Thorough comprehensive instruction and an inclusive class setting, I received an excellent education through the school’s Summer Teacher Training Intensive. The core and guest instructors have the experience and know-how to provide incredible teachings that encouraged me to both pursue a career as a yoga teacher and also further my education. I couldn’t recommend the school more highly.
