“I am a 500 hr graduate of Grateful Yoga, and my experience there continues to play an important role in my life every single day. I am so grateful for this studio, and that I decided to invest this time and money into myself. Joining this yoga teacher training has helped enable me to take care of my body, mind, and spirit so that I can go out and do good work!

I have also participated in all years of the Vermont Be True Yoga Festival, held at the gorgeous Milldale Farm Center for Wellness in Fairlee, VT. This festival, this healing center, and the wonderful folks who make it happen have so much heart! I’ve already marked my calendar for the 2020 festival, and wouldn’t miss it for anything.

To combine Grateful Yoga’s teacher training program with the Milldale Farm Center for Wellness is a no-brainer. The two entities will magnify the greatness of one another, and everyone, especially those enrolled in the training, will benefit greatly. This is a very special opportunity, and I highly recommend you register! ”
