Shine has an amazing training program. They balance the spiritual and physical side of yoga teaching very well and encourage students to find exactly what works for them. The program is arranged according to chakra and covers a diverse range of material.

I am so grateful that Kate Noble offered this training - it was a wonderful experience all around. I deepened my knowledge of the history of yoga, and drawing from ancient yoga teachings, formed a stronger basis for building a yoga class, approaching my own practice, and a truly heart-centered lens form which to view life. She gave my group space to grow, reflect, and be challenged. She was able to bring a diverse group of yogis into a unified circle of supportive friends. We benefited from Kate's vast experience with functional movement, her thoughtful preparation, and adaptability. We were also exposed to other teachers who gave us insight into other practices in the yoga "forest." My favorite skill was learning to weave an ancient teaching of yoga with a bhav (energetic quality) with a bit of personal flavor and focused alignment cues to a well rounded class suited for a variety of experience levels/students. No easy task! I definitely would recommend this training to the devoted yogi who wants to deepen his/her practice and have more to offer other students. Thanks again to Kate at Shine, loved my training!

I am very happy I decided to sign up for the 200-hour Foundational Teacher’s Training Program at Shine Yoga Center in Cincinnati because it exposed me to a broad spectrum of knowledge about yoga philosophy, history, meditation, mantras, mudras, proper body alignment, anatomy, class themes, chakras, etc. In other words, the training equipped me with he tools needed in order to grow not only as a yogi but also as a person. This program was led by wonderful, experienced teachers who, I know, will continue to be my support system on my journey as a yoga teacher.

Shine Yoga is top notch studio and school. Kate Noble, the director of School and the primary teacher of it's yoga programs is someone who is obviously living the yogic path. The teachings she provides are coming from her heart. The program is well designed so you can digest the information given and assimilate it into your life. I am leaving this program a better yoga teacher. I feel equipped to give my students the deeper meaning of yoga --- beyond the asana-- and into the heart of the practice that allows us to leave our lives fuller and with our fear. I highly recommend this program and anything Kate Noble presents.

Whether you have been practicing yoga for 1 year or 21 years, you are going to learn more than you could imagine in this teacher training program. Kate has written the most comprehensive manual that incorporates the perfect balance of philosophy, alignment, anatomy, and teaching strategies to help you become a teacher. If you’re not looking to teach but instead to deepen your yoga practice, then this program is also for you, as there is a great deal of introspection, meditation, and reflection to assist you in learning more about yourself. Shine studio has such a warm, welcoming, and inspiring atmosphere; you will be excited to walk through the door and you’ll walk out feeling better about yourself and about the world. I highly recommend this program and hope I can participate in future Shine training programs!
