Our Community

I felt so wrapped in a cocoon of silken love in the environment you generated. You and Carolyn are soul sisters and I am so happy you have each other’s journeys of the soul to share. There is such added sparkle when you both are in the room. Sharing your world, your friends, the students you guide, the families you touch—I loved it all. You are gifted in so many talents of the spirit.

I am so grateful for DevaTree’s teachings, and am so honoured to be considered a graduate of this beautiful, supportive, heart-filling school.

If you are looking to learn in a safe and practical environment, DevaTree is the place for you.

I am proud to call myself a graduate of DevaTree School of Yoga. The yoga education that I have received in every course has been of the highest quality. I continue to learn from the amazing faculty at DevaTree and appreciate each instructor for sharing their passions with the world in the most loving ways. The warm, welcoming and compassionate community that DevaTree has created is a direct reflection of Tamika Schilbe and Carolyn Burke! I am beyond grateful for this training and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in exploring a yoga teacher training path!

Over the last 10 years, I have known that I would some day do my yoga teacher training. I’m glad I waited for this one.

I have loved every minute of this training and I am awe-inspired at what has been accomplished in eight short weeks! You are Masters!

My thankfulness is about the love and energy you bring to us and your ability to be the channels of such sacred messages and joyfulness. This enables me to remember who I really am.

You have blown my mind. The newsletter you sent has really struck a chord with me and was perfect timing. You are both so intuitive. If I could love two people without knowing them well, I could love the two of you.

I never thought I could have this much fun with my coworkers! The energy and passion you put into the day allowed me to reconnect with my own energy and passion. I feel incredibly refreshed and at peace. Thank you so much!

I feel so fortunate to have completed my training through DevaTree. It was a life-changing experience and truly a gift that I gave myself – a gift of deep knowledge, understanding and reconnection to myself in a safe and welcoming space. I entered the training with the mindset of becoming a teacher and left feeling like I had gained so much more. I feel that this experience brought me back into alignment on many levels and as a result I am really living my life instead of just going through the motions.

The quality of the program and the teachers was second to none. I am still amazed that the pandemic didn’t cause us to miss a beat and I received valuable experience teaching both in a live and web-based environment

I was so nervous beginning my training and all the teachers made it clear I had support and help the entire time. The process was very supportive. The training was well organized, informative, and an open and inclusive environment. It brought out a confidence and excitement in my life I haven’t experienced since childhood. They nurtured me and helped me feel empowered in my knowledge and my practice.

This training changed my life incredibly in the best of ways. My understanding of and appreciation for yoga has grown into something deeper and more meaningful than I ever could have imagined. I have so many tools in my toolkit now to support not only my own personal growth, but to help my students on their own journey of self-discovery.

DevaTree demonstrates a professional, conscientious, inspiring approach to the teaching of all 8 limbs of yoga. The teachers knew the material well, delivered the material with passion, and successfully connected with students in appropriate, professional, and inspiring ways.

Studying with DevaTree was one of the best things I have done for myself. I’ve brought so much from my growth from this training into my daily life. I’m very grateful for the positive, life changing impact DevaTree has had on my life.

This was a phenomenal training, there was so much kindness, community and a great learning opportunity. It felt so connected despite the virtual nature.

I would highly recommend DevaTree School of Yoga to anyone who is wishing to teach yoga and/or anyone who is in search of a heart opening journey.

The depth of knowledge, passion for yoga, and genuine support for each and every one of our kula was incredible. We embraced the heartfelt encouragement to be who we are, each a unique creative yogi with something very special to offer.

Loved the program, loved my kula, loved the journey. It was challenging, rewarding, and ultimately uplifting. Amazing!

DevaTree is a 5 star school of yoga. The entire faculty is extremely professional, wholehearted and supportive not to mention extremely passionate and dedicated to yoga and their students. Amazing and transformative life experience.

This training has awakened my authentic self.

I know over the years of you offering the Costa Rica retreat you have seen many miracles and life changing events. Please add my experience to the list of miracles. There were so many moments before, during and after the retreat that have allowed me to be where I am today. Today I feel so much love inside for the love that people are giving me and I can actually see it and feel it!! I don’t think I ever did or would even allow myself to acknowledge it. I am in love with me, in love with life, loving my friends and family and love BEING. In my room at the retreat you left me the card that said: “Becoming is effort. Being is no effort” I don’t think I really got that on the first day but I sure get it today!

You embody all that yoga gives—love, trust, stamina, vulnerability and more. It is your passion to share these qualities and your desire for everyone to claim them for themselves that I am so grateful for.

This an excellent Yoga Teacher Training with a highly skilled/well trained faculty. The instruction I received was first-class and has prepared me for teaching classes that will definitely improve the lives and health of my students.

In addition to learning how to design yoga classes, I learned a number of transferable skills for my “day job” that have enriched the way I’m working with people. Specifically, listening skills, creative self-expression, and creating an inclusive learning environment. These skills have been noted by feedback and recommendations from colleagues at work. The training opened up new opportunities, gave me tools for self-care in life, and improved my personal yoga practice. It was beyond what I ever expected.

I am so grateful to have chosen DevaTree and honestly believe I would not have had this experience anywhere else. The programming is thoughtful, kind, and compassionate and this rang true in everything we did. I felt safe and supported throughout the journey. It has changed how I view myself and others AND has enabled me to soften my heart and to be compassionate to myself and others. Exceptional program, exceptional staff, exceptional teachers!

I have found my authentic self and am loving who I am. I am physically, spiritually and mentally stronger than I have ever been in my 62 years.

I thoroughly enjoy all the time I spent with Carolyn and Tamika. I look forward to continuing my education with them.

This training has really cemented my love for yoga beyond just the physical practice. I cannot say enough great things about DevaTree!

This training was beyond what I expected upon registering. The greatest impact this has made in my life is that I feel have a solid foundation on living a more balanced life incorporating breathing, meditation and yoga poses. The breathing and meditation has heightened and deepened my practice by allowing me to blend all into a complete connection to mind, body & spirit.

Thank you DevaTree for designing a top notch life changing program!
