Long Beach School of Yoga

Ram is a delight to study under. His approach to teaching yoga is a mix of playfulness, inquisitiveness, and logic. I appreciate Ram’s depth of knowledge, and that his teaching style is interactive and engaging. I had a wonderful experience doing a YTT at LBSOY and would definitely recommend:)

I chose this school for my 200hr RYT certification and am so glad I did. Ram is knowledgeable and experienced so it was so much more than postures. We were also educated on the theory of yoga and Ayurveda. Ram is available for any questions and accommodations. Overall, a wonderfully immersive experience!

Lbsoy is awesome, I have learned so much. Not to mention how it has helped me from my day to day job, to my relationship with my family and friends. Self-realization thru yoga, awareness and self care has brought me back so much energy and power. With continued practice I know I will able to handle any situation that comes my way. Thank you Ram, Namaste.

LBSOY exceeded my expectations, with Ram as my teacher I learned so much more than I thought I would learn when I originally enrolled for the 200 Hr. Yoga Teacher Training. Not only did I learn to teach the physical postures, but I was introduced to other yogic disciplines; breath control, affirmations, mantras/chanting and meditation, Ayurveda and so much more. Ram has the knowledge and experience to teach, but most importantly he inspires students to start and finish the training. Best self investment I did for myself so far!

This was such a great experience! Ram covered everything I wanted to learn in my yoga teacher training. He was accommodating, supportive, and wanted to create a community with our spring 2021 group. Even though we were online for most of our training, I appreciated being live with everyone else to meet each other and practice virtually together.

Ram Bhakt is a great yoga instructor! His teacher training for Long Beach School of Yoga was superb! I really enjoyed his mix of professionalism, knowledge, and a sense of humor! This session of teacher training was mostly on zoom due to the covid pandemic but Ram was very personable and engaging. The final weekend of practice classes were in person and were the highlight of the session. I contemplated taking teacher training for a few years and am so glad that I finally did. Thank you for everything Ram! Namaste:)

Ram is an amazing instructor with great knowledge of the practice
He takes a holistic approach to teaching that truly embodies the essence of the yoga philosophy and purpose.

I did my training in Spring of 2020. The start of the program was absolutely amazing. Ram incorporates the real essence of yoga into the program. I was particularly drawn to this program because there was a lack of emphasis on the asanas, which may seem like a "bad" thing, but on the contrary allowed me to get deeper into the reason why I practice and teach yoga each and everyday.its an opportunity for you to just BE. Ram exemplifies this quality and shares that with his students. I am so thankful for the community and friendships I made with LBSOY. Also at the end of our training COVID happened, and Ram was awesome in adapting! We transitioned to online which left us all feeling uneasy, but we rolled with the times and still got through the material. THANK YOU TO RAM and LBSOY yogis<333

Long Beach School of Yoga is dedicated to the individual learners’ experience in an adaptable group setting. The Founder and Trainer, Ram Bhakt is an established Yoga Educator with vast experience and knowledge in the arts and sciences. His energy, passion, love and respect for yoga is contagious. One of the top moments and best decisions I’ve ever made is to start my yoga teaching journey exclusively at Long Beach School of Yoga. Thank you for everything! I am blessed to report that soon after graduation I was hired for yoga teaching and astonished at the touching reviews I, myself received (even during this challenging time due to the pandemic).

Love love this place! Beautiful inside and love the high ceilings. Long Beach School of Yoga is my fav and this place makes it easy for beginners and advance alike. Totally worth every penny! Clean and friendly front desk staff and super legit instructors

Long Beach School of Yoga (LBSOY) has been a life changing experience for me.
This course came at a time when life was filled with extreme stress and hard life changes. Ram's wisdom and gentle teaching style was perfect and really helped deepen my love of yoga which gave me the strength to make it through some hard times.
The teaching was well rounded and had a lovely pace. I really appreciated Ram's real life experience he shared in his teaching that helped give a deep understanding of what he was teaching.
The course gives a great appreciation and understanding of the deep inner workings that go on when you bring yoga into your life.
I am so excited to share all I have learned and continue to learn more with an open heart and mind.
Thank you Ram for your wisdom and caring support you give your students. You are a great teacher and I am so thankful that I chose your class to begin my journey.

Long Beach School of Yoga has been such a transformational experience for me. I didn't really know what to expect when we started and in the end I found out how much more I got out of this course that other teachers I know didn't get from their YTT 200 courses. Ram really gives so much more to a class by teaching from his heart of his extensive experience. His love of yoga is inspirational and encouraging, it has deepened my understanding and knowledge so much in such a short period of time. Thank you Ram Bhakt for your dedication and everything you put into teaching.

The training itself was great, I did wish the anatomy portion was longer than a weekend as I didn’t think it was enough. Also, my classmate who studied anatomy pointed out the instructor was not accurate in describing anatomical models.

While I enjoyed the training and learned a lot, I recommend taking a class with Ram prior to signing up for YTT. You should absolutely be in love with the instructor before training under them.

If you are interested in becoming a yoga instructor, I highly recommend LBSOY Long Beach School of Yoga. I met like minded beautiful people who have the same desire to spread light, truth, and knowledge on all levels (spiritually, mentally, and physically). All lead by Ram who has taught us to remain true to ourselves. He teaches on a practical level. My life has changed dramatically since I started school. Ram is affordable, flexible, and a compassionate instructor who truly cares about his students and the legacy he has built. Reach out to him if you are interested.

I recommend Long Beach School of Yoga for anyone who's interested or just thinking about being a Yoga Instructor. Or just to get better & deeper knowledge of yoga practices, beliefs, history, diets, self-care, & self-awareness. LBSOY would be the place! Not only its price competitive, but it works for someone like me with a busy schedule. Ram is passionate about his teachings and will transcend yoga cultural boundaries. In addition to teaching yoga, Ram explanations on ayurvedic lifestyle have motivated me to gain more studies soon to get my Masters. I enjoy the class and appreciate Ram's clear efforts on the course. Moreover, how I perceive the world with a different lens. Not only will you get an extensive understanding of yogic practices, but you'll gain more great friends among your peers at the end of the course. You'll be part of a transgressive community that will be forever progressing. Thank you, Ram; may you continue happy teachings.
