Completed the 200 hour at Yoga Dojo. Was on the fence about it around 5 years ago, but wanted to deepen my practice. Changed careers and found the time. Absolutely worth it on a personal level. Yoga Dojo's new studio is beautiful and comfortable. The vibe is a little less "woo woo" and more "normal people" if that means anything. Some of the folks I met during training and practice at the dojo are now among my closest friends. Lauren and Adrian run an awesome studio that will help motivate you to become both a better yogi and a great teacher. Aside from the instructor and classmates' high level of practice and empathy, they also consistently bring in world class traveling teachers. When I did my YTT they had Henry Winslow (He "won" yoga that year at the world yoga asana championships. His attention to detail in cuing is incredible), a Cirque De Soleil performer, and i think Kristen Leal who wrote Meta Anatomy as guest teachers. I only taught for a short while before the pandemic hit, but the experience as a whole was very rewarding. Feel free to PM any questions, but your best bet is to pick up a 3 class pass and take a few of Adrian and Lauren's classes to see if you like what they've got going on. Good luck!
