I feel like I made an excellent choice for my teacher training. The teaching of the poses was excellent - Jennifer has a special gift for teaching. She is very attentive and accommodating, yet she remains objective. I learned so many techniques and secrets to help help me better my practice. There are so many different trainings being offered all over the world, and this training was the best one for me. There is so much emphasis on correct alignment and safety. Thank you Jennifer and Frog Lotus Yoga!
—Janet F.
Overall, this has been one of the most life-changing, inspiring, and introspective things I've ever done. I took a huge risk coming here, not knowing the studio/philosophy/teacher, and I so thrilled to say that Frog Lotus Yoga and Jennifer were 100% the right choice for me. Thank you! A+ for course content. The assisting was a great addition; the poses were covered very thoroughly and I loved the anatomy. When people within the yoga community ask me where and with whom I trained, I will be so excited to say "Frog Lotus with Jennifer Yarro!"
—Emily B.

The teacher training at Frog Lotus not only changed my practice but also rooted me in a confident, competent place to share the gift with others. There are many teacher trainings available, but none with the well-roundedness or heart and soul of the Frog Lotus experience. So much expertise was bestowed on me for the money.

Jennifer's support as a teacher is really a gem. She makes space for all of her students and pushes them to be their best selves. I thought the teaching and practicing of assists was superb. Jennifer loves to share all that she knows; her excitement, enthusiasm, and deep respect for the learning process made our training a great experience.
