What people are saying.

“The teacher training as been a real joy in my life – a diving deeper, connecting, letting go.  Finding my authentic voice.  You have really made each of the chakras come alive for me, and with the intertwining and balance, a truer sense of self, and now I hope to share that with as many others as possible.  And as I have told you several times, I always felt so nurtured after one of our weekends.  You are a wonderful teacher.  Thank you.”

— Sandra M.

“Every time I am with you I deepen.  When I gave thought over this past year of who I wanted to eventually do my 500 hour with, it became clear that there isn’t anyone else in this area that has the unique combination of dedication, passion, impeccable asana teaching, deep spiritual understanding, an unwavering devotion to a higher power, and the ability to communicate it all in a way that I feel in my heart, that you have.” 

— Sarah Cahill

“I am so grateful for having found this offering of the Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant certification program.  It has been an unbelievable experience - much more than learning from the extensive knowledge and writings of Dr. Frawley is being embraced by the true spirit of life and healing that both he and Neva have been blessed with.  Neva is an extraordinary teacher with a deep understanding of Ayurveda but it is her love and energy that has truly changed my life and expanded my health coaching practice.”

 —Marva Mackle

“I just wanted to write and express so much gratitude to you for leading the amazing experience we had this past weekend.

I feel quite cracked open in a way that feels healthy, honest, and precious.  I'm excited and energized to keep traveling and walking towards ever-more of parts of what you helped teach me and expose me to.

Thank you so so much for all your wisdom, peace, containment and guidance.”     

“Being in your presence Neva, immediately warms my heart: I can trust myself, express myself. I learned not to judge.

The devotion to a higher power is to be felt. Your beautiful imagery helps me to forget about my small self, laugh when "difficult" poses don't yet work for me. 

I loved the exhausted feeling and then let go everything in dance. I have become much more steady when I encounter my students, people not so "easy" to cope with in my daily life. The yoga experience has become the life experience.

Thanks for an incredible weekend! With many more attributes unsaid, you are such a unique, gifted, passionate, generous, and knowledgeable teacher!  We are fortunate to have you and learn from you!”

—Laura Urgelles

“You are one of D.C.’s top teachers and in my own personal practice - I have had absolutely amazing experiences in your classes both a while back at Hot Yoga and at Glow!”

-Deb Perlson-Mishalove, Creative Director & Founder, Flow Yoga Center and Glow, an eco-tique!

“Thank you always for being such a positive influence in my life. There are so many things you have brought up in practice over the years that have stuck with me and have assisted me in difficult periods.

Once you had us in half moon and you said, "How would you be if you were not afraid?” Each time I do that pose in any class, I remind myself of that line, and it gives me such physical and inner strength.

Another time, you described that one of the main reasons there is so much pain and conflict in the world today is because we are all disconnected from the earth and from one another. But that through mediation and yoga, we could find the inner connectivity to find better sync with each other. It really helps my soul when I stop and ponder your ideas. I feel so much more balanced and grounded.”
—Lillie

“I wanted to express my joy and gratitude for being with you all on Friday & Saturday and for your absolute willingness to dive deep into the soul of bellydance with me.  What a rare gift it was to have such an amazing circle of dancers who could step right into the ancient healing art of bellydance with grace, ease, and acceptance.  You were all radiant!”

“Dear Neva, I have the opportunity to do yoga with a lot of different teachers, all types come to Luna Lodge. But I really enjoyed all of the classes that I was able to do with you. You also have an amazing way of getting people into poses that maybe they had never been in before. I hope that I have the opportunity to study with you another time.”
— Laura Verstraaten, Owner Luna Lodge, Costa Rica

“I could have trained with anyone, yet, somehow I was led to you.  I'm sure many other instructors could have taught me about the asanas and technique, but I'm not sure they could have taught about the more subtle and spiritual side of yoga. It really is about the journey...it's been challenging at times, yet, very sweet!  I'm honored to have such a wise teacher who has helped me lay a strong foundation for my path.”

—Dave

“The Yoga Nidra workshop with Neva was lovely and just what I needed, after a long, particularly intense work-week.  Neva's approach was knowledgeable and compassionate. She guided us through deep rest and mediation that soothed my soul. I walked in tired. Friends (who also took the workshop) noticed I was walking out with a lightness and easy glow in my eyes. Yoga Nidra is deep rest. And Neva is a masterful and deeply compassionate teacher who guided us all safely on this healing journey!”

—Carolyn 

“I am grateful for my relationship with teacher Neva Ingalls. In all honesty, she has been one of the toughest teachers I have encountered. This is not about the physical, but spiritual practice she offers and she reminds us there is NO separation.

Solid spiritual teachers can see through our bullshit and they call us out on it. They arrive in our life because something within us says READY. 

She wants us to return to the one and only truth, LOVE, union, to have bliss and to know where our real home is. Within. Our breath carries us home. 

~Michelle Johnson

“Thank you so much for EVERYTHING. Every word, every smile, every drop of the divine you let fall from your mouth and body...thank you. This training was better than I hoped for.”

“Dear Neva, Thank you for a powerful and blissful meditation evening and the chanting. We are all in unison and healing through the medium of your knowledge. I do not see it as a mere coincidence that I was able to reconnect with you at this auspicious time of intense and much needed transformation for us all.”

—Veronica

“The Ayurveda Healing Course by Dr. David Frawley, and taught by Neva Ingalls is a treasure trove of ancient wisdom and applicable knowledge.  This comprehensive course was inspiringly taught by Neva Ingalls who helped synthesis the information for me in a way that made this venerable body of work come alive. Very useful and informative. I can immediately put ideas into practice in my own life and help my clients. This clear and elegant healing language should be mandatory for anyone who has a body Neva's creativity and passion for this work are evident in every class she taught!"

—Leslie Srauss

“Thank you Neva for the incredible dancing retreat this weekend...I feel renewed and ready for autumn! It was wonderful to connect, dance and learn as each of us opened our hearts and minds to healing. With gratitude for your beautiful and wise guidance,”

“I appreciated the mental calm and clarity right after every yoga practice. Within a few weeks, yoga went from being a small aspect my exercise routine to being the corner stone of my exercise. I then quickly realized that it was not at all for my physical health, it was primarily helping my mind.”

—Aruna Nathan MD

“Hi Neva, You have the ability to motivate the students to go deeper inside;  I always leave class with a deeper understanding of a pose or philosophy.  You use the music to your advantage which few teachers do. There are so many dimensions to yoga and I think you explore them in a most creative and thorough way always watching the students' alignment and challenging them to do their best!”

“You are a beautiful soul! You shine when you walk in our presence. I am thankful to have met you in this life time. You are my teacher...I respect you!  You inspire me to grow spiritually again, as I was spiritually dormant for many years.  You've been my inspiration to have the courage to go beyond...to know there is another way to live. I know I have a long journey. I know I have a lot of work and devotion to adhere to in my journey. The beauty is that I AM in the journey and I know!”

—Sandra Milagro

“Having taken a 300hr Yoga and Ayervedic Counselor training with Neva, I had the pleasure of working with her for almost two years. The energy she brings to each and every session, combined with her vast wealth of knowledge, made the experience a once in a lifetime one. I will be forever grateful.”

—Mindy

“Having attending multiple retreats with Neva, I can best describe them as magic medicine for the mind, body and soul. Neva weaves an artful yoga tapestry when she teaches like no other master yogi I have experienced.”

—Lisa V Denison

“In my 20 years of practicing yoga and 10 years of teaching, I have had the privilege of attending three retreats led by Neva Ingalls.  Each retreat with Neva was varied, beautifully organized and implemented, and always enhanced my personal practice and spiritual journey.  Neva is an extraordinary, creative and dedicated teacher.  If I were to consider another retreat, it would be only with Neva Ingalls.”

 —Susan Cameron  

“I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful journey.  The joy and the inner growth I experienced and continue to experience because of your the 200hour training has been life altering.  My hope was to gain a personal practice which I could do on my own which I now have.  I also had no idea how intense my practice was and I now find that more than half of my personal practices are slower paced with a kinder physicality.  I give my mind and body a chance to flow, breath (obviously the most important part) and connect.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.”
