Our Students & Graduates In Their Words

"In an amazing journey of 13 weeks, I have become a Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher who has learned from the best in the world: The world renowned Dr. Tal Ben Sahar who teaches us the SPIRE model, Key Positive Psychology concepts and most importantly - Mind Body Integration (MBI) Lee Albert, the Magician Healer from Kripalu who teaches us Integrated Positional Therapy (IPT) and the Magnificent 7 that allows one to live a life of balance and be pain free! Tania Kazi, a Harvard Alumni and Yoga teacher for 17 years, who anchors the entire program, leads every practice class with such in-depth knowledge, research, care and passion to share her wisdom! This combination of MBI, IPT and Yoga makes SPIRE Yoga truly Unique! Above all I am so grateful for the experience!🙏 These teachers have ensured that I am able to step out with confidence and share my knowledge with my family, friends and clients!🙏"

"Tal's inspiring approach to the study of happiness mixes psychology, philosophy, history and life lessons to create a fascinating course with tangible positive impact for your life, your career and it even extends to relationships with friends and family. The skills Tal teaches in this course are the building blocks for a good life. I wish this was mandatory teaching in schools... but until that time, take Tal's course, it will change your life for the better."

“Find the missing puzzle piece for yourself, change the world.” After 18 years consulting in employee engagement and organizational change while coaching leaders across sub-Saharan Africa, I found the missing puzzle piece in it all — Wholebeing Happiness. Tal’s unique combination of the best in evidence-based research, ancient wisdom, and practical tools offers us a way to transform ourselves personally, while making a profound difference in our organizations and communities. Through the MA in Happiness Studies, I am able to work more effectively with business leaders to bring the next Happiness Revolution to life — post-pandemic, something that our world needs now more than ever. The HSA student and alumni community is very special — a diverse group of people from every continent who are passionate about being together, forming deep connections, and working supportively to bring real change to life. “As I always say, there’s no better time!”
