Reviews From 200Hr YP Students

I love that the focus is not on perfect postures but on functional movement, embodiment, and mindfulness.

Ambre Ford

I used to practice yoga at The Yoga Project in Arlington and loved the focus on anatomy. For years I’d wanted to explore the teaching side and join one of the teacher trainings in Costa Rica or Bali. During covid, I used my stimulus check to do something for me, and while it wasn’t Bali or Costa Rica and the format was different, it gave me the opportunity to do something I’d always wanted to do. So first of all, thank you Stacy and Dave for thinking outside of the box and making the teacher training accessible during such a difficult time. You are so personal and real and I’ve loved working with you. I love that the focus is not on perfect postures but on functional movement, embodiment, and mindfulness. I will admit at times this was challenging because embodiment and mindfulness does not always come easy to me. This training has been transformative personally and I’m so grateful to be able to carry it forward to others. I have so many people in my life that don’t think they can do yoga because they are “too tall, or too old, or not flexible,” etc. I’ve gained the ability to work with different unique bodies and help them not worry about what it looks like, but what it feels like. Thank you Stacy and Dave for teaching accessible yoga to those who take your course. And thank you for your flexibility and patience. I will be back for more hours, maybe in Bali or Costa Rica. :)

The well-researched anatomical foundation on which this program is built is unmatched!

Whitney Bullard

The 200-Hour Program has been a surprisingly moving experience for me. This methodology completely changed for the better the way I interact with & view my body. Going into the program I was carrying years of practice that included a lot of frustration and self-judgement. The Embodied Posture Method gave me the insight & permission to find individualized stability in yoga postures without the harsh self-judgment I’d been carrying. Judgment was replaced with loving curiosity— Why does my body feel like it needs adjustment here?? What could be the anatomical need?? The well-researched anatomical foundation on which this program is built is unmatched! This change of heart toward my body & its function allowed me to finally build a stable foundation on which I’ve been able to cultivate a much more robust & well-rounded practice. This personal insight has proven immediately valuable as an instructor. Spending time developing a personal embodied approach helps clarify the best ways to guide others into an individualized practice. I truly feel like this type of teacher training fills a much-needed gap in the yoga space and is introducing instructors into the world that are equipped to help ease frustration and enhance the love of this practice. I’m excited to have these skills that can help others feel love and gratitude for their body’s individual capabilities! I’m immensely grateful to Stacy & Dave for the work they’ve done & continue to do.

Thank you so much for the gift of this training!

Lydia Galvan

I am so grateful to Stacey and Dave of TYP for this teacher training experience! I've loved taking classes at their studios for years and am honored to have learned from their Embodied Posture Methodology, meditation and mindfulness focus, and real reflection not only on what yoga means for me as both a student and teacher, but yoga's history, impact, and context in the real world. There was so much rich text, discussion, and class that helped me evolve my practice. The knowledge of the human body and postures that I've gained has already shaped the way I show up on my mat and helps me lead classes that welcome yogis of all experiences and abilities. Thank you so much for the gift of this training!

I LOVE your book!! It will be a valuable resource forever.

Donna R.

“I have so much to say! I enjoyed and learned so much from this course, I can't wait to teach! While I was not sure if an online teacher training class would work, this program went above and beyond my expectations. I loved it all. I appreciated the focus on anatomy, the emphasis on how different everyone's bodies are, and to work within your own body's limitations. This is something I have found missing in a lot of yoga classes. I LOVE your book!! It will be a valuable resource forever. While I was nervous at first about recording the videos, I now see how valuable doing those recordings were. I learned so much hearing my own, sometimes confusing, cues. So now I have told friends and family, that when we practice, I am going to continue to record, just to keep learning. It was also invaluable learning from my classmates. Thanks for your patience and kind words. I hope to meet one day. If you are ever in Arlington and would like a Thai massage, please, please call :)”

The course is a good mix of content that covers anatomy, yogic principles, meditation, asanas, and practice.

Margy Park

"When I enrolled in the online 200Hr YP training, I was looking for yoga teacher training that taught not only the “how,” but also the “why.” Stacy and Dave have designed a well-organized, rigorous, and comprehensive course that goes broad and deep, and they are there to support you the whole time. The course is a good mix of content that covers anatomy, yogic principles, meditation, asanas, and practice. The recorded assignments were well-constructed and built on one another so I never felt overwhelmed. Practice teaching was necessary and working with friends and family who were at various levels provided a natural and perfect opportunity for growing as a teacher. Because of this experience, I feel confident as a teacher and inspired to continue learning."

Stacy and Dave’s approach has been the ideal balance between science, body, and mind.

Phoebe C.

"I was drawn to the Yoga Project’s certification program because of the orthopedic emphasis and overall wellness model. As a clinical massage therapist of over 18 years, I wanted to find a yoga program that would not only enhance the outcome of my clients/students but would also spark a new passion in my own life. Stacy and Dave’s approach has been the ideal balance between science, body, and mind. I learned to reflect about myself along the way, while Stacy and Dave both gave continued feedback and discussion that was sincere, educated, and down to earth. I am looking forward to sharing what I have learned with so many people, and that makes me excited, too! The fact that I could do this course online was absolutely a game-changer as well. As a full-time working mom, I was able to work at my pace. I’m so grateful that I found this course, and look forward to continuing my yoga education with Stacy and Dave.”

With over 25 years of teaching experience each, Stacy and Dave Dockins are both gifted communicators and trainers.

Marie Gonzalez

Yoga Project School of Yoga's teacher training program has my highest possible recommendation for anyone wanting to pursue teacher training at either the 200- or 500-hour levels. The in-depth study of anatomy, breath, movement, and mindfulness, along with a strong focus on developing clear, concise teaching techniques have immeasurably benefited me and my students. With over 25 years of teaching experience each, Stacy and Dave Dockins are both gifted communicators and trainers. Furthermore, Stacy's book, Embodied Posture, is a phenomenal tool for both teachers and students. I believe it should be required for every yoga teacher training program. Each day times of lecture and study are combined with practical exercises and practice teaching so that trainees have opportunities to implement what they are learning, receiving critical feedback, and ensuring that information and methods are fully understood. Though I just completed my RYT-500, I am already looking forward to my next training with Yoga Project.

This program has awakened the confidence to use my voice to lead others!

Jessy Kimbrell

Completing the 200 hr YTT PROGRAM from The Yoga Project has been such a deep internal process. I have gained a new awareness of what embodiment feels and looks like. This program has awakened the confidence to use my voice to lead others through their embodiment process. Dave and Stacy are great humans. Their pure hearts are shown in how they operate this course and how they approach each of their students. Thank you so much for this new way of being. I am truly grateful!

I loved the modern approach!

Aiden Brock

The 200 hr YTT with Stacy and Dave has been such a valuable experience! Thanks so much for everything. It has given me so much knowledge to grow as a yoga teacher and as a yoga practitioner in general. If I had a question about something or was reading an article about a certain topic, there would probably be an assignment about it down the line in the course! And if there were questions that I had that weren’t explicitly answered in an assignment, there was always a discussion tab to ask questions, or I could email Stacy or Dave. The assignments online through the learning platform allowed me to go at my own pace and complete assignments as I felt confident with them. Both required readings for the course are very valuable in their content. I’ve had a few professors that never really used their assigned books, but I come back to the Yamas and Niyamas and the Embodied Posture books regularly. I loved the modern approach to the course with reverence to the yoga tradition. And how even in our physicality, honoring our unique body and its alignment in yoga posture and practice is such a gift. And the best part of all: I know that this is just the beginning. There is so much more to learn!

This course had the perfect balance of anatomy (Stacy's knowledge on this topic is profound), embodied instruction technique, and trauma-informed considerations and communication.

Caitlin J.

I am so grateful that I was recommended the YP program when looking for a 200hr- it has exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. This course had the perfect balance of anatomy (Stacy's knowledge on this topic is profound), embodied instruction technique, and trauma-informed considerations and communication. I felt that it connected with my work in mental health and yoga instruction seamlessly. I appreciated that we took time to study everything from the roots of yoga and yoga ethics to current adaptations of the practice based on advancements in scientific understanding of individual differences that exist body to body. This program invited us to critically think about and challenge rigid notions that exist in yoga instruction and established the groundwork for teachers to move forward as continuous learners rather than experts. I felt that we perfectly balanced self-inquiry work with the application of principles and techniques for a well-rounded experience. I have immense appreciation for the quality and depth of this course and am grateful for Stacy, Dave, and all of the YP students for creating a welcoming and intentional space to learn and grow in.
