I entered Radiant’s Yoga Teacher Training as one person and came out a completely new person at the end.
Not only was I able to dive deeper into my practice and understanding of yoga but I learned so much about myself and my fellow TT’s.
We were meant to be on this journey together, from all walks of life and for all different reasons, and it was the true friendships and community that we built that made this experience so special. As we learned to truly breathe together and embrace different yoga cultures and techniques it was the comradery that ultimately lead us through every class, training, dialogue session and workshop.
There was nothing more exhilarating then ping ponging dialogue as we taught each other classes. The unconditional love and support from everyone in the room is what made it so easy to step out of your shell. Each workshop was truly transformational as we heard the gongs pulsate through us, used crystals to heal our aches and pains, and united in breathe through our spiritual breathing meditations.
And for the moments where we needed to calm the minds and let our food digest, the motivational talks, lectures and videos we watched were life changing. I can honestly say that some of what I learned during these calmer moments about strength, vulnerability, and confidence were more beneficial and impactful that half of what I learned in college and grad school. At teacher training you learn to put your ego aside and step into the unknown, learning to embrace your vulnerability and fears together.
Darlene and her team of teachers led us through a world wind experience full of yoga, postures, friendship, strength, courage and beauty and I will forever be grateful for the experience.
