This training with Marianne Wells was truly a beautiful experience. As a teacher, her knowledge of all aspects of yoga is unsurpassed. The training was thorough and well structured. The fellow students were wonderful and the supportive bond that developed amongst the group made the experience all the more special. Also, Anna from Fit Bodies was an incredible host - kind, gracious and meticulously organized. I already plan on taking another training! Loved it!

This was my second time doing this training. I LOVED it so much the first time that I wanted to do it again! I will continue to take more of these trips because Marianne Wells is such an amazing teacher ❤️🙏 She is so experienced in the whole yoga lifestyle, and openly shares her knowledge. Everybody on the trip had such amazing connections with each other, and said they will remember this week forever. It was so much more than learning to teach postures. It was a journey that leaves everyone in a better state of health, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, with the tools to enhance and preserve our own lives, as well as helping others.
