During the Teacher Training you get right down to it; the way I think the great yogi's of the past would have expected. It's mentally stimulating and physically demanding in a way that makes me feel stronger on all levels. I pushed my body, mind and heart and I feel lighter, happier, freer because of my experience at Frog Lotus. As with anything you do, you get what you put in to it. Jacqueline provides a beautiful space and years of experience that allow for amazing personal transformation if you let it...go for it, you'll be glad you did.

I came to Frog Lotus Yoga for the 200 hr teacher training program to gain my certification
to teach yoga, with the hopes of a side benefit that would include more physical strength and balance.
What I left with was much more than just my certification to teach yoga, but a deeper level
of emotional, spiritual, physical strength and balance than I would have imagined.
I not only found a mentor in the Director at Frog Lotus Yoga, Jacqueline Heisel, but the offer
of a deeper, more meaningful way of living.
Rather than a large, anonymous program, Frog Lotus Yoga is an intimate, personalized
environment, where the entire staff is dedicated to one common goal, that of offering an understanding
of all that yoga encompasses; including philosophy, art, science and discipline, along with the
encouragement to explore and participate fully; mind, body and spirit.
I am incredibly grateful that I found Frog Lotus Yoga. I now feel more qualified to teach yoga as a
way of life, in addition to the practice of asanas, than I may have been had I chosen an alternative
place to study. Thank you for your insight, dedication and commitment to yourself and to other's Jacqueline!

For anyone who is even considering going to Frog Lotus Yoga, I would definitely recommend the teacher training program. If you keep an open mind and heart you won't believe how greatly it will effect your life. Jacqueline took a big city girl, whose life was full of chaos, and turned her into a true yogini. It wasn't by a pushy attititude, it was by kindness and true guidance. She gives you the tools and knowledge to better yourself both physically and emotionally. It is then up to you to absorb all the goodness that is around you. Thanks Jacqueline, you and your staff will forever be in my heart.

Jacqueline is a powerful, skilled and fun instructor and I am grateful to have
had the opportunity to study with her. It still surprises me how much I have
learned and grown from the one month teacher training program. The experience
has been transformative. Thank you very much Frog Lotus Yoga.

Thank you so much for being such a wonderful influence on me. I can't thank you enough for supporting this life changing experience for me. Initially it was all about learning to teach yoga but I realized it is so much more. The awareness, clarity and intention to always move forward in life is a gift. The combination of the incredibly diverse and dynamic group that I was privileged to practice with as well as a wonderful dedicated teacher made for a phenomenal experience at Frog Lotus Yoga. I can't stop thinking about it, feeling, practicing yoga and smiling. Thank you!

I just returned home from the January 200-hour yoga teacher's training course at Frog Lotus Yoga, and am amazed at how profoundly my life has been affected. Not only has my own practice been deepened immeasurably, but the friendships that I made over the course of the month will affect my life every day. Jacqueline is a gracious and competent woman, and her passion for yoga infuses her teaching style with verve and authenticity. The studio itself is an incredibly beautiful place to spend an entire month diving into yoga's possibilities, and all of her other teachers are wonderful as well. I highly recommend Frog Lotus Yoga to anyone looking to receive their 200-hour certification!
Dolly Stavros, LMT, RYT
The Yoga Teachers training was an amazing experience! To be immersed in yoga 24/7 with 21 other like-minded individuals was wonderful. Both Jacqueline and October presented us with an incredible amount of information. I highly recommend this program to anyone considering
teaching or deepening their own practice.
Betsy Barry, Franklin, MA.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to you for providing this excellent learning environment. The course exceeded my expectations. I appreciate your organization, clarity, commitment and broad knowledge and experience. Keep up the good work!
Jem Mix, Boston, MA.
Thank you for provoking so many excellent philosophical discussions during this course. Learning the how is one thing but learning the why is quite another-much more elusive and deserves the attention you gave it.
Sati Chmelar, Florida.
I am so glad I chose Frog Lotus for my training. I have learned and grown so much! Thank you for all of your knowledge. What a gift!
Caroline McMahon, New York, NY.
I particularly appreciate the beauty of the space you've created, your flexibility and openness to accommodating different students, the tuition which is affordable, the grounding of the teaching in asana but time to think about and discuss the other 7 limbs, and the readings from your teacher-so insistently optimistic that enlightenment is possible. Your evenness and grace as a teacher embody yogic principles. Keep sharing the light!
Leigh Strimbeck, Chatham, New York.
I want to thank you for an incredible teachers training. I learned so much and really appreciated all of your giving and sharing. The training was much more than I ever imagined. I still wake up some mornings missing the studio and all the classes I took there.
Brenda Holland, Butte, Montana.
I am so glad I chose to do my Yoga Teacher Training at Frog Lotus Yoga.
I really appreciated the small group because it allowed for intimate
connection and personal attention.
The training was very thorough and clear in its
organization and execution.
The studio space itself is very beautiful and a comfortable place to be, which
is essential when spending so many hours a day in one place!
There were a variety of classes and teachers to choose from, thus I was able
to really deepen my practice through exposure to various styles.
I feel prepared to begin teaching and hope I can artfully implement all that I
learned. Thanks!
Ava Roy, Lenox MA
The teachers Training Program challenged my physical skill and mental stamina, rewarding me with a rock solid base of knowledge to draw on in my teaching.
Jema Abbate, Albany, New York.
Thank you for taking us on an amazing journey. I cannot believe how much I have learned and grown in one month!
Betsy Barry, Franklin, Massachusetts
This time here has enriched my life, strengthened my practice and deepened my heart. Thank you for the opportunity.
Amanda Horton, Austin, Texas
The training gave me far more than I ever imagined-not only did I learn how to deepen my practice and share it with others, but I also grew an enormous amount intellectually, spiritually and emotionally over the four weeks. I will always appreciate the experience at Frog Lotus Yoga and know that it has contributed to my path of self-discovery.
Tatyana Mamut, Berkeley, California.
Choosing from the many Teacher Training programs out there was no easy task. Frog Lotus definitely turned out to be the right decision. The program is a guided process that prepares you well to confidently create and instruct your own classes. More than just an education, this was a life affirming experience. It increases your thirst for continuing education and a lifetime of learning the ancient tradition of yoga. Jacqueline Heisel is generous in sharing her vast knowledge and experience.
Lisia Ross.
The Yoga teacher Training at Frog Lotus provided me with a sturdy foundation of knowledge on all aspects of yoga. One of the greatest benefits was allowing us to choose which classes to take, so we could tailor the program to fit our yogic interests. The studio itself is a real gem and the instructors are wonderful. The program has well prepared me for an intended career in yoga and provided me with the confidence to do so. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking to expand their knowledge and deepen their well-being. The lessons I've learned, the friends I've made and the memories that were created are all part of a total experience I will never forget.
Julie Weiss, Massapequa, New York.
Teacher training at Frog Lotus was all I expected it to be and more. Physically, my body became strong and agile, knowing the poses more completely. Anatomy training bettered my understanding of the body and the benefits of yoga. Mentally, I can see the whole of yoga now, the traditions, the goals, those who have shaped it, even the Sanskrit!! It was an intense and wonderful experience, with friendships that I can never forget. I am more myself than I was before. Thank you, Jaqueline. You are a remarkable teacher and mentor.
Hunter Clarke-Fields, Ardencroft, DE.
Thank you Jacqueline for a wonderful training and an
extensive coverage of about 100 poses. I really
enjoyed teaching and assisting my 'students', and it
was worthwhile the trip over from Switzerland.
Marieluise Maiwald, Basel, Switzerland
Thank you for such a thorough training. I am grateful to have found you and
this Training. Since I have been back and taking classes at the
local studios, I see how truly amazing the training was. You are a great
director.
Ashley Griswald, East Quoge, NY
I can't thank you enough. My experience here has been everything I expected and more. You have given me all the tools I need to be an effective teacher. Mission successful! With the number of higher level poses you have exposed me to and the knowledge of sequencing you have given me, I shouldn't have a reason to not feel challenged for a long time to come. Thank you for everything. Love and light streaming eternally from you and to you!
Daniel Prince, Chattanooga, TN
Thank you once again for the teacher training. I learned a lot about teaching, anatomy and my own practice, not to mention yoga philosophy, history, etc. I would love to have the opportunity to attend further training and workshops with you and October in the future. I miss your Hatha 3 classes SOO much, and I would love to be there to join you in your early morning sun salutations and practice. I learned so much from the intensive focus on backbending or inversions or balances - whatever the focus of the day was. I haven't experienced another class or teacher before or since who offered such a challenging, deep and focused practice. I miss it! I have already started teaching as a sub in two studios within walking distance from my house in Indianapolis, and will have my own classes on the schedule at three starting in January. In addition, my husband and I have dedicated our living room to the function of yoga room, and I have been holding 4-5 classes a week at home for friends and friends of friends. So, I'm attempting to make full time work of teaching....
