Lifted Lotus Yoga Teacher Training Reviews
See What Our Students Are Saying
"My 200-hour yoga teacher training expereince was transformative. I appreciated the depth of knowledge and sharing of wisdom. The training was very comprehensive and I felt confident teaching yoga at the end. Now I am teaching in my own yoga studio and rely on the continuing education courses at Lifted Lotus to continue growing and serving my local community."

200 Hour Graduate
"I chose Steph's 500 hour training because we share a background as mental health counselors. I am so grateful that I did because this training has enabled me to integrate yoga and mindfulness techniques into my practice as a mental health counselor. I especially appreciated the module on trauma sensitive yoga and all that I learned about nervous system regulation. Learning so many modifications for yoga poses has helped me to teach people of all backgrounds and capabilities. I highly recommend this yoga teacher training."
