Testimonials
“The Yoga Teacher Training program at Mesa Rim is an inclusive and supportive program that is helping me grow. Kim’s experience as a yoga instructor and her knowledge of human anatomy raises the bar. Whether you just want to deepen your own practice or go on to teach, I would highly recommend this program.”
“I cannot recommend the Reno Mesa Rim 200-YTT program highly enough. The program gives future teachers a strong foundation in physical anatomy, the energetic body, yoga philosophy, sequencing and cuing flows, and hands on adjustments. Mesa’s program attracted an amazing community of future teachers who joined to better themselves and spread the gifts of yoga. It is a great environment to practice teaching, receive kind and constructive feedback, and find your voice until you’re comfortable leading a flow from beginning to end. If you have been on the fence, consider this your nudge to sign up and become a yoga teacher!”
“The Mesa Rim YTT program was a fantastic choice. Not only does it feel good to be a part of the fitness and climbing community here at Mesa, but studying under the knowledge and compassion of Kim Allock has been a true joy! I am finishing this course with greater confidence, a stronger voice, and a deeper reverence for the practice and history of yoga. The coursework is well-balanced, hands on, and accessible for all levels. I am so thankful to be a part of the 2023-2024 cohort!”
