“My goal for taking the 200-hour YTT course with Yoga Shanti was to deepen my practice so that I know for myself that I’m doing the poses correctly. I’ve been practicing yoga since I was a teenager. I’m 60+ now. I’ve taken classes whenever and wherever I could. I never really studied yoga but I’ve paid attention to form, alignment and breath in classes. This course was what I expected and so much more. It is definitely rigorous, so come prepared to study and write short papers. You practice and learn the asanas in depth. You will write about them, talk about them, perform them, explain them and teach them—but that’s just the beginning. You will delve into the history and philosophy of yoga and learn a lot about the anatomy of your body including pranayama and body awareness. You will make discoveries about your body and how to teach all levels of asanas. You will also become part of a like-minded community of yogis. I especially loved the virtual platform. It enabled me to fully participate in the training from my remote location with Colleen and Rodney who are master teachers and yogis. You will not be disappointed, I promise. Plus there is an amazing mentoring and support network from Yoga Shanti. For me, this course was a rich, in-depth and rewarding experience.”
