“What I loved about the AYC teacher training is what at time frustrated me the most. It is the diversity of teachers and styled and how nothing is black and white but so very gray the way my life is. The vast knowledge and the ability to impart this to the students was awe inspiring. Every teacher had their own unique gifts and were so consistently professional, caring, goal oriented, and personable. I will definitely miss this experience as I have made so many new friends and learned so much about my passion of yoga and myself and human nature in general. Thank you Stephanie for an outstanding and for your many outstanding gifts you so freely give.”
“I started this program with the thought that I was on a new path and that this program was one of the stepping stones on the path. It has been much much more than that. It is part of a greater plan, but the program really helped define and clarify the path for me. My path is still winding and I don’t quite see the end but it is well illuminated and thanks to what I learned I am not so fixated on the end results as I am on the process. I look forward to furthering my studies with you and enjoy what I have learned so far. Thanks for sharing!”

“I just wanted to tell you thank you. Thank you for offering me a scholarship and making it affordable so that I was able to take part in the program. It changed my life. I truly mean that. I am a totally different person now than I was when I started the program. The entire teacher training was so enjoyable and I learned so much from it. It was one of the best things that I have ever done for myself (and my family) in my life.”
With sincere thanks…

“This teacher training was an incredible experience. We were introduced to so many of the different aspects of yoga. I liked the variety of teaching personalities that were part of out training. My main suggestion would be to have some type of mentoring system. I know, especially after seeing your life first hand as a cleaning lady that this would be impossible for you to take on, however I felt a need for more guidance, nurturing, and butt kicking in my own process and relationship to yoga. Maybe different core teachers could be paired with students to spread the load. I also know that ultimately the responsibility for nurturing, guidance, and butt kicking is on ourselves, and huge growth comes from this independence, however maybe because of the place in my life I have been in these past 9 months, I felt a desire for a yoga teacher mentor within this program.”
“Your teacher training was great! For someone who hasn’t been anywhere near academics, I think I have really learned a lot yoga and otherwise. I enjoyed coming here every month, even though it took away from my normal (everyday) life which I have become accustomed to. I realize there is always more to learn, but I think a lot of knowledge has been picked up here. Hope our paths cross and you can see me and be proud of you and of me. Namaste.”
