“Teacher training really opened my eyes to the world of yoga by showing me so many different aspects of yoga that aren’t highlighted in a class. It covered the physical and spiritual teachings of yoga and how to go about teaching that in a class and you start teaching almost right away so you get a lot of practice in! They really want you to develop your teachings and help you do that in a supportive and communal way!”
