Testimonials
“David Vendetti is a masterful teacher who combines immense knowledge of anatomy, asana, meditation and breath with playful exploration to bring your Spirit, your body and your mind into deeper awareness. The cadre of teachers he has gathered to add to his own teaching is a testament to the diversity and well rounded knowledge and understanding you will experience when you become a part of the Yoga Liberation Front Training.”

“I’ve had the great privilege of knowing David since 2006 and I taught for him at the first SBY location for 3 years before I moved to NYC. I truly can not think of teacher who is more committed to both evolving his teaching and fostering community. In the years I’ve known him he has continued to find new ways to integrate sound anatomical information and alignment with traditional (and not so much!) yoga postures. What is great about David is he has something incredible to offer whether or not you want to teach in his style. The fact that he has assembled such an amazing and diverse roster of teachers is further evidence of his commitment to offering the best!”

“If you have ever thought of deepening your practice, of journeying deep into the center of your heart and awakening into the fullness of your being; if you have ever considered a yoga teacher training course, a deeper understanding of postures, a regular meditation practice, breathwork, or ball-rolling for self massage; then please do this for yourself.
To say this course is transformative would be an understatement. With David Vendetti 's enthusiastic and unwavering support, along with over 60 presenters leading workshops on various topics, the Yoga Liberation Front is a revolutionary approach to training that brings social justice, revolutionary love, and yoga together in an online program.
The community cultivated in this group became an anchor and safe space in otherwise tumultuous times. We challenged ourselves and each other to dig deep, we laughed and cried, and flourished.
If you've ever considered, even for a moment, that you might want to deepen your practice, then I whole heartedly urge you to check out this program. The next session starts in February.
What are you waiting for? The time is now.”

“David Vendetti has always been a pioneer in the Yoga world, and his Yoga Liberation Front is a shining example of his mission to change not only the Yoga world, but the world at large. He has created a program that goes above and beyond what you would find in your traditional yoga training program. He includes important topics that reflect the changes we need to see in our world, and that starts with asking the important and often difficult questions surrounding our own place in society. He is an expert guide in helping you to thrive as an individual while at the same time helping you navigate how your individual experience sits within the community at large. I feel so fortunate to be part of a teaching staff that brings together different types of teachers from all walks of life and all parts of the globe, where we can teach the things we are most passionate about. David has always been a seed planter, and I can think of no better garden to help grow.”

"This is an important time to be asking the important questions about diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. However, it can also feel incredibly lonely and isolating to be asking these questions on your own. Through the Yoga Liberation Front teacher training, I've found space, freedom, and community to explore that which has the power to revolutionize. A ripple effect of change that starts with ourselves.
I highly recommend the Yoga Liberation Front Teacher Training anyone teaching yoga, thinking of teaching yoga, or resolutely NOT planning to teach yoga but looking to take the worn cliché “I want to deepen my personal practice” to a shiny new place.
If you know David Vendetti, you can perhaps begin to imagine the whole heart and depth and love and brilliance and unfaltering commitment and vulnerability that he brings to this offering, day after day after day. And if you don’t know David… oh my…. what are you waiting for??? David is a magnetic force for kind, curious, fierce, loving people — and through this experience, I have had the honor of getting to know many kind, curious, fierce, loving souls who I now call friends. Get on it!”

“I have never met another teacher as dedicated to helping people change lives (their own and others) as David Vendetti. I have had the privilege of working with him for nearly 20 years, watching his authenticity, caring and devotion to making the world a better place unfold first-hand. His teaching carries a heart-warming empathy as well as the incredible depth of his knowledge and over 25 years of study and practice in mending both the body and the spirit. In this program, he will give his complete and undivided attention to YOU and make sure that you get exactly what you need, which is always more than you think. Combining his own teaching with his incredible knack for finding and drawing other amazing people and teachers around him, David makes sure the faculty is diverse, loving, insightful, more than qualified, and just as genuine, kind and loving as he is. You may take this training to deepen your own knowledge and practice of yoga, maybe to broaden your range as a teacher, but you will also be gaining as a mentor and friend the world’s most enthusiastic cheerleader and joining an incredible life-long community of humans doing the work together.”

“I was lucky to be part of David Vendetti’s first Yoga Liberation Front teacher training. Revolutionary workshops were led by the most generous, authentic and knowledgeable group of teachers. Participating in this yoga teacher training (200 hr YTT) opened my world in ways I will continue to discover long after it’s over. The community David created might be virtual but the feeling of family is real and personal.”
- Linda Vivino
I took the 200 hour teacher training with David and he’s been there every step of the way! He treats everyone like family and clearly has so much love for all of his students! David provided us with an abundance of information and shaped us into well educated, welcoming, and responsible teachers. The classes, despite having to hold them online, were the most freeing, descriptive, and effective classes I’ve ever attended. David created a beautiful, loving and accepting environment in class which allowed students to build lasting and meaningful friendships. Because of this course, I’ve become a more well rounded and knowledgable person and feel I have all the tools necessary to absolutely thrive as a yoga teacher! I cannot say enough good things about this course and will absolutely be taking my 300 hour training with him as well! I recommend David’s classes or teacher trainings to absolutely everyone!
