Student reviews
Janel Usry is an incredible instructor of yoga theory and history as well as asanas. She is a brilliant teacher and very skilled at conveying the material. She and her husband Horace, together have created a truly magical and inspiring yoga school. They are very committed to every student and their warmth and kindness is a great support. While each of the students in my training received a 200 hr certificate, we all gained so much more which cannot be quantified.
I had the most incredible experience at Nexus. Janel and Horus have created an extremely well organized and paced program that truly nurtures all of the students in their journeys to become yoga teachers. I learned so much within my three weeks at Nexus and I would recommend their program to anyone!
