Lack of Confidence: Limited teaching practice during training can leave new instructors feeling unprepared to lead classes effectively.​

 "Completing my yoga teacher training with SOULIFT and lead teacher Belinthia (B) has been an incredibly transformative and rewarding experience. The program not only deepened my understanding of yoga but also helped me to connect more profoundly with myself and others. The training offered a perfect blend of theory and practical application, covering the anatomy, philosophy, and the art of teaching. I was particularly impressed by the hands-on approach, as we spent ample time teaching, receiving feedback, and refining our practice. The instructors B, Jeannine, and Sallie, were knowledgeable, supportive, and inspiring, creating a nurturing environment that encouraged growth and exploration. I appreciated how the training emphasized mindfulness, self-awareness, and creating space for individual expression. It was truly eye-opening to see how yoga extends far beyond the physical asana practice and into a holistic lifestyle. In addition to the technical aspects, the training also gave me the tools to develop my own teaching style and approach. I feel confident and well-prepared to step into a teaching role, knowing that I have a solid foundation in both the practice and the philosophy of yoga. Overall, this training has been a life-changing journey, and I would recommend SOULIFT yoga teacher training to anyone passionate about yoga and teaching. It has not only equipped me with the skills to guide others but has also nurtured my own personal growth, and I’m excited to continue sharing the gift of yoga."

 “I recently finished my 200-Hour yoga teacher training through SOULIFT Academy and started my teaching experience here. Being an introvert and from foreign country, I always lacked confidence and worried about my language barrier. This program is created very intelligently and led by Belinthia Elder, the E-RYT 500. She is a real Guru and professional at what she does as well as other lead teachers in this program. It was not a brief run through the mountain tops of yoga; instead, it was a deep journey through the valley of Yoga, capturing the real essence of it. Looking back to my journey now, I can say it was so worth it to invest in myself as I feel I grew in so many ways and gained confidence to teach. The best part is that you will never be left alone, because Soulift is a Community! If you are thinking about yoga teacher training or where to take your practice - Soulift is a perfect place to be right here, right now.”

“Our lead teacher, Belinthia Elder, was deeply knowledgeable in all aspects of the training. She did a wonderful job incorporating the yoga philosophy with wonderful cueing and multiple class formats. In addition to teaching public classes prior to graduation, practicing private sessions gave me extra skills to feel confident helping others tailor their yoga practice to where they are at present. Upon graduation, I immediately started teaching and felt capable to do so. I highly recommend this yoga teacher training for anyone who wants to deepen their practice, or who wants to teach at any level.”
