Here’s what people are saying about Joanne’s yoga teacher training program:
“I would highly recommend Joanne’s teacher training program to anyone interested in becoming a yoga instructor. She is truly a ‘teacher of teachers.’ Her program is comprehensive and thorough, and I know that graduates of her program will do a good job teaching at my school.”
- Leta Koontz, Owner of Schoolhouse Yoga, Pittsburgh“After practicing yoga on and off for the past 30 years, I decided to pursue yoga teacher training – to expand my own practice and to allow me to share my love of yoga with others. I investigated many options in the Pittsburgh area as well as across the country. To my delight, I settled on the Summer Intensive Teacher Training through Third Street Yoga. Joanne offers a comprehensive yoga teacher training – preparing her students to begin a life-long journey in understanding all aspects of yoga. In addition, she encouraged each student to explore their own interests, share their strengths, and learn from each other. I look forward to learning from Joanne and from my fellow yoga students for years to come!”
- Karleen Preator, 2009 graduate“Joanne’s 3rd Street Yoga teacher training program was the perfect fit for me. Not only was Joanne’s program accessible, it was affordable and structured in such a way that I could work on the material at my own pace over a period of time. The content of the program was a solid foundation to the basics of teaching yoga. It’s obvious that Joanne is a life-long teacher; the skillful way in which she structured classes was conductive to many learning styles.
As a teacher myself, I was impressed at the way Joanne welcomed and encouraged feedback along the way and was available to answer the multitude of questions that arose. She is a wonderful example of living yoga and I would recommend her program without hesitation!”
- Rachael Goss, 2009 graduate“When I decided to take yoga teacher training, I had never intended to actually teach. What I wanted was to know what the yoga teachers knew. Now that I am a teacher, while I enjoying teaching a lot, I realize what I gained was the ability to develop my own practice. For me this was a life-saving experience. Having open-heart surgery at the age of 42 let me know that my time here was short and that I needed to do something to learn to relax and to adopt a lifestyle that would reverse the course I was on. And Joanne’s teaching and the learning atmosphere at 3rd Street Yoga helped me do just that.
The friendships and working relationships that were formed during the summer intensive I attended go on today with mutual support and fun times. I couldn’t possibly have gone through this alone and I can’t imagine having as much fun and as wide a breadth of experience anywhere else. Thanks again, Joanne.”
- Don Horn, 2009 graduate“I learned a lot about myself as a teacher during Joanne’s teacher training. She allowed me to explore my own style and helped me build a foundation for teaching my classes that is based both in technique and philosophy. I would not be as grounded in my teaching if it were not for Joanne’s teacher training.”
