Testimonials from Graduates

​Hi Lori! I did my first paid private session class today and ended with a mediation. The student started crying at the end and I wanted to let you know I was completely prepared in how to handle it from how you taught us in class. I felt the session really touched him and it made me so happy. I wanted to share with you and thank you again for all you have taught me!   - Casey B.
​The YTT [Yoga Teacher Training] training set off felt like a “planets aligning” moment in my life. The training provided me the space and time for self-discovery and growth as well as give me the confidence to instruct classes on my own. Since yoga school my life has shot off into period of growth! The pace of the training was very personalized. Someone with no experience would feel empowered to learn at their own speed and someone with a lot of experience would feel challenged to deepen their practice.  - Ryan W.

What Makes East Cincy Yoga Teacher Training Unique?
Learn to truly teach - Whether or not you go through training to be an instructor or just for yourself, our program isn't about memorizing and reciting sequences. Instead, an emphasis is placed on teaching principles for clearly instructing students bodies into alignment. Also, if you prefer more 1 on 1 training that is more personable, in a small group setting, then this is the training for you. We have a maximum of around 10 students during training in order to maintain that personal and intimate setting.

FAQ'S

​
What if I miss a Module during training?
If you miss a module we can either meet online for the day or if that's not possible we can give you the info to help you catch up. If you miss 2 module weekends you will make it up in the next training and graduate then. 

How long should I be practicing yoga before beginning training?

This is up to each individual - When you are ready to go deeper you will know. This is not about how far you can stretch your body, it's more like - how far can you open and stretch your mind. We have many students that simply want to take the teacher training to learn more for their own practice instead of becoming instructors. If this is the route you choose then you can decide whether or not you want to do the 20 minute peer flows and hour public class.
