Hear From Our Students
-
I enhanced my strength, mobility, body awareness, and healed injuries through smart movement while also learning to tap into my own energy and spirituality. I learned intelligent sequencing, basic anatomy, and philosophy giving me the tools and confidence whether choosing to teach or just enhance my own practice.
Ryan Dease
-
I was new to yoga, practicing one year, before being introduced to the this method. I quickly learned how transformative it is, prompting me to take the teacher training. This approach to yoga makes so much sense - teachers find it easier to teach yoga flows that produces positive results to the body, mind, spirit, and, most importantly, ensure a successful experience to the yogis in the class.
Christopher J. Randazzo, Gunnery Sgt., USMCR - Ret.

It is an inquiry-based teaching style, encouraging us as teachers to ask WHY something is done, rather than saying, "because that's how it's done." Lara Heimann integrates her extensive background as a physical therapist with yoga principles to provide a unique training experience.
Eunice Wong
-
I learned so much in this yoga teacher training and feel like I have a very strong foundation on which to continue building and growing as a yoga teacher. The emphasis on alignment, anatomy, and functional movement was logical, informative, and sustainable
Lily Adler
-
This training provided me with excellent knowledge of the body and functional movement. With this new knowledge, I have gained awareness in my own body, awareness in the bodies I see, and awareness in how we are moving. All of this changed my life in so many ways! As a teacher, I feel very well equipped, prepared, and confident!
