Testimonial
"I originally signed up for YTT because I was curious and wanted to deepen my understanding of the practice. I also wanted to be able to share my passion with others, yet I didn't know if I had it in me to become a teacher. After the first weekend, I knew that I would be given all the tools I needed. All I had to do was show up every single time and practice like my life depended on it. I sure did and I still do it.
I have been told many a time that my enthusiasm and my passion are contagious. I feel I am on fire. My own practice is so much stronger as I keep studying every day, paying more attention to tiny details as my awareness expands. And now that I started teaching, I am so humbled to be leading the students and watching them grow on their own. It is extremely rewarding. I am so very grateful to have had the opportunity to go through Teacher Training and be a part of this community. It is definitely a life-changing experience."
