  • “Starfit Yoga's 200-hour training is a game-changer, and Kintu is the heart of its brilliance. Her profound knowledge of yoga is matched only by her ability to share it with enthusiasm and precision. Kintu is not just an instructor; she's a companion on this transformative journey, offering support and encouragement every step of the way. The authentic connection she fosters among students turns the training into a tight-knit community, making the experience truly exceptional. With immense gratitude, I acknowledge the impact this program, guided by Kintu, has had on my life.”

    - P. Shepherd, EMPOWER Participant

  • "This teacher training program changed my life. I learned to identify my true self and find my voice. I noticed my true need to be decisively dependent on others for valued connection. Self love, non-judgemental attitude, and surrender are all part of my daily routine now. I learned to be more present and connect with others when standing in front of class."

     - S. Salley, EMPOWER Participant

  • "I enjoyed learning all aspects of yoga. I appreciate everything you offered during training. I have a lot to digest and take into my teaching and will continue to learn as I grow as a teacher. Thank you for all of your support and knowledge!"

    - S. Hofner, EMPOWER Participant

  • "Before this program, I was stuck in a suffering stage. This time with Kintu allowed me to solely focus on the root causes and gain tools to move forward as the new and confident me."

    -Empower Participant, E.S.

  • “Starfit Yoga’s 200 hr RYT Program is one of the best things I have done in my life to deepen my yoga practice and to transform my life! This program is a journey to self-discovery that will shift your perspective in an amazing way. I highly recommend this to anyone!”

    - Greysun L.

  • “The EMPOWER teacher training with Kintu was one of the best experiences I have had. I walked in with very little yoga experience and came out as an empowered Yoga instructor! It was a beautiful journey full of self discovery, new possibilities, and connecting with others. I am beyond grateful for this program.”

    - Hailey Adams

  • “The EMPOWER program invited me to take a lot of what I realized throughout the training that I had within me and expand it to more corners and fill in the cracks in my life. Kintu is an amazing facilitator who will push you to dig deep into yourself and figure out the "why" behind the "what." I highly recommend it. I wish I could un-take it and do it again for the first time.”

    -Empower Participant

  • “I have a newfound confidence in myself because of this training. I've learned so much about yoga and who I am. I am so grateful I deepened my practice!”

    - Raili

  • “If you're thinking about adding methodology to your classes that inspires your practitioners to keep reaching, the ELEVATE 300 hour YTT will give you the tools to do just that!”

    -Nina Frank

  • “This training was phenomenal and exceeded my expectations. I feel more present and connected with myself. I feel more confident in my teaching, I also understand the methodology more, and from a personal standpoint.

    continued

  • “I wasn’t sure what to expect from a 300-hour training, but I am so glad I chose Starfit Yoga’s Elevate program. Kintu leads with such intention, integrity, and thoughtfulness that every session felt meaningful and impactful. I’m leaving this program with greater confidence as a teacher, new skills to share, and the ability to create yoga immersions, facilitate programs, and hold space for inquiry. Beyond that, my own personal practice has deepened in ways I didn’t anticipate. This training truly lives up to its name…it has elevated both my teaching and my practice.”

    -Kelsey Sahi

  • "The Starfit Elevate 300-hour program was exactly what I was looking for to further my yoga teacher training journey. Kintu brings a wealth of knowledge from so many areas of methodology. The program has been thoughtfully structured, with each moment of every weekend feeling intentional and relevant. This themed approach makes the material both digestible and inspiring, which is especially impressive given the vast amount of information covered. It is a true testament to the dedication and passion that Kintu has poured into Starfit Yoga and Elevate.

    (continued)

  • My personal growth from this program, both on and off the mat, has been transformative. I have not only gained new teaching tools and a deeper understanding of the methodology, but also greater clarity in my own practice and purpose in life. The community created in this training has been supportive, uplifting, and motivating. I am so grateful for this experience and highly recommend the Starfit Elevate 300-hour program to any teacher who is ready to expand their knowledge, refine their teaching, and continue their personal journey in yoga."

    -Robin Regan

  • “The ELEVATE Program really did elevate my practice and my teaching to another level. Kintu is an amazing facilitator and is able to explain complicated and sometimes very esoteric topics in a practical way. The knowledge I’ve gained through this program will carry over not only in my teaching and practice, but in all aspects of my life. Thank you Kintu and Starfit Yoga for empowering and elevating me through this program!”
