TEACHER TRAINING TESTIMONIALS

“I highly recommend Joy of Yoga/Wildwood yoga for teacher training. There is so much more to learn outside of traditional asana yoga and with Joy and Jill, I believe they are the whole package. We learned more than I could have ever imagined and I am forever grateful to have crossed paths with not only these amazing instructors, but the incredible classmates that joined me. Anu was an added bonus that I will always cherish!”

“My experience going through YTT with Joy of Yoga and Wildwood Yoga was so much more than I imagined it to be. Joy and Jill are both extremely knowledgeable about the philosophy, history and the anatomy of yoga, and are very passionate about it. Their yoga love seeps through in their teaching. These women taught me so so so much more than proper alignment in an asana, they taught me how to be a more present, attentive and joyous person! The skills I have learned on and off the mat are so invaluable to me. I could not recommend this training enough honestly, I would do it all over again if I could.”

“This training truly changed my life! Unlike other trainings, this one is centered over 6 months allowing you to experience a dedication to yoga through the seasons of life and our environment. The variety of teachings from yoga philosophy, anatomy, asana, pranayama, and centering around building a meditation practice is unique! If offered, I would take additional trainings at Joy of Yoga.”

“Joy of Yoga Teacher Training was a life changing experience for me. It was a space not only to learn about yoga, the history of yoga and anatomy, but also a place to connect with people who I hold dear to my heart. The curriculum was outstanding, the instructors Joy Page and Jill Dunlap were easy to work with, smart and had incredible knowledge through their many years of yoga and teaching experiences to make me feel confident and prepared when we completed the program. In addition to classroom time, they offered experiences outside of the classroom that furthered our education. From the beautiful music we had every Sunday from the lovely Anu French who would play her harmonium for us to the thoughtful gifts such as Malabeads we received when we graduated, this Teacher Training was beyond what I could have ever imagined. Whether you want to further your own practice or become a teacher, this program will benefit you and change your life for the better. Highly recommend this beautiful Teacher Training by Joy and Jill.”

“I most enjoyed the space, time and energy Joy and Jill provided for us to learn, grow and ask questions. We were encouraged to participate at every level in this process. As I reflect upon this incredible program and experience, I realize now that every time we got together (in person or online) my mind was expanding, my body was moving energy, and my spirit got more and more thirsty. Joy and Jill both inspired me to look inward, try new ways of thinking and moving, and continue this journey of self development for a lifetime. I am forever grateful to have ended up with these 2 incredible teachers. They are doing life-changing work in this world and I'm glad to have benefited by completing this program. Thank you, Joy and Jill.”
