Joining a yoga teacher training is one of the most life-transforming experiences for most people. It is probably the first time (ever, or after a long time) that one takes the chance to focus on themselves to such an extent. The truth is that a lot of the work has already happened by taking the decision to go to a training, not a class, not a weekend, not a retreat, but a few weeks long yoga teacher training. You are already committing to caring about you, creating the circumstances to be your focus, and at the same time learning something new, challenging your body and mind, challenging some of your world views even. This training is an immersive experience of learning the depth of Yoga and becoming ready to pass it on to others.
