Reflecting on the AM YTT Experience
| Why did you choose Authentic Movements for your YTT? | |
| I have always been inspired by the content Erin, Stevi, and Bianca share. I was signed up and ready for a 200 hr in person training, when the pandemic hit that was cancelled and shortly after I found that AM was offering a virtual training that was super affordable and also extremely convenient being an at your own pace training! | |
| How did the online training platform work for you? | |
| There were times I faced challenges, I am a huge procrastinator and perfectionist, so those were my biggest obstacles by far! | |
| How has your teaching changed since completing the AM YTT? | |
| I have grown more confident and I’ve started beliving in myself a bit more… or maybe a little bit of releasing the judgements of others, but probably a litte bit of both. Overall I feel that I am following the path that is not only meant for me but paved by myself as well. | |
| How have you engaged with the AM community of alums and students during and after the training? | |
| Not really! I mostly had to focus on my full time job but I’m now at a point where I’m longing for balance and do not want to continue putting off my desire to teach and live yoga. Although yoga can’t be my full time priority, I am taking steps to make sure I incorporate it in my life as much as possible because it just makes me feel better! | |
| What was your favorite part of the course content? | |
| Yoga philosophy and creative vinyasa classes! | |
