    Higher Love Yoga Academy was a great combination of online and in person training to suit busy schedules. Laying down the foundation and teaching from day one was reassuring that this course was committed to providing the knowledge and practice as we developed into yoga teachers. The online modules were a great way to get in the theory at our own paces but was informative and interesting, while the in person portions were fun, knowledgeable and a safe space to grow in our teaching and personal yoga practices. I highly recommend Higher Love Yoga Academy as it was a pivotal point in yoga community for me, not only was I receiving quality YTT and the tools to help with my own personal development but I walked away with many new friendships and a great support group of people.

    Incredible experience! Kristen is one of the best teachers I’ve had, she made YTT fun, easy to learn & was always accessible for any questions we had. Would recommend her teaching to all the Yogis out there. 🙏��

    I loved this training! My cohort, the content, the trainer. I really appreciate having a better understanding of yoga, but also about how the body works, how to practice safely, and what a more trauma informed/accessible practice looks like.

    Educator was very knowledgeable, stayed on schedule throughout the whole training and was supportive and available when needed. I completed the YTT feeling confident in my ability to teach and with an even deeper love for yoga and its meaning!

    The journey of becoming a certified yoga teacher was truly transformative, and it wouldn't have been possible without the exceptional guidance and support provided by the incredible teacher Kristen Kulak. She created a welcoming and nurturing environment that made it feel like home. The curriculum was comprehensive and well-structured. The sense of community and support within the classmates was remarkable. I made strong friendships with my fellow trainees, and we all cheered each other on throughout the challenging moments of the training. I can wholeheartedly recommend Higher Love Academy to anyone looking to embark on their yoga teacher training journey. It's a place where you'll not only gain the knowledge and skills to become a certified yoga teacher but also undergo a beautiful personal transformation.

    The school was great. I loved the price and how intimate the classes were. Also really loved how we were taught about not being judgmental and being kind is so important.
