“It was a great experience learning with students from different states as well as an opportunity to travel to different locations that I may not have. A great wealth of knowledge from the instructors and straight forward courses.”

“I have already been recommending NETA’s program. I feel like the instructors are top notch and the program is very well rounded. I am well prepared to continue my teaching after this program.”

“I appreciate the modular approach. The mix of in person and virtual instruction was timely and efficient. The modular approach allows students to slowly integrate their training into their practice and establish longer term relationships with their instructors and fellow students. The mix of live and virtual (due to COVID) allowed for flexibility and efficient learning. Thank you NETA. Namaste.”

“The teachers are all incredibly knowledgeable and alter their instruction to fit the class. Our learning was about us and what was important to us as students to learn and practice. The modules were offered on line and even though that is not an easy transition, classes were conducted timely, professionally and allowed for individual instruction. I am very happy with the program and recommend it highly to anyone interested in becoming a yoga instructor.”

“NETA’s 200 hour yoga teacher training is a great program. Students are able to take classes that fit into their schedule. Instructors do a great job teaching the material. The program is also very affordable. I highly recommend their program!”
