Testimonials
This program is absolutely incredible. It truly changed my life. Daniela, Christopher and Jeannie are the trifecta of excellent teaching. They not only show you how inclusive yoga is and make you feel so welcome but they pack a TON of information into the program. Things that truly changed my outlook on my ability to be a yoga teacher myself.
Awesome! Incredible! Life changing! I promise I'm not exaggerating! What an amazing gift Yoga Farm has been for me. I thought I was going to learn how to be a yoga teacher. Yes, I learned how to be a yoga teacher but I've also learned that there is so much more to yoga than Asana. And my journey is just beginning. I am so excited to continue on this journey with Yoga Farm and take more classes!! Amazing. Love, love, love Yoga Farm and all the fabulous teachers!!
