Long Beach School of Yoga

I took my 200-hour yoga teacher training with Ram. After researching for a long time, Long Beach School of Yoga was the obvious best choice. The class size was small, which allowed individualized attention and closeness. The yoga practice itself was amazing. Learning about the history of yoga and spiritual practices made me feel prepared and confident to teach after taking this training. Thank you Ram!

I had the privilege of being given more than 200 hours of yoga teacher training with the one and only Ram Bhakt. He not only elected to do this private training for me and another student from the seva in his soul.. but even with gaining little financially from this decision, he gave his time, his energy and even MORE knowledge from all of his many ventures in different ashrams learning under many teachers traveling countries. He showed me the importance of slowing down in a practice to gain greater control over calming the mind with breath. This not only changed my attunement, but my senses were deepened through the practice of yoga as well as receiving its origin stories. The tradition and derivation of yogic principles deepened my own body’s ability to receive more in the pranas and styles that were introduced all with the basis of integral yoga. I appreciated Ram’s heart of service, childlike laughter, and commitment to giving us his all as a yoga teacher of teachers himself. Thank you Ram for this thoughtful and memorable experience. I wouldn’t have imagined getting so much more than certified as a yoga instructor within the 200 hours spent with you as my mentor. Thank you kindly. Keep in touch!

A life changing experience.Being able to learn from Ram and his background was the most amazing achievement as a yogi.His teaching is down to earth and with an approach to the origins of yoga, the reasons why.His passion and his knowledge lead me to achieve an incredible amount of knowledge during the course.Namaste Class of Summer 22 🙏🏽

I was apart of Ram's first intensive yoga teacher training in the summer of 2022. The only problem I had was that it didn't feel long enough time wise for me personally. I absolutely LOVED the incredible experience Ram gave to all of us in our class as we were the first in person training since the pandemic and I would've loved to have had it extended even further knowing how wonderful I felt being so present doing yoga together. He brought such an authentic, genuine & spiritual form to his yoga practice and teachings we learned about in class and I truly felt so good being in studio with my other fellow classmates having Ram as our instructor learning these lessons from. He knew exactly why & how to teach us from a traditional origin which I deeply valued and appreciated. I highly recommend him & LBSOY as your first choice for a YTT if you are local or even farther out like I was. Definitely worth the longer commute coming and going every week for me. Thank you again for the life transformative experience you led Ram. It will always be something I remember, have fond memories of to cherish & long to experience yet again in whatever other facets I do in this lifetime! Namaste

I chose this school for my 200hr RYT certification and am so glad I did. Ram is knowledgeable and experienced so it was so much more than postures. We were also educated on the theory of yoga and Ayurveda. Ram is available for any questions and accommodations. Overall, a wonderfully immersive experience!

This was such a great experience! Ram covered everything I wanted to learn in my yoga teacher training. He was accommodating, supportive, and wanted to create a community with our spring 2021 group. Even though we were online for most of …

Ram is a delight to study under. His approach to teaching yoga is a mix of playfulness, inquisitiveness, and logic. I appreciate Ram’s depth of knowledge, and that his teaching style is interactive and engaging. I had a wonderful experience doing a YTT at LBSOY and would definitely recommend :)

LBSOY exceeded my expectations, with Ram as my teacher I learned so much more than I thought I would learn when I originally enrolled for the 200 Hr. Yoga Teacher Training. Not only did I learn to teach the physical postures, but I was introduced to other yogic disciplines; breath control, affirmations, mantras/chanting and meditation, Ayurveda and so much more. Ram has the knowledge and experience to teach, but most importantly he inspires students to start and finish the training. Best self investment I did for myself so far!

Long Beach School of Yoga is dedicated to the individual learners’ experience in an adaptable group setting. The Founder and Trainer, Ram Bhakt is an established Yoga Educator with vast experience and knowledge in the arts and sciences. His energy, passion, love and respect for yoga is contagious. One of the top moments and best decisions I’ve ever made is to start my yoga teaching journey exclusively at Long Beach School of Yoga. Thank you for everything! I am blessed to report that soon after graduation I was hired for yoga teaching and astonished at the touching reviews I, myself received(even during this challenging time due to the pandemic).

Ram Bhakt is a great yoga instructor! His teacher training for Long Beach School of Yoga was superb! I really enjoyed his mix of professionalism, knowledge, and a sense of humor! This session of teacher training was mostly on zoom due to the covid pandemic but Ram was very personable and engaging. The final weekend of practice classes were in person and were the highlight of the session. I contemplated taking teacher training for a few years and am so glad that I finally did. Thank you for everything Ram! Namaste :)
