What makes Doron Hanoch so phenomenal is his loving kindness for each and every student while imparting the knowledge and skills they each need, and he does so with calmness and humor.

The benefits were immediate and obvious. My ability to handle stress and adversity – not just in training and competition, but also in everyday life – skyrocketed pretty much overnight. After just two or three sessions, I found myself falling into a happy, positive mental space in training, and by the end of ten sessions I’d collected a number of great race results and, more importantly, great race experiences. Finally, being an elite athlete is fun again. I am so deeply appreciative. Thank you!!

I’ve had two private sessions with Doron seeking both yoga and nutrition/mind-body advice. Both times, I left a different woman. Doron’s candor, illuminating warmth, and guiding messages have continued to resonate with me. If you are seeking to reconnect with your spirit and your strengths, look no further. Doron will elevate you to a higher level and perhaps reorient you towards your best life path.

Doron is a superb teacher. Having lectured at the university level for many years, it was clear that Doron possesses the qualities of a top-notch educator. Not only does he have the depth and breadth of knowledge, he is also able to communicate it to others in a way that is informative, interesting, and holds everyone’s attention. I loved that his sense of humour regularly showed itself, that he was sensitive to each individual's needs (and we were quite a diverse group), and that he could constantly interact with each and every group member. He honestly has the patience of a saint, gently directing and motivating everyone to give their best. Whether your aim is to deepen your own practice or teach in a yoga studio, you won’t regret a minute of it!

Doron is an incredible teacher; he has unbelievable energy and connectedness!! I really appreciated his humbleness and authenticity. I realise how much we learnt, even more so after coming back home and returning to yoga. I appreciate his incredible attention to detail, his high standards, and his immeasurable enthusiasm.

Doron is an unusually aware individual. He has a talent for managing large, diverse groups and also for sensing and flexibly addressing individual needs. Combining his broad foundation in Eastern traditions, including Zen Buddhism and yoga, with his background in nutrition and art, Doron creates a flexible and tailored approach to personal wellness. His warmth, sensitivity, and non-judgmental attitude help encourage each person to smile, relax, and ultimately reach the greatest bliss of all–a state of peace where the mind is free of all attachments and where fear does not exist. As a physician, I have written countless prescriptions and resuscitated hundreds of patients. I see differences between those in a state of mental peace and those in conflict.

I was always somewhat lost and unclear of who I was. I viewed everything slightly negatively, and when I became paralyzed after a car accident, everything shattered. It wasn’t until Doron came along that I was able to focus on the beauty of every moment instead of obsessing over my final goal of walking. Doron taught me that a healthy mind isn’t something that can only be achieved through meditation, but rather a practice carried out in every movement and thought. I want to thank you, Doron, for freeing me from my own limitations. The teachings I received over the years I worked with Doron are irreplaceable and will be something I look to for guidance for years to come. Again, thank you, Doron.

As a beginner, I was very nervous when I walked into this high-level class of Doron, but when Doron personally came to me, welcomed me with his gentle talk (which he does to every newcomer in his class), I found myself so comfortable from the very next second. Very magically, I did great in the class with efficient instructions, along with the most highly capable mates, I flew gracefully with the practice, and walked out with great confidence…What I personally feel is that we not only learn yoga through his teaching but also learn how to be humble as we grow in our lives…I am blessed. Trust me, take one class of his and you would be waiting for his next class to happen !!! P.S..Doron, your website is a place I visit every day to read more inspiring things you've done and to encourage myself to do better things to make my life happier and healthier. Please keep doing more and more wonderful things with your profound teachings and shed light into lives of people like me! Namaste

Doron’s depth of knowledge is one of the things that made this course so special. We were very lucky to have someone who has really, really studied and practiced this stuff. His system of building blocks makes it very simple to structure a class. I've been given a great set of tools to become a great teacher Doron set an amazing example for us as teachers; so patient, apparently tireless, never allowing any challenges or problems to affect his teaching. So clear and consistent in his own thinking, and in the way he shared it with us.

It was just what the doctor ordered. I left feeling refreshed, energized, calm and collected, and with a new spirit. I slept like a baby, too. Today has been a good day, and I feel that my SMILE is back within me. You’re an amazing teacher, listener, and healer. I’m sure you get this a lot, but I thought I’d tell you anyhow. My sister, Rachael, was very happy to hear the results were exactly what she imagined.

Through his depth of knowledge, simplicity, discipline, and clarity, Doron creates a space that goes beyond words. Space to think more precisely and focus more intentionally. He helped me return to my center and reconnect with my own direction. He is my teacher and mentor, guiding me through my growth in leadership and communication, including my journey in Toastmasters. Beyond his wisdom, he shows up with joy and a deeply human way.

As a yoga teacher, I have tried to emulate your teaching style, as you are so knowledgeable, kind, and truly inspirational. You have been a mentor to me without knowing it. Thank you for the impact you have had on my life and my teaching.

People feed off of Doron’s energy. It’s inspiring, and I think we are all keen to learn the secret. Doron’s asana, pranayama, meditation and philosophy knowledge is all outstanding, and clearly he has spent a lot of time researching, testing, and practicing these. It’s a privilege to gain from his knowledge, and he is always so willing to share his Doron’s humor, passion for yoga, and push for perfection mean that by the end of the training, I felt confident as a teacher, not just repeating what I had learnt but was able to internalise it and make it my own. I absolutely loved it. Thank you, Doron

Through Doron's engaging and open-minded teaching, which always allowed for critical questions, I have gained access to and a genuine interest in a text like the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, which previously seemed unreadable. Any yoga teacher training will give you a better understanding of asana. This training will give you a better understanding of yourself So, so very grateful to have had the honour and privilege to study with Doron.

Doron is an incredible teacher and person. He has a wealth of knowledge and life experience to share. We lovingly referred to him as “Zen Master.” Though he was demanding, he provided such a loving and supportive environment for each of us to grow and learn in our own way. He had boundless energy and enthusiasm for all that he taught, and it was clear that he lived by his teachings. He is an inspiration and his passion for yoga and life shines through in all his actions. I will forever be grateful to him for everything that I learned.

I cannot begin to describe my endless gratitude for all that Doron is. He organized everything so amazingly for a wonderful and well balanced teacher training. His worldly outlook and joy for life has helped me tremendously as a teacher...on and off the mat. There are many yoga teacher trainings and many teachers out there, but Doron is truly someone special, a bright, authentic light in the yoga world, and I'm blessed to have him in my life.

Not only is Doron astoundingly educated in the science and art of yoga, but he thoroughly embodies the principles--compassion, patience, generosity and joy seem to infuse the room as he guides his students. I found myself absolutely challenged physically, as well as mentally and spiritually, all the while being carried by Doron's steady awareness and care. Because of Doron I am not just a knowledgeable and successful yoga teacher in New York City, but more importantly, I'm a better person.

I found the Doron Yoga Teacher Training to be a great holistic education for my body, mind, and spirit, as well as a transformative life experience. It gave me the tools and support to practice more self-care and to develop my own home practice, which helped me build more strength and confidence. This, in turn, helped me become more willing to challenge my self-limiting beliefs and break down some of the barriers I set up for myself.

I have been teaching yoga full-time for about eight months. I was able to transition completely from graphic design to full-time instruction in less than two months, and I have Doron to thank for the knowledge and tools needed to turn my passion into a real career in weeks rather than years, as is often the case. I've since assisted with another teacher training, and am certain that the strong foundation in sequence-building, functional movement, yoga philosophy/theory, and in-depth asana breakdown that I gained through training under Doron is above and beyond the typical 200-hr YTT. If you are considering taking this training, whether to become a teacher or deepen your personal practice, I strongly urge you to go for it. I signed up seeking purpose and peace in my life, and a year later, I am healthier and happier in mind, body, and spirit than I ever thought possible. Highly recommend!

Doron's teacher training was a life-changing experience for me. I was able to learn more about my relationship to my body and tune in to what I need from Yoga to carry out into the world. His teaching style is memorable and very intuitive.

Doron’s yoga teacher training was truly a life-transforming experience. I joined to learn more about yoga, but came away with a toolbox of solutions to deal with life’s stresses and worries. From breathing to nutrition, arm balances to meditation, I now feel I can navigate life with calmness and understanding. One word sums up this course: Inspirational! Thank you, Doron

Doron introduced me to the entire spectrum of yoga and let me define my own ways of understanding yoga, meditation, and nutrition, and the correlations between them and my life. Thank you for always being there through every lesson and every question, with your wisdom, your big smile, and warm hugs. Thank you for teaching yoga not only as a physical exercise, but also as a way to transform my life. Your way of living, practicing, and teaching yoga is an inspiration for me, and I feel blessed to be your student.

The training not only changed my life but also saved it. From meditation to nutrition, yoga poses, to adjusting, from teaching tools to anatomy, Doron’s expert knowledge and extensive depth in our training made the entire experience inspirational and grounding. The content was clear and to the point, and time was always made for questions and review. Doron was a teacher and mentor. I highly recommend the Doron Yoga Teacher Training. Doron’s attention to detail and his passion for his students are exceptional. I felt constantly cared for and feel so much more empowered to live my life with a smile on my face and to share and teach my knowledge of yoga to others.

Wow, after teacher training, my practice really took off. I am not ready to start teaching yet, but I wanted a home practice. I practice at home more often than not, and with all of Doron’s great tips and detailed teaching, my practice has now advanced nicely. Beyond the yoga asana, my whole life has gotten better. With our study of Ayurveda, I know better about myself, handle relationships better, and know what to eat to stay balanced. Do yourself a favor and take Doron’s teacher training. I promise you won't be disappointed.

I am swept away by your consistency in instruction and your positive attitude. I feel I learn from you not only yoga but also a way to approach the problems and difficulties that arise in my life. I find that when I’m struggling in class, I’m reminded of how my students must be struggling when I’m teaching them acting concepts and Shakespeare. You use positive energy to get students through the rough spots. You use humor and nurturing to approach challenges that seem great. I just want you to know that I really appreciate you, Doron, and sing your praises to almost everyone I meet! – Namaste,

For the first time, I got onto the arm balance with one leg out in back and held it for a good 7 seconds, feeling strong – your suggestion on how to do it was really the trick! I know 7 seconds sounds short but it has never been done by this body before. Thank you for being a phenomenal teacher!

Doron has studied with many teachers, has been involved with many forms of creativity, all beautifully woven into his philosophy of living a blissful life and being a flexaterian. I think this is one of the things that make him such a strong mentor. He has taken from his teachers, relationships, careers, his yoga practice, and his meditations, his day-to-day life lessons that light him up, which have changed him and brought him happiness. His beautiful melting pot of teachings are the most unique and powerful I have come across.

The Doron Yoga Teachers Training course has the unique quality of being in-depth and yet very easy to understand, digest, and remember. This derives from Doron's teaching techniques and very personal, approachable personality. As an experienced practitioner, Doron shares his rich knowledge and, more importantly, a fresh, dynamic perspective about the yoga world. The Asana practice and teaching methods are taught alongside Eastern philosophy and meditation, a combination that supports deep self-exploration. Expect a life-transforming experience.

Doron is a patient, warm, and attentive teacher who masterfully creates a supportive environment where students can explore their limitations and possibilities, with mindfulness and a light heart. Under his guidance, I was able to let go of attachment to results and instead focus completely on the process of the practice. The dynamic of Mysore — a group practice with individualized pace — is quite unique. But the true gift of the class was not the style of yoga, but the rare, special presence of a teacher who truly knows and can attend to body, heart, and mind.”

What I love about his style is that he sticks quite a bit to “traditional” Ashtanga style, but keeps it flexible, to make it more balanced and suitable for most people. Doron teaches in a fun, light manner, yet he has extensive knowledge and experience in meditation and philosophy. He is a modern spiritual yogi who lives his life being present in the moment, making the most of it while working towards stopping the fluctuations of the mind. Thank you so much for everything.

He is a healer - the way he welcomes everyone like family and his classes ( esp. Zen Dance!) - it melted my heart and helped me connect to my true self with ease and grace. “

It was beautiful to see how Doron is building up a whole new community and how is including and supporting the local people of Tzununa.

I walked into a private session with Doron, never having met him, and left two hours later feeling like he knew me better than people I have known for years. His presence eased the malaise in my mind, body, and spirit. His knowledge empowered me to continue doing the same for myself and those around me. I was hooked. I immediately scheduled another two sessions, and weeks later am still feeling like a more actualized version of my best self. Thank you, Doron, for this wonderful gift.

I had pain in my lower back that never went away. Thank you, because the pain in my lower back is gone. Even when I am driving or standing in line at the grocery store, I remember your voice: “breathe” and “the core”. Thank you for letting me appreciate yoga.

I love your teaching style, your perfect directions on how to move into a pose, your wonderful, gentle adjustments, and your positive comments. I will never do happy baby the same again after you showed us how to laugh while in the pose. No other instructor added that crucial ingredient.

You are a blessing to the yoga community. I like the tricks and alignment that I learned today. I will keep those in mind when I practice.

Today, several members insisted on speaking with me and expressed their genuine appreciation for your class. They had not met you before, however (as the members noted), “…Doron greeted everyone, established the range of participant abilities, then progressed into class as though we had worked with him for years. We were taken down entirely new paths with what we thought we knew.”

I really enjoy your light hearted and fun approach. At the same time, I fully appreciate the 1000's of hours you have dedicated to your practice. Your knowledge and expertise on multiple levels is very evident. Thank you for sharing with us.

I admire the depth of your teaching as much as the humorous lightness of your being. Been kind of addicted to your videos ever since I found your channel. Thanks for all the energy and love that you put out there".

It is so fun to hear your voice guiding, and the way you look at life makes me smile and think often about what I am grateful for! Can't wait to see and practice more with you

Great class thank you 🙏 Love listening to your wisdom, kindness, and humour while practicing.

Thank you, Doron, for a wonderful class and for your wonderful energy. You make the practice enjoyable and remind us of presence with your joyful approach.
