Student stories

What people carry home.

The same things come up year after year: structure, honest self-inquiry, community that lasts, and a clearer sense of how to serve.

I have been teaching ever since.

“My 2016 YTT training with Jill Knouse and the Elevate teacher training team was a life-changing experience! I met and connected with beautiful humans, with whom I still connect at my kids' birthday parties, for tea, a walk in the woods, or on the mat… I discovered how much I loved teaching and the bliss on students' faces after teaching a class, and I have been teaching ever since graduating from the program.”

E.L.

She helped me trust myself.

“Jill has been a teacher, mentor and friend to me for many years, and is someone with deep and true integrity… She reminded me of my strengths and helped me trust myself, while also offering a deep well of knowledge from her abundant experience as a teacher and business owner which gave me confidence and clarity. Most importantly, it helped me feel I wasn't alone in what I was creating.”

E.W.

She helped me find my voice.

“My curiosity for yoga led me to sign up for her training programs, both Elevate the mentorship as well as the 200 hr. teacher training. Jill provided the tools I needed to further my knowledge about yoga as well as identify my strengths and weaknesses that helped me improve as a yoga teacher and also grow as a person… She helped find my voice and to be authentically myself when teaching instead of being scripted and dogmatic.”

S.G.

It cracked me open.

“Elevate Yoga Trainings was one of the most powerful things I've ever done for myself. It cracked me open on so many important levels, while providing the structure and support to lovingly support me along the way. Jill's journal assignments have been masterfully crafted and sequenced — you will find your edges, but that's where the good stuff happens!”

D.S.

Incomparable to any other teacher training.

“The structure of the program helped me define intentions behind my teaching, how and what I wanted to offer my students, and how to go about goal setting and make things happen. I am grateful for Jill's warmth, guidance and mentorship — her ability to give constructive, articulate feedback on all aspects of our teaching, as well as offer support right when we needed it most.”

J.S.

Clarity about my own teaching.

“Through this amazing process, I have gained clarity and insight into my unique teaching style and how to let that shine through. Jill made herself available and open to feedback, ideas and requests every step of the way. I'd recommend Elevate to anyone — no matter what level of teacher they believe themselves to be.”
