Embodied Practice YTTP Testimonials

Michele developed a thorough, well designed, comprehensive program and I anticipate many protégés that will benefit from her expertise and mentoring. ~ Kim

I learned so much and am so grateful for the Embodied Practice teacher training program. The program did a fantastic job highlighting anatomical alignment, biomechanics, injury prevention, and pedagogical structure. Because of the program, I feel confident in my ability to structure and sequence a safe class to teach to any level of practitioner, from beginner to advanced. Michele is a great mentor. She mindfully led the class through a process of self-discovery and transformation over the course of 16 weeks. ~ Ave

I loved deepening my practice with the Embodied Practice Yoga School. I gained in-depth knowledge of the biomechanical processes of the yoga postures, enabling a better understanding of my own body and practice and how to guide students through their practice with safe alignment, maintaining the integrity of the pose. Micheles knowledge of biomechanics, movement, and yoga is very evident and makes for a valuable learning experience. ~ Lindsay
