Ana Feijoo
Alumni of the 200h YTT 2023
I recently completed the teacher training program at Yoga on the Move, and I must say that it was a life-changing experience. From day one, it was evident that this program was designed with a deep understanding of yoga philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodologies. The instructors were not only highly knowledgeable but also deeply passionate about their subject matter. They created a nurturing and supportive environment, allowing us to grow both as individuals and as future yoga instructors. The curriculum was comprehensive and well-structured, covering everything from the history and philosophy of yoga to practical teaching skills and ethics. The blend of theory, practice, and self-reflection made for a well-rounded learning experience.
Jenny Trinh
Alumni of the 50h YACEP 2021
After having completed my first 200h teacher training in Ashtanga Yoga the 50h training with Leonie & Marlene gave me a lot of much needed clarity and structure to sequence Vinyasa Yoga classes. The training with Yoga on the Move really helped me to find my voice as a Yoga teacher and I can now teach with much more intention. I am truly grateful for this experience and absolutely recommend.
