Soon to be teacher and forever student

The small setting of unique people brought incredible diversity and insight from various yoga lives. The course information was exactly what I needed and it is mind blowing how calm and confident in my ability to convey the amazing art of yoga to my fellow humans I began to feel as the course came to a close. This choice in my journey has already opened many doors of wonder for me and will only continue to do so. The training embodied everything in me that I needed to share my love and dedication for yoga with the world. I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into but in the end I was forever changed and delighted yet again with a new found level of serenity. :)

Andy and Tamara created a clear and easy class to follow as well as bringing in awesome speakers that specialized in different aspects such as Anatomy, Ayurveda, and the deities. This was an amazing experience with 10 other people, a small and intimate group, and will be truly missed after this coming weekend, our last weekend :(

I was so lucky to have found this Teacher Training and found Andy and Tamara through it. They are AWESOME teachers, so encouraging and they just really know what they are doing. I love to practice with them and plan to continue to after my training is over.

If you are thinking about taking the Teacher Training Certification, stop your search here. It is by far the best around!!!!

This is a very hands on Vinyasa Flow-focused class with an emphasis on being able to leave the class ready to teach and adjust with confidence. From the very beginning we are instructing classes with gradual increases in length and depth, and gaining experience speaking and instructing others while adjusting.

With this being the first Vinyasa Arts class, there were a few things learned along the way, but Andy & Tamara are very adaptable and picked up on the needs of the class. For example, the class requested hard copies of the lessons and power points, and they provided those to us. Another example is the scheduling of lectures/materials, in which they were flexible and able to adapt to the class' strengths and needs. If there was something we were very interested in or needed additional assistance, they were quick to cover those topics more in depth, but still maintained the overall curriculum goals.

I think my favorite thing about this training is that Andy & Tamara encourage creativity and for each student to find their unique niche. They want us to shine as individuals and help us find our own teaching styles built upon a foundation of strong alignment. Walking away from this training, I feel like I can already teach a class in my own personal style, with clear alignment cues and knowledge of the asanas.

The physical studio is in the process of being moved to a gorgeous spacey building with changing rooms and bathrooms. If it were staying in the current building, I'd be tempted to rank a little lower, due to the lack of bathrooms/changing rooms. But the current building was unfortunately the victim of unforeseen circumstance/change, and they have this well under control. I cannot wait to practice in the new studio! Even with the current situation I felt at home and comfortable in the space.

Overall, this teacher training was a life changing experience and I would recommend this studio to any of my closest friends, which is why I gave them 5 stars. I felt completely supported and they were understanding when my hectic life left me a little tired and less available than I had hoped. Yoga training is much more than just learning asanas, you grow as an individual in ways you didn't expect.

One of the best things about the Vinyasa arts training was that we began teaching within the first couple weeks. Even if it was for five minutes each, we were up and speaking right away. I personally have been challenged with public speaking, and through vinyasa arts i feel as if I am finally able to overcome my fear. Not only do i feel like a well rounded, educated yogini, i also truly feel like I can be a teacher for life.
There was a good amount of lecture, which was just the right amount, combined with very detailed demonstrations, and always hands on experience with the trainees to ensure we have the experience to teach others.
The price of the training was very affordable. I feel the training I received is very valuable, and I couldn't have asked for better teachers. Not to mention how beneficial the small class size was. With about a dozen students, Andy and Tamara were able to give us a lot of one on one time, and all questions were answered.
I hope in the future that I can take my 300 hour teacher training with Tamara and Andy. This training has really changed my life for the better.
