"Aloha! It’s my pleasure to recommend Deborah Dove to any group involved in the healing arts and the nurturing of the human spirit. I met Deborah 2 years ago in Kipahulu when she came to gift her services for meditation courses offered through the Quepasana Foundation. I had the opportunity to get to know Deborah during the many courses she helped facilitate at both the Ashland and Kipahulu centers. Deborah is one of those rare individuals whose multifaceted knowledge and experience is matched by her enthusiasm and her heartfelt desire to share her gifts. Deborah was always willing to jump in at any time to facilitate where the need was most. Deborah has assisted in all areas of course preparation. She has conducted memorable yoga classes as well as shared her gifts with body work and her knowledge of nutrition and health. What I most appreciate about Deborah is her zest for life and her passion to learn and share. She is focused and calm and she can gracefully hold space in all situation. She is compassionate and available to support on many levels. I have no doubt that Deborah will always find herself in the perfect station in life. As she follows her calling with her open heart, all along the way will be blessed." -Libby Riter

Her support and enthusiasm for other is unmatched and I am deeply grateful to her for that. She truly is a loving “dove” with the ability to see the beauty in others because she is so beautiful inside out… The Spirit of Aloha Teacher Training has changed my life. I have never felt so grateful for our world before. Mahalo to my incredible teachers, Allowah, Angel, Deborah, and to my new family.” ♥ Sufey Chen, Yoga Teacher & Kirtan Artist, sufey.org
"It has been my great honor, privilege, and pleasure to work with Deborah as a co-creator of our Spirit of Aloha Yoga Teacher Training. Deborah brought many gifts and skills to our program, among them highly effective communication and interpersonal skills, a very broad knowledge of yoga culled from years of experience, an inspiring teaching style, vast creativity, a beautiful voice & a great gift for songwriting, and most of all her obvious love of life. Not to mention that we really harmonized and synergized so well as a teaching duo, due in no small part to Deborah's great ability to listen and add just the right elaboration; and in other cases, to lead and be open to my riffing off and adding to her flow. I had no question about working with Deborah again for future teacher trainings and retreats, and I have no reservations about giving Deborah the highest accolades as a person and a teacher. I wish for her what is already hers -- well-deserved success in all her endeavors." – Allowah Lani

"My class is taught by Deborah Dove Eudene, who has led … workshops at team-building retreats for Silicon Valley firms. 'In this day and age of cellphones and text messages, it’s a great way to bring people together,' she says. Deborah has big, dewy, hazel-brown eyes, which I become very aware of because before I can fly I have to stare into them and breathe somatically with her until we both feel in sync. But before that the whole class sits in a circle, and we make a heart sandwich, putting our left hand on our own chest and our right hand on the back of the person next to us, so that each of our hearts beats between two hands. After all the preliminaries, we balance on each other’s feet while stretching out our arms to fly like airplanes or grabbing our ankles in midair backbends. It’s a lot of fun, and by the end of class our little group of strangers has bonded. I tell Deborah that this really is a great way to bring people together, and she tells me about her dream of .. [sharing] at the highest levels of power. 'I would love to see our political leaders in Congress breathing somatically together before making decisions,' she says. 'I would love to see all the ambassadors at the United Nations starting their meetings in a big heart sandwich.'" - David Thompson, Hana Hou!
