Enrolling in a200 hour yoga teacher training yoga alliance was one of the most important experiences of my life. Prior to taking the course, I believed that yoga was mostly about physical activity and flexibility, but the program completely changed my understanding of the practice. Throughout the curriculum, I learned about anatomy, yoga philosophy, breathing techniques, meditation, and mindful living. The kind and supportive environment made everyone feel comfortable and connected. Learning and personal growth are the shared goals of people from all backgrounds. In addition to improving as a yoga practitioner, I also gained greater self-awareness, inner peace, and confidence by the end of the course.
