I found yoga at a crisis point in my life. Or some might say - yoga found me. I was determined to find something to channel my energy into positive things; things that would uplift and empower me. Yoga was just that. The practice immediately resonated with me - it challenged my strength and flexibility and made me sweat a lot, but more than that, if left me feeling rejuvenated and balanced unlike any other workout. If those are the feelings you have after a yoga work out, yoga teacher training might be for you too.
Though I was initially drawn to the purely physical aspect of yoga, I realized that I had just scratched the surface of a much deeper, more profound, and utterly transformative practice. After having practiced yoga for only 3 months, I knew I wanted to become a yoga teacher. There was no way that I couldn't not explore this practice in more depth for myself, but also to be able to share it with others through teaching.
