Graduate Reviews

Completing the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training through Blue Sky Yoga in collaboration with Good Space was nothing short of transformative. From the very first session, it was clear that this program was created with deep care, integrity, and a true respect for the roots and purpose of yoga. The instructors brought such wisdom, warmth, and authenticity into the space, creating a supportive environment that encouraged both personal and professional growth. What I appreciated most was how the training honored yoga as more than just a physical practice. It was an invitation to connect more deeply to self, to community, and to the world around us. I didn’t just learn how to sequence a class or guide a posture (though those skills were taught beautifully); I learned how to hold space, how to integrate breath and intention, and how to weave the mind-body-soul connection into every offering I share. Now, stepping into my role as a yoga teacher, I feel confident, grounded, and inspired to share this practice with others in a way that is inclusive, intentional, and healing. I’m leaving this training with not just tools, but a purpose—to spread the essence of yoga to a wider audience and help others find connection, presence, and peace. If you’re considering yoga teacher training and want a program rooted in heart and depth of knowledge, I can’t recommend this one enough.”

I really appreciated the thoroughness in which Hanna and Annie created their curricula and learning space. It was very evident to me that both care very deeply for not only the success of each teacher candidate, but also their well-being. I learned an incredible amount of information and also was able to work on some necessary personal growth during the course. I would highly recommend Good Space to anyone searching for a yoga teacher training.”

My Yoga Teacher Training experience with Good Space held at Blue Sky Yoga STL was AMAZING! It had theory, history, practical application, introspection, community, and so much more. I learned so much and feel so confident after this comprehensive experience. I know that I have the foundation to carry me as I begin to teach yoga in the community.”
