I was delighted to have done my 200 hour yoga teaching training with The Living Soul Institute. What I enjoyed about it was the balance of real rigour – I really felt like I was being taught how to be a good teacher; but also the way that Kristin delivered it to us in bite-sized pieces so that we never felt overwhelmed.  We went through all the basics and built up from there.  Kristin was very inspirational in the way she led the sessions and also in the personal care she had for each of us. She was so encouraging and available for individual attention when we needed it.  She had also lined up an amazing set of external teachers who were able to build up our understanding of different aspects of yoga.  I would highly recommend this training for anyone who is thinking about getting further into yoga.

I came into the Living Soul YTT with 7 years of part-time teaching experience and was looking to expand her teaching knowledge and skill, as well as develop a more integrated personal practice. “Learning from such a highly experienced teacher in both secular and faith-based settings was important to me, and the quality of the content; instruction exceeded my expectations. I especially appreciated the in-depth look at the historical timeline of the evolving yoga tradition and the influences along the way; the balanced; discerning study of the nuanced energetic body & chakra theory from a Christian worldview, and the twice-weekly live classes that included ample time for through instruction, discussion and a variety of experiential breathwork exercises and contemplative practices. The guest teachers were all excellent as well. The live weekly vinyasa flow was exceptional and a perfect way to integrate all that was learned along the way. What was most transformative in my own teaching and personal practice was the thorough embodied faith approach to the yoga. The course content provided enough instruction to offer yin, restorative, and trauma-informed classes; and offered an in-depth experience of determining our unique yoga teacher voice, vision, and calling, as well as practical business mentoring. Kristin is a gifted, creative; skilled yoga teacher, an excellent communicator, and has a great sense of humor! Classes were fun, engaging, relational, and always a highlight of my week. She was fully available throughout the program with quick responses to questions and ongoing support. She has created an exceptional program & experience that left me feeling fully equipped to teach with excellence and personally transformed my yoga practice and relationship with God. I am honored to give the Living Soul 200-hr YTT my highest recommendation!

The Living Soul 200 hr. Yoga TT was better than I could have imagined! It was completely engaging . Kristin is a truly gifted teacher, and an encourager. This experience has equipped me to begin teaching with confidence. As a student, I was introduced to much more than philosophy and practical knowledge as various teachers taught about specialized areas. It was extremely helpful to have personal input from Kristin throughout the process. She has a hands & heart on approach, and really cares about everyone’s success. This training will be with me for life as a great foundation for practicing and teaching.

What I loved most about 200 training was the immersion training, getting to actually practice and learn from someone who is very qualified in her teaching, being able to make some great friends, and doing what I thought could not be done. I also loved how Kristin helped/trained us in our speciality areas to be able to go out and fulfill our dreams.
