    I couldn’t be more grateful for the two weeks I just spent living and learning at Heartwood Yoga Institute. I left the immersive teacher training program with so much more than a certificate. More than a head full of poses. My chatty mind was soothed by meditative, centering moments. My heart grew full from diving deep into yogic philosophies that have guided and united millions of people over thousands of years. I’m inspired to “reach for something higher” both on and off the mat. Spending this time with like-minded (and even like-aged) people was one of the most unique experiences of my life. I highly recommend Heartwood to anyone — for a class, a weekend workshop or an immersive teacher training. You’ll leave truly fulfilled.

Heartwood Yoga Institute and Retreat Center's RYT300 program is a comprehensive and transformative experience for any aspiring yoga teachers looking to deepen their knowledge and practice. The location of Heartwood and all of the work put into making it the most beautiful, serene, and peaceful environment for self-discovery and growth make this program above and beyond any expectations. The natural setting greatly contributes to the sense of retreat and immersion, allowing students to truly focus on their practice. It is an experience I will not forget. Thank you! Full Review
