YOGA TEACHER TRAINEE TESTIMONIALS

“The community that all the teachers at PYP cultivate is amazing and inspiring. There are super knowledgeable teachers who come for specific topics (Jen for anatomy, Mae for queer ahimsa, for example). The whole experience was enlightening and fun and the perfect amount of challenging.”
— Alex (YTT Graduate)
“Completing my YTT at Portland Yoga Project was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I loved learning from amazing people, with amazing people. The content was endlessly fascinating and felt like keys and maps for how I hope to keep growing and healing and showing up. The space was welcoming and accepting and has set the standard for how I want to feel in the community.
It has been the gift that keeps on giving!!”
— Maya Balassa (YTT Graduate)
“Not to sound cliche, but PYP YTT 2023 was truly a life changing experience for me. I have been practicing yoga off and on for over a decade and had always wanted to jump into teacher training. Fortuitously, on a night in late December 2022, literally less than a week before the training was supposed to start, I stumbled across the PYP YTT online. Having never stepped inside PYP, this could have seemed like a pretty big risk, but immediately upon communicating with Elizabeth, I knew I had picked the right place.
PYP YTT gave me the space to learn, grow and pursue something that was so truly me at a time in my life when I had been choosing everyone and everything but me. PYP and my YTT cohort have taken up a centrally important place in my heart, impacting and changing me in ways that are truly indescribable. I wish I had the words to express my gratitude for these people. But, if you’re looking for a community that makes you want to drive two hours after a shift in Boston to take a class that your fellow YTT graduate is teaching (I’ve done it!), you’ve found the right place, just as I have.”
