200 RYT

My training has had a strong positive impact on my personal practice of yoga, my emotional and spiritual sides, and my ability to teach. I enjoy yoga even more now that I know correct techniques. The reading and discussions of the sutras has been very meaningful and impactful. It's given me a new framework for viewing my life. I didn't expect this new insight when I started the class. Finally, I know I can now teach a yoga class. I'm glad we had to teach each month. It gave me the confidence to know I can do it.

I've learned a great deal from others' styles and preferences; every class taught me many new ideas, strengths, ways of being, doing, thinking about, and practicing. Many wonderful and inspiring insights resulted for me. This is a fabulous group, a highly diverse group of dedicated yogis who take yoga seriously while also having fun with it. This has been life-changing for me - the social and intellectual and the visual and kinesthetic aspects have enormously enriched my understanding of practice as an individual and as a teacher. Wish it wasn't over!

I am now more aware of the key components of each asana, including muscles that need to be stretched and strengthened - and more important to me - how to avoid injury. The vast numbers of variations, adjustments, adaptations, and use of props so creatively has opened my eyes and will continue to inspire me to seek out more and more information. This training has been a great step for me in my own practice to bring more honest awareness in what's happening in this body and mind during practice.
