    Jess Rose is an amazing teacher and her 200 hour YTT is incredibly empowering. Jess shares tons of real, tangible knowledge that will leave you feeling ready to teach. More than a simple YTT, this program is a beautiful transformative journey in mind and body and definitely worth every single second of its 200 hours.

Movement Wisdom Yoga is the perfect combination of Asana, yoga philosophy and anatomy. Jess shares her knowledge in a very accessible fashion while sprinkling in fun and laughter. The co tent is rigorous and well organized including instruction in pranayama, meditation and chanting ( my personal favorite)… not to mention, Jess’s voice is Divine 💕 Even though this YTT is online, I feel known and connected. I’ve had personal conversations with Jess and attended her Q & A sessions via live zoom. If you are looking for a YTT-200 that is comprehensive, challenging and life-changing designed and taught by the most heart-centered humans, this is it!!! 10 �� So go for it! 👍🙏🧘��‍♀️~Namaste Full Review

I could not possibly more highly recommend Movement Wisdom to anyone seeking a 200HR YTT. I did quite a bit of research before deciding on Movement Wisdom, but as soon as I found MW and read about the program on the website, I was hooked and could instantly see the value that Jess and the rest of the MW team offer. I felt welcome before I even started. ALL of the mentors in the program are such beautiful humans and there is nothing but great vibes and love surrounding every interaction. Feedback on teaching is always given in a positive way, even when offering suggestions on ways to improve. No one is ever made to feel "less than" because of their physical/mental/etc abilities, and I always left teaching practices feeling empowered to keep going and inspired by my peers. The courses themselves are so enjoyable. Jess infuses just the right amount of fun into what can, of course, sometimes be quite serious topics of Yoga Philosophy, History, Spirituality, and even Anatomy, ha! Anatomy is taught in such a beautiful way, focusing on the truth that EVERY body is different, teaching how to offer modifications, and explaining how our unique bone structure can affect our own and our (future) students' practice. I could not be happier with my experience, and I would HIGHLY recommend the program to anyone seeking to deepen their yoga practice or considering teaching. Full Review
