  • What do past graduates say about the program?

    I have just completed my online yoga teacher training with the Yoga Education Institute. I'm thrilled! The material was interesting and thorough, and Nancy's prompt help and responses were invaluable. I live in a rural area where it is difficult to find training, so after researching and asking qualified teachers to help me review and find a good course, I decided on this one. My goal was to attain a deeper understanding of yoga practice and philosophy.  I feel like I now have the knowledge and confidence to delve deeper into my practice, and to share this with others in my community.  Thank you!

  • What do past graduates say about the program?

    The idea of getting yoga instructor training had crossed my mind many times, but I worried I couldn’t be a good instructor because I am not able to do all the postures in textbook perfection. After discovering this online training program, I contacted Nancy. Her encouraging answers to my questions motivated me to get enrolled in the training program. I’m so glad I made this decision. The training manual is well written, easy to understand and follow. The written tests promote thinking and deeper understanding. The assignments are well structured, so after I finished all of them, I truly mastered the material, on paper and in my yoga class room. I feel so much more confident now and my teaching shows it. Several friends were impressed and asked about the training after attending my classes. I highly recommended this training program.

    Nancy's online teacher training is a great mix of videos, written materials and homework practices. Each theory session ends with a practical wrap up with sample exercises or questions to think about reflecting the session. Nancy herself has been easily accessible and very helpful throughout the course, providing  prompt replies to all inquiries. The course materials are very clear and informative and poses well broken down to steps with great illustrations. All in all, a great online hatha yoga teacher course you can do at your own pace! Thank you Nancy!

    The materials for the course are well-written, important to me as a retired English teacher, and easy to navigate.

  • What do past graduates say about the program?

    The yoga institute provided me with a well-rounded understanding of all the components of a well-planned yoga class. Since this was an online course, I was able to study at a time that fit into my chaotic schedule. I also liked the access to various yoga videos, which was great for home practice. I feel much more confident as a teacher and as a practitioner because of this course.
