Have you been thinking about applying for our upcoming 2023 Yoga Teacher Training? If so, what are your reasons? Why a yoga teacher training?
Some of our instructors have shared why they went through teacher training program and what they got from the experience.
Jeff spoke about what he was looking for, and how much more he received: “Deepening my understanding of the true meaning of yoga. How to realize this truth in my own life. I was surprised how deeply I was touched. Postures was a fraction of the experience. I received a much deeper look within myself. It cracked me open. I left with the tools to share this with others.”
Crystal explained her interest and what she gained from yoga teacher training: “I most looked forward to learning detailed break down of postures and anatomy. The biggest benefit of YTT was meeting some great, supportive women.”
Clarissa has seen how yoga teacher training has allowed her to not only grow, but to find deeper connections to others: “I knew early on I wanted to teach and explore the practice of yoga from a space of deep awareness. I took the first teacher training I could find that spoke to me. One of my favorite parts of teaching is connecting with people on a human and vulnerable level where we can all come to a space and change, up level and expand. I believe deeply that taking a yoga teacher training aligned me to the path of my destiny and is an element of my soul's purpose.”
Jacob was simply looking for a new experience and trusted the journey that yoga teacher training could take him on: “I chose to take teacher training not because I wanted to teach, but rather because I didn't know where to go next on my own path. I knew that intuition could lead me, but I also knew that I wasn't in a state to hear my intuition at the time. Yoga teacher training was my attempt to bring enough inner peace and self-knowledge to begin hearing that guidance. There's a lot more for me to figure out, but I now have faith in my ability to find the right path as I progress.”
Karen was a beginner yogi but knew right away that she wanted to learn more and share the possibilities that yoga provides with others. “I was astonished at how quickly I noticed changes in my whole self after I started doing just a few minutes of yoga and meditation everyday. I wanted to learn more and help others realize the same thing. What surprised me most about my own teacher training was the way that it taught me so much about myself and how I relate to others. To me, relationships are everything. My teacher training forced me to examine the relationship I have with myself and gave me the courage to continue looking inward. One of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself.”
