Trailside Yoga School

Could not have had a better YTT experience. This program is student-centered and focuses on each individual's personal journey and growth. Each session included time for self-reflection and journaling. Students were also encouraged to create a personal mission statement and create a values map. This allowed me to dig into my intentions and goals as a teacher as well as the impact I want to have on my students. The space and understanding I was able to create for myself made me feel confident encouraging growth and holding space for my students. The amount of time spent on practice teaching was also extremely beneficial. Students were given to opportunity to lead a short breathwork or meditation practice at the beginning of every session. By the final few weekends of my session, students were teaching condensed versions of entire classes to one another. The time dedicated to practice teaching allowed me to develop a ton of confidence and feel extremely comfortable teaching an original sequence to a public class right after graduation. To top it all off, the teachers at Trailside are just the best. Everyone is extremely supportive, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do, and it's such an inspiring and uplifting environment to be in.

The best yoga training experience I could have imaged!
