What Our Graduates Say...
Katie M, 2024 Winter Graduate
"Yoga Via provides a well-rounded teacher training program. The teachers truly are heart centered, and they complement each other so well. I’ve received amazing mentorship, and I feel I can go to my teachers anytime in the future with questions, etc. I learned a lot, and it felt like a balanced program between asana practice, lecture, reading, discussion, etc. I went into my training not wanting to teach and just to deepen my knowledge. I graduated excited about teaching, and I know it’s because of how well this program prepared me. I highly recommend this school to anyone considering."
