My experience at the Long Island Yoga School was a very positive one. I have successfully completed the 300-hour program given by Laurie Ahlemann. Her presentation was excellent, and the course was well structured. Thank you, Laurie, for helping me to improve my personal practice and teaching skills. I would recommend your program to anyone who would like to get a higher education in the Ancient Science of Yoga.

Excellent training! Laurie Ahlemann is a fantastic teacher! She naturally connects with her students, and shares her vast, extensive knowledge of yoga in a relaxed and fun setting. Also, her programs are structured in a way that makes it very manageable for all, no matter how busy you are. I highly recommend this training!”

It is with heartfelt thanks and gratitude that I express what a great and wonderful experience it was to participate in the 300/500 hour program. The asana labs and sequence lectures were very informative, easy to comprehend, and will continue to be a factor towards my teaching in years to come. – RYT 500

What students are saying about LIYS
This training is one of the best decisions I ever made!
I recently completed the Prana Shakti Flow 200 hour teacher training with Laurie Ahlemann and I truly cannot say enough about this amazing experience. The program is structured in a way that makes it manageable for everyone – even those with the busiest lives!
Laurie is a gifted teacher who naturally connects with her students, and she shares her extensive knowledge of yoga in a down to earth, relaxed and fun way. Within a few months, she taught me how to properly sequence a yoga class for all students – from the true beginner to the more advanced practitioner.
The way in which Laurie designed this program using basic, easy to understand sequence formats enabled me to quickly embrace the idea of teaching yoga.
Although there was a lot of information to absorb throughout the training, Laurie would always somehow lead us back to the sequence format where it all would make sense!
I can honestly say that taking the Prana Shakti Flow teacher training was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made – and to say that I highly recommend this program is an understatement!

Laurie believed in me from day one!
When doing my research for a 200 hour program, I found Long Island Yoga School and after meeting with the owner, Laurie I decided to enroll and it was the best decision I have ever made. I was nervous to begin as I have never practiced yoga in a studio and only had a home practice, but Laurie believed in me from day one. She creates a very comfortable and nurturing environment for her students to learn. At the end of the 200 hour program. I feel comfortable and confident in the teacher I have become. I cannot say enough good things about this program and Laurie. It is an amazing experience to become the best teacher you can and really deepen your own practice. I am now signed up to do her 300 hour program and cannot wait to start!

I can create sequences more efficiently saving me a lot of time and doubt!
I really loved my teacher training with Laurie Ahlemann of Long Island Yoga School. As time goes by, I love it even more because of the results I see in the classes I teach. The feedback that I receive from my students is overwhelmingly positive. They appreciate the knowledge of the alignment of the postures, the precise cueing and instructions, the energetic balancing of the sequences, the effective, safe assists and the philosophy weaved into the classes. I was able to fine tune all these aspects of a class through my training with Laurie. Another improvement that I noticed, is that I am able to plan my sequences much more efficiently with the guidelines that I was given saving me a lot of time and doubt. Each day I feel gratitude for all the knowledge and guidance that I received from Laurie. I highly recommend the Long Island Yoga School teacher training programs.
