Through this teacher training, I’ve significantly deepened my understanding of yoga. I began to cultivate a brand new awareness of myself: of my inner spiritual self, of my mind chatter, of new muscles in my body. It was eye opening, and all I had to do was heighten my awareness – open my same eyes! I changed drastically, but stayed the same. Yoga cultivates an awareness that allows us to rise above any suffering of the mind, which constantly arises from internal and external imbalances. The regular practice helped me see how achieving this union helps to connect with my inner self, leading to a sense of peace and happiness. I began to develop the connection between my mind, soul, and body and the universal.
