List of testimonials collected after students completed the teacher training.
Dear Fred and Mayara,
I just wanted to send you all an email thanking you both for changing my life. I apologize for not sending this sooner. Because of your wonderful yoga teacher training program I am aligned with my purpose here on Earth. I have been exposed this beautiful massive new world that I never knew existed. The more I learn, the more that I find there is to learn. Far from being overwhelmed, for the first time in my life I am truly empowered and I see clearly the direction I need to go in. I am turning my family’s health around by leading them through example to eat properly and increase their activity levels. My father (severe type 2 diabetic) now eats salads everyday for lunch, is losing weight, and stabilizing his blood sugar. Also a huge step, my mother no longer keeps white bread in the house and she eats raw almonds for a snack at work. Those are just a couple of instances where I have influenced others to love themselves more and to be more mindful about their health.
My yoga business is keeping me so busy! I am teaching classes for LA Fitness as well as for a company that offers classes to the timeshare resorts by Disney. My boyfriend’s next door neighbor is a Bikram teacher who just opened his own studio called OM on Fire (which is also the name of a eco-friendly cleaner that he makes himself) and wants to offer a hot power yoga class (Bikram headquarters hasn’t responded to his request to label the studio “Bikram”). It’s in Brevard County, and I’m teaching in Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties currently! Bringing light and balance to all of Central Florida! Haha. In Seminole County, I’m teaching donation-based classes once a month to raise money for an environmental nonprofit that I volunteer for. I got my group fitness certification and also teach aqua fitness!! Hustling! J
I’ve immersed myself into the holistic lifestyle, going to free workshops from foods for pain relief to medicinal plant workshops (I made a tincture for my mom with peppermint and chase berries to ease her menopause-induced hormonal imbalance.) I’m attending the Rasa Lila Fest at the end of this month and attending multiple workshops and classes to boost my knowledge and ability to help others. My goal is to develop a well-rounded wellness coaching practice and change other people’s lives the way you both have changed mine.
The best part is that all of this is just the beginning to the rest of my life. I have so much to learn and I am so excited to learn it. I want to come back to you both for my 500 hour certification, and travel with you to retreats. Even though I live in Central Florida, I want to make the opportunity for myself to come back to Miami for the sole purpose of more training from you both. I have all of these goals written down, and I am chipping away one by one.
In a nutshell, I don’t know where I would be without you both. I was led to you in a dark time and discovered that all the despair and frustration in my life was the light within me begging to be expressed. The voice of my nature was muffled and I couldn’t hear the wisdom clearly. I am finally connected with my true Self and can clearly experience the peace and love that most people search their entire lives to find. When negativity enters my life, I acknowledge it as a friend instead of an enemy, leading me along my journey. It is becoming second nature to view unfortunate events as diamonds in the rough. If feel my vibrations lower, I can instantly bring them back up and my heart feels light and free. I can really feel the heaviness of the slow frequency vibrations of negative energy as well as the uplifting floating faster frequency vibrations of the positive energy, and I can CONTROL it. I do not fear loss or sadness because I know it’s all there for me to learn from.
I could go on and on and on about how amazing my life is, but I know you are busy. I am so blessed to have been led to you and my heart overflows with gratitude for everything I have learned as a result of your beautiful wisdom.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s difficult to put into words how the last few months have changed my life. It all began when I walked into a hot yoga class at Brickell Hot Yoga and fell in love with an amazing class that incorporated deep breathing, heat and guided meditation! I’ve never felt so good after leaving a studio and I’ve tried them all, Pilate’s, Core Fusion, spinning, etc…
After some big life changes I found myself searching for my life passion and how I could help people on a daily basis. As my own yoga practice developed I decided to take my first 200h Teacher Training at Brickell Yoga. I dedicated 30 days of study to practice yoga 4-6 hours a day, eat a vegan diet, daily meditation, and study of this ancient multi-dimensional practice. It was a complete mind-body transformation. My breathing slowed down, and my once Asthmatic Lungs became clear and strong. My whole body slimmed down and became more toned and flexible. The final change, was my nervous energy and my mind became peaceful and relaxed. I’ve never felt better in my life. Completion of the 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training took my practice and teaching skills to the next level!
Each day was exciting and challenging in the best way. It was the perfect balance of thought provoking, intellectual lectures and yoga asana practice. There are some people who are truly gifted speakers and Fred Busch one of them! The delivery of information in his lectures is captivating, stern, humorous, and filled with analogies. I know that Fred Bush Power Vinyasa Yoga is the best. I always get compliments on how my class is the perfect balance of meditation, spirituality, exercise and stretching.
Thanks to Fred and Mayara; I have knowledge which I never would have had, humility of my inner strength, and dedication which continues to surprise me. I have faced fears that I never thought I could over come. I feel younger, healthier, and full of life. Friends have commented on how healthy and happy I look and feel.It is yoga that keeps me dedicated to yoga.
