We will check in periodically throughout the training but, other than that, your microphones will be muted by default. You will have control to turn your video or microphone on or off during the training when you need to ask a question or wish to participate in group discussion. If you are new to the platform, rest assured, Zoom is easy to install and understand. Included in this training is a printable manuals and slides to make it easy for you to participate fully in the training without having to look at your computer all day if you are sensitive to screen time.

Our intention has always been to offer a training that is as accessible as possible. As of late, this has including reformatting our training to an online format to accommodate for COVID-19. We have been connecting and engaging in this way since restrictions began in March, 2020 and have mastered the art of the online yoga teacher training.

The Science of Breath

Not once did I imagine participating in a yoga teacher training. I'm glad for pushing myself out of my comfort zone and partaking in YYT 200 in Bermuda. Not only, did I have the privelege in returning to a place quite dear to me, but I had the pleasure in learning about yoga from the spunky Carly, shining bright and willing to assist those of us who were nervous and unsure about the course. Her mixture of "nuts and bolts" yoga and practical application gives us a firm foundation as future yoga instructors. Carly, represents teaching as it should be - instilling knowledge while providing opportunities to apply that knowledge and tweek it, accordingly. This experience was truly exceptional! Thank you, Carly for your care and diligence to the practice of yoga and encouraging us in our yoga pursuits. I highly recommend Carly Stong for your yoga teacher training!

~ Amy, YTT YGK 200-Hour, May 2018 Bermuda Intensive

I had no idea what to expect when I had initially signed up for YTT with Carly Stong in May 2018. As person who had practiced yoga for several years and taken a variety of classes and workshops, I assumed YTT was going to be similar in that it involved yoga history and a bit more info on poses etc. However, Carly's teaching style and approach really provided insightful and practical knowledge that challenges what I had previously learned and practiced about yoga. Carly's YTT changed the way I viewed yoga forever in that it made more aware of why we teach yoga. I absolutely, without hesitation recommend Carly's YTT.

~ Nina, YTT YGK 200-Hour, May 2018 Bermuda Intensive

I have been very fortunate to teach at Life Yoga and most recently became a student in Carly’s Yoga Teacher Training Kingston 200 hour. Carly has continually pushed the limits with her knowledge and always wants to share that with those around her. Carly is one of the most inspirational woman I have had the pleasure of knowing. Her training, workshops and classes always have you wanting more.

~ Ashley, YTT YGK 200-Hour, 2018-2019

I came into this training as an impromptu decision. I practiced yoga on a casual bases for years. I was not the "in-stuido" type of student. I did not feel that my plus sized body was for yoga. Taking this training gave me the skills, knowledge and confidence to understand yoga from a function over form perspective. Carly, has a quiet confident way of teaching that is inclusive, welcoming, knowledgeable and fun. She has an amazing ability to support you in learning how to become your own best yoga teacher. I highly recommend this training.
