Nora is an incredible yoga teacher. I took her 200 Yoga Teacher Training Program, and not only was it pivotal for my yoga practice, but truly my overall wellbeing. She does an amazing job of incorporating components of relaxing movement, breath work and education for her students to truly grow and understand the practice more deeply on their own for her teacher training as well as in her individual class. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND.

I took Nora's 200 Hour Hybrid YTT. It was my first yoga teacher training, and I was hoping to learn more about form, instructing others, and safety. The training went above and beyond my expectations! Nora is an excellent yoga instructor and has created an amazing teacher training. I built relationships and learned more in depth about yoga, it's origin, and techniques I didn't know existed.
I definitely recommend Nora for her yoga classes and her teacher training! She has a 300 hour coming up, and I cannot wait to take it with her!

Working with Nora was a joy. I felt truly supported by her, heard and understood as I sought help with chronic health challenges. I was continually impressed by her wisdom, knowledge, professionalism, and comforting manner. Nora helped me open myself to the power of the subtle body, which has been a great catalyst towards the healing path I can now confidently say that I am on.

Nora is a fantastic coach. She has the ability to discern problem areas and facilitate healing by specifically targeting those areas. I started with a lot of pain due to work injury and stress. Even walking was difficult. She not only helped me during sessions, but she also gave me techniques and tips to incorporate into my daily life. Coupling her yoga techniques with some basic life changes, I am now pain free and live a very active life. Thank you Nora!

I have taken yoga on and off for decades. During that time, I had always hoped one day it would just "click" for me. I tried so many studios and styles.
I can confidently say that with the teachings of Nora Benian, yoga and I finally click. Nora embodies the true sense of yoga, mind-body, and soul.
She teaches knowing all students are on different levels and helps each student with their individual needs. I'm excited to see where my yoga journey with Nora takes me!

Nora is my "go to" for all zoom workshops. In the field of yoga she covers many diverse topics with expertise and understanding. I'd say she practices and believes in what she teaches. Nora is my favorite teacher of all times that I learn so much from.

I have been taking yoga classes from Nora for several months now. She always inquires about any special needs we want to work on and varies the class content each time. She encourages us to listen to our bodies and do what is right for us, offering modifications as needed. I recommend her classes whole-heartedly regardless of your yoga experience.

My children did yoga all summer with Nora. She is patient, calm, relaxed, genuine, relatable, and best of all, super knowledgeable and talented. My children learned a lot from her about the importance of how the body responds under stress and what they can do to help themselves. I look forward to the day when my kids can reunite with her. Give her a try! She offers many different classes to both young and old.

I have been taking Yin Yoga with Nora for 7+ years both in person and on line. She is extremely knowledgeable and adept at talking you through the poses as well as making adaptions to your needs. Yin has been an amazing compliment to other physical exercise as well as great if you spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer. You must try one of her classes!

Nora is hands-down the best yoga teacher I've had since I started practising 6 years ago. She is a highly experienced yoga teacher who has a deep understanding of the human body and can fine-tune each class to meet the specific needs of every participant on the spot. Somehow, she makes each person feel she's catering to their unique needs!. Her classes have a flow that makes perfect sense and the transition between poses seamless. Her instructions are clear and she has a very gentle and respectful way of helping you correct your pose if needed or make it easier for you to hold the pose. She packs a lot into the classes and makes even the most challenging poses seem like fun. I would highly recommend Nora to anyone, from beginners to the most advanced practitioners of yoga.

Nora Benian is an excellent yoga teacher. I've taken her online 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training last year.
The teacher training was the best experience I've ever had in a long time. I wasn't sure how the online training would translate for me as I personally prefer an in-person experience. I was pleasantly surprised how well it went. The training was rich with information. I was very much ready and prepared for the commitment it entailed. The work schedule was perfectly organized and well laid out. The length of time of the training, which was 4 months, was just for me. The hours were spread out well enough that I managed to focus on my day-to-day activities outside of the yoga training. Nora brought in a team of teachers who were equally excellent and knowledgeable, focusing on their expertise such as the anatomy and physiology, therapeutic yoga, yoga philosophy, trauma informed yoga. Having other teachers brought in an incredible dynamic in the training.
Overall, I came out of the training feeling the confidence that I was seeking through the knowledge I gained. Yoga is a lifetime of learning; there is so much to explore within this.form, but having done the training is a start; it has opened up my awareness to dig deeper within and outside of myself, which is ultimately what yoga, to me, is all about.
My deepest gratitude to Nora, Ruchi, Claire, Elysa and Gary for sharing their positive energy, love and knowledge and for their enthusiasm and encouragement. I'm so happy that I finally took the step to take the training for myself.

I have had the pleasure of taking 2 instructor courses with Nora, Prenatal Yoga Instructor and Restorative Yoga Instructor classes. She was engaging and knowledgeable in both courses and I would highly encourage anyone interested in furthering their own yoga practice to take one of her courses.
I have also had the pleasure of taking yoga classes with Nora during the pandemic, a welcome addition of calmness, breathing and movement during a stressful and uncertain time.

Empathetic, creative and supportive of all students no matter what their age, stage or ability . She improvises and structures each class to meet the needs of her students. Nora is an experienced, warm and caring yoga instructor who we recommend highly.

I am a student of Nora Benian's Yoga Teacher Training program. This is my second time round taking teacher training and I feel so lucky to have had Nora as my teacher. She has such a thorough and well thought out program, with so much good information to share. It is clear that her knowledge of and experience in yoga is multi-faceted and deep. She truly lives what she teaches. Her lessons are thoughtful and informed. Her approach is compassionate and passionate all at once. She loves what she teaches and she cares about her students. She's so generous, she will give all of herself to ensure that her students are getting what they need. She is committed, reliable and dedicated to her work and to her students.
When teaching, she develops a relationship with each student, learning and paying close attention what their needs and limitations are and eliciting feedback so she can continually improve herself. She is flexible, always being sensitive to where her students are at in a given day. She's delightful, friendly and warm; insightful and honest as well. She will humbly share about her own life experiences, being willing to expose her vulnerabilities if it benefits her students. I have been so enriched by being Nora's student and will continue to return to her for more teachings.

Nora is an amazing teacher who has a gift for yoga therapy. I had been suffering from shoulder pain, and Nora was able to pinpoint the exact muscles that were the source of my agony. The exercises she gave me were perfect! Highly recommended

Nora is a fantastic yoga instructor with her immense anatomy knowledge, excellent teaching skills, patience, and passion for her job. She caters to every client's needs and accommodates their requests. My teenage daughter has scoliosis, and during the time she worked with Nora individually, her posture improved, and her muscles gained strength. Thank you, Nora, for always being there.

I found Nora and her online classes through the Roots Yoga studio in Toronto during Covid. Sheβs been a real god-send. I continue to take her online yin classes regularly (even though the Roots studio closed) and I highly recommend her as an instructor. Nora is a gentle soul and is a wonderfully knowledgeable instructor. She can (and does) develop a class theme/structure on the fly based on what people want/need and she can also suggest multiple variations or alternative options for poses depending on injury/restriction/yogi level. I can personally attest to that since Iβve been struggling with a nagging shoulder injury for the past 6 months, but it hasnβt stopped me from taking the yin classes. That really speaks to Noraβs years and talent teaching. She can dial her classes up or down and really wants to make sure sheβs tuned into each individual's needs. I always finish each practice feeling a little lighter, more grounded and happily relaxed.

I have attended Yogaaah online class with Nora and completed a teacher training. Nora is very informed and thorough. You will be offered modifications, pointers, and safety tips for each pose as well as the purpose of each pose and how it is helpful to you as a student, and how it could be useful for your students, if you teach. All in all, at Yogaaah you experience peace and develop your practice.

I've been taking yoga classes from Nora for several years now, and I've always gotten a lot of benefit from them. She's a knowledgeable and experienced yoga teacher, and, above all, she's always responsive to the needs of her clients. She always asks what people need to work on (in terms of areas of the body), and she is able to adjust her approach accordingly. I intend to continue to participate in her sessions online, even though I'm now in Europe.
