Empower Yoga Teacher Training was an amazing experience.  I grew in ways that I didn't know I needed to grow.  I'm excited to continue learning and growing.  Thank you Suzy and Jill for all your compassion and support.  You are a blessing to me and the Appleton community.  Namaste, Kim J

Empower yoga teacher training has done more than deepened my practice or trained me to become a teacher. Every weekend of training opened new doors into ways of thinking, feeling, and being, and awakened me to a deeper understanding of self and what I have to offer-- my inner and intrinsic teacher. Jill and Suzy were wonderfully compassionate, inspiring, challenging, and giving of their time and hearts. I will take this experience with me everywhere, and can't wait for more opportunities to continue to grow as a yoga teacher. Thank you!-Rachel G
