    I completed my training while The Studio was still open. I participated in the immersion training, and most days were in person, with a couple days of online training since we were (still are) in the pandemic. I loved the training and I learned so much about improving my own practice, building yoga teacher skills, and becoming a better person. I made some great friends through the training, who I am still in touch with today. The training experience was a supportive and safe community that helped me build my skills to get where I am today. Alex (the lead yoga teacher trainer) and Valerie were both amazing teachers and provided me with a lot of different knowledge for creating yoga sequences that are accessible for all students who come to my class. I would highly recommend the program to others, and I am very grateful for the experience that I had.

    Alex does an amazing job providing his students with massive amounts of content, which is available through books, videos, and other suggested reading during and after you have completed your training. I feel this provides me the foundation plus the ability to grow as I develop as a teacher. He brings context to difficult topics, allowing for open discussion, demonstrations, and examples. As a new teacher, he allows his students to understand better and the tools in our toolbox. Alex also provided us with various teachers to gain additional knowledge and approaches to our yoga centered life. He does present a safe container for all his students to learn even through this difficult time of covid-19. I so appreciated his ability to adapt in these times.

    I am extremely grateful for the 21CYM training program. I have learned how to continue my practice safely, in alignment with the scientific principles derived from the physical body while going deeper inside with the exposure provided to the philosophical underpinnings of the yoga traditions.

    A life-changing experience. I highly recommend the teacher training program at The Studio for anyone interested in expanding their practice. An absolute wonderful program! The Studio is without a doubt the best choice for me when it came to my training and certification. Alex and the other teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, dedicated, fair and well-rounded. I couldn't imagine anyone else who I'd rather learn from.
