Yoga Teacher Training
“Alex (21st Century Yoga on the Mat) does an amazing job providing his students with massive amounts of content, available through books, videos, and additional optional content during and after you have completed your training. This provided me not only the foundation, but the ability to grow as I develop as a teacher. He brings context to difficult topics, allowing for open discussion, demonstrations, and examples. He allows his students to understand the wide range of tools in our toolbox. As new teachers, we have a lot to draw upon. Alex also provided us with various teachers to gain additional knowledge and approaches to our yoga centered life. ”
