The Yoga Teacher Training (Y2 TT) was truly an exceptional experience. The instructors were not only highly knowledgeable but also deeply engaged, creating an environment that fostered both learning and personal growth. The lessons I gained throughout the training were transformative and will undoubtedly serve as an outstanding foundation for my journey as a teacher. This program exceeded my expectations, equipping me with the tools, confidence, and inspiration to thrive in my teaching path.

Y2 Teacher Training was such a profound experience that I am so proud of. Thank you to Johnna, Tanner & Rian for being so knowledgeable, helpful, and just fun during those five weekends that we spent learning from you. I have already recommended this training to anyone I know who is interested or on the fence about starting their own teaching journey! Excited for what is to come.

The Y2 200 Hr Teacher Training program was thoroughly informative both on the physical level of the actual practice as well as on the mental/spiritual level. Johnna leads the teacher training and she continues to stand out as the most influential instructor I’ve ever had the pleasure of practicing with. She is incredibly open and welcoming, making space for everyone, and at the same time challenging you to become the best version of yourself.

This is a very comprehensive program led by yoga professionals with decades of experience and knowledge in several types of yoga, yoga philosophy, physiology, hands-on assisting and even a sanskrit scholar. Highly recommend!

Y2 Yoga’s 200 hr YTT was one of the best experiences of my life. Johnna and Tanner were fantastic. The amount of both personal and physical growth that I have made over the past 2 months is astounding. I have learned so much about both myself and the yoga practice. My personal practice has been forever changed by these two individuals, and I can’t wait to see how I grow from here. I am forever grateful for Johnna, Tanner, and this amazing studio.

Completing my YTT 300HR at Y2 was more than I could have ever expected. The knowledge gained surpassed my expectations and gave me the confidence to become the teacher I am now.
