Kula’s Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training was a transformative experience and a true investment in myself. I highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to become a thoughtful and skilled yoga teacher or wishes to deepen their yoga practice both on and off the mat. Megan shared her knowledge gained from many years of experience and was always well-prepared to guide us through the content in a way that was interactive and easily digestible. The content itself was dynamic, including not only quality yoga instruction but also Sanskrit, energetics, and yoga history and philosophy. The training also emphasized building presentation skills and confidence. Megan created a safe and encouraging space for us all to feel comfortable and dive deep into the topics. Her YTT challenged me in the best way. I not only acquired the qualifications to teach Vinyasa yoga, but I also cultivated wonderful new friendships, increased my self-confidence, and fostered a stronger presence of yoga in my life. - Carolyn K

Megan's Yoga Teacher Training greatly exceeded my expectations. She keeps it fun, and really sets you up for success! I really enjoyed her teachings on the chakras!

Megan's teacher training was an excellent life & yogi experience! Taking this training has reinvigorated my passion for yoga. I've learned more about individual yoga poses (asanas) & alignment, talking in Sanskrit, yoga history and mythologies, learning to build my own yoga sequences and flows and so much more! I'm forever grateful to Megan for how much she has helped me grow as a yogi and person. Megan will always be a friend, instructor and mentor. Bonus that I've also created many new friendships with my fellow trainee cohorts. They've also added so many positive attributes to this training as a whole. I've grown in life, love, and yoga. All who are considering taking this training I whole-heartedly endorse Megan Rader yoga teacher training. -Heather J.
Megan's Yoga Teacher Training was beyond phenomenal. I think her strength lies in her willingness to be honest and authentic. Megan was always extremely planned out, and filled the sessions with meaningful content. She made herself accessible to us as students, and was great at giving feedback. Furthermore, we have all learned a yoga flow that we can expand upon, which I am not sure is a part of all teacher trainings. To have this in my back pocket as a flow I know in and out makes me feel more confident to go out into the yoga teaching world. It also helps me have a clear idea of how to plan for classes. I am extremely happy that I chose to do the Megan Rader Yoga Teacher Training, and will forever be changed because of it! -Karolina D.
Megan goes above and beyond in her yoga teacher training. This experience has been life changing and I am so honored I had the opportunity to learn under her. I have learned how to develop my own intelligent sequence, confidently speak to the breath, provide variations for poses, how to use props, how to cue, timing, music, history of yoga, and so much more. This TT was well thought out and executed perfectly. I highly recommend anyone to take Megan's yoga teacher training, you will LOVE every minute of it. -Sarah A.
Yoga teacher training has enhanced my life in so many ways. I've grown professionally because my words are concise and I remain calmer under pressure. I have also grown in my physical practice and have learned to be content with how my body responds each and every day. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and am so grateful for the relationships that I have formed. I look forward to the future, but also don't want it to come to an end! Thank you Megan for transforming my yogi life. -Natalie J.
