MY TAKEAWAY with our ytt teachers
Nasreen Attending my yoga teacher training was like escaping the day to day and traveling into the world of deepening into my own being. After each time, I left feeling spiritually fulfilled and connected, full of the vibrancy of how I would hold space when I taught, and the excitement of what was to come. Being in a place where you can open all the layers of your being while tapping into the compassion for all humanity is a true gift.
Kayla Signing up for my 200 YTT was the beginning of a whole new life for me. While my intention was to learn about the physical postures to improve my personal practice, what I actually received was invaluable. My training took me to the depths of my soul, not only learning about the mental, emotional and spiritual effects of the practice, it provided me with a mirror. I became able to see myself through a new, loving lens and it’s changed the way I show up in EVERY way. My relationship with myself, my family, friends and even strangers. I’ve adopted SANTOSHA, pure contentment, recognizing that is the path towards true bliss. This journey is far more than a simple training, it’s SOUL deep. If you feel the call, then we’re here to support you on your journey🧡
Juliet Taking a yoga teacher training was a transformative experience that helped me heal and reconnect with myself on a deeper level. Through the practice, self-reflection, and teachings, I began to release emotional blocks and rebuild a healthier, more compassionate relationship with myself. For the first time, I feel like I truly listened to my body, honored my inner voice, and embraced who I was without judgment. Before starting the training, I felt uncertain about my path and lacked a sense of true purpose. But as I immersed myself in the journey, I discovered a genuine passion for yoga, teaching, and personal growth—something I hadn’t experienced before. It was more than just a certification; it was the beginning of a new, more aligned chapter of my life.
Alexa Enrolling in yoga teacher training was the turning point that led me into an entirely new chapter of my life. Although I had a steady practice and appreciated the physical benefits of yoga, I had no idea how profoundly transformative the training would be. It challenged me in the most beautiful and unexpected ways—shifting how I moved, how I thought, and ultimately how I showed up in the world. It helped me peel back layers, uncover my most authentic self, and find a voice I didn’t know I had. I carry the impact of that experience with me every single day, and I truly wouldn’t be who I am without it. ✨ Laura Being a ‘yes’ for yoga teacher training was completely out of my comfort level, and I tried my hardest to tell myself why it just wasn’t for me over and over and over…all excuses. In actuality, it was the fear of the unknown. I finally told myself it’s now or never and I took the leap!
YTT was the most freeing and healing gift to my mind, body and inner self that I didn’t know I needed. I unlearned the past and re-learned to meet myself here and now as is, to embrace the present moment to its fullest , and always do your best per The Four Agreements which was such a significant read and moment during YTT. This training not only deepened my practice but it was a sacred journey to and for my heart that guides me on and off my mat.
Know that you are ready, you are supported and each of you are already loved. I can’t wait to meet you!
Lando My yoga teacher training was a pivotal experience that directly led me to my current role as a breath work facilitator. Beyond that, it profoundly impacted my personal journey, helping me discover strength and purpose within my own yoga practice. This new found foundation has since empowered me to serve as a mentor and teacher to other yogis, allowing me to find strength and inspiration in their practices as well. 🎶 Are you curious?

Unlocking Inner Peace: The Ancient Wisdom of Breathwork (Pranayama)
Have you ever noticed how your breath changes with your mood? Short and shallow when stressed, deep and slow when relaxed? This isn't a coincidence – it's a profound connection that ancient yogis understood thousands of years ago.
In the vast tapestry of yoga philosophy, beyond the physical postures (asanas) we often associate with yoga, lies the incredible power of Pranayama – the conscious control of our breath. The word "Pranayama" itself is a beautiful fusion: "Prana" meaning life force or vital energy, and "Ayama" meaning extension or control. It's not just about inhaling and exhaling; it's about harnessing the very essence of our existence. Why is this ancient practice so relevant today?
In today's fast-paced world, stress, anxiety, and scattered minds are common. Pranayama offers a powerful antidote, a path to:
Calm your nervous system: Shift from "fight or flight" to relaxation, hitting the reset button for mind and body.
Enhance mental clarity and focus: Clear mental fog, improving concentration and decision-making.
Boost energy and vitality: Invigorate your body, improving circulation and oxygen flow.
Cultivate emotional regulation: Observe and navigate emotions with greater awareness and less reactivity.
Deepen your yoga practice (and your life!): Connect mind, body, and spirit on a deeper level, with benefits rippling into every aspect of your daily life.
