The teacher training program was life changing for me. My whole outlook on life has become more positive. I feel truly blessed to have gone through the program at the Center for Health and Healing. My teacher, Dawn, is extremely knowledgeable in the physical as well as the mental aspects of everything yoga is and what it represents. I will definitely continue with my 500 hour certification as soon as they offer it at the center. Namaste. Jody Maffei Bricktown NJ

The 200 hour teacher training program at the Center for Health and Healing has been a truly transformative journey for me. My life has been inriched on every level, from the physical, to the mental and the spirtual. Participating in the teacher training program was the best choice I have made so far on my spirtual journey because not only has it brought me knowledge and inner growth but it has also brought me into a wonderful, helpful, fun and loving yoga community that will continue enriching my life and supporting my practice long after graduation. I thank my inspirational and compassionate teacher Dawn Keen for allowing me this pricless opportunity. Namaste. Lauren Nagy 19 Bricktown NJ

I wasn't sure what to expect when I began the teacher training progam. Well the training program was great - providing a foundation in the history of yoga, yogic philosophy, anatomy and of course, lots of asana practice. All of these things have enriched my own practice and I'm very grateful for that. The practice teaching, creating a variety of yoga lesson plans, learning Sanskrit names for seventy-five postures, are the tools that I need to begin teaching. Nothing can replace experience which will only come with teacing many classes but the practical experience in the program has given me the confidence to start teaching. I loved all the guest teachers- I was challenged by Christopheray, inspired by Rosemary, and just so fortunate to have all the other teachers too- Carolyn, Stephanie, Kelly, Dave,Jeff- all just created such a balanced program. The trip to Kripalu and seeing Krishna Das couldn't have been any better. Dawn you've put together an excellent program and I really appreciate all the planning and hard work you put into it. One other thought too- I've really enjoyed all my classmates. This was an experience that will remain one of the most memorable of my life!!!! Much Thanks Pally Allen 50 Ocean Gate NJ

I am extremely grateful to the Center (and Dawn) for the opportunity to earn my 200-hour teacher training certificate. Not only has the teacher training allowed me to deepen my yoga practice and study, it became a process in self-study and spiritual journey. I feel as though yoga is a gift given to me and the teacher training has allowed me the return that gift to others. Kelly Toms River NJ

I  loved everything about the teacher training program. I learned so much about yoga, myself, others, and the Universe. It helped to guide me in finding my inner strength to get through life's challenges. I look at the world in a whole new way and find a gift in each day. Karen Bricktown NJ

I must say that I had a unique experience in your yoga program.  I was the only guy and felt like the only guy in the beginning. However, as days flew by during the program I felt less like the only guy and more like an integral part of a yogi family.  The program introduced me to fantastic people who gave off lots of positive energy and I just soaked it up!  Thanks again for the wonderful experience.  It has opened new doors to me well beyond being a yoga instructor.

The TT program is a journey.  Not only did I learn how to teach yoga, but I learned how to live yoga - how to integrate the practice and philosophy of yoga into my every day life. Dawn opened her heart and shared her experiences to provide me with a foundation of yoga and a realistic view of what it is to be a yoga teacher. Dawn guided me to find my own yogic path and yoga style. Dawn provided me with an opportunity to meet and learn with different instructors and introduced me to the yoga community. The TT program allowed me to be creative and explore the options available in the world of yoga. Thanks! Rachel Saddlebrook

The Yoga Teacher Training at The Center for Health and Healing brought me to new depths in my own yoga practice and also prepared me as a new teacher. This program and the atmosphere of The Center helped me to find and continue along my yoga journey, and I am forever grateful. Jill Karatz
