AM V200 - JAN 2021
Novato, CA, USA π
I began my yoga journey about 6 years ago on a whim by attending a class at a local gym, and have been hooked ever since! My passion is making yoga accessible and fun for all bodies and skill levels. I earned my foundational 200 hr training through Authentic Movements and will be continuing my yoga education in July 2021 with AMβs 300-hr advanced training.
Reflecting on the AM YTT Experience
| Why did you choose Authentic Movements for your YTT? | |
| I chose Authentic Movements for my initial 200 hr training because I loved the versatility and accessibility of an online training. My original in-person training was canceled due to COVID, and it was a blessing in disguise – because the AM training was focused on creativity and functional anatomy, which was exactly what I was looking for! | |
| How did the online training platform work for you? | |
| With a 9-5 job, taking the online training at my own pace whenever I had free time was perfect. The online platform was easy to navigate, and the AM team was always available when I had any questions. | |
| How has your teaching changed since completing the AM YTT? | |
| My teaching style has dramatically changed since I completed the training – I am much more drawn to accessible classes for every body type, as well as creative flows that are not only fun, but keep my students on their toes! | |
| How have you engaged with the AM community of alums and students during and after the training? | |
| I love the AM alum community. There are several trainees from around the globe that I connected with immediately, and we are still in contact to this day! They are always available to bounce ideas off of, and practice with virtually through Zoom. Itβs a lovely community! | |
| What was your favorite part of the course content? | |
| I absolutely loved the creative vinyasa flows included in each chapter, because they were all so unique. But also the myofascial release classes from Bianca – I had never practiced this before, and it blew my mind! Hoping to learn much more about myofascial release in the future. |
