"It's really amazing to think that it's only been ten months or so that I have been practicing yoga with @alexmcrobs @themindfullifepractice community. When Alex announced she was now offering the Yoga Teacher Training, I signed up. I am so glad I did - I have learned so much in this first module and I can't wait to continue. I am loving improving my postures but even just as much, expanding my mind through the philosophy of yoga. I am reframing how I look at the world and how I approach every day. This has been a touch year for everyone and I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through it without yoga. I thought I was grounded but this has revealed a whole dimension to my life that I didn't realize I had the power to open. Truly life changing.

"I'm really grateful for the opportunity to join such a lovely group on the YTT. The sense of community is amazing. This root chakra chapter has been a reminder for being rooted, confident and knowing that I have all the power within myself. Alex is a perfect teacher to walk alongside the experience. She is always making us feel safe and inviting us to explore our creativity."

Alexandra, Greece

"I am so grateful and content that Alexandra McRobert launched her online yoga teacher training. I have always enjoyed practicing yoga and meeting likeminded people, and in 2020, Alex created her online platform for virtual sessions, virtual community, and more. A year later, I myself have signed up for yoga teacher training, via Alex's platform. The first month of my 25 hours has been absolutely stunning. The moment I enter the YTT community every Saturday afternoon, these five hours are devoted to myself. We learn the components of yoga, the theory, we are taught the asanas (postures) the pranayamas (the breath), and we're part of a community of beautiful souls. I loved the fact that in April we had Earth Day, and our first chakra we were taught in YTT was Muladhara, root chakra, where the element is earth. Being part of the YTT has brought me tranquility to my heart and mind, and I look forward to continuing our journey.

In the final module of this 200 Hour Training, you will be exposed to the necessary foundations for student safety, educated on how to adapt for various student types, and learn about teaching methodology and instruction. You will learn about the business of yoga, including marketing, reaching your full potential as a teacher, and building revenue and business streams. You will give two presentations to the class: one on a chosen topic of interest from yoga humanities, and one on a chosen topic of interest from the anatomy of yoga. You will put all of the pieces together from your training and create a final project, which will be an eight-week yoga course for The Mindful Life Practice. You will have an opportunity to implement this as part of one of our seasons of classes with the MLPC.
