I would strongly recommend this 200hr Yoga Teacher Training program. Alina has a wide breadth of yoga expertise and she is a life long learner and who easily communicates information with her students. My classes were online (still some covid protocols) and I feel that it was adapted extremely well (hands on assists were presented but of course different than being physically present). She included guest speakers (e.g. a yoga teacher with a traumatic brain injury) and subject matter experts who added depth and practical information to the training. Teaching began the very first day (to our classmates) and while I was anxious at first, it proved to be such a valuable experience as I graduated feeling ready to lead my first public yoga class. Alina continues to offer mentorship that allows for continued learning and support.

Alina is profoundly knowledgeable about yoga asana, anatomy and philosophy; and always makes herself accessible for questions. In fact, she continues to run a weekly mentoring session for graduates which is extremely beneficial.

Completing the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Alina and Lynn proved to be a transformative journey! The program pushed me out of my comfort zone, unveiling aspects of myself previously undiscovered. While initially intimidating, what sets this training apart was Alina and Lynn's commitment to excellence. Their meticulous approach, leaving no detail unnoticed, created an environment that demanded our full dedication-- ultimately creating confidence in myself that I could be an exceptional yoga teacher. The collaboration between their teaching styles, created a well-rounded curriculum. This program not only provided an educational experience but also a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Highly recommended for those seeking a holistic and transformative yoga experience. And a special thanks to Lynn for making anatomy a fun experience for this social science gal!

Overall, fantastic program and faculty! The training went well above and beyond my expectations, so much so that I will be continuing my education with Alina next year. I will carry forward what I have learned here with my fellow "lovely yogis" into the rest of my life. I am grateful for the opportunity and experience! :-)
