    This was the most wonderful experience at this time of my life. The moment I stepped into the studio as a student, it was the most welcoming and beautiful experience, starting with the ambience of the log cabin on 4.5 acres in the heart of Tampa and then the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. I began my teacher training with no intention to teach, just to further my own practice. At the end of my 200 hr YTT, my training took on a life of its own and I immediately signed up for 300 hr YTT. I learned so much. The class offerings were so comprehensive and the teachers are top-notch. Many experts in their fields were brought in to enhance our training in specific areas such as alignment, pranayama, anatomy, and yoga philosophy. I totally loved every aspect of my training at Lotus Pond and appreciated the expertise of each teacher. My favorite elective trainings were yoga for seniors, yin yoga and yoga nidra. With their help and guidance, I began teaching, first privately for family and friends, and then later in studio, office and corporate settings. I loved every single aspect of my Lotus Pond teacher training experience. I love Lotus Pond and know I will be a perpetual student there because they are always offering new and exciting classes to continue my education.

    I absolutely loved my experience at Lotus Pond. All of the teachers and staff members were so warm and welcoming. The training that I received went above and beyond my expectations. The ambience of the studio campus is so tranquil and peaceful, which has made it easy to fall in love with yoga. I would highly recommend the Lotus Pond Center for Yoga and Health.
