I was overwhelmed in producing my first teacher training manual and couldn’t believe the training information I found on Yoga Teacher Central.
It made my first 200Hr Teacher Training so much easier as I was looking to align with Yoga Alliance for a 200hr Registered Yoga School.
I have also used the Advanced 300hr material and just completed my first 300Hr Teacher Training. All the teachers complimented me on the material for the manuals.
One of my teachers is from India and she can’t believe the advanced material Yoga Teacher Central provides. She says it is excellent.
Thank you so much Shelly/Yoga Teacher Central for your excellent material for Teacher Trainings. I couldn’t have done it without you!

Om Setrid, Njardvik, Iceland
While my original intention was to access resources to prepare for a YTT, I have been using your site daily for self study and to level up my own knowledge/teaching. I’ve (only) been teaching for 7 years and even though it’s something I do everyday, the more I learn, the more I realize just how little I know.
Everyday, I learn something new and it makes me feel more confident teaching my classes safely. I just keep going further and further down the rabbit hole! I really appreciate you and the invaluable resources you’ve made accessible to me and the yoga community at large. I am already a better teacher for it. Thank you.
Namaskar Yoga Studio, Parksville, British Columbia, Canada
I am so happy to advise that today we completed our first Yoga Teachers Training and believe that some of our students will certainly be joining you soon. After putting this together with your lessons, I feel so proud of the outcomes of our students. What you offer is brilliant and I hope your numbers just keep growing not only for the tremendous outcomes of teachers at the other end but for all your efforts and ongoing updates. Thank you.
Zen Buddhist & Yoga Retreat, Queensland, Australia
I just wanted to express how fabulous all of your resources are! There’s such a wide range of content, knowledge and inspiration – I really find it so helpful and if I need to know something you are my ‘go-to’ resource.
I really love the self assessments – great in helping identify gaps and inspire the direction for my development, and the anatomy course you’ve referred to is a really well structured resource. Thanks for all that you do – it’s very much appreciated.
Radiance Yoga, Cambridgeshire, UK
I have a manual for my 200hr YTT and wanted to add more information and structure it differently, but I was getting overwhelmed with the project. I found your website and was so surprised at the amount of information and knowledge that it made me smile so hard and it is absolutely worth what I paid. The amount of work and research your team has put into this base is amazing and needed so THANK YOU for making my life easier. What would’ve taken me so long to put together, now I feel confident I can put together in a week. What also makes it so good is that you have also allowed me to edit, reprint and distribute without the hassle of copyright issues. This to me is priceless! So sincerely thank you and I am glad I invested in your products!

Philadelphia, PA, USA
I absolutely love your site; there is so much information. We are working on our student guide for our 200 hour teacher training program and I have suggested our students sign up for your membership to get amazing sequences, alignment or variations, videos, materials for workshops and much much more. I started using the site for the Ayurveda content. It is so amazing and thorough. The usability is so easy and perfect.
Hapa Yoga, California, USA
I’ve been teaching for 5 years and found YTC when I began teaching. It helped me so much in varying my classes and in finding resources. Today, it remains my go-to for class planning; I especially like the seasonal and moon themes and use them often throughout the year. YTC is absolutely invaluable for yoga teachers.
Alignment-Oriented & Specialty Yoga, Virginia, USA
I think your website and all the information available is brilliant! I love that you include what is relevant for northern and southern hemispheres. I continue to be dazzled by the amount of really helpful information on your site.

Yoga Teacher Central is an invaluable wealth of information for yoga teachers and trainers. Here in France, we are using your Training Manual lessons for our teacher training manuals. The pictures of asanas are helpful for our slide presentations and the students love them. I appreciate working with such a good website. This is a tremendous help. Many thanks to the dedicated team of Yoga Teacher Central.

I continue to use your website for my weekly teachings – it’s just such a wonderful concentrated area of information and so, so inspiring!
Soaring Hearts Yoga, Fillmore, California, USA
I just became a RYT200 and am finding that writing my lessons and trying to sequence properly is my biggest challenge. That is why your website has been so amazing. I find it so helpful! It seemed like we just touched upon sequencing and class planning right before graduation, but it just scratched the surface. I truly am grateful for this tool. It has so much information that I can use to create lessons and learn more about my practice… while saving me valuable time trying to find it on my own, like I was doing before I discovered your site! Thanks again.
Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada
Just wanted to thank you for this incredible resource. I really appreciate all the information. I love the theming / holidays, description links, and weekly yoga plans. I am very excited to use this. Thanks for your service. I had a great interview with a studio owner and she just offered me two classes on Saturday! I have been researching YTC everyday and it has been more than helpful. Now, I’m really excited to put it to good use since I will be teaching regularly on the weekends. Thanks! It’s such a great resource.
Radha Yoga, Los Angeles, California, USA
Yoga Teacher Central has been a tremendous source of yoga teaching knowledge. Joining was an excellent decision for me. I appreciate all your hard work to provide such excellent teaching support.
The site is wonderful and incredibly supportive to me as a teacher. As a member, I wanted to tell you that your site just keeps getting better and better. I have long hoped for a site that would bring all pertinent info together in one place to deepen knowledge. I go on the site in between classes and use my iphone. Thanks again for all you do. The site is such a valued source of information!

It is an awesome site… great work! I love the site and really depend on it for a lot of info and ideas.
I love this resource. I love how you are constantly adding information in a way that is easy to navigate. The beauty of your site is that I can access almost any topic easily.
I love the site and will pass it on to all teacher professionals.
I feel so blessed to have stumbled upon your site. I’ve gained a lot of confidence and had so much inspiration from these pages. I found talking points for lectures on topics such as teaching language, ethics, and yamas and niyamas, and beautiful insights sprinkled across the web pages. The amount of information and the clarity and depth is amazing. What a beautiful thing you’ve offered! The yoga teacher trainings I led in Bali were seamless and flowed brilliantly, and I have you to thank for creating this site, helping me brush up on some topics and discover new ideas to incorporate into the 2.5 hour morning flows.
I love your website and access it whenever I need sound teaching advice or reference material for creating my own sequences.
Awake Yoga, Kentucky, USA
I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful advice! You have given me all the tools for taking my teaching to the next level and I now have the confidence to do so. You have been a great resource on many occasions. I feel your content and layout have been the most helpful to me in my own practice as well as my teaching. With deepest gratitude.
Yoga Alliance, Sonoma, California, USA
I am enjoying the content. Even after many years of teaching, it’s a tremendous help to have someone else consolidate many good notes and appropriate images, and it is done tastefully. Thanks.
