Testimonials

"The Well Studio YTT program is top notch. Stacy McGinty along with the team of teachers and guest speakers all come together to provide students with a well rounded knowledge of yoga, as well as a safe space to learn and grow in your own practice. By the time you graduate, you will be amazed at your growth, both on and off your mat. It will change you in the best way possible. If you have ever considered learning more about yoga, whether you desire to teach or not, I highly recommend investing in yourself and signing up for this program.”
"My experience at the inaugural Well Studio teaching training 2024 transformed everything I thought I knew about yoga. I felt like I was immersed in the practice from day one and felt that the pace of the hybrid layout over 7 months gave me the time needed to develop my confidence to teach this practice. It really helped me to deepen my own yoga practice and gave me a comprehensive understanding, including the basic anatomy, of the many branches of yoga philosophy as well as the various styles. I always felt supported by all my instructors and colleagues which gave me the assurance I needed to develop and plan my own class. You definitely graduate feeling like you have the tools to start teaching immediately."
