Our Students & Graduates In Their Words

"SPIRE Yoga was a beautiful 12-week journey that not only transformed how I view, practice, and teach yoga, but also improved my overall posture and reduced my chronic pain. Learning about Integrated Positional Therapy was life-changing; I now have a better understanding of my body and how to balance it, as well as how to relieve pain immediately and for the long-term (since about 80% of our pain is due to muscle imbalances). I've also unexpectedly been able to help many of my friends with their pain and am so excited to go on to help heal more. This approach to yoga is the wholistic approach that both returns us to the roots of yoga AND launches us into the future of what yoga can be. It's inspiring and gratifying. With gratitude,"

"In an amazing journey of 13 weeks, I have become a Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher who has learned from the best in the world: The world renowned Dr. Tal Ben Sahar who teaches us the SPIRE model, Key Positive Psychology concepts and most importantly - Mind Body Integration (MBI) Lee Albert, the Magician Healer from Kripalu who teaches us Integrated Positional Therapy (IPT) and the Magnificent 7 that allows one to live a life of balance and be pain free! Tania Kazi, a Harvard Alumni and Yoga teacher for 17 years, who anchors the entire program, leads every practice class with such in-depth knowledge, research, care and passion to share her wisdom! This combination of MBI, IPT and Yoga makes SPIRE Yoga truly Unique! Above all I am so grateful for the experience!🙏 These teachers have ensured that I am able to step out with confidence and share my knowledge with my family, friends and clients!🙏"

"The SPIRE Yoga 12-week course was truly transformative. Through integrated positional therapy, yoga, and mind–body integration practices, I now carry the tools to move through life pain-free and with greater vitality. Tania’s wisdom, compassion, and safe guidance created space for both healing and growth, while the friendships formed within this community made the journey even richer. I treasure the yoga manual, the deeper understanding of anatomy, and the wealth of knowledge that will serve me for years to come. With a grateful heart—cheers to enlightenment. Hope to see SPIRE yoga offered at future HSA retreats as well. "
