"I've had the privilege of being a student on Selena's 200hr Evolve Method Online training and would recommend it to anyone seeking a practical, flexible path to becoming a potent teacher or simply wishing to explore their own personal development or deepen their physical and spiritual practices and knowledge. It's no exaggeration to say that there is so much depth and scope to the content available to students - in such an accessible, convenient format - that it's hard to believe this training is not a 300 or 500hr program. A lot of 200hr yoga teacher trainings tend to emphasise or prioritise specific areas of study that reflect the teacher's knowledge and area of expertise. It is incredibly rare to find a teacher, like Selena Garefino, who possess such a profound understanding of functional mobility, yoga, breath work, and meditation - and her ability to transmit this knowledge to her students is unique. I know of very few teachers or 200hr teacher trainings around the world that can combine modern movement practices and scientific research-backed methods with such a profound, scholarly respect and exploration of ancient teachings and yoga philosophy to create an enriching educational experience for a student of any level. The fact that this depth of training is available in an online format, that is both convenient and rigorous , makes it an incredibly rare opportunity for students - and even qualified teachers - to develop potent new teaching and life skills, create new habits and feel encouraged and supported to realise their potential in sharing their unique medicine with the world. If you want a really solid grounding in philosophy, anatomy, movement, science and spirituality - and to be able to study in a way that works for you while feeling supported at all times, then I would recommend this training to you."

"Selena is a truly wonderful teacher - I can’t imagine embarking on the 200hr YTT journey with anyone else. Her teaching style, both in her yoga classes and YTT modules is concise, energetic, challenging (come prepared to work!), and fun. Selena’s assignments and in class exercises can be difficult (some physically, some mentally) but build on one another, and are incredibly helpful in establishing a strong foundation in all of the subtleties that go into teaching safely, intelligently and successfully. Whether or not you are planning on teaching following training, you will leave with wealth of knowledge about yogic philosophy, much improved sanskrit pronunciation, an understanding of anatomy as it pertains to yoga, and a yoga practice that you LOVE."

“Selena will inspire, educate, and empower you to pursue and uncover your authentic self. She is not your teacher if you wish to be coddled or spoon fed. She will provoke fundamental questioning that invites you to strip away the self limiting stories, practices, and habits that hold you back from your greatest potential. Go to her class, shake the dust, and breathe life into your dry bones."

"If you aren't ready to have your life changed, don't study with Selena. She has a rare gift of glimpsing her students' highest potential and constructing an environment to slowly draw it out. You will learn Anatomy and philosophy from someone who is deeply passionated about them and it shows. You WILL be inspired. You WILL leave equipped with the tools and insight to transform your life. You will also learn, inside and out and in every direction, an intricate, many-faceted and carefully considered perspective of the yoga tradition from an insanely experienced student herself. The whole idea of Selena's trainings are to integrate and assimilate the method because when one embodies yoga from the inside out, the teaching takes care of itself. Selena doesn't just teach yoga, she lives yoga, and at the end of your training with her, you can too."

"This course has been a game changer! I'll admit I was apprehensive about an online teacher training but the way I've been able to work the self-paced material around my routine has been a godsend. I watch lectures in my own time, read over handouts when I've the full focus to do so and the opportunity to revisit content is there whenever I need, forever. The depth and quality of information goes above and beyond anything I've seen in my home town and support was always contactable if I needed it. Selena's classes are fun and inclusive and her instructions clear and enlightening. I can't recommend this course enough! "

" Taking Selena’s yoga teacher training was a game changer for me. I entered it with such an unclear vision for my life and graduated with a deep sense awe, excitement and motivation to step into my next level. It gave me the knowledge, resources and confidence to become the teacher I longed to be. I truly evolved in so many ways. The depth of information in this training is worth much more than what you will pay. And as I revisit it time and time again, the value I receive is inexhaustible! The self paced format really suits my busy schedule and I loved the freedom it gave me to work my studies around other commitments! When I reflect back on my journey, this training for me was really the true kick-off point! The personal development work in this course sparked many flames within me and inspired me to keep exploring. If you are ready to deepen your studies, get a solid education and level up your practice- you should learn with Selena! She is an expert, forever student and multifaceted teacher that offers wisdom and value in everything she does. This course is the one to choose! I would purchase it again without thinking twice. "

"I want to say THANK YOU!! There are no words to express what a positive impact this training has had on my life as a whole. Wow, you have so much knowledge and love to share. Amazed at my entire journey inside and out. Not only did I hone valuable teaching skills but I learned so much by just getting vulnerable. I received a tool kit to integrate in teaching others but most importantly growing a better understanding of my own self so I can rise to my greatest potential. This is only the beginning of a magnificent adventure.”

“The school has authentically taught me how the integration of Yoga into my life is a lifetime holistic journey. With a balanced curriculum of Anatomy, Asana, philosophy, Ayurveda and Sanskrit, students are set up for success. The program builds confidence for the student looking to become a teacher or searching for a deeper connection with the Yogic Path.”

“I am currently lucky enough to be participating in yoga teacher training with the amazing Selena Garefino in Montana. I cannot explain how fantastic and beautiful this process has been, and the incredible joy and progress it has brought to my practice and my life. Through this program I have grown personally, physically, and emotionally. My physical practice and philosophical understanding of yoga have been heightened beyond my imagination thus far, and I love that I continue to learn every day. I intend to continue to practice with, and learn from Selena as long as possible because I cannot imagine a better teacher and mentor. Take the leap, and do it with Selena... you won’t regret it!”

“Selena created a wonderfully safe, supportive and caring environment for all of us to learn...I made friendships and connections which I know will last throughout my life. Their knowledge and their willingness to share it make them enthusiastic teachers who want their students to become strong, knowledgeable and balanced teachers. I learnt so much throughout the training, not only about asanas but also about yogic philosophy and anatomy. I left knowing that I have much more to learn but confident enough to start teaching and with the appropriate tools to continue to study. There was a great balance of all the aspects of yoga you’d want to start or continue to learn about and I am truly grateful for the experience. I can’t recommend the training enough. Be ready to be worked! In a good way! ”
