“If there is even one iota of your being pondering whether or not to take the teacher training with Sarah Sol, then take a leap and do it!!! I have never been through a program that is not only so thorough in teaching asana, anatomy, how to sequence a class, the history and tradition of yoga and so much more but also blows your own heart so wide open that you are a new person after the program is over. Sarah is amazing. She's patient, empathetic, so extremely knowledgeable and one of the best teachers I have ever encountered. The training will turn your practice upside down, shake it out and become so strong you will wonder what you were even doing before. I so highly recommend the training and Sarah Sol.”
