Highland Yoga instructor at the studio reception desk, representing the team leading the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training.
I cannot express how grateful I am for this teacher training program. Each instructor is kind and genuinely wants to help you learn by sharing their extensive knowledge of the practice. This program will provide you with the foundation of teaching a yoga class, of course, but it will also give you a safe space to explore your personal strengths and learning styles. Along with all of the details about poses, breath, and alignment, they gave us the opportunity to hear from specialists regarding prenatal yoga, anatomy and preventing injuries, chakras, meditation, etc.
 
I truly believe that Highland Yoga’s YTT is one of the best, most well-rounded certifications around. While I might still not love public speaking, YTT taught be so much about sitting in the heat of being uncomfortable, exploring my truth, and focusing my energy. The entire experience was nothing short of life-changing and something I would pick again and again.

After over 4 years of practicing yoga as a student, I decided to take Highland Yoga’s training to become a teacher. The training gave me invaluable knowledge about alignment, breath, and how to effectively and safely guide students through a yoga class. In addition, I learned lots of bonus content in anatomy, prenatal yoga, meditation, and many other interesting and relevant topics.
 
Highland Yoga’s teacher training taught this perfectionist to embrace imperfections, be comfortable in the discomfort, and to shift my focus towards the present moment. On top of it all, I made connections with people with whom I’ll be lifelong friends. The instructors take a genuine interest in developing the trainees into the best yoga teachers they can be and I feel so fortunate to have gone through this training through Highland Yoga with them.
