overstress the value of this skill — I’ve found that most of the nuances of teaching can only be learned while teaching, so it was/has been crucial to my professional development to be able to enter the room confident enough in my sequencing and pose knowledge to really get to the heart of instruction.
If you are thinking of taking this training, whether in the interest of becoming a teacher or deepening your personal practice, I strongly urge you to go for it. I signed up seeking purpose and peace my life, and am left a year later healthier and happier in mind, body and spirit than I ever thought possible. Highly recommend! – Aislinn Coleman, Teacher Training Graduate – Palo Alto CA

Doron Yoga is a comprehensive and user-friendly method for learning and growing a personal yoga practice, first as a student and with experience as a teacher. His words and lectures are engaging; there is humor but little unnecessary dialogue. Throughout the training with Doron, I felt exhausted, in a good way, as Doron managed to pack in an abundance of teaching into a short time.

I recommend anyone with an interest in deepening his or her yoga practice to engage with Doron. You will not be let down. – Ethan Klivans, Teacher Training Graduate – Atherton, CA

I loved the Teacher Training. I especially appreciate the sequences of asanas in Doron yoga. As a yoga teacher, now I know what I should teach my students, how to stretch the whole body safely and I learnt about so many options and variation I can use in classes. I liked that the course had friendly atmosphere and there was no room for criticism – only understanding and kind attitude from Doron. He  is so passionate, funny, kind and did his best to show us all aspects of yoga not just asanas. I liked our morning meditation and breathing practices. I feel that I learned a lot about my body, greatly improved my physical strength and it’s wonderful that I know how to teach others now. The course was a beautiful gift, thank you Doron. 🙂 Iva Cenovska, Prague.

As a yoga instructor that is hyperactive, I worked on calming myself down for many years. Doron was able to lead calm lessons and showed me how I can move slowly and gently. Doron is an excellent psychologist. He has an individual approach to each student. He knows what each student needs. The course with Doron was very beneficial for me. He can perfectly explain theory and how to practice yoga. The lessons aren`t about sitting and listening but about learning everything in a practical way. Doron is a master teacher. Blanka Janíčková, Prague Teacher Training

Doron’s teacher training was a life changing experience for me. I was able to learn more about my relationship to my body and tune in to what I need from Yoga to carry out into the world. His style of teaching is memorable and very intuitive. In the training I met life long friends! I didn’t want the training to end because I learned so much and had great fun! – Ashley Sue Paulson – Teacher Training Graduate – Marin, CA

You introduced me to the entire spectrum of yoga and let me define my own ways of understanding yoga, meditation and nutrition, and the correlation between them and our lives. Thank you for always being there through every lesson and every question, with your wisdom, your big smile and warm hugs. Thank you for teaching yoga not only as a physical exercise, but also as a way to transform my life. Your way of living, practicing and teaching yoga is an inspiration for me, and I feel blessed to be your student. – Vered Gani-Katzir – Teacher Training Graduate – Cupertino, CA
