The teacher training at giving tree covers so many different topics that are important in making you prepared to be comfortable and knowledgeable when you reach the point of standing in front of your first class. The anatomy segment is lengthy and teaches the the terminology and body awareness necessary to provide instruction to others based on where they are in their own bodies. The philosophy branch of knowledge was introduced in a way that gave us a great way to learn enough to get our journeys started and also know where we may want to dig deeper and learn more.

I absolutely loved going through my YTT training with Giving Tree Yoga Studio. The teachers did a wonderful job of conveying what yoga is really about. Even with a group of us we each received individual attention and had wonderful discussions throughout our training. I would highly recommend it!!

Great classes and very inclusive mindset, I appreciate the focus on welcoming everyone to Yoga. Giving Tree is a yoga community dedicated to improving lives through movement, but also nurturing the mind to support the challenges of life; this is all present in their YTT curriculum and it shows.

Giving Tree Yoga is incredible! Melissa Lopez and Christy Newsome did an exceptional job guiding us through our 200 hour teacher training. They covered anatomy, philosophy, and all of the proper teaching techniques in such impressive detail. I graduated with not only confidence in teaching, but with a deeper passion for the practice.

Giving Tree Yoga was absolutely the best place for me to get my certification! The teachers are extremely knowledgeable about various types of yoga and how it affects the the mind and body. I really appreciated the deep dives we would go into about yoga philosophy and history. My inner nerd adored the opportunity to learn and discuss that. I would highly recommend this studio for students and for aspiring yoga teachers.

I love that this studio and the training is very inclusive. They not only teach that yoga is for "all" but they teach you how to teach "all" through emphasis on both the muscular and skeletal systems. They are also very open to handling all sorts of questions and anything is up for discussion! I would highly recommend this studio for your practice or for teacher training and ongoing education.

Giving Tree Yoga gave the most amazing experience I could have asked for during a teacher training. The teachers, and the other students in YTT taught me more than I ever could have imagined. I feel knowledgeable and prepared to teach a group of students. Writing my own sequences was my absolute favorite part. I loved learning the anatomy of the body and how it all really fits together. This was an experience like no other.
