Left us in a place where we as students have become even more curious and want to learn even more about Yoga

It is a privilege to learn under Sue Hopkins and her team at Etowah Valley Yoga. Sue is a very patient and learned teacher who is willing and open to share her experience and knowledge of the Yoga way of living with all her students. She exceeded my expectations on the 200 RYT program. When we finished with her, Sue left us in a place where we as students have become even more curious and want to learn even more about Yoga- a great place to be after 200 RYT I wish Etowah, Sue and her team the best of luck for the future! Thank you...

Was sad when it finished

I loved the 200 hour YTT at Etowah Valley Yoga and was sad when it finished. Sue Hopkins provided a wealth of knowledge on all things yoga, including yoga asana, philosophy, and history. She was generous with her time and encouraging of all students. She was assisted at times by two other teachers who were also friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about yoga. I would highly recommend this course to anyone, and especially if you have an interest in alignment-based hatha.

My training was personal & superior.

My training was personal & superior. All instructors were very thorough. We covered a very broad range of material presented in a way that made learning and understanding comfortable and accessible. We left with very strong foundations from which to grow as teachers.

EVY's 200 hr Teacher Training is a complete, reliable, and thorough class

I feel lucky to have found such a dedicated, knowledgeable, and motivated instructor and mentor, Sue's experience shows in every class I take from her. Through the years, I've learned to love Yoga guided by Sue's expertise, and the EVY 200 hr Teacher Training is a complete, reliable, and thorough class for anyone interested in moving forward in this field! Thank you Sue, you made the difference!

Quality teachers of a broad range of topics to the studio for teacher training.

Etowah Valley Yoga brings quality teachers of a broad range of topics to the studio for teacher training. The weekend workshops give students both theory and practical knowledge and we get the opportunity to apply what we've learned during the weekend. The Chakra Retreat Susan puts together is a wonderful experience. Daily lectures, meditations and asana in a beautiful setting with like-minded people, truly a retreat to savor and repeat! I highly recommend Etowah Valley Yoga for 200-hr and 300-hr students, and those who desire to move beyond 500-hr certification.

Etowah Valley Yoga is where my passion for yoga found direction and focus.

Etowah Valley Yoga is where my passion for yoga found direction and focus. I have learned so much more than I could have ever imagined. The instructors are skilled and passionate in their fields but even rarer is that they are great teachers. I have never once had a question be "too much" or never once have i felt like I couldn't ask for clarifications. This school and it's teachers are truly a gem and I am proud to have learned here and will be proud to continue to do so for as long as I can.

I really enjoyed my experience

I really enjoyed my experience in Yoga Teacher Training at Etowah Valley Yoga. I liked the scheduling with the training spread out over 9 months. I felt it gave me time to absorb the material and integrate it into my practice.

I learned so much from Lisa

I highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in learning more about yoga, even if they do not plan to teach. Going into the program, I wasn't sure if I would like to teach, but the training and support I received from the teachers and my fellow classmates convinced me that I would. I learned so much from Lisa and from attending classes with other Etowah Valley Yoga teachers throughout the months of training. The teacher training program at EVY is amazing.

I am so grateful to have started my teaching journey here

Etowah Valley Yoga helped me build a quality foundation in teaching alignment based yoga. Lisa Siniard was our Yoga Mama. Her experience and passion for yoga shine! She made many resources available to scratch all the surfaces of yoga. I experienced not only learning asanas, pranayama, and meditation techniques, but also opportunities to dive into philosophy, anatomy, how to keep students safe, and create a space where yoga is accessible to everyone with the use of props and careful attention to cues. We participated in fun workshops such as Sanskrit, Mudras, and Ayurvedic Studies. Juicy stuff! The staff here is always learning and supportive in aiding new students to be their best. The studio is warm, lovely, and inviting (smells divine - take a big inhale!), offering a variety of classes at various times. With 2 studios, one average temperature and the other hot, there is something for everyone here. It was so wonderful to experience so many classes from different teachers. There is a family atmosphere in Cartersville, GA. I am so grateful to have started my teaching journey here and hope to continue learning from all of the staff and students here.
