What our Certified Teachers have said
So grateful to have completed my Yoga Teacher Training with Sam. Due to their extensive training I absolutely feel I have greatly deepened my understanding of yoga and refined my own practice. I am confident I could now safely a lead a class. But much more than that- their training gave me many tools-life skills to use off the mat to improve the quality of my life and help others. The studio is a welcoming, intimate space with good vibes literally bouncing off the walls. Thank you for a truly life changing experience..you are amazing teachers!” -Gia G.
“YOUniversal Yoga provided a safe, loving environment for me to learn and grow as I did yoga teacher training. Rather than simply watching, my peers and I were asked to teach the asanas to each other, giving us all an opportunity to experience teaching, gain confidence and prepare for the final." Mike.
"Instructors are authentic, knowledgeable, supportive, and devoted people with whom I will share a lifelong bond. Having recently graduated, I know I chose the right school - I am confident, knowledgeable, strong and well prepared to share the joy of yoga with others". -Michael C.
"I had the pleasure of taking their 200HR YTT this past February and it was a dream come true. Sam & Carissa make a great team and they make you feel so at home, safe, loved and VALUED. They are so thorough with explaining every single posture, the history of yoga and the anatomy of yoga. You will feel SO ready to teach once you receive your certification. This was the best money spent! Thank you Sam & Carissa for making this so special! <3" -Ariana R.
