In 2010, I made the decision to take my yoga practice to the next level and get my yoga teacher training certification. I knew I wanted to go to Bali, Indonesia to do an intensive program. An intensive program was my best option as I worked in healthcare (every other weekend) and couldn’t commit to a local program with training on weekends that weren’t designated at that point. The initial yoga teacher training program I was going with had to cancel the training, because their center in Bali, burned.
I almost gave up on going, but about a month after receiving the news that the yoga center had burned, I came across information on another yoga teacher training, also to be held in Bali, Indonesia. I reached out to Yandara Yoga for information on their program and made the decision to go.
The night I flew into Bali, I had no idea where I was going to stay (I was not meeting up with the shuttle to the Yandara training until the next day). This was a first for me, as I had never traveled alone and previously had only ever flown on direct flights. After receiving my Visa for the month and picking up my luggage, I ventured outside the airport. Here in the states, most airports have car rentals. In Bali, they actually have Villa rentals. To say I was relieved was an understatement.
I was in Bali for the entire month of July, 2011. We trained 5-7 hours a day with one day off during the week for site seeing. After the training was completed, I stayed in Bali and rented a Villa with some of my fellow graduates for a few days before flying home.
Receiving my 200hr yoga teacher training certification has been one of the proudest moments of my life. I am so appreciative to Yandara Yoga and to everyone who was part of my experience. I carry those memories with me and cherish them all! I look forward to taking the 500hr training with Yandara in the not to distant future.
