Common Roadblocks and Why They Shouldn't Hold you Back
What Past Graduates are Saying...
“This 200-hr program transformed my perception of what I’m capable of, as a practitioner, as a teacher, and simply as a human making her way through life.”– Katie Toussaint
“The Y2 Advanced Yoga Studies program was truly life changing. Many programs teach you a lot about yoga. However, the Y2 program is unparalleled in the knowledge and experience of its instructors in yoga philosophy, anatomy, and what it takes to be an amazing leader. I graduated with the knowledge and ability to lead a class that people will love and return to again and again. And more importantly, I learned so much about myself and how to be happy and follow my bliss. Thank you Tanner, Jen and Johnna!”-ML Stewart
“I really wanted to do Advanced Yoga Studies but I was scared to sign up because I had not been practicing yoga all that long and was afraid I wasn’t “good enough.” Y2 Advanced Yoga Studies has nothing to do with your skill in yoga, but your willingness to learn, your love for the practice, and a desire to grow. The best part about the program is the knowledge, support, and guidance we received from Johnna, Tanner and Jen — I can’t imagine doing a 200-hr anywhere other than Y2. It is the best thing I have ever done for myself.” -Pippi Gandy
“As a wife, a mother of three young kids and living two hours away made me question my motives for driving from Asheville to take yoga Advanced Yoga Studies at Y2. I chose that drive because a previous teacher had taken this course and I loved his style of teaching. After the first half day of class, I knew this was the best decision I had made for myself. It changed my life in ways I hadn’t expected. Not only did it enhance my yoga practice but it helped me gain a better appreciation of self love – it helped me learn how to share this passion with others and it pushed me to my limits. This was all because of Y2’s owner, teachers and other students. When you love what you do, it is obvious and this was evident throughout my time at Y2.” – Lynn Roberts
“Advanced Yoga Studies at Y2 Yoga was an unexpected journey of discovering me. I thought it would be about deepening my practice…I had no real plan to teach. But everything changed. I had to drop the person I thought I was supposed to be, to become who I was meant to be. As the first weekend of the course came to a close I thought, ‘that’s it, that was worth all of it’…and it was just the beginning.”– Dana Starensier
“Advanced Yoga Studies at Y2 is the best investment I have ever made in myself. I met the most amazing people who helped me deepen my practice and let go of my fears. This experience has given me the confidence to pursue my dreams of living a new life doing the things I love. I moved to the lowcountry and launched a website to sell my art and support the preservation of the marsh.” – Janet Johnson
“This program was one of the best experiences of my life. Tanner is a gifted teacher with a wealth of knowledge in anatomy and sequencing. He is fierce and passionate – one of the most authentic people I’ve ever known. Johnna has the biggest, most beautiful spirit. She’ll wring you out, lift you up and embrace you just as you are.” – Janaki Gooty
