What is YTT and why 200 hours

Completed the 200 hour at Yoga Dojo. Was on the fence about it around 5 years ago, but wanted to deepen my practice. Changed careers and found the time. Absolutely worth it on a personal level. Yoga Dojo's new studio is beautiful and comfortable. The vibe is a little less "woo woo" and more "normal people" if that means anything. Some of the folks I met during training and practice at the dojo are now among my closest friends. Lauren and Adrian run an awesome studio that will help motivate you to become both a better yogi and a great teacher. Aside from the instructor and classmates' high level of practice and empathy, they also consistently bring in world class traveling teachers. When I did my YTT they had Henry Winslow (He "won" yoga that year at the world yoga asana championships. His attention to detail in cuing is incredible), a Cirque De Soleil performer, and i think Kristen Leal who wrote Meta Anatomy as guest teachers. I only taught for a short while before the pandemic hit, but the experience as a whole was very rewarding. Feel free to PM any questions, but your best bet is to pick up a 3 class pass and take a few of Adrian and Lauren's classes to see if you like what they've got going on. Good luck!

thank you so much for the detailed review! i’ve def had my eyes on The Yoga Dojo and am waiting for them to release summer 2023 details. I decided to take a gap year between undergrad and grad school, and do YTT in the meantime as i feel like that’s my calling. definitely might PM you as I’m curious about your experience !

They already started their spring training and they said on their Instagram that it will be the only training they do this year :(
