 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been thinking of doing yoga teacher training for a few years, but nothing in my area seemed like a good fit for my lifestyle. When I saw the post on Facebook about Rise Yoga School, it was like it was written just for me! The courses are taken when I want to take them, no time limit, and right here in my neighborhood. I'm so happy I signed up for 3 courses (so far). I took my first workshop on Mobility with Aimee Marshall and it was everything I wanted, and more! Aimee made it fun, easy to understand, and very interactive. The day flew! She is so knowledgable, and I can see how much she enjoys sharing her knowledge and helping others. I am looking forward to the next course and continuing my journey with Aimee and Rise Yoga School. Thank you for creating this wonderful opportunity!

She shared so many useful tools that we can begin incorporating into our work right away. I loved the education, the format, and the opportunity to practice. I will definitely be signing up for more classes through RISE!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rise Yoga not only helped me personally rise up to the challenge that I gave myself but also helped ground, renew, guide and inspire me. Instruction is well designed, perfectly paced and fully encompassing. I now feel confident and ready to step into a yoga instructor role. Not only did Rise Yoga give me the tools I needed to make my dream of being an instructor come true, I also was blessed with meeting some wonderful people along the way. Thank you Rise Yoga

As a seasoned yoga teacher I enjoyed learning so much new content. The presentation and support was perfect. The trainer made sure I understood the material and I appreciated the follow up email.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did a one-day virtual training with Paul. I've done MANY trainings, and can affirm that Rise Yoga School has their stuff together. I knew what to expect, what link to click, could see and hear great, and Paul was the perfect combination of kind, funny, and knowledgeable. And did you know that ongoing mentoring is included?!?! Wholeheartedly recommend.

The online program was organized, engaging, and easy to follow while still creating a supportive and interactive learning environment. It was a great experience for learning and growing in my yoga journey. A special thank you to Paul for being an exceptional instructor. His knowledge, passion, and teaching style made the experience enjoyable and motivating. He took the time to support everyone, answer questions, and create a positive atmosphere where learning felt comfortable and encouraging. I’m grateful for everything I learned and highly recommend Rise Yoga School and Paul to anyone looking to start or deepen their yoga practice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rise Yoga is exactly the YTT I was searching for. Grounded in solid knowledge of anatomy and physiology and spacious in the study of the eight limbs of yoga, Rise has something to offer everyone. The ability to take the 200-hr courses in any order is convenient and the pricing is perfect. You are more than just a number here, you are part of a family that continues to support you outside of trainings. Rise Up!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed the Detox & Renewal virtual yoga teacher training with Rise Yoga School, and it was an incredible experience!! Our instructor, Tom, was knowledgeable, supportive, and presented the material in a way that felt both thorough and easy to absorb. The training covered a lot of information, but it never felt overwhelming. Both Tom and Paul were also very responsive and helpful whenever I had questions leading up to the training. Overall, it was a truly rewarding experience—I learned so much and genuinely enjoyed the process. I’m already looking forward to taking another training with Rise Yoga School. If you’re looking to deepen your knowledge or earn Yoga Alliance continuing education credits, I highly recommend their programs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have trained with and been trained under Paul, the founder of Rise Up Yoga, and I highly recommend him and his Yoga business to anyone who is looking for trauma-informed, inclusive yoga. The Asanas, Cueing & Anatomy Yoga training is one every aspiring yogi/yogini should take! He is truly a master in yoga and a wonderful person and mentor who cares about you and your yoga journey!
