Before I started last year with my 200-hour yoga teacher training (YTT), I thought about it year. It was logical from different views. The favorite teachers suggested the journey, my career as a freelance writer encouraged extra sources of income, and I have always been here for transformative growth – which everyone promised that Ytt would bring.
“You will not be the same person you were when you started,” a friend exercised.
“Get ready to see the world in a very different way!” Warm warned another.
“It’s like someone has done the light,” said a trusted teacher.
A few months and a certificate later I am here to say that I am – for the benefit or bad – the same exact person I was when I signed up for Ytt. Life may have demanded that I evolve (as it does, and does), but Ytt felt little more than an intensive study.
I have been practicing and out for almost 20 years and I am looking for text messages, get lost in nature and travel around the world in an attempt to unravel the mystical character of being. This can explain why the existential overhaul for which I was for the time being prepared for never came completely. Graves in the concepts of Yoga more than revealing.
Let me be clear: the experience was valuable and completely worth it. Together with a deep dive in the physical and philosophical elements of yoga, our cohort was encouraged to practice self -objects and to share our findings in a safe container. It was great and vulnerable and very helpful. But did it set up my world? Has it asked a tectonic shift from the land on which I built my life? Change the way I see and feel and understand the universe? No, no, it didn’t.
This was not the experience of everyone in my group. For some, Ytt was an opportunity to view life in a completely new way, and that transmutation could be felt and a pleasure to see.
My advice? Set aside the experiences and statements of others and let your YTT be what it is. If a personal overhaul occurs there, fantastic! A spiritual awakening? Amazing! But it’s all okay if your teacher training is exactly that is: preparation to better guide students through a yoga class.
When it comes to yoga, learning really never stops. Like many who came to me, my 200-hour Ytt taught me that I have so much more to learn and that I can strive for that knowledge as I am.
