"I cannot speak more highly of my experience during the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) . The depth and breadth of knowledge shared by instructor Amanda Gloria Valdes was truly unmatched. Her instruction was authentic and firmly rooted in yoga philosophy, while simultaneously integrating crucial awareness regarding social inequities and the use of trauma-informed language. The training was thorough and meticulous, and their passion was evident in every session, from lectures to asana clinics. This was a transformative experience, and I am deeply grateful for their expert guidance and the strong community fostered during the program."

"Amanda clearly put in a ton of work into creating this course and I was honored to be a part of this first offering. We had a diverse group of students and I loved hearing from every person. I gained so much knowledge and I'm excited to use these pre-natal yoga skills to better my community and truly be able to support everyone. Thanks Amanda!"
