"The first day of teacher training, my biggest fear was that I'd love yoga so much that it would change my whole life. I was warned that it might just happen, and of course, it did... Thank you for shaking the ground I walk on. I have learned so much about myself through this training, and I can't thank you enough for it. I have grown to love yoga and to understand where I want to go in life. I will never forget this time!"
