From the moment I walked through the door I was welcomed with smiles, hugs, and open arms. Radiant was truly a family.
About a year ago, I was introduced to radiant hot yoga by one of my best friends Jennie Monfried. Despite never having done yoga before, she insisted that I be a “front row warrior” and practice next to her in the front left corner of the room. From that very first class, I was hooked. From the moment I walked through the door I was welcomed with smiles, hugs, and open arms. Radiant was truly a family.
I had the privilege of watching Jennie go through her teacher training shortly after I joined the radiant family. I watched her life completely transform as a result, and I decided to follow in her footsteps.
My eight-week teacher-training journey was an experience unrivaled and unparalled. During those eight weeks, I was in the best physical shape of my life and despite being busier than ever, I felt more relaxed and stress-free then I had in a very long time. I completely transformed and deepened my yoga practice and now that I understand the benefits and proper form behind each of the postures, I continue to improve and strengthen my practice every day.
I remember the very first day of teacher training; no one knew each other and everyone was shy and nervous. However, those feelings didn’t last long. After that first weekend we became a family. I quickly learned that the relationships you develop during these eight weeks are ones that will last a life -time. The friendships I developed were among the many highlights of my teacher training experience.
I can truly say that these eight weeks changed my life for the better. I am more mindful of what I eat, how I think and who I want to become. Teaching my first class was one of the greatest and most powerful experiences I have had. I would recommend teacher training to anyone who is looking to better themselves in any way and accomplish something that they can be proud of. I look forward to continuing my yoga journey at radiant.
