Spaces are limited. The path is open.

What Some of Our Students Have Said...

When space is truly held for us, sometimes we react poorly too it, unused to the reactionary nature of others, we look to bounce back at something. With enough time, the water stills, the mind gets a chance to see its own monkey face, and then your heart gets to have a big laugh at it all, realizing that this is the witness/ space you’ve been all along looking for. And everything you need is in there!

Truly Helpful has been there for me during the biggest shift/ emotional crisis of my life. Alan helped me to realize and clarify the path that in essence I was always on.

It is now a year later, where I can look back at the three different retreats I worked with Alan and Beata with. I have touched heaven and been through the personal psychic hell. I have faced my fears, and have some made some profound shifts in my life, lessening/ removing addictive and reactive behaviours, improving my health and fitness. What Alan and Beata do is provide the subtle musical lines for you to put your notes on. Its subtle and it takes work from you, but if you choose love over fear you will be ok always. They will be there in the moment you hit the ground, which eventually we all do….

They provide top notch asana practice, philosophic and devotional practice, and for me the most empowering the house of music that lives in their hearts that will most certainly uplift you if not awaken your own voice……In essence as they say don’t walk if your considering going to work with them, run. But , take a seat once there, it takes a little while. Good things take time.

Years ago I would tease yoga as a practice, now I can actually sit on the floor and am about to teach my first yin yoga class. Everything comes full circle. Alan and Beata ( and Sonny) can help bring momentum and healing insight to your circle.

Thanks and Praise to you all, and to future readers.

“Yoga practices with Allowah & Yoga Quest are off the chart, they include different Yoga styles and techniques that challenges your body & mind in every possible way, the shavasana & relaxation with music are magically healing & priceless. The program provides a high-quality textbook, including Yoga history & philosophy, Sanskrit, mantras & kirtan, meditation, asanas, pranayama, Yoga etiquette & ethics, teaching methodology, anatomy & business. Theory classes are super philosophical, inspiring & interactive.
Allowah & family are one of the most loving humans I had the chance to spend time with, you can see & feel all the love & effort they put into everything they do. My YTT with Truly Helpful exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to join them again soon."

“The program overall was exactly what I needed. I really appreciated all the extra activities and trips that were integrated into the program. It felt very well rounded and complete for me personally. I really enjoyed embracing different types of yoga and not just focusing on one type. In terms of your teaching I felt like Allowah did an awesome job. He really tuned into the group and their energies and led the classes accordingly. He did an incredible job not only bringing free flow to the structure of the yoga classes put free flow to the structure of the program as a whole. I am so happy I did this for myself. I would love to do another retreat/workshop one day and will always recommend this program with high regards

My sincere gratitude goes beyond words. Aho!” ~

Dhanyavad and Namaste! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in the Yoga Quest. The yoga teacher training I attended was absolutely fabulous, much more than I could have ever imagined! Allowah is a wonderful and gifted teacher, with a vision of Unity Consciousness that comes across in your teaching and kirtans! For your generosity, kindness, tolerance, patience, open heart, guidance, support, time, and hard work. You are a source of inspiration on and off the yoga mat. I am so happy that you created the Yoga Quest!
