What our post graduates think of our 200 hours YTT program

“I took the 200hr YTT program through Fusionmovement Yoga Studios in September of 2017. I graduated in March of 2018 and I have to say that I am absolutely thrilled with the training and what I took out of it. I couldn't have asked for more amazingly knowledgable teachers!! The training teachers are dedicated, kind-hearted, down-to-earth and truly have

your best interest at heart.  The course explored the history of yoga and yoga philosophy, breathe work, anatomy and proper alignment techniques, just to name a few aspects. The course also allowed students to open their minds and hearts to new ideas and ways of thinking. For anyone who is looking to gain knowledge on and bring the true meaning of yoga not only to your mat, but into your

daily life.....this beautiful course is for you!! I'm more than satisfied with the program, the beautiful friendships that I made and the knowledge that I have taken with me on my yoga journey, both as a student and a teacher”. Namaste, Erin R.

“Taking my yoga training at Fusionmovement Yoga Studio was one of the best decisions I've made. Natasja and Kate lead each training session with compassion and encouragement. The warm and welcoming atmosphere at the studio allows for open discussion and it has become my yoga home. I continue to take classes and training when I'm able. I had a great time and would recommend YTT there to someone even just looking to learn more about themselves.”. Joanne M.

“My YTT experience at Fusionmovement was a most transformative experience in my life. In the beginning, I had no idea what would be expected of me and now looking back, I can't believe how far I've come on my yoga journey. I graduated confident in my skills as a yoga teacher accepting all the awesome responsibility that title entails. At the same time, I am aware that I will always be a student of yoga. I am on a wonderful path that is not yet over. I will be forever grateful to All of my teachers at Fusionmovement for providing me with the skills to be a skilled yoga teacher”

Edie K.

“The YTT program at Fusionmovement Yoga Studio gave me a strong practical foundation for teaching yoga safely and effectively to all levels with an emphasis on intelligent sequencing and kramas. I appreciated that we had a lot of practice teaching to our peers and received ample feedback to better prepare us for teaching public classes. The course delved deeply into the spiritual and philosophical roots of Yoga which nourished the part of me that

wanted to seek out and deepen my understanding and appreciation of the practice beyond its physical branch. The studio has cultivated an incredible community of students, teachers and guests that are mutually interested in fostering healthy people and healthy communities with considerations to feeding the body, mind and soul. With an array of class offerings, informative workshops on various topics such as Ayurveda and understanding the Chakra System, sadhanas, kirtans and sound baths, Fusionmovement is an incredible place to learn, grow and connect both on and off the mat”.
