Praise for Om Factory School of Yoga:
Having the opportunity to work and learn so closely with Amanda and Holly was amazing. Their personal attention and devotion to each of us as individuals and as a kula was above and beyond.  I consider my 14 other fellow teachers as family and OM Factory is home away from home. Asana helps take the knots out of my back, pranayama helps undo the knots in my mind and the OFSY Teacher Training took the knots out of my heart.  Namaste --

As a student in the Om Factory School of Yoga, I was part of an intimate community where I could grow my yoga practice on both a physical and spiritual level.  I am grateful to the lead instructors, Amanda Wentworth and Holly Coles, who supported me every step of the way and gave me the skills, tools and confidence to begin teaching yoga to others.

Attending Om Factory’s Teacher Training was an enlightening experience. Holly and Amanda’s passion for yoga immensely shone through. The meticulous planning and organization of the program not only fostered in the development of my skills as a potential teacher, but also taught me the ability to incorporate yoga into my current lifestyle.

I am very thankful for the forces that led me to the door of Om Factory Teacher Training and to the circle of alive and conscious learning that was created by Amanda Wentworth and Holly Coles.  My respect for each of these teachers is great.  It is apparent to anyone who takes part in this program the dedication, preparation, mindfulness and skill that both Amanda and Holly pour into every thread of this learning experience.
