TESTIMONIALS
Trailhead Healing Arts is a wonderful studio full of loving, caring, and nurturing attitudes. The YTT program is structured to be truly authentic teaching of the Himalayan school of yoga. With a deep focus on meditation and pranayama, the basis of teaching yoga for health, wellness, and mindfulness will be learned.
MD, 2020 Graduate
The 200-hour teacher training program at Trailhead was the training I did not know I needed, but looking back, I realize it was more meaningful than I can likely put adequately into words. I am so extremely glad I listened to my intuition a year ago and signed up! I learned much more than I expected to about the history of yoga, anatomy and proper alignment, practical methods to meditate, Ayurveda, and my own self.
I am so incredibly grateful to Justina and the other visiting teachers who shared so much knowledge with our class. Whether or not you are looking to teach, you will gain a much deeper understanding of yourself through the introspective and illuminating coursework. The practical applications for all of the topics covered are incredibly informative in their own right – Although, at the end, you will likely want to share all your knowledge with others, just as I hope to do!
