The Testimonial Journal

My experience in the Natural Healers course was a true divine intervention. I didn't choose the Natural Healers course; I truly believe that the course chose me. I feel chosen — so grateful to have been called in by something higher than myself.

"Leading from my heart space was the greatest lesson I learned from this journey. My life will never go back to where it was — stretched and pulled and broken open."

The training days were long, but it was so worth it. A full spiritual immersion across a variety of topics, all pertaining to how to live a happier, more holistic life. Being in this sacred group was the most healing aspect — we were all beautifully diverse in our own unique way but somehow direct reflections of one another. We shared, we healed, and we grew all together.

I felt safe, heard, and held every step of the way. Randy and Dan even keep in touch now to check in on our progress and give continued guidance. The true results of this training showed up once I returned home — I endured a series of intense shifts in my closest relationships, and I don't think I would have been able to navigate them with the same ease and grace without this course. This training was the catalyst to a deep and vital soul transformation.

Abode Yoga and Healing Training has the potential to change your life. The reason I use the word "potential" is because Randy and Daniel taught us that only we truly have the power to improve our lives. Nobody else can do this for you — you have to do it yourself.

"This is way more than a teacher training, it is a new way of life."

This course provides the confidence you need to tap into your own inner guru so you can intuitively teach from the heart. Abode Yoga helped me listen to my body, befriend the mind, and understand my true nature. I am so grateful to have had this experience, as I know it has changed my life forever.

I came across the training when I was at a difficult point in my life, with a rather physical approach to yoga. Looking back, I am more than grateful that I listened to the call to join, as it was a life-changing experience for me. From whatever mindset you come from, Dan and Randy create and hold the space for every individual to step into their truth and their healing power.

"One says that the best teacher leads you back to yourself. And this perfectly describes my experience."

Rather than just telling you what to do, Dan and Randy encouraged me to go on a personal and transitional journey that keeps unfolding beautifully every day. I am just as grateful for the big changes that have been happening in my life since as I am for all the special, tiny moments of awe that keep showing up in my daily practice while growing into being a yoga teacher sharing from the heart.

I arrived at my YTT with such a heavy expectation to be given all of the answers. What ended up happening was even better: to focus less on learning and more about unlearning. This journey was like no other, and at times it was confronting, uncomfortable, and painful.

Throughout my life I had been so filled with fear, constantly betraying my true nature in fear of disappointing others. In the intimate setting of the training I was held so lovingly — their nurturing support has stayed with me while navigating my new path. Exploring the rawest parts of myself allowed me to let go of the fear of what I thought my life should look like, and to learn how to feel and align acceptance and success from the inside first.

"This course helped me to realise that yoga is not just something that you do, but it can be the foundation for the way that you approach every part of your life."

Dan, Randy, and their daughter Amazon live every single day dedicated to their truth and loving integrity as a family — what they share on their course is so authentic. Never once did either of them tell me what path I should take. What they did do was share a vast array of sacred knowledge and wholeheartedly support our unique interpretation of it.

I went into this experience knowing I wanted to deepen my yoga practice. I walked away with so much more. My soul was yearning, starving for solidity and something real — it had been years since it was fed the way it was during my learning with Randall and Daniel.

I was used to yoga classes that worked the body without connecting the mind. Instead of just doing the postures, I built a solid base on why, and how, and what a body is. Yoga, to me, has become flush with colour and happiness. Serenity and joy. A way of life, not just something you are told you should do.

"I truly do not think I could have gone through the experience that I did under the leadership of anyone else."

Randall and Daniel went above and beyond caring and compassion and showed us all a lifestyle that they live every day. There are a lot of options for yoga teacher training, all over the world — all I can say is that if I had to do it all over again, I would make the same retreat.

The ITSA Life Abode Yoga Teacher Training and healing with Randy and Dan in Bali can only be described as the most amazing gift I could have ever given myself. The experiences each day — yoga classes, meditations, and healings — are so beautiful, and with each, different pennies started to drop, and we all came to different self realisations.

"This Abode Yoga Teacher Training was a life-transforming journey from start to finish which will only continue flowing as I start implementing my learning into my life."

I've already started teaching back at home and feel very confident to share my yoga practice with others as a result of the course. I'll be forever grateful, and will never forget the experience I was blessed enough to discover on the special island of Bali.

I'd been interested in yoga teacher training for a long time and had researched courses across various countries. I was looking for something that delved deep into the spiritual side of yoga, not just the asanas. In mid-February, a stressed-out Londoner in desperate need of a new challenge, I jetted off to start my journey of self-discovery on the magical island of Bali. Little did I know how much it would change my life.

Easing us in gently in the first week with the fundamentals, the 90-minute morning practice became one of my favourite parts of the day. What struck me most was the importance of the breath — the pranayama, the essence of life. Week two is when it all started to fall into place; something shifted for me, and my emotions started to flow.

"I know now that aiming to be more present is vital for me, and creating space for myself to be who I am — whilst surrendering to whatever emotions I am feeling — is a new, amazing gift."

Not only am I now a qualified yoga teacher, but my time in Bali led me to a new life in Ibiza, where I am embracing the beauty and magic here while starting to teach some yoga. If I hadn't come across Abode Yoga on that dull December day in London, I would never have found myself here.
