Testimonials
"I've practiced yoga on and off for many years, and been wanting to bring my practice to the next level I decided to embark on the yoga teacher training. Wow!!!! Challenging, fun and transformative, these past few months have proven to be so much more than I expected. A vessel of knowledge and deep understanding of yoga and its principles, Nancy is an amazing teacher who's passion for yoga and life shines through. I would highly recommend this training for anyone looking to deepen their practice and/or become a yoga teacher."
- Krista, Yoga Teacher Trainee, Purple Om Yoga

"What a wonderful gift to be given. I am learning more about the concepts and techniques that held me in dark times, and am excited that I will be able to bring this to people in the future. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have met Nancy, to be learning from her, and to have the chance to share this knowledge with people who desperately need it in their lives. These people aren't even aware of how much they could benefit from the teachings, just like I didn't know. But Nancy reached out across those walls and opened doors for many people. Forgotten people who are worth remembering. Thank goodness there are people like Nancy Candea to keep reaching."
- Traci, Yoga Teacher, Boulder, CO

"As a Chief of a NJ Law Enforcement agency and certified police instructor, the teacher training at Purple Om has been an extremely motivational experience. Nancy's professional calm, and confident demeanor is a quality that sets her apart from other yoga instructors. Students listen and learn, knowing every word spoken is from years of real world experience.I know of no other person who has mastered her craft more expertly. I would encourage anyone who is interested in teaching yoga or deepening their practice to attend the training offered at Purple Om.
