"Conquering Lion teachers are the absolute most prepared to teach. They come right out of their training and literally conquer students and studios alike. I said I would not hire anyone right out of teacher training but I was wrong. I have had two Conquering Lions on staff and they have been just as skilled as our other staff members, most of whom have been teaching for years."
"When we opened Yoga High we searched for dedicated, well-trained Yoga teachers. In our search of teachers, we found two Conquering Lion graduates who fit the bill. Each brought their own perspective and personality to the classes they taught, but it was clear that the sequencing and hands-on adjustments they learned in their teacher training supported the solid classes they taught. From our experience auditioning teachers from various trainings, Kelly Morris and Conquering Lion is doing a fantastic job of developing smart, gifted, well-trained Vinyasa teachers."
"The graduates from the Conquering Lion Yoga program are some of the best I've seen. They're fully qualified to teach all levels. We're thrilled to have them on staff at Three Jewels."
"The Conquering Lion graduate we have brings a sensitivity to her class that is very sincere and authentic. She is thoughtful in both her words and her sequencing, creating a space that's open, peaceful, and ripe for learning."
"The Conquering Lion graduates are beloved by the Bend & Bloom community! They seamlessly weave creative yoga sequencing with Buddhist mindfulness and meditation into each class.? Through extraordinary hands-on assists, the Conquering Lion Teachers help their students to connect with their physical and pranic bodies while sparking their curiosity about the deep, transformative power of yoga.? The teachers' training with Conquering Lion has helped their innate kindness, compassion, and creativity to shine!"
"I am deeply honored to be a graduate of Kelly Morris's 2008 Conquering Lion Yoga Teacher Training Program. This training has brought me to a deeper understanding of the true purpose of yoga: to help transform ourselves and our world completely. In essence, to be kinder and more compassionate towards all beings. The training was a comprehensive instruction on asana sequencing, breath, pranayama and ancient yoga texts."
"The world renowned and highly esteemed faculty were astounding and their teachings truly life changing. I am currently teaching throughout Manhattan at some of the best fitness clubs and studios in the city. I am forever grateful to Kelly Morris for this exceptional, once in a lifetime opportunity. This training was everything that I hoped it would be and more.”
"I whole-heartedly recommend the CLY Teacher Training Program to anyone- a person interested in becoming a yoga teacher, a long-time practitioner, or a novice simply interested in learning about yoga. With a faculty of esteemed experts, the CLY student will enrich his/ her practice with knowledge of yoga philosophy, Tibetan Buddhism, Sanskrit, meditation, anatomy, and more. No price or value can be placed on the immeasurable wealth of knowledge and wisdom one will gain from participating in this wonderful program."
"I couldn't recommend the CLY teacher training program enough. This program will change your worldview and make you a teacher who can help students to make real change in their lives. You will learn to teach asana with the best of them but to never lose sight of the bigger purpose of yoga: that yoga is a spiritual tradition that was developed to help people become enlightened and that has all the tools people need to find happiness. CLY is not messing around with anything less than this. There's no time to waste."
"The blessing of Kelly’s fiercely loving guidance has taken my teaching, my practice and my view of the world to new and profound heights. I am forever grateful for her kindness in creating this Program, for assembling a line-up of the greatest guest faculty teaching today, and for providing all the tools necessary to bring myself and every living being to the end goal of Yoga: a state of perfect happiness, or Enlightenment!"
"The Kelly Morris Conquering Lion TT program was more than I could ever have expected. Not only did my own practice deepen to a much greater level, but I emerged qualified to actually teach, which is not the case with most programs. The guest faculty is some of the best in the world, teaching philosophy that will literally blow your mind and world right open. I can honestly say my life has changed drastically from being a part of the program."
"The CLY Teacher Training Program gave me the confidence to go out and begin teaching immediately, with complete faith that we are passing on pure teachings from an unbroken lineage. I have always wanted to be a yoga teacher and I can honestly say that this program is the best investment I could have made towards that future. Through practical hands-on learning about the physical aspect of yoga and lessons on the philosophy that underpins a yoga practice, I now feel that I have a deep understanding of yoga as an inner and outer practice."
"My life changed dramatically the moment I entered the CLYTT, and six months after graduating, I have to say that my current life bears almost no resemblance to the one I was living a year ago! I am happily teaching full time, and am constantly receiving praise for my classes, which I owe fully to Kelly for her expert guidance. Through this program, I received not only all of the tools required to become a good yoga teacher, but also all of the tools necessary to truly practice yoga throughout every aspect of my life. Quite honestly, I don't think there's another program that provides both of these things in such a complete and thorough way."
"This training program is rich with philosophy, deep inner and outer methods, incredible practitioners, cherished friends, and some of the highest
"Thank You Lama Kelly on behalf of myself, the ancestors and the future generations for helping to preserve and protect the true Yogic lineage, the highest of esoteric teachings, intended to replace all of our ignorance and suffering with infinite bliss and eternal life.
"I feel humble and grateful to Kelly Morris for creating Conquering Lion Teacher Training program with an unwavering one-pointed goal to guide every single one of her students on the steps of the highest yogic path to enlightenment for the sake of every single being."
"I expected to learn a great deal about Yoga during this program, which I did, but was surprised at how much I learned about myself. Kelly and my fellow students taught me that Yoga is not just something we do on the mat from time to time but rather it is a way of life."
"Through the Kelly Morris Teacher Training Program I have learned how to prepare an asana class, give dharma talks and great assists, speak and chant in front of many people with confidence-all things I never was able to do before and important things to know how to do as a yoga teacher. But Kelly went beyond this and with knowledge directly transmitted through a pure and unbroken lineage, guided us into the transformative world of what yoga really is, how yoga works and how to truly practice it oneself to teach it correctly to others."
"The CLY Teacher Training has offered me more than I could hope for. Since the very first day, I felt blessed to finally come to a real teacher and dive into the miracles of Yoga. Covering the Eight Limbs of Master Patanjali's Yoga System, CLYTT is based firmly on the correct world view of karma and emptiness. With the foremost leading scholars of Sanskrit, Raja Yoga and Tibetan Buddhism of the Gelupka Lineage, this Teacher Training offers prospective yoga teachers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the best in the world!"
