    This teacher training has been a huge positive influence on my life. Very informative, the content I learned has helped me develop a much deeper understanding of yoga which has influenced my personal practice considerably. The structure of the class, the content, and the delivery were all spot on. Thanks so much!

    The training is extensive, insightful, and valuable: I learned about muscle engagement in poses which transformed my outlook on yoga and personal practice. I learned about the importance of safety, comfort, and inclusion, primarily through modifications, props, and word choices. I learned how to sequence a class from an anatomy lens, including building up to poses and descending. I learned how and when to give technical cues. I learned empowering philosophies and ways to craft a class meshing anatomy and yoga philosophy with your flare. I learned about myself through the training and the importance of others in a yoga setting.

    Wonderful teacher training! Everything was very well thought out and well organized. Teachers and staff are incredible! I was able to choose from different courses to tailor my education to match my needs. I was able to work closely with my teacher through a mentorship which was very helpful.
