Testimonials from TYI Graduates

  • Emily Hiebert, RYT 200

    “This was the best training experience I could have ever asked for, and the constant love and support from Julianne and Prema was amazing. I had so much fun learning about everything from teaching methodology, sequencing, pranayama, meditation, and functional anatomy to yoga history and philosophy. They made learning fun and engaging while providing quality and complete content. I felt empowered and beautifully guided through the entire training program, and I really appreciated their efforts to help highlight the unique strengths and goals of each teacher in the training to make it a personalized learning experience. Additionally, I loved learning about the therapeutic approach to teaching to best support students with stability and ease while giving them back agency and choice in their personal practice.”
