There was no better time than now to pursue my dream of becoming a yoga teacher. I took the leap as a way to remember my importance and value through a third round of fertility treatments. Even with the most fantastic supports, sometimes life is...HARD! I am beyond grateful to have both dreams come true; an active baby on the way and a yogi certification! And my toddler mastered downdog on command so I am over the moon! COVID has taken a lot away from us right now, but what it has provided is the opportunity to virtually train under some of the most profound and innovative yoga experts today, @stacydockins and @davedockins of @theyogaprojectstudios. Thank you so much!

"In 2014, I moved to Texas after living in California my whole life. I felt very much alone and could not find my normal outlets easily as I did back home. I stumbled upon The Yoga Project in Mansfield and felt right at home, a place that would be my home away from home about 4x a week, until circumstances lead me to return back to California a year later. The Yoga Project always kept a warm place in my heart. When I learned that COVID took their teacher training online, I jumped to the opportunity to return back to this space (virtually).

I had been very picky with the training I wanted to take and knew that training with the Yoga Project was going to give me the knowledge that I wanted to pass on to my students. Training with Stacy and Dave has been such a great experience, they are both so knowledgeable and encouraging. This training was not easy, a real growth experience for me, and I felt so supported by both my trainers, and fellow trainees. Stacy and Dave will give you an experience unlike others, giving you full anatomy knowledge, while supporting and guiding you along the way. Thanks again Yoga Project, happy to be part of the family."

I am so thankful for The Yoga Project 200Hr Teacher Training experience and for Dave and Stacy’s leadership and guidance throughout. This has been such a growth period for me with everything going on and I feel like this learning helped me to focus my intentions and give me hope. Having been a member of Yoga Project for over 8 years, I feel privileged to go through this teacher training from Dave and Stacy and feel like my training has extended for far longer than just these few months. All I have learned from them over the past eight years, I know I can utilize to bring the joy and peace of yoga to others. Both Dave and Stacy were always quick to respond and give meaningful feedback, I was able to practice my teaching techniques with those I love, and the modules were incredibly rich with necessary materials like mindfulness exercises, readings from Embodied Posture, and Yamas and Niyamas. This training has certainly equipped me for my future personal practice as well as guiding others through their yoga journeys.

The Yoga Project Yoga Teacher Training is truly transformational. The academic rigor paired with the lessons, group chats, and practical teaching applications is just the right balance of challenging and fun. I got so much out of this program including new knowledge, experience, and friends from around the country. The virtual nature of the class does not inhibit the experience at all. The diversity of the students and flexibility of the remote program really lended themselves to an amazing learning experience. I highly recommend this program!

I absolutely love this program. This past year has been hard on all of us and we all have had to adapt some way or another. Taking a Yoga Project’s virtual yoga workshop has been my grounding in a hectic time. I loved how dedicated consistent classes were and our meetings. I really enjoyed being in zoom classes with other students and sharing our experiences in a safe place.

The way that the program was ran of just building off of the previous step made it super easy to learn but also gave me confidence in what I was doing. My favorite part was the book assignment (Yamas and Niyamas) for meditation and reflection. Yoga was not all about how to get in and out of poses but we were taught the mindset to go with it. We were told to think, talk, and discuss and not just follow a certain way. Those assignments and reading my peers assignments helped me through the year tremendously.

As a fitness instructor I leave out the Embodied Posture book and refer to it for more than yoga. Stacy and Dave did a wonderful job of illustrating and explaining the human body and how it moves through space. So grateful for this opportunity.

It was such a joy to be a part of this teaching program. I truly enjoyed learning more about myself, others, mindfulness and the practice in its entirety. I feel so much gratitude for being able to learn from Stacy and Dave and take this course with so many talented individuals. Thank you Stacy and Dave for your time, energy and support and to everyone else thank you for the feedback, your instruction and sharing your view on the practice and world with me.
