“The 200 hour yoga teacher training was a well-rounded program that gave me everything I needed to begin my teaching journey and develop my personal practice. It helped me with learning to live yoga on a deeper and more meaningful level. The staff was supportive, loving, kind and dedicated to our development. The relationships built while studying in the program have been significant and quite fulfilling. I will always be bonded to this Kula. We are truly a community of the heart. We were advised that by the end of the program we would have all the information we needed to lead classes successfully, and I have found this to be accurate. Every challenge, setback, or unplanned event while teaching has been met with the knowledge provided to me by this program.”
