    Attending the Lotus Pond Teacher Training school was one of the best decisions I have made. Their curriculum was set in a way that was easy to understand, the teachers are compassionate professionals, and the studio is so peaceful and tranquil. This program literally changed my life and because of that I am ever so grateful!

    The Lotus Pond is a hidden oasis for those who feel the pull of heart towards balance in life. A compassionate and safe place welcoming every student with open arms. A space where we can explore and reach within to study the many aspects of yoga (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual). Under the clear and careful instruction of The Lotus Pond’s great teachers they encourage to express the natural teacher in everyone. The experience of training here will always have a special place in my heart.

    The Lotus Pond experience guided my journey with knowledgable and insightful teachers who are committed to giving a well rounded and inclusive curriculum to the students. Starting the program before the pandemic, I experienced joyful learning with like minded individuals. During the ePlatform learning, the same community happened, all because teachers and staff at Lotus Pond made it happen!

    Lotus Pond was the best experience of my life even during a pandemic. I remember how diligent they were in offering and providing us the best experience they could while also making use feel comfortable and safe. The teachers there are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I couldn't have asked for a better yoga teacher training.

    Having done my 200hr at The Lotus Pond, I wanted to be able to continue my learning there. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be able to continue my learning. The Lotus Pond provided me with such enriching and valuable information, practice, and expanding my knowledge of yoga and meditation. Doing this partially during the pandemic, the teachers and staff made it so the experience was still engaging. I appreciate being able to have continued my learning with The Lotus Pond.
