I was apprehensive before teacher training about my capacity to teach. What I didn’t realize was that I was immersing myself in a 12-week course of self-actualization and discovery. Alongside studying anatomy, philosophy, and diverse yoga styles from some of the best teachers in SoCal, I learned to meditate, clear my mind, and re-examine old beliefs. This training created a safe, loving space for true personal growth that extends far beyond the physical practice.
