I just did my teacher training at Joschi so I was required to take 200 hours of yoga there and still I would go back in a second! The teacher training program there is great and affordable but if you're just looking to practice, i think the place is a real find in some ways. There's very little pretention, it looks more like a spa than a yoga studio. It's very homelike, people know each other. They have athletic, fitness influenced teachers and they have more spiritual teachers. All of whom are far above average in teaching skills. This is a place for people who like to flow, they all really move you. - Mattie H.

I have been practicing yoga for 5 years, at home and in numerous studios in my travels. I wanted to find a place that gave me a sense of comfortableness, similar to what I get from my home. When I came across Joschi Yoga Institute, the studio immediately became my home practice away from home. I love Joschi himself, Monika, and all the teachers that have been carefully placed by the studio. Their knowledge of teaching on all levels that each of them possess is amazing. I love the studio so much that I decided to attend the Yoga Teacher Training program this winter. Even if you do not want to become certified to teach, I recommend this training just to deepen your practice. I am amazed how much knowledge I have consumed by all the wonderful people who work for the studio, and how it has helped me with my asana's and mental well-being. - AnnMarie N.

From the very first moment I walked in to the Joschi Studio, I had a vibe I made the right decision by choosing this wonderful studio for my Teacher Training Program. I was very new to Yoga and did not know what to expect... Well, the Yoga I experienced at this studio was beyond all my expectations: every single teacher is outstanding and unique. I've got the real knowledge in Buddhism philosophy, opportunity to practice my teaching skills in different real life situations and finally unlimited free Yoga classes at the studio. It was my best learning experience ever! Thank you! - Katrina S.

Before the training I only heard great things about all of you and I soon made my own experience. As you know, I've had some 'difficult' times and without your reassurance and really positive outlook, I wouldn't have been where I am right now. You all are very caring, having only the best interest in us to succeed. I love the way you made us be ourselves and explore where we want to go! No judgment, no expectations, just be yourself. Thank you so much for this beautiful experience! - Raditia L.

Joschi Yoga Institute's 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program gives you all the skills, knowledge, experience and confidence to be a great, creative and compassionate teacher. Our Teacher Training will immerse you in all aspects of yoga and develops skills in the fundamentals and methodology of teaching yoga with an emphasis on vinyasa yoga. Our progressive, foundation-based approach will cover the fundamental postures and how to sequence the asanas in a fluid manner. It includes the basics of pranayama and meditation and how to incorporate them into your classes. Because of the physical nature of vinyasa, we will discuss anatomy/physiology and how it relates to poses, posture and alignment during class. We'll explore the philosophy and ethics of yoga as well as finding teaching opportunities after graduation and the business side of being a yoga teacher.

Joschi Yoga Institute's Teacher Training is limited to 17 students to ensure the quality of the program. All students will have ample opportunity to observe our highly trained, caring and experienced faculty teaching as well as practice teaching small groups.
