Susie Wright
V200 - APRIL 2021
Burley, Idaho, USA 🌎
I have been practicing yoga off and on since 2007. After retiring as an RN, I finally had time to focus on not only my yoga practice, but my overall health as well. I love learning new things and so when I started this journey, I wasn’t sure I wanted to teach. After being approached by the manager at my local gym several times, I finally relented. I have been teaching for a couple of months now and can’t imagine my life not teaching. I love sharing my passion for yoga with others! Since completing my 200 YTT with AM, I have gone on to certify in Yoga Trapeze and GlideFit.
Reflecting on the AM YTT Experience
| Why did you choose Authentic Movements for your YTT? | |
| I was refereed to Authentic Movements by my yoga teacher and mentor, Kylie Orton. | |
| How did the online training platform work for you? | |
| It worked extremely well for me. With being a mom, leaving for weekends at a time isn’t feasible for me. The online platform allowed me to accomplish this goal while being a busy wife and mom. | |
| How has your teaching changed since completing the AM YTT? | |
| I wasn’t teaching prior to completing the YTT. But I will say, it gave me the foundation I needed to begin teaching. | |
| How have you engaged with the AM community of alums and students during and after the training? | |
| Yes | |
| What was your favorite part of the course content? | |
| I’m a nurse, so I loved the anatomy portions. Steph’s lectures were amazing! My second favorite part was the sequencing. As hard as it was for me, I loved it! | |
