Don't Just take our word for it

"I went into YTT at Om Yoga wanting to learn more about yoga and to strengthen my own personal practice. I wasn't sure if I actually wanted to teach when I was done, but I knew this was an experience I absolutely wanted for myself.  Jackie and Rachel were incredible, they each bring so much to the table, and their different strengths made for such a well-rounded YTT experience.  I gained knowledge in the history of yoga, the philosophies of yoga, anatomy, safe sequencing, assisting, and so much more.  I went into the experience-thinking it would be an in-depth study of yoga, and although it was that, it was far more...it was an in-depth study of self.  It created time, space, and accountability to explore yoga, meditation, philosophy, and to really know myself and make decisions to more fully experience my own life.  Not only did I get to know myself better, but I formed incredible relationships with the people in my cohort.  It was an intimate, honest environment that allowed for true connection. I left training prepared and confident to teach (and audition) at Om Yoga. YTT has forever changed my life and further deepened my love for yoga."

"The YTT training that Jackie Dominas and Rachael Lary led was an amazing 5-month experience filled with learning, meditation, and a deeply connected community embarking on a powerful journey together. Throughout the training, they encouraged us to challenge new and old concepts, ask why, and be authentic in our teaching. They had us practice-teach each other starting day one, which helped us apply what we were learning and build our confidence along the way. Yoga has so many layers, and they did a great job of teaching us the key aspects, including its rich history, the spiritual/energetic side, and the physical aspects of yoga to support all body types. Going into this experience, I wasn’t sure if I was going to teach, but by the end I felt knowledgeable and confident enough to lead others. The experience was life changing for me as an individual, and it created lasting friendships with an amazing group of people."

"I feel like I can actually teach real humans yoga!!! That is so darn cool. I have a long way to go, and I will always be growing and learning and improving... but the fact that I can actually offer humans a guided yoga, meditation, breathwork session, and feel authentic in that, is so AMAZING and EXCITING. I feel like so many things that I have spent money on in the past do not actually leave me feeling at the end like I am actually ready to do the thing... so that is truly incredible, and such a testament to our ROCKSTAR TEACHERS!!! I didn’t anticipate the challenge of this program but I also hadn’t anticipated the growth. I could not be more grateful for the way that this training and our facilitators set this program up so that we could actually come out the other side feeling successful in receiving the knowledge that we came for, successful and confident in teaching. From day one we were being pushed up against our edge in the most loving and supportive way possible, so that we could see the fruits of our growth on the other side. What a gift!"
