I completed a 200 hour teacher certification program with Debbie at Midwest Power Yoga and cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience. I decided on Debbie's program as it focused on providing participants with real hands-on teaching experience and that is exactly what I got. We started teaching on Day 1, not only teaching fellow trainees but also getting to teach classes at Midwest Power Yoga and even go to the local high school in-town to teach 100+ students. Debbie is not only a fantastic teacher but is also extremely supportive both during the training and after you complete it. Since I I left the program, Debbie has been willing to serve as a reference for me and also has given me the opportunity to be published on her website. I completed the training in August, moved to a new city, and am currently teaching 7 classes per week at three different places. Without Debbie's training and support, I know that would not be possible. read more

I have practiced and trained with Debbie and I have nothing but respect for her and her team. I am not exactly sure what John is referring to in his review, but I was ONE man in a training program with 10 other women. I was never ignored, treated with "disdain" or "neglect". I fact, I was treated like I was member of Debbie's family. All of us in the teacher training program were. We all of expectations and stories about what a yoga teacher training should be. Debbie and her time fulfilled all of my expectations and I was teaching in a studio - and on a schedule - before the training ended. A major part of being a yoga teacher is being un-messable. This means getting out of your own way. When you drop your expectations, your need to know, need to be right, need to look good, AND just be - that happens. Debbie's program, her team, and the entire Midwest Power Yoga community taught me that. read more

Deborah Williamson, owner of Midwest Power Yoga and co-founder of Live Love Teach is one of the most generous people and teachers I have encountered in my years of practicing and teaching yoga. She shares her expertise and knowledge openly, empowering us to be us! I have worked side by side with Deborah on several Live Love Teach modules over the past 2 years, and it is always fresh, spontaneous, fun, and guaranteed laughter. I highly recommend Deborah as a go to source, a teacher's teacher, whether it's for yoga training, personal training, or coaching. I always come away learning something new and applicable to my personal yoga practice as well as a yoga studio owner and teacher.

I did my 200 hour teacher training with Debbie the summer of 2010. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Before I went to training I had done a Yoga Life Coaching weekend and trip to Costa Rica with my husband (his mind was blown) and we both had great life changing experiences. Since those then I have almost completed my 500 hour teacher training with Debbie and her Live Love Teach partners and again had such wonderful experiences. I can't wait to be able to go on another trip to enhance my teaching as it always does but more importantly my life. Debbie is a strong and empowering woman and whenever I'm around her I feel empowered to step up my game and look deeper to decide "what next?". I actually NEED another training to bump my life up a notch. Thanks Debbie! You're the best! read more

My husband and I traveled to Florida as I won a trip to attend the Yoga Coach training. Debbie's team and Mindy B were very welcoming, creating a space of knowledge and encouragement for all. Although, my husband was not part of the training, he did attend a few of the events, and Debbie and her team were interactive and genuine as if he was apart of the training group. "Neglect," treated with "Disdain," this is very hard to believe. As part of the private coaching group on FB, which includes a significant number of members, I have read nothing but positive feedback and appreciation of people's training experience. My husband and I are looking forward to our next adventure with Debbie and her team! read more

My name is Mike, and I have been a student in the 200 hour training program with Deb Williamson. I felt like I got great personal attention in the training, and the community of people I was able to meet and interact with were amazing. The training was well organized, had great guest speakers, was challenging and healthy for me in many ways. I have been practicing as a Chiropractor for nearly 30 years, and am impressed with the safety and strength building components of Midwest Power Yoga's training. I encourage anyone interested in learning more about Yoga to investigate Midwest Power Yoga by attending a class at their Sheboygan Falls facility. read more

Meeting Debbie is one of the best things that has happened for me personally and my career. I am a personal trainer turned yogi! I was apart of her teacher training and it was a fantastic experience. I could not be more thankful to Debbie and her team for opening my eyes to Yoga and how it can benefit daily life physically and mentally. Taking a class with Debbie will open you up to a whole new idea of the things you are capable of. I will forever be in debt to Debbie for all that she has done for me so far! I can not wait to keep growing in the Yoga and Fitness industry with the help of Debbie and Midwest Power Yoga! read more

Debbie was my first yoga teacher. I have since then taken several trainings with her , facilitated trainings with her and have brought her to my studios to train my teachers. Debbie treats me like her sister...speaking honestly, and with compassion so that I can grow into my best self, living my best life and serving as many people on my way as possible. I have a hard time giving recommendations for sub-par teachers, or just okay experiences. If you are open to being coached, your life will change into everything you've envisioned when working with Debbie in yoga or life (which essentially are the same). read more

I have done several programs with Debbie and have even been one of her FITs (Facilitator-In-Trainig). Debbie has a gift of seeing what your strengths are and bringing them out. She constantly inspires you to be your best, most brightest self and tells you how to do that. Debbie is practical- she gives you tools to help you create the life you want to live. I highly recommend working with Debbie in whatever capacity you can, in yoga, coaching, cleanses etc... You will be amazed at what you create after doing a program with Debbie. read more

Deborah Williamson has helped me transform my life and has given me the courage to teach. I have travelled from Cleveland, OH multiple times to learn from Debbie and have a few more training programs planned for down the road. Not only have I become a good teacher but a much better person! I have learned to live my life from love, not fear and will be forever grateful to Debbie! I cannot recommend ANY program she is a part of high enough! read more

I have been practicing with Debbie for several months now, and as a newbie to yoga and to yoga body bootcamp, i cannot say enough good about Debbie and her work. She loves what she does and she passes this on to others thru her work. She helps me be better, not only in my yoga, but finding my focus. If you have a chance to take a class or training from Debbie, I do not think you will be disappointed! read more
