Past Participant’s Comments

“I would encourage all yoga teachers to experience Peggy Cappy’s teacher training “Yoga For The Rest of Us”. Peggy’s genuine, gentle warmth shines through and she enables you to see your own unique strengths…”

“Peggy is a fantastic leader. I feel more empowered as a yoga teacher as a result of attending this training.”

“I just completed Peggy’s 5 day “Yoga for the Rest of Us” teacher training.  I am thrilled with my experience.   Peggy’s approach provides poses that are gentle, effective and most importantly, possible for those who might believe yoga and its benefits are beyond their reach.  The training is perfectly paced, thorough, and left me with the confidence that I am ready to teach this beautiful yoga.  I came to the training to learn ‘Yoga for the Rest of Us’ and in the process experienced my own transformation as a teacher and yoga practitioner. Peggy is truly a master teacher who wraps her entire process in love and acceptance.“
