    From the moment I walked in to Power Moves Yoga it felt like home. Crystal welcomed me with a level of presence I had never quite experienced before. Andrew’s down to earth personality helped me to instantly know they were the right mentors for me on my yoga journey. Fast forward a few months to teacher training, I was blown away by the depth of knowledge and appreciation they both hold for yoga. Going into the experience, I never imagined I’d learn so much about all areas of yoga including anatomy, philosophy, and of course the science behind teaching a class. The program was absolutely transformational, and if I could I would do it again. After training, they both continued to be guides for me as I became an instructor on their team. Their encouragement and feedback helped me to find my own voice as an instructor. When the time came for me to take the leap into opening my own studio, their wisdom and support continued to guide me on my journey. I am beyond grateful that my journey led me into Power Moves Yoga. I am the women I am today because of the energy this space holds.

They have immense passion and dedication for their practice and genuinely care for each and every person that comes into their studio. They are welcoming and compassionate and have made me feel like I have a place where I belong.

    I highly recommend Power Moves Yoga's teacher training program. It has helped me grow so much as a yogi and as a person. Their commitment to their teacher trainers exceeds beyond the program. I know that I will always have Power Moves Yoga as a resource throughout my yoga teaching career.

    I highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in delving deeper into their understanding of yoga. The lead teachers, Crystal and Andrew, have a wealth of knowledge about all aspects of yoga and will help you uncover awareness, understanding, and confidence in yourself and your practice. The program is immensely practical, and also covers history and philosophy to put the practical in context. You will finish the program feeling ready to begin teaching!
