Student Testimonial
"As a physical therapist, I was very impressed by the level of instruction on anatomy and alignment in the Yogaworks Training. There was an emphasis on learning how to intelligently sequence flows and think critically when planning classes. It also broadened my understanding of yoga history and philosophy in a way that is practical for modern day teaching.
Overall, the training laid a strong foundation and gave me the tools to continue to grow and evolve as a teacher in a way that feels authentic to myself."
