Alisa from Germany review of Yoga Teacher Training

Alisa from Germany review of Yoga Teacher Training

I am alissa. I just completed my 100 hours Yoga teacher training in Goa, India. And I had such an amazing experience. Oh, it was a shorit yoga. Not to forget, the classes were really good, actually. The teachers were really young, but the teaching level was really high. And I got so much knowledge all packed in those ten days was such amazing.\

I feel like I’m exploding off all the information I got. I liked very much the routine, how it was structured today. So we had a lot of content, but were organized. So between classes we had a break of 30 minutes. And yeah, there was a lot to learn in the morning. panayama, mantra, hunting, then a yoga class, then an amazing breakfast. We also always had fresh fruit. And the kitchen guys are always ready to help with coffee or tea or whatever the wishes were. They even brought soya milk for the people that are vegan. And in India,

it’s difficult to get it. So it was really nice. And then there was Anatomy class. This is really good. It was like a proper scientist who did it. And then philosophy classes. I love the philosophy classes because in yoga there are so many different dreams and it was really kept basic and it was really good. And then after Ashtanga yoga and then a meditation to end up today with a nice meditation. Yes, this was the schedule, very full. But I feel like every day I feel so satisfied after the day because I learned so much every day.

And I see really, my body, how it got stronger and stronger. And I wasn’t able to perform many chaturangas and I wasn’t able to do any full  Ashtanga classes at the beginning, but at the end of the course, it was like floating almost. It was still very are challenging, but I feel so much stronger and so much flexible after ten days. That’s amazing. Yes. And the food was also good, I think. Letting everything else.
