In one word: Life-changing.

A 200-Hr yoga teacher training was not on my mind. But, I had heard a lot about Krishan Verma. When the opportunity came up, I had a tug in my heart that said I should go for it – and I did.

The daily practice during the training gave me deep, profound experiences of peace. I couldn’t believe that I was actually experiencing the stuff that the great texts of yoga talk about. Incredibly beautiful – or any other words to describe it – cannot even begin to do justice.

The second highlight of the training was the deep bonds of friendships we participants established. Inner transformation was experienced by all, and we opened up and recognized the beauty both within us and in the people around us. Some of my strongest friendships were forged during this training.

The Art of Living Retreat Center  was the perfect place to train, up in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains with  delicious food and abundant nature.

Since the training, I’ve continued to help others start or renew their commitment to a daily yoga practice. Before the training, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to get into teaching or if I was ready for it. However, post training I experienced that teaching happens effortlessly when one is established in one’s own practice. All the jitters about being able to teach simply disappeared.

I consider myself really fortunate to have gone through this training.
