    This is the highest level quality of professionalism and in-depth learning of all the 300-hour programs I considered. The faculty was authentic, experienced, compassionate, and full of wisdom. I am humbled by the opportunity to go forward and share the powerful teachings of Vajra Yoga for the benefit of all beings.

    I recently completed the 200 hr yoga teacher training program at The Yoga Space and it was an amazing experience. Michele and Ian are incredible lead trainers, who have a wealth of knowledge and experience in yoga, and their teaching styles complement each other perfectly. The training program was very well structured, covering all aspects of yoga, from philosophy and anatomy to asana practice and teaching methodology. I found the balance of lectures, practice sessions, and teaching practice to be just right. The Yoga Space itself is a beautiful studio, with plenty of natural light and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I always looked forward to coming to the studio for training sessions, as it felt like a second home. The community of students and teachers is also incredibly supportive and kind, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend The Yoga Space's 200 hr yoga teacher training program. It was an enriching experience that helped me deepen my understanding of yoga and develop my teaching skills. Thank you to Michele, Ian, Lauren and Allie, and the entire Yoga Space community for creating such a wonderful experience!

    The Yoga Space 200 hr YTT was fabulous. Michele and Ian, with support from Allie and Lauren, provided a deep understanding of yoga philosophy, anatomy, the subtle body, and asana. My practice has significantly improved and I feel empowered with the skills to teach and share yoga with others. I also gained many wonderful mentors and friends. I am so grateful to have found this community :)

    Michele is an exceptional teacher, with deep empathy for her students, and an extensive knowledge of the physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects of the many facets of yoga that she weaves into her trainings. Her training courses are creative, technical, rooted in historical context, and practical. I left feeling well-equipped to venture into a teaching practice of my own.
