TESTIMONIALS
The most significant benefit I received from attending Rodrigo's Training was learning to dissect the poses, re-creating the posture sensation, and translating that into inner body awareness.
I learned to feel the sensation of the posture in my body first and then recreate that connection for an adapted audience—an invaluable learning experience.

I recommend the Allihopa Yoga Training to all yoga teachers out there!
Rodrigo's experience, knowledge, and fantastic way of sharing inspire and remind me of what yoga is about.
Rodrigo's experience as a yoga teacher is a gift to us all. By sharing his view on yoga, he gives you new glasses to see through, which will change how you teach yoga.
The training gave me knowledge and tools to teach wheelchair-friendly yoga and made me expand as a yoga teacher.

Rodrigo's Training was an insightful and approachable way to understand better what a genuinely adaptive and accessible yoga experience is like.
My eyes and heart have been opened to exactly what yoga can look like for anyone willing to foster a deeper mind-body connection!
Yes yes yes!
