Past Student Testimonials
Allie M.
This program exceeded my expectations and I can honestly say deciding to complete this training was one of the best, if not the best decision I've ever made. Whether you want to be a yoga teacher or just want it for personal growth, you will come out confident to be a great yoga teacher and you will also have a new perspective and more self-love. If you're afraid of the time commitment adding to the stress in your life, you'll actually be learning to take BETTER care of yourself throughout it. I believe this program is the best of it's kind and I feel lucky to live in the area so I could attend (and I live in the U.S. so don't count it out if you live in the states:) Lauren (and all the teachers) is hands down, AMAZING! So knowledgeable, with a lot of experience, yet not dogmatic in their teaching. They recognize everyone's body is different and that everything depends on the intention:) If you're thinking about YTT, you won't be sorry you chose this one!

I enrolled in YTT for my own self-practice, to learn more about postures and deepen my understanding of yoga. What I gained through Lauren's training was so much more. Yoga holds new value for me now. Not only do I appreciate the harmony of breath, meditation, and movement – I learned from a collective of deeply passionate teachers that care about every YTT member.
When I began the training, I was apprehensive about the process. When I completed the course, I felt confident, excited and grateful! Lauren's program is organized, expertly instructed, and of course infused with unparallel passion. Thank you Lauren for bringing your wisdom, talents, and devotion to YTT.
Tanya W.
I had been doing yoga pretty seriously for a couple of years and decided I would like to expand and learn a bit more about something I loved perhaps work towards a career change or maybe just work towards learning about myself.
​
YTT was so much more than that. So amazing from day one... The teachers are beyond what I possibly could have imagined the anatomy, history, sequencing, asana, philosophy, prenatal, restorative, alignment all taught in such away you can't help but fall in love with every topic. I learn enough to be confident in each foundation. Gaining intelligence in such an energetic positive environment has left me so excited not only to share but to continue on this journey. Studying with like-minded humans has given me forever friendships and I feel the teachers support will carry on always. I honestly wish it never ended. I could learn in this environment forever!

5 stars***** Highly recommended. This is a comprehensive and complete program where you will experience many qualified and inspirational teachers. Lauren is passionate and embodies her truth; she has many years of experience and readily shares her knowledge. It is a privilege to have been her student; it has transformed how I see yoga and how I see myself. I am excited to graduate, and look forward to my future as a confident and courageous yoga teacher!
