“After having completed my first 200h teacher training in Ashtanga Yoga the 50h training with Leonie & Marlene gave me a lot of much needed clarity and structure to sequence Vinyasa Yoga classes. The training with Yoga on the Move really helped me to find my voice as a Yoga teacher and I can now teach with much more intention. I am truly grateful for this experience and absolutely recommend.”
