Testimonials
“Along with finding my voice as a teacher, my personal practice has deepened beyond expectation. New Love curates such a beautiful community of beautiful people, and I'm honored to have joined the ranks of teacher training graduates. Instructors KNOW THEIR STUFF and take the teaching of teachers very seriously. I couldn't imagine taking this training anywhere else.”
- Gina, Fall 2024 Graduate
”The NLC 200 hour yoga teacher training course was one of the most fulfilling things I have done. Throughout the course I deepened my own practice, learnt so much more than I anticipated, was given all the tools I need to become a teacher and made lifelong friends. This is something I will benefit from for the rest of my life. All of the teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. I would highly recommend this course (even if you’re not looking to be a yoga teacher)!”
- Bree, Fall 2024 Graduate
“This teacher training changed my life for the better. I would recommend this teacher training for everyone. Not just for those interested in deepening their knowledge of yoga but also those interested in building community and learning about themselves. The love and care that the teachers pour into this program and their community is palpable. I feel grateful and honored to have been a part of this journey.”
- Serrana, Fall 2024 Graduate
New Love City is excited to announce our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training for 2025! Join Conor Yates, Be Leigh, Keela Williams, Edie Shipler, Manzell Glover and Lulu Soni in a teacher training program that fosters connection to a vibrant and joyful community in the heart of Greenpoint.

*Yin Yoga is an ancient movement art developed to integrate meditation with slow movements allowing for strength and vitality in the entire body-mind system. Working specifically with the body's main 12 meridians and its most key organs, the aim is to clear the path from the inside out—allowing for optimal flow of all systems. Through this slower style of longer holds, time and gravity and one's intuitive wisdom create a practice that has proven to be both healing and rejuvenating.
