I enjoyed my time with Nicole and everyone at the school. She was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects and very accommodating to my needs. The school is very clean and they take everyone’s health and well-being seriously, I have never felt more safe and secure in any location since the pandemic started. I would strongly recommend this program and studio to anyone at anytime.
Gabby
I would highly recommend JBRYS 300YTT for any teachers looking to level up their teaching or deepen their practice. I’ve grown tremendously throughout this training, not only in my knowledge and skill teaching but also personally in my day-to-day life and personal yoga practice. Nicole, the lead instructor, makes you feel welcome and cares about you. Each student gets peer feedback as well as instructor support. There are options within the program that allow you to deepen your study of a particular area of yoga. This final project/workshop lets each student get what they want out of the program!
