Graduate Reviews – Southeastern US

I am a 25 year old Reiki master, writer, and small business owner. I initially purchased this course in order to add meditation teaching to my services. However, I got far more than I bargained for; every page of both the Student and Teacher Manual contain invaluable information that has absolutely changed my life. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for this course. It revealed universal truths to me that I had always known at some level to the forefront. This course is a beautiful quick start guide to meditation and Self-realization. The book was a treasure, this has been an astounding experience, and I am beyond honored to be able to teach Transformation Meditation to others. Thank you so much! With love and gratitude,
—Panda Hirabayashi, Atlantic Beach, Florida

I just told my husband that this is the best course I’ve ever experienced – clear, compelling, funny, practical and spiritual. I think that you have a wonderful way of sharing your knowledge, making it accessible – you know having a business and a life that emanate from the heart. Thank you so much! Namaste.
—Elaine Lang, RN, MS, CS, Director of Bodynsoul Yoga, Spartenburg, SC

I received the Transformation Meditation teachers package and the Essence of Patanjali yesterday. I have read the first 5 chapters and so far it is REALLY great. You have a lovely style of communication and I know this course will be a great benefit to me. I have made arrangements with a local Yoga school here in Chattanooga (the only yoga school in Chattanooga) and I will be able to use their building to conduct meditation classes once I feel I am ready.

(After completing the course) You did a wonderful job presenting the material in a clear and straightforward manner. I am currently working on a course outline and price list, and hope to actually hold my first class in July. Your book contains pretty much everything anyone would need.

I really liked the informal presentation of the Patanjali CDs. The absence of a “slick” studio production was refreshing. It was like being at the feet of a Guru and hearing great lesson after great lesson. I listen to them daily! Thank You Brijendra!
—Fred Mayes, Chattanooga, TN.

I really enjoyed this course and found that there is much more to meditation than I could have ever imagined. I feel more than ready to teach because, most importantly, I am ready to lead by example.
—Tasha Edwards, M.S., Madison, AL

Finding your course is a great blessing to me. It is like finding my true Self. As I study this course, I learn a lot about myself too.
—Zen Ongchangco, Suwanee, GA

Thanks so much. I love teaching!
—Melanie McCool, Louisville, KY

Good information on applying meditation in daily life.
—Debra Cohen,  Social Worker, Coconut Creek, FL

I initially took this course to advance my counseling practice and for the CE. However, personal growth was inevitable. My personal life and practice has been impacted as a result of this course.
—Dena Spitzer, MA, NCC, Orlando, FL

Thank you for your letter of congratulations. I am now teaching the class and find the materials so great use.
—Melissa Bowers, Shapes Total Fitness For Womem, Port Richey, FL

Thank you so much for offering this wonderful and informative home study course for teaching meditation. I found it to be very informative with great ideas on marketing. It is a great feeling to have the knowledge to teach others who need meditation in their lives. So that they can live stronger healthier lives.
—Renea Williams Wilson, NC

I love the Teacher Training and Patanjali programs and am excited to get home every day and work with them. I am a volunteer with HospisCare of Southeast Florida and eventually may offer meditation lessons to my patients. Than you for the wonderful program. Very well done!
—Robert Schlien, Wilton Manors, FL

Thank you for this exceptional course (Essence of Patanjali Yog Sootras Home-Study Course). It was an excellent tool aiding in understanding of Patanjali’s Yog Darshan. I’ll re-read and listen to the tapes in the future to deepen my understanding of the sutras.
—Karen B.  Maute, Danville, VA

Shree was a tremendous help in getting me information and answering all of my questions in a kind and loving manner.
—Joseph Hamilton, LMT, Jupiter, FL

The teacher training is a very comprehensive course which supplemented and also summarized the study I have been doing over the past 28 years. The studies cited were particularly appreciated. As many people respond to scientific studies and data, this is one approach to attract people’s attention who would not otherwise be interested in pursuing meditation for enlightenment or spiritual liberation.

Simply an excellent course…concise, precise. This is an terrific introduction as well as a summary for anyone interested in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend this course, all of these courses to practitioners and student alike.

This morning we were listening to the Bhagavad Gita CDs on our way to Great Falls….i love it… all of you are doing such a wonderful job of getting this out, well to me at least….many many thanks and eternal gratitude to all of you…us. Excellent course!- this is my third one – as with the other two, the material is presented in a wonderful way – easy to digest & to study. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Several years ago I took the courses you offer and have been listening to Brijendra’s commentary CDs of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras again recently. I just wanted him to know how deeply I appreciate having these teachings so easily available to me. Finding the balance in this society to undertake this work seriously is challenging with all of its demands. I am grateful to have your company as I do so. Please pass along my appreciation to him.

And I also want to thank you for your teacher training course in meditation. It has helped me with my own practice as well as instructing others. I hope you all are doing well and finding a beautiful spring unfolding. Namaste.
—E. Sarah Kragie, Vienna, VA

I was very pleased to see that your course draws deeply from the tried and true classics of meditation practice. You succinctly summarized thousands of years of instruction into something manageable for our time.
—Craig Macbeth, Tampa, FL

Excellent material made very easy to understand and teach.
—Linda Morehead, Miami Springs, FL

Dear Shree and Dattaa, we so enjoyed the seminar last Saturday. It was an amazing experience to share with you and the group. The time went by too quickly. We transcended into such a higher state of mind while we were there. The benefit of your teachings and experiences were so dramatic.

Both of you are so delightful in the way you present your seminar, with love, mindfulness and humor. It was such a stepping stone on our path of spiritual enlightenment. We will continue to practice meditation, and always think of both of you and the teachings that you have given us. We have already been using the techniques of breathing that we learned.

We have been listening to your CD Dattaa, and it is a wonderful piece of work. We are so blessed that we had the opportunity to meet and be given spiritual guidance from you. Thank you for sharing your divine knowledge. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Namaste and love.
—Eleni and Bob Taylor, Delray Beach, Florida

I loved this course. Quality of recordings was excellent. Overall, the teacher training gave me a lot of great information to help me further development my own concepts and create a real practice. I loved the marketing materials. I really needed concrete advice on that. This course is quite valuable and not easy or simple. I will have to further study the materials to truly make them part of my own practice and to properly teach these techniques. This shows a true desire to provide a well-designed, high-level course. Incredibly great value and you certainly over-delivered.
—Susan Bilheimer, Boca Raton, FL

Simple, straight forward and easy to understand while still conveying a true sense of the spiritual mind body connection. Provides good class formats and methods to begin both your own practice as well as teaching others.
—Sheryl A Purnell, RN, Cape Coral, FL

I wanted to thank you for an excellent course. I feel my understanding of myself and the subject matter is deeper and wider. I have recommended the course to my Yoga students, and I hope they will take you up on your brilliant offerings. Thanks.
—Rick Neubauer, Greenville, SC.

I LOVED the course. It’s a great program! It is fully developed. It is genuine. It creates results and connections for people that may already have a practice, as well as people that have no prior connection to their Divine Oneness. I was really very thoroughly impressed. I’ve had a year of Meditation Teacher training prior to this, but felt that this was the most cohesive program I’ve encountered. The information was organized incredibly well. I found so many useful ideas with the readings. It was truly inspirational! Thank you for so cohesively uniting this information! I honor your gift, Sherrie, and hope to share it with others.
—Jeffrey Thornton, Ashville, NC.

Being visually impaired it is next to impossible for me to read books and manuals by myself. Having the materials downloadable in PDF format allows my screen reader to read all books and materials for me. I am able to teach both complete yoga and meditation classes without being able to read aloud. Thank you for making this fully accessible for the blind.
—Debbie Jones, Titusville, MBA, FL

I loved the course! I have long had the goal of integrating meditation and yogic philosophy into my counseling practice, and this course is definitely a step in that direction. I look forward to taking some (or all) of your other classes.
—Barbara Keownm, PhD, LPC, Opelika, AL

With a lifetime of studying meditation, including TM, the SRF courses of Yogananda, mindfulness techniques and the new brain-wave meditation technologies, I feel confident that Transformation Meditation is the best approach for counselors to use in teaching meditation to clients and in group teaching programs. This course literally covers all the essential bases; is comprehensive enough to deliver powerful, enlightening meditation techniques, while remaining simple enough to bring these concepts and methods to those who are least acquainted with this great tradition for human advancement. This profound and enjoyable instructional program covers every detail in preparing us to teach meditation – perhaps the most useful continuing education program I have taken.
—Granville Angell, LPC, NCC, Vale, NC

A wonderful course, very easy to understand. With all the information contained in the course, I gained even more appreciation for this life practice and a better understanding of the gift of healing, meditation can bring to my life, as well as others.
—JoAnn Timberlake, Fayetteville, NC

Amazing!! This course was so well put together and packed full of information you don’t get anywhere else. The marketing material and replies to student questions were SO valuable!!
—Lori Rosen, InVision Wellness Center, Lakeland, Florida

Very useful information with wonderful insights. Makes you want to add meditation to your daily routine.
—Robbie Miles, Tampa, FL

Absolutely wonderful. It was great to be able to complete this in my own time. (I have a very busy schedule.) It was an extremely interesting course and I know this information will be extremely beneficial for my own personal use and career. Thank You.
—Sarah Deeley-Porter, RN., Orlando, FL

As a long time meditator and mental health practitioner I deeply appreciate this course in its clear design, pure intent, depth of knowledge, and generosity of spirit. There is a profound need for the teaching of meditation in therapy and this course goes a long way to facilitating this. I look forward to more courses. Thank you.

I am very impressed with the punctuality and professionalism of this course (Essence of Patanjali). The presentation is outstandingly beautiful. The quality of the information is rare and hard to find in any other circles and for that it is highly valuable.
—Sarena Morello, M.S., LMHC, Delray Beach, FL

I loved this course. It has given me a good foundation for teaching meditation and I know I will refer to the information often as I begin a regular teaching practice. I look forward to advanced training through you. Thanks!
—Nancy Bunt, Charlotte, NC

Your verbiage is somewhat different than my other studies which give me a greater understanding of my physical and spiritual journey. Many Thanks!

Excellent course. It was easy to understand, even for those who have never studied meditation prior to this course. I would recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their lives.
—Christine A. Halls, Certified Hypnotherapist, Jacksonville, NC

This program offers a nice model to develop a program that is tailored to anyone’s level of awareness. It can easily move from clinical to spiritual without major adjustments.

Thank you! The course materials were lucid and rich with information. They also reflect Shree’s dedication to sharing the beauty and benefits of meditation with the world. The materials are written with love, truly honoring the loving nature in her students, and truly blessing students with both knowledge and caring. I could sense that everything in the materials was provided with love, mindfulness, and a sense of honor towards the reader.  Congratulations for having birthed such a wonderful course.

This online course about Transformation Meditation has literally changed my life. I have been meditating for years but I never thought before that I was going to start teaching meditation in the USA as a Hungarian. When I successfully completed the course and received my certification I became more courageous and set up a plan about how to organize my first meditation session.
These days I teach meditation regularly and I feel my life is getting fuller. Thank you Shree for making this knowledge availlable online!
—Gergely Loran, Boca Raton, Florida

Thank you.
