Testimonials

"The 200 hour YTT is a must - but only if you want to know, love, strengthen yourself, and open your heart to yourself and others like you've never done before. In addition to that, you will be taught a well-rounded program in an ethical, safe, comfortable environment that will prepare you to teach Yoga in a way that will keep your students safe and inspired. I have been a psychotherapist and an artist for many decades and I know of what I speak. Linda, Brett, and the staff of yoga teachers that you will get to experience are excellent and caring. I highly recommend this program." ... Gail Lois Jaffe-Satuloff, RYT, Fall '08

"I registered for YTT because I wanted to earn a substantial yoga certification from a well-respected yoga establishment. I also wanted to deepen my understanding and personal practice of yoga. Well, I am happy to say I received both, especially the latter. Throughout our 9-weekend journey together, my fellow teachers-in-training and I learned so much more than yoga postures and how to structure and conduct a class - though we did learn those very well. I learned so many life lessons and had many important personal breakthroughs that have greatly increased my quality of life. Like many things, if you put a lot of effort into yoga teacher training at the Yoga Center, you will seemingly receive so much more in return, some of which you didn't even know you needed until you went through the process." ... Mike Paul, Fall ' 08

"Being a Yoga practitioner for many years, I never really thought of teaching Yoga. While in a class in July, it was brought to my attention that there would be a Fall program. I immediately found myself wanting to be a part of this, not just to learn more postures correctly, but to really learn and understand the philosophy and theory as well. I can only say, with great pleasure, that it has been one of the best decisions I have made in many years. The curriculum not only covered all areas with detail, but Linda Morse puts all of herself into this with a deep love and affection for what she knows and wants her students to take with them on their journey! My Hat's off to you Linda! And a "Big Thank You" for your knowledge, and the invitation to teach me how to "Drop Inside"! Namaste' and Blessings!" ... Biddy Lamb, Fall '08

"Getting certified at the Yoga Center with Linda was a deeply enriching experience, personally and as a teacher. I cherish Friday night at the chakras and the sharing circles. My teaching has flourished with my self concept as a vessel, teaching from the heart, guiding me. My students have encouraged me to use my newfound skills at physically assisting them with attention to their safety and benefit. They love it! I continue to grow more skillful in assists, with the confidence to do them that I gained through training with Linda and the yoginis in the class. Peer assessment of one another's' repertoire of poses was gratifying and helpful. After 25 years of practicing and then 6 years of teaching uncertified, I feel prepared to guide students with a wide range of abilities. Our practice together is itself a meditation on compassion that we joyfully share. Thank you for opening up so much more on our journey" ... Judy Mathys, Spring '08

"I've always loved yoga and the euphoric feelings I had after a class. In the past yoga classes have helped me move on from some stressful situations that were happening in my life at that time. Until I took YTT from Linda, I couldn't grasp the concept and reverence of Om or Namaste'. Through Linda's compassion and patience while studying and learning the ancient wisdom of the yogis helped me understand and appreciate the depth of yoga. YTT was more than learning how to guide students in the yoga postures (asanas), it was an awakening to "self". YTT at the Yoga Center was the beginning of a new and wonderful journey for me. Thank you Linda! Namaste'" ... Marilyn Hallock - age 67, Spring '08
