"When I signed up for Yoga Teacher Training through Suffolk County Community College Continuing Ed, I had no idea my course could move into a completely online platform. I was scared and apprehensive when we were all forced into our homes and expected to continue with our training remotely. Honestly, I thought about quitting. I simply did not have the vision to believe that I could learn how to teach Yoga through a computer screen. But Angela kept urging us to keep coming back, keep putting our feet on our mats together, keep breathing through the discomfort of change and uncertainty. Her devotion to Yoga, her respect for the teachings of the ancient sages, her gentle insistence that we could do this was a true balm for me during some troubling days of lockdown in New York. I would recommend Angela’s teacher training course in ANY modality, in person or completely online or a hybrid. She is a gifted communicator and sharer of Yoga, her attention to her students is incredible. She made me feel seen, heard, and absolutely cared for. And beyond that, I feel TOTALLY prepared to begin my own sharing of beginner yoga. There was no “well, we’re online I guess that’s good enough” from my teacher. We were held completely accountable for our practice, and if we couldn’t sit in meditation and pranayama for an extended period, we were gently reprimanded. If she felt as though we were phoning in an assignment, she let us know. The standards remained high, and I am so grateful for that. If you get the chance to study in depth with Angela Strynkowski I urge you to accept that invitation! It is a deeply fulfilling experience."

"Like many of us in 2020 I have been looking for online yoga teachers during quarantine. I’ve missed live classes with adjustments and assists. I have shopped around for teachers online and I’ve found most of them to be a little less than attentive. Most teachers I’ve found have been practicing along with the class for the entire time, and while the practice is challenging, I have felt a little ignored. Angela Strynkowski’s online class is quite different. While she does practice and demo poses if necessary, most of the class she is sitting watching students, responding to their alignment and offering precise cues. She takes the time to learn the names of everyone in the class, including newcomers and one-timers, and offers specific cues and verbal adjustments for individuals. Her online classes are literally AWESOME, and I don't say that about most online yoga teachers. Highly recommend!!"

“I have been practicing yoga with Angela in person for many years. The transition to the online format has been surprisingly seamless! I still feel like I am sitting in the classroom with Angela and my fellow yogis. She is able to correct my form and encourage me virtually. I have been very impressed and best of all, I can continue my practice from my home.”

"When I started taking yoga classes with Angela, I was extremely new to yoga and classes were in person. I became hooked on this awesome practice and looked forward to attending. Very soon after I started, the Covid-19 pandemic happened, all in-person contact was put on pause and life as we all knew it; changed. Without missing a beat Angela began teaching classes online, which she had never done before. I was not sure how this was going to be for me, as it was all still so new, but Angela’s transition to online classes was so smooth and flawless. Angela’s cuing of poses is detailed and exact, and I do not have trouble finding my way, holding the poses and moving with the flow. She has a soft and subtle way about her and her love for her students comes through, as she guides us deeper within our own selves. Throughout practice, Angela showers encouragement and offers various alignment tips as she speaks, demonstrates and watches the students. Anyone seeking to start a yoga practice, enhance a practice they already have or just looking for an excellent online yoga teacher would benefit greatly in taking class with Angela Strynkowski.
I am grateful to have found this Yoga Teacher Training; it has helped me grow in my practice and has given me the skills and confidence to teach."
