3 unexpected benefits of enrolling in yoga teacher training 

1. Life Long Friends   

You've got your friend and you've got your yoga friends, your sangha.

At first, you start as 10-12 yogis looking to deepen your practice but by the end of the training you have forged lifelong friendships with people who have supported you as you stepped way out of your comfort zone. This new friend group only know you as the yogi you are aspiring to be and you get to relate to them in the same way! Together you all work out your new yoga knowledge and philosophical questions. 

Of course, you can't stop life from happening because you have signed up for a teacher training- so you will also go through life changes with these people and discover new ways of dealing with joy, trauma, and the drama- in the moment. 

2. Remind yourself of how truly expansive you really are!

For many of us, we have not had to juggle this many responsibilities at once in AGES. We're used to doing our regular life with the freedom to roam and have an adventure on Saturday afternoon if we like.

Choosing to buckle down, learn a new skill, and become familiar with a new language- Sanskrit is no small feat. You are only limited by your belief in your own capacity.

3. Strength your commitment to your OWN well-being and personal growth.

We all know you’re supposed to put the mask on yourself first! Even though 50% of students who do teacher training have no desire to teach after the training is over- 100% of student receive a benefit to their personal practice. Many want to deepen their knowledge of yoga philosophy, meditation and asana. They want to dive deeper than you can in a 75 minute class. 

You will learn meditation, and pranayama as well as getting invaluable personalized feedback on your own yoga practice. It's a great time to dive deep into your self- in a safe and supporting space.
