AM V200 - Sept 2022
Texas,USA 🌎
Devoted practitioner and community gardener. My yoga journey began as a spice to healing through physical therapy in 2015. Formerly a track hurdler and cross country runner. I still enjoy running, but yoga is the heart of my movement practices and way of life. I am sharing all I can to help people experience the most of their yoga practice through and for themselves.So far, completed 200hr YTT and 50hr movement science and strength for yoga
Reflecting on the AM YTT Experience
| Why did you choose Authentic Movements for your YTT? | |
| I trust Erin, Stevi, and Bianca! AM is the real deal. I am very skeptical, and AM is clear and very thorough. Diving into the why behind things, like in anatomy and spaces in between poses. Communication is wonderful, and AM embraces many ways, community, creativity, independence, and freedom through movement. | |
| How did the online training platform work for you? | |
| Very well. As a single mom, it was a gift. I was always able to pause, tinker with my life routine and rewind if needed. I moved a few times during my training and so long as I had my phone I could continue. | |
| How has your teaching changed since completing the AM YTT? | |
| I feel much more confident and like I have a huge bank of resources. I feel more clear when I talk. | |
| How have you engaged with the AM community of alums and students during and after the training? | |
| I have engaged through Facebook and practicing with other students. We have helped each other go through the nerves and encouraged each other | |
| What was your favorite part of the course content? | |
| My favorite part…OOOF I really loved the content whole. If I had to choose, I really liked the asana labs. Being able to go through the details while putting the lessons into motion. | |
