    For the 6 months of my 200 hour training, The Lotus Pond was my home away from home. Not only did I learn the foundation and philosophy of yoga, but it was taught in a way I feel only The Lotus Pond teachers could teach. The individuals teaching in the program were knowledgeable and so heartfelt and passionate about what they were teaching. They really conveyed to us that there is no limit in yoga, no top tier to reach.... just a constant bettering and understanding of yourself and how to implement gradual life changes. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to dig deeper. Whether you are looking to enhance your life on a personal level or to teach others The Lotus Pond is an amazing place to earn your 200 hour certification. You honestly gain so much more than just that.

    The Lotus Pond 300hr Teacher Training is wonderful. The mandatory curriculum courses deepened my knowledge of all aspects of yoga while the assortment of elective courses allowed for in depth studies into specialized practices. Amazing studio with amazing teachers. So very very glad I chose The Lotus Pond for my continued study.

    Words cannot adequately express my gratitude to the teachers, staff, and community at The Lotus Pond! I couldn't have made a better choice for my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. From the highly-skilled teachers, master-teachers with specialized experience, asana practice, philosophy discussions, to the hours of "teach-backs" woven throughout – every aspect helps students to gain knowledge, confidence, and hands-on experience. This program enabled me to make meaningful connections, experience valuable insights, and to grow as a student, teacher, and as a human being in general. I am so grateful and humbled to have studied at this special place with such a beautiful community of inspiring peers and teachers. I highly recommend The Lotus Pond Yoga Teacher Training program to those seeking to deepen their knowledge and practice of yoga.

    The Lotus Pond has the most amazing 200-hour YTT program. Their program curriculum is more than complete and able to prepare any student to be able to teach yoga. The program also provides deeper personal growth benefits and access to an amazing community of like-minded individuals.

    Lotus Ponds teacher training changed my life and outlook on life in a way that I had been searching for years. I have a much deeper understanding of yoga, how to teach yoga, and of myself after attending my 200 hour ytt at Lotus Pond. The people who run the lotus pond and teach at the center are deeply kind, thoughtful and genuine people.
