I completed Pacific Yoga Teacher Training in 2008. This course was a huge blessing for me in so many ways, apart from the “learning proper form” aspect of it. There are intricacies within this practice of yoga that I never knew were there: things to do with the poses themselves, self-study, things having to do with yoga’s place in the entirety of our lives as dedicated Yogis. This course showed me how interconnected all of this is, that the way you practice your asanas says a lot about the way you practice your life… The teachers are fantastic, each with large bodies of work behind them. The curriculum knits together all their strongest points to create this learning environment where ideas flourish... it was really neat to be a part of that. Over the course of my time studying with Theresa Elliott, Kathryn Payne and Paul Bubak, I learned that a certificate from Pacific Yoga is quite well regarded in the community. At that time I was already excited just to be a part of this, but when I learned that... I knew exactly why. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the gift of a whole new perspective on the practice, and treat your students to the gift of a top-notch teacher.

I am so glad I took this particular teacher training program. Not only did I learn how to teach yoga, this was also the place where I finally truly learned how to DO yoga. Yes, I’d been practicing off and on for the last 10 years, and had had a regular home practice for the last two and a half when I started. But when Theresa Elliott began explaining each pose to us, step by step, the principles of movement that were involved, and how to avoid injury, I found the clarity of instruction that, until then, didn’t realize I’d been long craving. The depth and specifics of each pose came to life, and immediately my practice and appreciation of yoga changed and grew more satisfying. I actually began to think about movement and asana in a new, holistic, yet analytical way. As far as learning to teach, well, I began the program mostly to build personal knowledge, feeling fairly uncertain about both my desire and ability to teach. But again, with such clear and compassionate instruction, my abilities and my confidence grew, and by the end, when I gave my teaching presentation, I felt “delivered” as a yoga teacher.

Pros: Three very knowledgeable and experienced teachers, good location, workable class schedule

Cons: None
