  • What I didn’t expect from the program was the amazing connections that we formed as a group and how much personal growth would occur. It was a transformative experience! I am a 20+ year yoga practitioner and this program deepened my understanding and my practice. As a 56 year old woman, one of my biggest takeaways is that it’s never too late to learn a new skill. No matter what your age is, it’s always important to continue to grow and learn new things. I recommend Shawn Shaw’s Metrowest Yoga teacher training program for anyone regardless if the end goal is to teach or just deepen their practice.

  • The journey turned out to be even more enriching than I anticipated. I delved into the history of yoga, anatomy, alignment of poses, classroom management and so much more under the guidance of wonderful teachers at the center. The training program is like a well-oiled machine, meticulously organized and comprehensive while also being highly personal and taught from people invested in each individual. An unexpected but profoundly rewarding aspect of the training was the connection I formed with my fellow yogi trainees. Beyond the physical practice of yoga, I learned invaluable life lessons about being present, handling adversity, gratitude, and viewing the world through a lens of joy. Regardless, of whether a trainee pursues teaching, I am confident that each student at Metrowest, will be deeply enriched by the journey. The knowledge and deeper connections you gain about yourself, fellow yogis, and the practice will stay with each student both on and off the mat. After years of contemplating the training, I was ultimately inspired by the words of Shawn Shaw - “ if not now, then when?”

  • It was Epic! The wisdom and knowledge shared during the Metrowest teacher training will stick with me for the rest of my life. I came into teacher training during a turbulent time in my life and it truly was a life changing experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to become a yoga teacher, improve their practice, or in search of more meaning in life & connect with their higher self. So much gratitude to Anne, Pam, Ray, Shawn and really all the teachers at Metrowest yoga.

  • I recently completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program, and the experience was transformative. The program was designed to deepen our understanding of yoga, both as a practice and a lifestyle, and to equip us with the skills necessary to become effective and inspiring yoga instructors. The curriculum was comprehensive, covering various aspects of yoga… Whether you aim to teach yoga or deepen your practice, I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about yoga and personal growth in their yoga practice.

It is essential that we expand the diversity of voices in our classrooms.

Currently, communities of color are widely underrepresented in our teachers and students.

In acknowledgment of this and in hopes of shifting towards equity…
