Yoga Teacher Training
What Our Graduates Are Saying
“I am so honored to have received my yoga teacher training at the Yoga Lab. The teaching staff at the studio, and my peers, made this experience so amazing. I learned more than what any other yoga training program offered to teach me. I was challenged physically and mentally in the best way possible and I went deep into my yoga practice and feel prepared to teach others in the future. I would train with the Yoga Lab again in the future if presented with another opportunity, thank you!”

“Yoga Lab is true to their mission. They provide a safe space for individuals to discover themselves while educating them in a vinyasa-flow based style with a strong foundation in functional movement and comprehensive anatomy lessons.

“It was a great experience to take my RYS-200 Training with such an amazing group of teachers at Yoga Lab. The training provides in-depth understanding on yoga anatomy, philosophy, asanas, teaching skills, meditation and breathing practice. The readings and “omworks” are very helpful for me to build on my knowledge in yoga. Teachers are knowledgeable and very supportive. Throughout the training, I felt every class and every homework I did were just like a building blocks, which created a solid foundation for my future yoga career. I like the way how the teachers incorporate the teaching skill since the beginning of the training. At first, we were asked to teach Sun Salutation to our classmates, then we wrote our small sequences and taught it to each other. Through the consistent practice, your confidence in teaching were created with your skills. When we came to prepare our final practicum, I felt that I learned so many things. I’m so proud and grateful to be part of this supportive yoga community!”
