YTT Graduate Reviews

Kind words from my ytt graduates
which topic was the most interesting or valuable for you?
For my personal life, the philosophy and energetic aspects, and for the teaching side, all about anatomy.
Learning your sequencing approach and using the base sequence to plan classes.
All of the information about meditation was hugely beneficial for me. It’s certainly a path I want to explore in the future.
Learning how to adapt asanas with different props and try new positions and variations.
I had no idea about the history of yoga, so it was really interesting learning about it.
I loved learning about Ayurveda and about making yoga more inclusive.
Learning about the mindbody connection and how so many things are linked together.
Learning about how pain works was really cool.
Learning how to breathe properly and the different types of breathing.
I really liked that we could try teaching from the very beginning.
The whole philosophy topic was mind blowing to understand.
Planning classes using the prana vayus and elements.
How to live yoga outside of the mat.
Learning how to break down the components/anatomical bits of each asana.
The sequencing structure because it makes it easy to plan a good and enjoyable class.
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT YOU will take with you?
There is no perfect way to perform an asana. Each of us will have their own way of doing it according to our individual anatomy and intention.
To have an intention for my practice and when I plan a class. There is so much to focus on it helps to have one specific goal or thread to follow.
How to actually sequence a yoga class.
How to plan classes to focus on different parts of the body rather than everything at once.
That there is no black and white.
The training really highlighted how the practice is truly a personal experience and yoga should (and can) be accessible to everyone.
Everything about yoga philosophy - I loved it.
That there is no right or wrong alignment and we should always offer variations.
Yoga alignment is not black and white. There is no right or wrong, but depending on what you want to achieve, one alignment may be more optimal than another.
Yoga is as much off the mat as is it on the mat. You don't have to have a regular asana practice if you practice yoga throughout the day as a lifestyle.
Yoga props are fun. I used to hate yoga props and I thought they are unnecessary at best and cumbersome at worst. Now I think: "Why don't they have bolsters and blankets, annoying!"
How to sequence classes in a logical way.
The sequencing module was so practical and made preparing a class so much easier.
How to make yoga more accessible and inclusive.
Yoga philosophy, because I could learn so much about myself during this part of the training.
WHAT WAS YOUR highlight or FAVOURITE PART OF THE TRAINING?
The amazing bond we had as a group.
The highlight was when I experienced all my colleagues teaching, and when I could teach myself. I was amazed by the quality of each class and how they were all so different.
When all the parts we learned came together and the result was stunning.
Teaching my first yoga class was an incredible feeling that I will remember forever.
It’s actually after the training finished and I realised how much of an impact it’s had on my normal life.
The end ceremony before getting our certificates - it was really special.
I really loved the morning asana classes that were always linked to the topic we were discussing that day. That was really well planned and helped us to learn.
Bringing all the individual things together and seeing how things connect.
I finally did a handstand haha.
Teaching everyone the exam class - I was so scared but I loved it.
It’s impossible to pick one thing!
YOGA TEACHER TRAINING REVIEWS
Coming from law enforcement, I've been through countless courses, trainings, and selection processes, given by both private companies or the government. Jess delivered, by far, the best training I've ever experienced. Everything was perfect, from the organisation, timing, topics and the way the whole course was put together. She makes sure you feel right at home and makes everything easy and fun to understand. I could not be more grateful to have completed my 200h training with her. - Valerio
This YTT was everything I hoped for and more; very intense but so, so worth it! Jess was the perfect host and teacher! She made me feel welcomed and heard, taught us so much, offered us new perspectives, and challenged us. The tools we learnt will stay with me for ever. We had a perfect-size group, full of amazing people. If you're thinking about embarking on the crazy journey that is a YTT, I cannot recommend Jess enough. - Katie
I am so grateful for the chance to meet Jess, who is truly amazing. She makes every subject so interesting and relatable to real life, that you will enjoy even the ones you think you are less familiar with. She will introduce you to wonderful guest teachers who will make you see the subjects in a different way too. And most importantly, her purpose is not to mass produce yoga teachers, but to help you discover what resonates most with you, so that you can be authentic in offering your knowledge and teachings in the future. - Léane
Even if I knew Jess and how amazing she is, I didn't know what to expect from this training. It was finally one of the best experience of my life. I'm so grateful for everything I learned personally and professionally from Jess. She is the best person I could have wished for to live this transformative moment. We can feel her passion and knowledge in yoga in every word she says. After the training, I really feel ready to go and teach with confidence with all the tools I need. Jess is also very supportive after the training. Last but not least, the location of the training is stunning. I would recommend this training to everybody! - Melissa
Great training with Jess who shared her enormous knowledge about yoga in her kind and supporting way. The whole training is well-structured and thoughtfully planned and we covered a large range of interesting topics. Jess did a wonderful job and gave us all the tools we needed to become yoga teachers. Highly recommend! - Sarah
We learned so much in just 200 hours! I started the training without knowing if I wanted to teach, but we were so well prepared that I had no more doubt in the end, and now I enjoy teaching! Jess is an amazing teacher and I wouldn’t hesitate to do the training again. Location and food are amazing too. - Jeanne
This YTT training is the best gift you can give to yourself, regardless of whether you plan to teach, or you just want to enrich your own practice and yoga knowledge. Choosing Jess’ YTT program was the best decision that I have made as an adult, second only to marrying my husband (in case he’s reading this). - Kotryna
I have the habit of thinking each time I start a new course/education: "Actually, I think I know a lot already. I hope it won't be boring." And I'm surprised each time how much I can still learn. The same applied to this YTT. I never thought that my horizon would widen that much and that I would come so much further in my Yoga journey. Jess is a fantastic teacher. She knows how to break down complex topics into simple and understandable pieces. You can feel her massive knowledge and many years of practical experience and she cares deeply for her students and she wants everyone to succeed in their own way. Jess teaches slow Vinyasa (flow) classes and Hatha classes. Personally, I used to do Yoga a lot faster and as a workout, but Jess showed me that there is a benefit in not pushing yourself to the limit, that Yoga is more than just stretching, and much more than doing fancy hand balance poses. In the modules, there is so much to learn, and more importantly, so much to unlearn. The biggest thing I had to unlearn was that there does not exist only black and white concepts when it comes to Yoga. There is no perfect pose alignment that will fit everyone. I have learned that Yoga is as much off the mat, in the ways you interact with others and yourself, as it is on the mat. The two times 12 days are intensive, but the effort is also rewarding. In the beginning, you might not be able to connect all the dots immediately. Jess said more than once that there’s "a method to the madness." And her method actually works: In the end, everyone was able to teach an amazing yoga class. Even if you don't want to teach, you can learn so much about your own Yoga practice and about yourself. This Yoga Teacher Training is an investment in yourself and I can wholeheartedly recommend Jess. - Gabriel
Jess is one of my favorite Yoga Teachers. I did the 200h Teacher Training with her, went to retreats and weekly classes. The classes are just amazing, very well structured and creative. I learned really a lot in the 200h YTT and feel really ready now to teach myself. Thank you Jess for this wonderful experience and for being such a nice human being! - Simone
Jess is a wonderful and extremely knowledgeable teacher who created a truly amazing experience during her yoga teacher training. Her teaching style and guest teacher selection, as well as the food and accommodation can only be described as nothing short of excellent. I'm really glad I choose your YTT program. You've done an amazing job to help me understand yoga better and make it part of my life rather than just practicing it on the mat. Thank you! - Saskia
This training has been such a valuable experience. The amount of knowledge and content Jessica delivered is just incredible. She has truly prepared us to actually teach yoga. I had done a yoga teacher training before and I can truly say they are worlds apart. If you want to take a training where you are ready to teach on all levels, this is it! - Dominique
I loved the YTT! I started out unsure if I would ever want to actually teach, and just did it for myself in the beginning, but Jess not only taught us all we needed to know, she also showed us how to teach it to others, let us practice, and ignited a passion for teaching yoga. I am happy to report that I have started teaching now since becoming a certified yoga teacher and I owe it all to Jessica and her teacher training. Besides the useful, well-structured content, I loved the beautiful and calm location and the delicious food that was provided for us. It was truly secluded and made a full immersion into the YTT possible. - Nadine
I loved my YTT with Jess. She’s such an incredible teacher and creates a very welcoming and cozy atmosphere, it’s a pleasure to learn with her! Unlike some other teachers she has a very open and inclusive mindset, she’s not dogmatic at all but still honors the origins and traditions of yoga. The training is beautifully compiled, you feel fully equipped for teaching because you learn the most incredible way of sequencing! Plus, because Jess is very interested in neuroscience, you even learn some bits about its link to yoga, especially the mind-body connection. Thank you so much Jess, this teaching was magical! - Angela
This 200 YTT divided in 2 modules was just magic, way better then what I expected. I came for a yoga teacher training but it was a lot more then just that. You learn a lot and you grow as a human to become better for you and others, so you can help and share the magic of yoga. Yoga is not just asanas it's much more then that so if you want to know more about it, don't hesitate come to this place. Jess is a wonderful teacher and she has so much to share ! What to say about the yoga shala, practicing yoga with an entire view over the swiss mountains in the Valais! Eating delicious vegetarian/ vegan food and meeting friends from all around the world. Just perfect :) What a magic experience! - Miriam
Thank you for this wonderful, sometimes challenging but very instructive and just amazing experience during our YTT. You guided us through our training with so much calmness and knowledge and you always tried to make us feel good and confident. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn so much more about yoga, to improve our practice and for holding space for us to grow more confident about being in front of a yoga class and guiding them through practice. - Ladina
Challenging and transformational, the YTT with Jess allowed us to benefit from rich perspectives, experiences and exchanges. We emerged with an understanding of many yoga aspects, including the logic of sequencing and flow. Phenomenal! - Susan
I’ve had Jess as my yoga teacher in Fribourg for the last years and she’s the reason why I chose to do this training. Knowing her from the yoga studio and her retreats, I knew this teacher training would be perfect! Every detail from the program to the accommodation is incredibly well thought and the human experience with her and the awesome group of people who also chose her couldn’t have been better. Thanks Jess for all you taught us and for taking so good care of us! - Maria
Honestly, I couldn't ask for a better yoga teacher than Jess. She teaches with so much passion and has a huge amount of knowledge. Everything was well structured and super organised. It was amazing and I am honored to be one of her students. - Anina
