  • “To say I enjoyed Wendy’s teacher training program very much is an understatement, I truly thought it was a transformative experience. I felt it was a light bulb moment, she introduced me to a new way to conceptualize my body, and I touched a new kind of consciousness during the practice. I felt as though my yoga asanas were getting static or boring and that I needed to make them harder but Wendy showed me just how far away that thought was from reality.”

  • " I had no idea what to expect when I walked through the doors on that first evening but any preconceived ideas or expectations have been blown away. Wendy creates a friendly, supportive and unintimidating environment in which students are able to learn and grow. Her knowledge and experience really shine through in this comprehensive program...and it's FUN! The Blue Sun Yoga Teacher Training program has changed my life! "

  • “I was ready to dive deep into the soul of yoga to learn more about this wonderful practice that had already done so much greatness in my life, but never did I expect to learn so much about myself as well. The connections made with my fellow yoga teacher trainees will last a lifetime and the positive effect the teaching has had will resonate for many many years. Wendy has created a very warm, inviting atmosphere that allowed everyone to dig deep inwardly and come out shining bright! I don't want it to end!”

  • "You know the saying "When you are ready, the teacher will appear"? Well that's how I feel about Wendy and the Blue Sun Yoga Teacher Training Program. I entered into this training with the intention of really just deepening my own personal practice. Each class brought so much wisdom. I thought I might be intimidated by an instructor who is so knowledgeable, but the material was always presented in such thoughtful ways and most importantly always from the heart. I constantly felt supported by Wendy. She wants you to grow and help you by making herself so available in the learning process. I loved the format of every other weekend because it gave us the time to process the information that was being presented. We were able to practice and reflect upon the material. This training brings you back to your true self. The more I live the yoga, the more I want to share it. This is the perfect program to prepare you for that. Wendy holds a very special place in my heart as well by creating space for connections, where my fellow trainees who have become like family to me. I am forever grateful for this program!"
