"Authentic teacher, intimate settings, flexible learning environments with individual guidance. Practicing what we were learning along the way, and great encouragement and support at every step of learning."

"Shawna got me teaching right away which was a game changer. She helped me feel confident and guide me far after graduation. She really cares + was my teacher far after our training and far after I paid for the training. She really just cares about helping you and the world."

"The internship was one of my favorite memories. I got connected with students and really made a difference in people's lives. This gave me purpose + improved my health."

"If you have the opportunity to take her internship I highly recommend it as this helped a lot in my teaching and taught me a lot about cueing, general communication and professionalism. Personally I am grateful to have taken this training with Shawna and am happy to recommend her to any friends interested in starting the yoga teaching journey or anyone looking to deepen their own practice. Thank you so much Shawna and I hope I see her soon in another course!"
