I am so incredibly grateful for listening to the voice inside me that told me to take this teacher training. My entire life as a yogi practitioner, then up to that point at AV108 was all about me. Outside of yoga, I searched for my life purpose... searched for how I can add value to others, how I can be of service to others... and not once did it cross my mind to do so through yoga. Even when I signed up for the teacher training, it was about me - Me wanting to progress my practice. Me wanting to get better for my sake. And while there is nothing wrong with that, I have gotten so much more out of this than I had hoped for. I have a renewed sense of life purpose. I know now how to add value to others. How to make a difference. How to serve others. The answer was staring at me in the face all along. The answer is Yoga. 🙏 I can't believe how simple the answer is, yet how meaningful! ♥️ Thank you Teachers Yen and Jovan. The Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training experience is definitely something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
* By Paje Calimlim, Philippines/Canada - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on May 14-26, 2023.
It was a beautiful and transformational journey. One of the things that I have never been consistent with was a yoga practice. I have always been drawn to it but because I was not physically strong and flexible, I would end up being discouraged. So it was a surprise even to myself that I enrolled in a 200-hour Ashtanga Teachers' Training. And I am so glad that I did! There were so many life-changing lessons...but what I needed to learn the most is being kind to myself, accepting where I am at the present moment and continue to strive to be better without being attached to a certain outcome. I am very grateful to my teachers Jovan and Yen of AV108 Yoga School for their tough yet compassionate approach to teaching yoga and of course to the best classmates ever! Now, I let this life-long practice continue to unfold.
* By Shey Sosa, Philippines - 200-Hour Weekend Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on Feb 4-Apr 29, 2023.
Teacher Yen Belarmino and Teacher Jovan Nikolic. Great teachers, a gentle but challenging practice, welcoming atmosphere - all around great studio. I love the teachers.....they are the BEST! I don't have to be self-conscious about my ability to do the poses because it's perfect for beginners who want to learn about the yoga practice and may be too shy to go to an actual class. Thank you for your loving acceptance…loving me exactly where I am in this journey. There is no doubt you have so many hearts to hold — all the love you share with everyone. I feel blessed to have learned with you and am looking forward to continue on my path with you and AV108 Yoga School. For Teacher Yen Belarmino, thank you so much for an incredible Yoga Training. Your classes always nourish me in the most amazing ways. It's HEALING. I really loved the meditation that you did at the beginning of class... and found it so helpful...Your presence and the way you hold the space for everyone is amazing and inspiring. It was a joy to witness :) Namaste, Ashtangi Family.
* By Hilna Hubilla, Philippines - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on May 15-27, 2022.
AV108 YOGA SCHOOL is the top and leading yoga school in the Philippines! I learned so much more than I have expected! I learn and lived the yoga lifestyle and got in-depth insight from this school rather than just a normal asana practice. The teachers here are very knowledgeable and always ready to help and give whatever they can at any time. They share their way of life and mindset so generously, and always with an open heart. Each encounter has been a genuine one. This school will welcome you with its open arms, no matter on what stage of yoga or what stage of your life you are in. If you find yourself here in this place, you will feel that it was definitely meant to be. My classmates have been amazing. The shala here is very clean, nice, and comfortable. And the food is delicious, nutritious, and made with lots of love. I would highly recommend AV108 YOGA SCHOOL!
* By Ekai Gomez Maramara, Philippines - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 8-20 Jul, 2021.
Thank you for EVERYTHING! You guys have no idea how much the teacher training has helped me with my wellness and healing. I may not have perfect asanas, but it has opened so many doors for me to learn more about myself and yoga and take more courses. I know I took the training to benefit myself, but it's too good not to share with others 💕💕💕 So glad I went to AV108 Yoga School, at the right time. Best decision ever! Will always look back at both of you, Teachers Jovan & Yen, as my mentors 💖
* By Geraldine Hänninen, Finland - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 8-20 Feb, 2020.
The teacher training program from AV108 Yoga School was exactly what I was looking for in my yoga journey. As expected, I learned about asana and the techniques of teaching and correcting yoga postures, the historical roots and philosophy of Ashtanga yoga, human anatomy in relationship to the poses, and the business aspects of being a yoga teacher. I took the intensive program, and it was definitely intense and demanding – our teachers held us to the same standard of learning as a longer program. It was challenging, but I had their support and guidance throughout. Unlike other programs I researched, the AV108 program has the clear advantage of a low student-teacher ratio. I also met and interacted with graduates of AV108 Yoga School, and I saw that the program prepared them to be effective teachers. Most importantly for me, Teacher John and Teacher Yen are knowledgeable and patient, and committed to having each student learn and succeed in the program. I believe I am well-prepared to teach yoga classes and share what I have learned.
* By Geri Cepeda, USA - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 8-19 Sep, 2019.
AV108 Yoga School was able to include the entire syllabus in their yoga teacher training program. It was an intensive course and very in depth but the class progression was managed and designed such that we were not overwhelmed. Every second time spent with Teacher Jovan and Yen was worthwhile given their extensive experience and knowledge. I am not usually generous with my reviews in general but AV108 Yoga School is exceptional for the simple reason that my goal in joining the teacher training program was to deepen my practice but I left the school fully inspired to teach!
* By Iza Villarosa, Philippines - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 8-19 Jun, 2019.
It was 365 days since I held out my hand to the universe to receive one of the best gifts ever - self love and healing through yoga.💖
My heart, mind and life was changed and enriched because of this experience with AV108 Yoga School and I couldn't have asked for any other people to share this amazing journey with. All out gratitude and love to our dear Gurujis, Teacher Jovan and Teacher Yen and my classmates! Your guidance, friendship and light continue to motivate and inspire me. Thank you Teachers Jovan & Yen for sharing your light, love and laughter with us all. Your practice, passion and service is a reminder for me that our efforts create a ripple effect towards changing one person, one family and one community - one breath (and 5 Navasanas) at a time.😉 BIG hugs to you both!!💕
* By Janis Cuevas, Philippines - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 3-14 Oct, 2018.
I thought Yoga is just good for my physical aspect only but after finishing my 200-Hr Level 1 Foundation of Astanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course at AV108 Yoga School, I realize that Yogic Lifestyle has a much deeper meaning. It has guiding principles on how to live a very meaningful and purposeful life. Also, not all people will understand and accept you the way or who you are but these 2 loving & kind couple (Jovan Nikolic & Yen Belarmino), my 1st gurus in Yoga, really touch my heart. They lead by example...they apply what they teach. They live based on the Yoga philosophy that they are teaching. In spite of my physical incapacity in Yoga Practice, they are very helpful, patient & understanding. They focus on the good side & strength of their students.
Taking this course is one of my best decisions in life. To God all be the Glory!
* By Roselie F. Nonescan, Philippines - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 8-19 Jun, 2019.
Finally graduated from 200-Hr Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training at AV108 Yoga School with teachers Jovan Nikolic and Yen Belarmino. It was an intense 12 days. I didn't just absorb from them yoga postures, philosophies and chants, but the gentle style and patient disposition of yoga teachers who aren't just concerned about you getting the poses, but the heart of a yogi. There may be those who teach yoga postures and help you get physically fit, but then there are teachers who teach yoga to help you get spiritually fit. I am glad I chose the AV108 Yoga School and am inspired to integrate this practice into the conscious evolution coaching. I feel like it is the perfect addition to the value I share to help people realize their selves. I admire the openness of Jovan and Yen and am grateful for their practical and grounded advice. Thanks brother Ray for the recommendation of AV108 Yoga School. I had a wonderful experience that I will pass on to those who will be my students.
* By Eric Roxas, Philippines - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 8-19 Jan, 2019.
200-Hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training opened my heart, mind, perspective and...HIPS! This experience challenged me in unexpected ways and shed light to so many questions! Yoga is not about the postures. Yoga is about finding who you are and leaving behind who you aren’t. It’s about loving where you are in the process of self discovery without criticism or judgement. It’s about choosing positivity, hope, discipline and determination for what lies ahead and to enjoy every step of the way! I cannot thank AV108 Yoga School enough for this incredible experience! You are all forever in my heart.
* By Karly Knight, Canada - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 4-15 Apr, 2018.
It was a very emotional and heartfelt graduation yesterday. The training might have been highly intensive but it was all worth it. The sleepless nights, the never ending memorization, lectures, homework, and exams, shaped us to who we are now. We would not have been this resilient if we haven't done what we did. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, discipline, and simplicity to all of us, our gurus, Jovan and Yen.
* By Ces Zulaybar, Philippines - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 7-18 Mar, 2018.
Words cannot express my experience taking your course these past two weeks. Not only did my knowledge and understanding expand for yoga, but my mind has been enlightened. Emotionally, my heart grow and my overall state has found peace and unity within myself. I hope we made you both proud as teachers, the world can never have enough of good teachers and you both are among all the rest. This journey will forever remain sketched in my heart.
* By Jennifer Wang, Canada - 300-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 10-25 Feb, 2018.
I would highly recommend anyone with a yoga dream to attend the AV108 Yoga School Teacher Training Course. It has been an absolutely wonderful experience. The teachers, Jovan and Yen, are the best and the yoga community around the school is fantastic.
* By Pia Heide Salman, Denmark - 200-Hour Weekend Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 5 Aug-1 Oct, 2017.
I highly recommend this school. One thing that I really appreciated about this program was the intimacy of it. The shala was like their home. Which was unexpected at first, but soon became comforting. It created a sense of closeness between the students and teachers. The program was a beautiful experience. I would love to return for more training. Jovan is an extremely thorough in his teaching. I highly respect him as an individual and Ashtanga mentor. His intentions were always positive. He respects students limits, but still motivates and encourages one to be the best student/instructor one can be. He is very professional and inspirational. By the end of the training, it began to feel like a family. My fellow classmates and I all went through an emotional roller coaster together, supporting each other through stress, anxiety, happiness, relief, laughter and lots of sweat! Jovan and Yen were both supportive and understanding of our emotions during this time. If you are considering AV108 Yoga School for your training, DO IT you won't regret it!
* By Monique Esparza, USA - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 3-14 May, 2017.
Amazing experience with Jovan and Yen, they are great teachers and we learned so many things! I fully recommend this training.
* By Pierre Le Coq, France - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 3-14 May, 2017.
There was never a dull moment during the training. Everything was precise and well planned that it was easier for us students to follow and understand the teachings. I love the atmosphere school and Jovan & Yen was always prompt with patience and answers too. I am lucky to have found this school. Jovan & Yen are humble teachers and very dedicated to their students. Training was tough and the syllabus was precise but Jovan & Yen made it pleasurable to make it comprehensible and easier for us student grasp all the teachings. It is such an honor to have joined and completed my training here. Jovan & Yen are both dedicated teachers and they know very well their craft. I simply love the discipline and encouragement they always emphasize from start to the end of the training. I will surely highly recommend this yoga school and 2 thumbs up! Thank you Jovan & Yen for inspiring me to become a good teacher like you.
* By Mitch Oddera, Philippines - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 3-14 May, 2017.
This training was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Jovan and Yen are great teachers and wonderful examples of how to live yoga.
* By Lauren Ferris, USA - 200-Hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 16 Jan-10 Feb, 2017.
This humbling experience will stay with me forever. It’s almost surreal now that the training is over. No words can describe my transformation. I woke up today seeing a new me in the mirror, “Hello, Stranger”. The universe sent me here to learn from Yen-ji & Jovan-ji, two beautiful, kind and inspiring angels. Jovan is a very knowledgeable and experienced Ashtanga master. He and his wife Yen are some of the most inspiring yogis I’ve ever met in my life! They will forever be my friends and teacher. Plus all the lovely people I met here. As they say, people make the place. The Philippines will always have a special place in my heart.
* By Clara Ki Wa Chan, Hong Kong - 300-Hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 1-16 Nov, 2016.
After the training, I am confident to say that I will be able to teach Ashtanga class to both beginners and advanced. The fundamental parts of the adjustments were covered by our teacher and were explained carefully. I highly recommend this school for students who are looking for intimate and traditional kind of training. Jovan and Yen are great teachers.
* By Sharon Yung, Philippines - 200-Hour Weekend Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 20 Aug-23 Oct, 2016.
Very practical and intensive curriculum. Spent a lot of time learning to assist, adjust, practice teach and breaking down asanas. I'm grateful for doing my yoga teacher training with AV108 Yoga School. It was inspiring to learn from both Teacher Jovan and Teacher Yen who were very generous about their knowledge and experience; and who lived what they taught. I also met supportive and kindred souls through this program that made the training whole and complete for me. Beyond the physical yoga practice, the program introduced me to other dimensions of yoga. The meditation practice and the vegetarian diet, in particular, planted seeds in me and impacted me the most, making me realize how much Ashtanga Yoga has given me; and how its almost selfish not to share it with others and introduce them to this practice.
* By Kim Pobre, Philippines - 200-Hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 25 Jul-19 Aug, 2016.
Jovan Nikolic is just a great and amazing teacher!!! Everything is perfectly systematically. I think as a trainee it is very very important if we will be able to teach upon the training. And that is the most worry as a new Yoga teacher. But at AV108 Yoga School I am really glad that I got the confidence to teach right after the training. I am very glad that I had my Yoga training at AV108!!! I can say that it was the best gift I had given to myself! I entered to the school with a very tight view in life and with a very small purpose. But that had changed hugely when the training was finished. It is hard to describe in details but AV108 and Jovan Nikolic are really gift from the God!!! I am so looking forward to my next training with AV108 Yoga School!
* By Mary Ann Okada, Philippines - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 4-15 May, 2016.
The syllabus and the method of teaching compliment each other very well. I gained knowledge that helped me improved my personal practice and gave me the confidence to share this practice through teaching. Jovan commands great respect as a teacher and as a yogi. He taught as with authority and with kindness as he shared his knowledge and wisdom with us, students. I took the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga 200-Hour Intensive Teacher Training in AV108 Yoga School. It was a very humbling and fulfilling experience. The 12-day training was in house, and the teachers sharing both their knowledge of yoga and their home with us is very heartwarming and a very great learning experience. Having the training in-house not only taught me to be a good teacher, but also to be a good yogi. Seeing the lifestyle and the day-to-day lives of the school's teachers taught me that being a yogi does not end on the mat and in the studio. I am very happy to have gotten my training at AV108 Yoga School because I got more than just a teacher's training, I also evolved as a yogi physically, mentally and emotionally. I could not have been more blessed to have found this school and their teachers to study with. They have continued to guide me in my practice and teaching even after the 200 hours with them.

My teacher training experience with AV108 Yoga School was a very challenging process. The practice, lessons on adjustments, anatomy and physiology classes, teachings on yoga history and philosophy plus the homework were very demanding but also extremely useful, practical and concise. I was very impressed with how I was taught and trained because while we were all physically, mentally and emotionally pushed to our limits, my teachers kept us all interested and motivated. I left the teacher training feeling confident, prepared and eager to continue further education. I have nothing but good words for my teachers and my school.

It was a beautiful and transformational journey. One of the things that I have never been consistent with was a yoga practice. I have always been drawn to it but because I was not physically strong and flexible, I would end up being discouraged. So it was a surprise even to myself that I enrolled in a 200-hour Ashtanga Teachers' Training. And I am so glad that I did! There were so many life-changing lessons...but what I needed to learn the most is being kind to myself, accepting where I am at the present moment and continue to strive to be better without being attached to a certain outcome. I am very grateful to my teachers Jovan and Yen of AV108 Yoga School for their tough yet compassionate approach to teaching yoga and of course to the best classmates ever! Now, I let this life-long practice continue to unfold.

Teacher Yen Belarmino and Teacher Jovan Nikolic. Great teachers, a gentle but challenging practice, welcoming atmosphere - all around great studio. I love the teachers.....they are the BEST! I don't have to be self-conscious about my ability to do the poses because it's perfect for beginners who want to learn about the yoga practice and may be too shy to go to an actual class. Thank you for your loving acceptance…loving me exactly where I am in this journey. There is no doubt you have so many hearts to hold — all the love you share with everyone. I feel blessed to have learned with you and am looking forward to continue on my path with you and AV108 Yoga School. For Teacher Yen Belarmino, thank you so much for an incredible Yoga Training. Your classes always nourish me in the most amazing ways. It's HEALING. I really loved the meditation that you did at the beginning of class... and found it so helpful...Your presence and the way you hold the space for everyone is amazing and inspiring. It was a joy to witness :) Namaste, Ashtangi Family.

AV108 YOGA SCHOOL is the top and leading yoga school in the Philippines! I learned so much more than I have expected! I learn and lived the yoga lifestyle and got in-depth insight from this school rather than just a normal asana practice. The teachers here are very knowledgeable and always ready to help and give whatever they can at any time. They share their way of life and mindset so generously, and always with an open heart. Each encounter has been a genuine one. This school will welcome you with its open arms, no matter on what stage of yoga or what stage of your life you are in. If you find yourself here in this place, you will feel that it was definitely meant to be. My classmates have been amazing. The shala here is very clean, nice, and comfortable. And the food is delicious, nutritious, and made with lots of love. I would highly recommend AV108 YOGA SCHOOL!

Thank you for EVERYTHING! You guys have no idea how much the teacher training has helped me with my wellness and healing. I may not have perfect asanas, but it has opened so many doors for me to learn more about myself and yoga and take more courses. I know I took the training to benefit myself, but it's too good not to share with others 💕💕💕 So glad I went to AV108 Yoga School, at the right time. Best decision ever! Will always look back at both of you, Teachers Jovan & Yen, as my mentors 💖

The teacher training program from AV108 Yoga School was exactly what I was looking for in my yoga journey. As expected, I learned about asana and the techniques of teaching and correcting yoga postures, the historical roots and philosophy of Ashtanga yoga, human anatomy in relationship to the poses, and the business aspects of being a yoga teacher. I took the intensive program, and it was definitely intense and demanding – our teachers held us to the same standard of learning as a longer program. It was challenging, but I had their support and guidance throughout. Unlike other programs I researched, the AV108 program has the clear advantage of a low student-teacher ratio. I also met and interacted with graduates of AV108 Yoga School, and I saw that the program prepared them to be effective teachers. Most importantly for me, Teacher John and Teacher Yen are knowledgeable and patient, and committed to having each student learn and succeed in the program. I believe I am well-prepared to teach yoga classes and share what I have learned.

AV108 Yoga School was able to include the entire syllabus in their yoga teacher training program. It was an intensive course and very in depth but the class progression was managed and designed such that we were not overwhelmed. Every second time spent with Teacher Jovan and Yen was worthwhile given their extensive experience and knowledge. I am not usually generous with my reviews in general but AV108 Yoga School is exceptional for the simple reason that my goal in joining the teacher training program was to deepen my practice but I left the school fully inspired to teach!
* By Iza Villarosa, Philippines - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 8-19 Jun, 2019.
It was 365 days since I held out my hand to the universe to receive one of the best gifts ever - self love and healing through yoga.💖
My heart, mind and life was changed and enriched because of this experience with AV108 Yoga School and I couldn't have asked for any other people to share this amazing journey with. All out gratitude and love to our dear Gurujis, Teacher Jovan and Teacher Yen and my classmates! Your guidance, friendship and light continue to motivate and inspire me. Thank you Teachers Jovan & Yen for sharing your light, love and laughter with us all. Your practice, passion and service is a reminder for me that our efforts create a ripple effect towards changing one person, one family and one community - one breath (and 5 Navasanas) at a time.😉 BIG hugs to you both!!💕

I thought Yoga is just good for my physical aspect only but after finishing my 200-Hr Level 1 Foundation of Astanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course at AV108 Yoga School, I realize that Yogic Lifestyle has a much deeper meaning. It has guiding principles on how to live a very meaningful and purposeful life. Also, not all people will understand and accept you the way or who you are but these 2 loving & kind couple (Jovan Nikolic & Yen Belarmino), my 1st gurus in Yoga, really touch my heart. They lead by example...they apply what they teach. They live based on the Yoga philosophy that they are teaching. In spite of my physical incapacity in Yoga Practice, they are very helpful, patient & understanding. They focus on the good side & strength of their students.
Taking this course is one of my best decisions in life. To God all be the Glory!

Finally graduated from 200-Hr Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training at AV108 Yoga School with teachers Jovan Nikolic and Yen Belarmino. It was an intense 12 days. I didn't just absorb from them yoga postures, philosophies and chants, but the gentle style and patient disposition of yoga teachers who aren't just concerned about you getting the poses, but the heart of a yogi. There may be those who teach yoga postures and help you get physically fit, but then there are teachers who teach yoga to help you get spiritually fit. I am glad I chose the AV108 Yoga School and am inspired to integrate this practice into the conscious evolution coaching. I feel like it is the perfect addition to the value I share to help people realize their selves. I admire the openness of Jovan and Yen and am grateful for their practical and grounded advice. Thanks brother Ray for the recommendation of AV108 Yoga School. I had a wonderful experience that I will pass on to those who will be my students.

200-Hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training opened my heart, mind, perspective and...HIPS! This experience challenged me in unexpected ways and shed light to so many questions! Yoga is not about the postures. Yoga is about finding who you are and leaving behind who you aren’t. It’s about loving where you are in the process of self discovery without criticism or judgement. It’s about choosing positivity, hope, discipline and determination for what lies ahead and to enjoy every step of the way! I cannot thank AV108 Yoga School enough for this incredible experience! You are all forever in my heart.

It was a very emotional and heartfelt graduation yesterday. The training might have been highly intensive but it was all worth it. The sleepless nights, the never ending memorization, lectures, homework, and exams, shaped us to who we are now. We would not have been this resilient if we haven't done what we did. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, discipline, and simplicity to all of us, our gurus, Jovan and Yen.
* By Ces Zulaybar, Philippines - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 7-18 Mar, 2018.
Words cannot express my experience taking your course these past two weeks. Not only did my knowledge and understanding expand for yoga, but my mind has been enlightened. Emotionally, my heart grow and my overall state has found peace and unity within myself. I hope we made you both proud as teachers, the world can never have enough of good teachers and you both are among all the rest. This journey will forever remain sketched in my heart.

I would highly recommend anyone with a yoga dream to attend the AV108 Yoga School Teacher Training Course. It has been an absolutely wonderful experience. The teachers, Jovan and Yen, are the best and the yoga community around the school is fantastic.
* By Pia Heide Salman, Denmark - 200-Hour Weekend Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 5 Aug-1 Oct, 2017.
I highly recommend this school. One thing that I really appreciated about this program was the intimacy of it. The shala was like their home. Which was unexpected at first, but soon became comforting. It created a sense of closeness between the students and teachers. The program was a beautiful experience. I would love to return for more training. Jovan is an extremely thorough in his teaching. I highly respect him as an individual and Ashtanga mentor. His intentions were always positive. He respects students limits, but still motivates and encourages one to be the best student/instructor one can be. He is very professional and inspirational. By the end of the training, it began to feel like a family. My fellow classmates and I all went through an emotional roller coaster together, supporting each other through stress, anxiety, happiness, relief, laughter and lots of sweat! Jovan and Yen were both supportive and understanding of our emotions during this time. If you are considering AV108 Yoga School for your training, DO IT you won't regret it!
* By Monique Esparza, USA - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 3-14 May, 2017.
Amazing experience with Jovan and Yen, they are great teachers and we learned so many things! I fully recommend this training.
* By Pierre Le Coq, France - 200-Hour Intensive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 3-14 May, 2017.
There was never a dull moment during the training. Everything was precise and well planned that it was easier for us students to follow and understand the teachings. I love the atmosphere school and Jovan & Yen was always prompt with patience and answers too. I am lucky to have found this school. Jovan & Yen are humble teachers and very dedicated to their students. Training was tough and the syllabus was precise but Jovan & Yen made it pleasurable to make it comprehensible and easier for us student grasp all the teachings. It is such an honor to have joined and completed my training here. Jovan & Yen are both dedicated teachers and they know very well their craft. I simply love the discipline and encouragement they always emphasize from start to the end of the training. I will surely highly recommend this yoga school and 2 thumbs up! Thank you Jovan & Yen for inspiring me to become a good teacher like you.

This training was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Jovan and Yen are great teachers and wonderful examples of how to live yoga.
* By Lauren Ferris, USA - 200-Hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 16 Jan-10 Feb, 2017.
This humbling experience will stay with me forever. It’s almost surreal now that the training is over. No words can describe my transformation. I woke up today seeing a new me in the mirror, “Hello, Stranger”. The universe sent me here to learn from Yen-ji & Jovan-ji, two beautiful, kind and inspiring angels. Jovan is a very knowledgeable and experienced Ashtanga master. He and his wife Yen are some of the most inspiring yogis I’ve ever met in my life! They will forever be my friends and teacher. Plus all the lovely people I met here. As they say, people make the place. The Philippines will always have a special place in my heart.

After the training, I am confident to say that I will be able to teach Ashtanga class to both beginners and advanced. The fundamental parts of the adjustments were covered by our teacher and were explained carefully. I highly recommend this school for students who are looking for intimate and traditional kind of training. Jovan and Yen are great teachers.
* By Sharon Yung, Philippines - 200-Hour Weekend Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 20 Aug-23 Oct, 2016.
Very practical and intensive curriculum. Spent a lot of time learning to assist, adjust, practice teach and breaking down asanas. I'm grateful for doing my yoga teacher training with AV108 Yoga School. It was inspiring to learn from both Teacher Jovan and Teacher Yen who were very generous about their knowledge and experience; and who lived what they taught. I also met supportive and kindred souls through this program that made the training whole and complete for me. Beyond the physical yoga practice, the program introduced me to other dimensions of yoga. The meditation practice and the vegetarian diet, in particular, planted seeds in me and impacted me the most, making me realize how much Ashtanga Yoga has given me; and how its almost selfish not to share it with others and introduce them to this practice.
* By Kim Pobre, Philippines - 200-Hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course held on 25 Jul-19 Aug, 2016.
Jovan Nikolic is just a great and amazing teacher!!! Everything is perfectly systematically. I think as a trainee it is very very important if we will be able to teach upon the training. And that is the most worry as a new Yoga teacher. But at AV108 Yoga School I am really glad that I got the confidence to teach right after the training. I am very glad that I had my Yoga training at AV108!!! I can say that it was the best gift I had given to myself! I entered to the school with a very tight view in life and with a very small purpose. But that had changed hugely when the training was finished. It is hard to describe in details but AV108 and Jovan Nikolic are really gift from the God!!! I am so looking forward to my next training with AV108 Yoga School!

The syllabus and the method of teaching compliment each other very well. I gained knowledge that helped me improved my personal practice and gave me the confidence to share this practice through teaching. Jovan commands great respect as a teacher and as a yogi. He taught as with authority and with kindness as he shared his knowledge and wisdom with us, students. I took the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga 200-Hour Intensive Teacher Training in AV108 Yoga School. It was a very humbling and fulfilling experience. The 12-day training was in house, and the teachers sharing both their knowledge of yoga and their home with us is very heartwarming and a very great learning experience.
