Testimonials
Monisha Bhanote, MD - 200hr YTT 2017, current 500hr YTT
I looked at a lot of programs before I decided on this training and the Yoga Medicine® training exceeded my expectations. It was the best decision I made and anyone would benefit from it! This program reviews anatomy at the level of some medical schools, in fact, I always joke that this program is the Ivy League of yoga trainings.
Sophie Tashkovski - 500hr YTT
There is no doubt that I become a better teacher with each training I attend. Yoga Medicine® trainings have fine tuned my understanding of anatomy, and helped me understand how to better support my individual clients. I’ve also learned so much about my own body and how to treat it with kindness. Yoga Medicine® trainings have changed my yoga perspective, now I can appreciate where I'm at on any given day and find ways to support whatever I need.
