Everyone has their own reason for doing a yoga teacher training course .. maybe they want to make a career change, perhaps they want to be able to share their love of yoga with an underserved population, or maybe they just want to learn more. Here’s Jennifer’s reason .

Our Yoga Teacher Training students become family, lifelong friends, and guide our studio's most important questions. After each graduation class, we ask them a series of questions and learn what we can do better each time, and what was just right the way it was.

The learning how to teach was one of my favorite parts, which was experiencing the asanas from a different perspective than being a student in a yoga class. Prior to teacher training would attend a yoga class where I followed the steps from what the instructor was saying. It was a lovely experience and I learned a lot of yoga poses by attending different classes instructed by different teaches.

Yoga Teacher Trainings are so varied. If you are considering a training, do your research and find the one that is best for YOU. Ask questions, talk to recent grads, and other studio owners.

The biggest surprise came a few months after teacher training was over when I taught my first public class. I never thought I would actually teach. Speaking in front of a group of people is something I usually try to avoid. And I didn't feel ready or qualified to teach a class because of my own self-doubt. But I taught the class and I survived and I really absorbed more in the 200 hour training than I thought I did.

What was your favorite part about Twist Yoga teacher training? I have so much favorite parts it's hard to tell, for me it was a life change experience that eventually allowed me to improve my asana practice as I learned proper alignment and safety for myself and my potential students. I also loved the focus of smart sequencing.
