A Dream Fulfilled: A Heartfelt Thank You to My Yoga School 🙏🏼🌿✨
I began my yoga teacher training during the pandemic while living in Chicago, and I’m incredibly grateful to have finally completed this beautiful journey after moving to Rincón, Puerto Rico, to deepen my yoga practice.
What began as a dream has now become a reality, and I feel truly blessed to have reached this meaningful milestone. My heartfelt thanks to the entire school and its dedicated teachers for providing the guidance, knowledge, and support that helped me see this journey through to completion. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and fulfill a dream that has been close to my heart for years.
Thank you for being such an important part of my journey and helping make this dream come true! 🙏🏼🌿✨

Amazing course!
Amazing course very informative i feel so confident in the knowledge i gained whether its yoga philosophy or asanas. The facebook community was very sweet and it was nice to share part of everyone's journey. I also appreciate Stef's feedback shes always genuine and honest.
I would only have one comment about the quality of the videos, some were too extremely bright that it was hard to see the instructor.

I completed my 250 Hour Yoga Teacher…
I completed my 250 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2023, and it has become an important part of my continued journey in education and therapeutic wellness. The team was amazing, supportive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in the learning experience.
As I continue my education in counseling, I have shared this program with colleagues who are also becoming counselors. We believe in being cross trained because healing and wellness are not limited to one approach. I believe in seeing the whole person, mind, body, emotions, experiences, and overall well being.
The training I received through what was then Online Yoga School, now Lifted Lotus, added another layer to my personal and professional journey. The studio, instructors, and online training experience were amazing. Three years later, I am still finding ways to connect what I learned to the work I am building through Rooted Rising Solutions. Plan to take more courses. This is my Yoga school of choice. 💕🧘🏾♀️
Stay Rooted. Keep Rising.

From Performance to Presence: A Deeply Affirming Journey Home to the Body
Completing my 200 hour YTT with Online Yoga School has been one of the most meaningful and affirming learning experiences of my life. I originally enrolled simply to deepen my practice, but the program ended up giving me far more than I expected. It provided the teaching skills I did not have before and strengthened my entire dossier because of the depth and breadth of the training.
What stood out most was how intentionally equity and accessibility were woven throughout the entire program. This was not something mentioned once or tucked into a single lesson. It shaped the tone, the teaching, the sequencing, the philosophy, and the overall approach to yoga. The Equity in Yoga series included several modules on anti racism, and I deeply appreciated their inclusion, especially because yoga spaces have not traditionally been inclusive in this way. As someone who already has strong language and understanding around anti racism, it meant a great deal to see it intentionally centered as part of the curriculum. The program reinforced the truth that asanas are meant to serve the person doing them, not the world watching; and that yoga honors who you are and the body you have rather than asking you to perform a version of yourself.
This approach allowed me to appreciate my own practice in a new way. For the first time, I felt fully invited to explore yoga without performance or striving. That sense of respect for all bodies carried directly into my final teaching project, where I taught a courage themed class to my daughter. The experience was intimate, imperfect, and beautiful. I incorporated breathwork, journaling, and mindful cueing, and I adapted the sequence in real time to support her needs. It reflected exactly what this program taught me: to lead with presence, to honor the person in front of me, and to teach from a place of compassion and awareness.
I also appreciated the self paced structure, the rich yoga history content, and the way the program consistently emphasized accessibility as a core value rather than an afterthought. As someone who is now integrating yoga into my coaching and consulting work, I feel prepared, grounded, and aligned.
I am grateful for Stephanie and the entire OYS team for creating a training that is ethical, inclusive, and truly heart centered. This program expanded my understanding of yoga, strengthened my skills, and affirmed my commitment to guiding people with integrity, presence, and respect.

Not the End, Just the Beginning
Just completed my 200hr YTT with Lifted Lotus Online Yoga School and honestly… it’s been such a meaningful journey
I really appreciated the flexibility of the course,it made it possible to learn at my own pace while juggling work. The content is well-rounded, especially anatomy and sequencing, which helped me understand my practice on a deeper level.
At the same time, I’m also really grateful for the guidance I received off the mat. having a teacher who could truly see me, correct me, and gently push me made all the difference in how I grow in my practice.
Overall, a good starting point… but the real learning happens when you stay consistent and keep showing up

The best yoga teacher training there is!!
This was such an amazing experience. I'm so thankful and blessed to have experienced this amazing and comprehensive training. Many of my yoga teacher friends said this course covered much more than their training did and I love the lifetime access. Thank you to Steph, Diane, Melissa and the entire team for helping me get through this. I am forever grateful!!

Absolutely wonderful training and experience
I have practiced yoga for over 15 years. I was never able to take enough time off from work to complete a yoga teacher training. This online program allowed me to complete the training, and I am now in a position where I can teach yoga full-time and be self-employed. I love how the classes emphasize yoga for every body. It is such a positive environment and welcoming space. I feel the training was very thorough and effective. I took a bit longer to complete the program, and by the end, I found I still remembered everything and didn't have to review very much. This shows that everything was explained well and there was enough repetition for the information to go to long-term memory. That is good teaching. Any questions I had were answered quickly. The website is also very user friendly. I look forward to taking more classes and learning all they have to teach me. Thank you to Steph and all the yoga teachers in this program (special mention to Sandra and all her classes, I loved them immensely)
