As teachers, it is a necessity to know how to read your students, to know what they need, to know what's essential for them to learn. With the Marianne Wells Yoga Instructor Training Program, you will not only learn to see with your head but also your heart. You will find creative ways to think on your feet as you tailor a Yoga class to fulfill the needs of every student. One of the keys to a successful class is that we learn from each other.
