What People Are Saying...
"Learning to be a yoga teacher from Christa and Megan not only made me a better teacher, but it made me a better practitioner and person."
"Best decision ever! Learning to be a yoga teacher from Christa and Megan not only made me a better teacher, but it made me a better practitioner and person. They were both very encouraging, helpful, and kind! They pushed us to look deeper and to trust ourselves. Every training will be different, and every teacher is unique, but their teaching styles taught me to continue showing up as my authentic self. Besides the knowledge aspect, I think this quality, authenticity, is what makes a good teacher and good teaching program!"
