“It’s no exaggeration to say that the Therapeutic Yoga Module was life-changing. The skills and information that I learned in that module changed how I hold my own body, how I practice yoga, how I teach yoga, and how I work with my clients’ bodies (I’m a massage therapist and bodyworker). Daily even now, I continue to use the skills and tools learned in that module because of how much they impacted and benefitted me. Kelly is a teacher who is easy to learn from because she is passionate about what she’s teaching, she’s focused and clear in how she communicates information, and she also cares about the students and their understanding of both the material as well as its applications for their own bodies. To state the obvious, I highly recommend this module with Kelly Haas.”

“I don’t think any other training can even come close to comparing with this training. I gained so much more insight and knowledge of the body and its mechanics during this training.

Kelly’s teachings are very clear, straight forward, and easy to follow.

Hearing the lectures, seeing through physical demonstrations, then getting to physically experience it in my body really made for an amazing learning experience! I can honestly still feel the residual effects!

I am a more skilled teacher and student because of Kelly’s teachings.

I recommend you gift yourself this opportunity!”

- Angela Bergeron, TTT grad 2019

“I can’t recommend Kelly’s trainings enough!

TTT is the most impactful training that I’ve attended and my confidence as a teacher significantly improved following this training.

It developed my conceptual understanding of anatomy and helped connect that knowledge to the physical sensations of the practice. It also gave me the vocabulary to help my students realize a more effective and supportive practice built upon core anatomical principles.

Kelly is a wonderful teacher and runs an efficient training – come ready to learn!”
