My experience with Modern Yoga’s RYT 200 training program was excellent. The instructors are truly invested in every students journey and do their best to tailor the schedule around our busy lives. The principles, safety, anatomy and philosophy were all relayed very clearly. With my completion of this program, I feel confident in my new role as a yoga teacher.
