Yoga teacher training has been such a profound and unique experience for me! I’ve become more confident and connected to myself spiritually, energetically and mentally, while strengthening and deepening my Asana practice. I felt safe to be vulnerable in the container that our teachers Claire, Daniel, Nina, and Micki created for our group. Their approach to yoga teacher training is taught in such a way that is relevant and easily applied to modern everyday life

Rising Lotus is a gem. The atmosphere, feeling of community and quality of classes is top notch. Their yoga teacher training was an incredible experience ... .it is truly the Ivy League of trainings. Claire is a passionate pioneer in the anatomical science of the body and how it relates to yoga poses. Daniel, with his psychotherapy practice and warm- heartedness, is the perfect person to learn from in the area of yogic philosophy. It was a beautiful bonding experience, a deep dive into one’s body and soul, set in a safe and welcoming space. I cannot recommend it enough

Rising Lotus Yoga's Teacher Training program is nothing short of transformative. The instructors offer a perfect balance of wisdom, compassion, and deep-rooted knowledge that creates a truly supportive and inspiring environment. Every session felt intentional and grounded in tradition, yet totally accessible and empowering. I walked away not just with the tools to teach, but with a stronger sense of self and a lifelong connection to the practice

The teacher training has not only changed my yoga practice, but it has changed my life. Thank you, RLY!!!! I’m forever grateful.

I found Rising Lotus through one of my yoga teachers that has over 30 years of experience. I was considering doing my teacher training at a different place but she urged me to take a class at RLY. It was by leaps and bounds it was the right decision and I now urge you to do the same :). Namaste.

Everyone told me that the Teacher Training at RLY would change my life and boy were they telling the truth! The combination of the leadership and the expertise of Claire and Daniel has been an extraordinary growth experience. Claire's emphasis on alignment and core strength in yoga practice with the NKT specialized focus has improved my understanding of the importance of proper execution for life long longevity of yoga practice and has improved my personal practice exponentially. Claire ensures that we trainees can confidently teach and explain the how and why of the poses and the alignment so that our teaching will lead others to success in their practice without injury. Daniel's deep love for and ability to teach and develop our respect and knowledge of the roots and the tools of yoga have given me a wonderful foundation to move through life, and yoga practice, at the edge of the heat with the ability to rest in what is here, now, reflect, revive and renew moving forward with joy and respect for the process. And, just when you think that's it, you get the added bonus of Nina and Micki who are outstanding in their practices and their teachings of Yoga!.. I come to RLY for class and I will go forth in my own yoga teaching knowing that I have been trained by the absolute best in the business! SO MUCH GRATITUDE!

Attending the yoga teacher training was a transformative experience, thanks to the incredible guidance and support of our four instructors. Claire was both tough and kind, guiding us through the entire journey with a firm yet gentle hand. Her dedication ensured that we were always supported and motivated. Daniel’s Sunday classes were a highlight of the week. His sessions, especially the chanting, were something I eagerly looked forward to. His caring nature made these classes truly special. Nina was the reason I chose this program. Her kind soul and gentle demeanor created a nurturing environment that made learning a joy. Micki was an exceptional teacher. Her expertise and passion for yoga were evident in every class. This training will not only open new doors for you but also make you a part of a wonderful community. You'll feel like you've joined a new family. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and connect with like-minded individuals

At Rising Lotus Yoga I have found the community of loving, supportive & good people I thought might not exist! They strive to do things right around here including yoga.I just finished my 200 hour yoga teacher training & it has changed my life in too many ways to list. Grateful for these people & this studio.

My experience of the teacher training program was truly life changing. I met so many wonderful people and have a new community of truth seekers. The science of yoga is now in my being. Thank you Rising Lotus

The Rising Lotus TeacherTrainer program was anexciting, transformative, enjoyable, and deepening experience of my heart, mind, and soul. My life and practice have become one... a journey on the yogi path filled with awareness and gratitude.  Much appreciation to Daniel and Claire who taught with so much wisdom, integrity, and great care.

It's a life-changing experience! The program is incredibly comprehensive covering the history, tradition, language, philosophy, anatomy, and asanas in such depth it will so much deepen and expand your knowledge and relationship with yoga and yourself. And through it all, you will make an incredible circle of yogi friends. Do it!

Teacher Training at Rising Lotus has been transformational for my practice. I joined teacher training the day before it started and it was a quick decision. I had taken Claire's class for the first time that morning, and decided to join right away. It ended up being one of the best decisions and most important sources of joy, community, and grounding I'd said yes to in 2022.  I'm so grateful to have met all of the yogis in my class, and to be part of such a supportive community. Together we learned everything from alignment and anatomy to philosophy and giving dharma talks. As a philosophy nerd, this was such a FUN part of the teacher training process. There were so many things to gain in this experience, whether it was emotional, physical, spiritual; everyone had a unique experience that benefited them. Claire makes a wonderful teacher and leader. She gives you the tools and confidence to take care of your body and others, while also  preparing you to teach. Couldn't recommend more, and it's fun!

I have been a part of Rising Lotus Family for the past 12 years. It got me through 3 career changes, 2 breakups and raising 2 kids now teens. In 2008, I completed their inaugural certified yoga teacher training program, which gave me the skills and knowledge that I apply in my personal and professional life. It has been one of the constant support and force in my life and I can not imagine my life without it. Thank you RLY. I am forever your humble student.

When I decided to explore my practice by enrolling in the training program, I did not realize that I would get a front row seat on what yoga is and is not about, and pandemics/lockdown we all experienced put that into overdrive! Every journey is personal and in some ways it has taken me right back where I should’ve look in the first place: myself : ) The pandemic is a blessing and a curse.I think it all balances because the entire program is one of the supports I had during the lockdown and it kept me focusing on finishing. Claire and Daniel, you both bring your years of experience, knowledge and passion into the program to help us as students confront what contracts us so that we can use our own experience to feel comfortable teaching yoga. What rocked my world? That I found my passion for animation again. I have made some amazing friends and mentors. My connection with my family has deepened. That was one of my original intentions from the beginning! Thank you

The teacher training at Rising Lotus Yoga gave me many gifts. I appreciate the knowledge and inspiration that I gained from the experienced teachers, the course content, and the other students. The teacher training brought personal growth, sparked courage and strength, as well as , gifting valuable friendships with the other students and the teachers. I am grateful for the accomplishment of the coursework, the physical practice/the observation of the asanas, the inner work and consciousness through philosophical discussions, and the thorough preparation to teach yoga.

Ohhhhh my goodnesssss! This studio changed my life! I did the 200hr yoga teacher training. Claire is incredible with anatomy and I was actually interested in what she was teaching and how she teaches. It’s so informative and completely changed my body, my posture and my breathing!!!! My life is different. I feel so empowered to teach yoga and to bring a new approach of biomechanics and breath to the yoga industry and the wellness scene. Thank you to Daniel and Claire both for bringing th most powerful and practical YTT I could have ever dreamed of. Wildly transformative and totally what I needed to ground me deeply into my root chakra. If you’re thinking about a 200 hr this is honestly the place to do it!!! I love you guys! LETS GOO RISING LOTUS!
