“There was so much value, it's hard to choose one. I suppose the physical and mental growth that happened for me during this training, the community that was built with my fellow trainees, and how the training helped me grow as a teacher- these were all gems. Our trainees really cared and were very generous with their time and knowledge, and I am so grateful! Also, I love how we dove so deeply into the philosophy of yoga!”

“There is honestly so much that it’s a hard question to answer. Ultimately, the course showed us how to conquer difficulties, insecurities, and step into our power. We all can lead people to the end goal but how they get there is a personal and special journey. So happy to have gone through this with the amazing teachers we had and the support from the whole class and community.”
