Testimonials

 

I walked away with a community and the confidence to teach students. The experience was priceless!

—hannah

“The experience was priceless!”

 
 

Midtown Yoga teacher training was one of the most transformative eight week periods of my life. I not only grew stronger physically in my practice, but I deepened my self-awareness and feel more grounded and connected in everything that I do. 

The intensive eight-week program allowed me to learn from some of the most passionate, influential and engaging experts in Raleigh's yoga community.

I ended the training feeling confident and empowered in my abilities as a teacher, but I also left with so much more.

I not only witnessed changes in myself, but I watched my fellow trainees grow into the best versions of themselves. I consider them to not only be great friends, but sisters. The community at Midtown Yoga really feels like a second home and the yoga family I never knew I needed.

Midtown Yoga's 200hr Teacher Training program was led with intention and professionalism. Not only did this program prepare me to step into a studio classroom and teach right after graduation, but it also gave me a better understanding of the practice beyond Asana. The program leads at Midtown did an incredible job of fostering a sense of community, creating an open space for all levels and demographics of practitioners and I'm proud to say that I am still very close with multiple teachers I completed training with. I can't thank Midtown enough for the support they provided throughout YTT and beyond.

MY Teacher Training is perfect for anyone who is trying to deepen their practice both on and off that mat, as well as share their practice with others through teaching. As a high schooler I was part of a dance studio that was my home away from home. Ever since then I have craved that bond with others...till now.

I found my family away from home and a group of women who love me for all that I am. I laughed, cried, and was vulnerable. At the end of this training, we all found our voice and our passion for yoga on and off the mat deepened.

This training was more than I could have asked for--plenty of guidance, encouragement, and feedback. I left the training more confident than when I started, and I'm filled with sadness knowing I won't be seeing all of the smiling faces that I spent so much time with and the loving instructors who guided my cohort through these life-changing 8 weeks. If you sign up for teacher training, prepare to be forever changed.

—QUENETTA

“I left the training more confident than when I started.”

 

The Teacher Training lead team made students feel seen, challenged, and capable. They provided the structure to give the trainees the skills needed to teach and allowed enough freedom to explore creativity and find our own personalities as teachers. After 8 weeks, 200 hours--and 1,000 Chaturangas later--I went from originally signing up to deepen my yoga practice and explore to designing and teaching entire classes with a depth of knowledge on yoga anatomy. I also grew my practice beyond asana, learning about my chakra system, the history of yoga and the other limbs of yoga.

I am so grateful for the people and place that created a safe space to discover, grow and find my freedom and creativity again. To be able to return home to my body and reconnect with parts of myself I lost or hid away is a beautiful gift, and Midtown Yoga played a big role in helping make that a reality for me.

—TRacy
