Our Students & Graduates In Their Words

Why Happiness is the New Currency of Professional Success ⚡️ The beginning of 2026 has been truly transformative for me. I am thrilled to share that I have completed a one-year academic course in Happiness Studies under the guidance of the incredible Tal Ben-Shahar , and I am now a Happiness Trainer Certified by the Happiness Studies Academy. This has been the most unconventional, yet the most meaningful educational journey of my life. My biggest takeaway? Well-being is not just a "nice-to-have" addition to success - it is its very foundation. Over the past year, I haven't just increased my own well-being across all core life elements, I have fundamentally expanded my professional worldview. I now see more clearly than ever that human flourishing is the priority that must sit at the heart of any growth strategy - whether personal or organizational. A massive thank you to Doctor Tal for sharing life-changing knowledge. Moving forward with a renewed sense of purpose and a new mission.

"The SPIRE Yoga 12-week course was truly transformative. Through integrated positional therapy, yoga, and mind–body integration practices, I now carry the tools to move through life pain-free and with greater vitality. Tania’s wisdom, compassion, and safe guidance created space for both healing and growth, while the friendships formed within this community made the journey even richer. I treasure the yoga manual, the deeper understanding of anatomy, and the wealth of knowledge that will serve me for years to come. With a grateful heart—cheers to enlightenment. Hope to see SPIRE yoga offered at future HSA retreats as well. "

"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!🙏"
