Testimonials

“I discovered the Yoga Goddess Academy last summer via Facebook/Instagram. It has forever changed my life. Not only have a found a community of wonderful yogis and finally found my “tribe” I am also currently enrolled in their Yoga Teacher Training program and will be a Certified Yoga Instructor in August! Crystal is an amazing teacher and I am so thankful that I found this group!”

Caitlin Schneider

“The philosophy modules on her website are very dense, with little fluff. There are dates, history, and cultural observances. You can go at your own pace and soak up the material. ”
