If you have an interest in becoming a yoga teacher, search no further. I came to this class only wanted to learn more about yoga, but I’ve been inspired by Lex and Farida to teach in the near future. Enjoyed every minute of class and came home everyday with a heart full of love and aspirations. Best decision I’ve made this year was taking a week off from my corporate job to show up here. The earlier you get this training the longer your life will benefit from it. Once you’re a student, you can come back to it anytime for free. We had a few past students joined us during our training.Lex is one of the few first-gen yoga teachers in America who contributed tremendously to the practice, and is super passionate about passing on the knowledge to younger teachers. This is probably the best yoga teaching course - or yoga course - available, but he only charges a fraction of cost to the bunch of chained studios’ trainings out there. Amazing experience with the most wonderful people. Impossible to rate less than 5 stars!

My husband and I both just completed the yoga training course with Lex and Farida, and truly, our lives will never be the same. We look forward to opening our own yoga studio in Conroe, Texas in the near future and feel prepared to do so, supported by the community, and armed with excellent education. We believe the training we received was invaluable, and as a plus, made long lasting connections that feel more like family than anything else. Every single day was met with excitement, and was well-thought out and prepared - with the more than obvious curricula of an advanced yogi master. Thank you, Lex for answering the call to pass on your knowledge and to share it with us so that we can keep it going - in an environment of joy, love, an non-judgement!Palms up!!

What an incredible week with Lex! I have never been challenged physically & mentally as I was learning from Lex Gillan. I was so proud of myself for giving my all, although he pushes us to step out of our comfort zone, and gain conviction to teach a class. It was an honor to be taught by a true Yoga Guru who also worked alongside Ram Dass. Just WOW. One of the best things I've ever experienced and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to pursue Yoga, for pleasure or to teach. Farida too, was amazing! Thank you both for a wonderful week of pain and pleasure! I am thrilled to now be certified and to teach others all about Yoga.

I took Lex’s Yoga instructor class and am very happy I did. The class was small and intimate. The group was mixed with a variety of ages, ethnicities and experience levels. Lex is full of great knowledge and experience that he willingly shares in his trainings. He is clever and witty and daily class was full of useful information. His assistant instructor, Farida demonstrated beautiful, properly aligned poses that made it easier to visualize and articulate to my students how the pose should feel. She brought her experiences and I hope to be able to take her class at Discovery Green in the future.Overall this YTT was one of the best yoga trainings I have been through. From yoga history, meditation, flows and forgettable flows to the business of teaching yoga, no question was left unanswered. I am grateful I found Lex Gillian and the yoga Institute. He is certainly a yoga treasure.

Lex teaches a broad, authentic training with experience going back to his early days doing Yoga some 50 years ago! As a former Yoga teacher at Ram Dass Retreats to opening the first strip mall based Yoga studio in Houston, Texas in the 1970s, Lex has been on the forefront of the Yoga movement in the United States. Highly recommended teacher with a lot to share with younger Yogis!

I have heard about The Yoga Institute for years, and one of my yoga teacher friends recently received his training there. I have taken this yoga teacher's class, and so enjoyed it. The same yoga teacher invited me to come take an advance yoga teacher training at The Yoga Institute, and I've come to really enjoy the depth of training, the ability to interact with esteemed yoga, meditation teachers. Thank you Uncle Lex for continuing to provide quality training! Gail Pickens-Barger, NACYT, ERYT500

I completed my 200 hr yoga teacher training with Lex and absolutely loved every second. Lex is an amazing teacher/leader and he also brought in additional teachers to give us new perspectives and ideas. I felt very comfortable to make mistakes and ask questions, which creates a wonderful learning environment. Don't hesitate to change your life, thanks Lex!

Training with Lex, starting in 2005 has changed my life. I’ve now owned my studio for 15 years and still attend his advanced trainings anytime I can! I highly recommend, especially folks looking for depth and experience.
