Why I did Yoga Teacher Training

There are many reasons why we go on a Yoga Teacher training course, the most obvious to become a Yoga Teacher. But one of the other reasons is to enter the path of spiritual development and this was the case for me.

I started practicing Yoga seriously in November 2021 when I was at the lowest point I’ve ever been in my life. I was lucky that Yoga entered my life and through the practice I was able to heal. When I noticed this, I wanted answers. I wanted to know why and how Yoga was able to heal me and this is why I decided to join the Teacher training program which I did with the Chi Kri School of Yoga. I chose this course specifically because it focuses on the bigger picture of Yoga and through the course I was able to learn so many things about myself. Why my soul was born into the skin that it was. Why I was born to the parents that I have. Karma, and what is my purpose and calling in life.

Going back to November 2021, I was stuck in a hole after losing my dad, very suddenly and then the very traumatic circumstances. I wasn’t the person you see in front of you today. I didn’t want to go out, I was afraid of social settings; but Yoga started to give me my life back.

The course allowed me to find answers to the biggest questions that I had. Why my dad left so suddenly and what it meant for his family including me. What did I need to learn from this? This is what has put me onto the path of Yoga, as I’ve started to realise my calling, my purpose.

Through Yoga, I’ve been able to heal from a lifetime of trauma, racism, bullying etc. And now my calling is to use my story, use my experience to inspire the wonderful souls who attend my yoga classes every week so that we can all heal and grow together.
