Testimonials

Here are what recent graduates of theOMplace Interdisciplinary Yoga Teacher Training say:

The vast knowledge, kindness, and personal touches the teacher training program provided helped me find a unique teaching style. Erin and David create an atmosphere that is unlike other locations, as the studio is surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and wildflowers. It is just the type of space a yoga student travels thousands of miles to find, and it's just down the road.

I had been teaching yoga for 4 years before signing on to Erin's program. Based on her workshops I had taken in the past, I had high expectations. But nothing could prepare me for the yoga revival in my soul that occurred over those 6 months. Erin's enthusiasm for discovery rallied me every weekend and her non-dogmatic approach is exactly what a teacher needs to survive in the yoga business today. Not only do I highly recommend her program, but I also make her workshops mandatory for my staff!

I would highly recommend Erin Smith's Yoga Teacher Training course to all who love yoga and want to share that love with others. The pace of the class was perfect - the one weekend a month allowed me to absorb and use the material as we were learning it. Erin's knowledge is superb and comprehensive - in all areas from learning asana's to adjusting and assisting, history, physiology and anatomy, and even the business aspects of running a studio. Erin teaches in a style that is accepting, encouraging and non-threatening to all. She fosters sharing among the students and creates an atmosphere in the class that is warm and supportive. This 200 hour training class is a real personal journey and I cannot think of a better person to accompany me on that journey than Erin.

This is an opportunity not to be missed. Erin and David work magic in the studio. The are both extremely knowledgeable and equally eager to share their wisdom. Erin is a born teacher; it will take no time at all for you to fully trust in her and to love and respect her as her loyal pupils have done for years. My practice continues to grow because I have a much better understanding of what happens within my body as I move form asana to asana. I have a better love of self and the world around me; isn't that what yoga is really about?

After searching online for the perfect teacher training program and finding that they were too far away and way over my budget, I was delighted when a friend told me of a program in Winchester, Ky: not too far from my home in Shelbyville, and very affordable. Erin allowed us to make payments which helped me out and the schedule worked very well with my busy family. She made things simple, meaningful, and a lot of fun, the program went very smoothly. I feel like I got the best training I could get from a very experienced teacher. Erin helped me to see my potential as a yoga teacher and encouraged me to make my dream to teach come true!  I am very satisfied with the training I got and recommend it to anyone searching for a great, accessible program!
