★★★★★

The teaching by done Carolyn Long and Sanctuary OC was beyond stellar. I learned an exceptional amount and feel confident to teach. Yoga was taught well at the granular level of movements all the way to the safety of teaching and practicing to the philosophy and way of life.

★★★★★

My teacher training at SanctuaryOC was truly magical and an experience I am eternally grateful for! The heart and soul of this journey is my instructor, Carolyn Long, who I honestly view as my 'yoga mother.' Carolyn is the definition of a true Yogi, making her the ideal mentor for aspiring instructors. She is incredibly knowledgeable and trustworthy, providing us with the solid foundation needed to step into the role of a teacher ourselves. She lives by all the Yogic principles she teaches, setting a brilliant example for professional and authentic practice. Her dedication goes beyond the mat—she even texts us our plan for the day before training begins! I learned so much about myself, which is crucial for authentic teaching, because Carolyn is profoundly supportive, caring, and loving. She creates the most welcoming and safe space for immense personal growth and technical mastery. If you are seeking a program led by a genuine, experienced mentor ready to guide the next generation of yoga instructors, look no further than SanctuaryOC with Carolyn. I finished this program with a full heart and the confidence to begin teaching my own class.
