After years of yoga training, I wanted to take my yoga skills to the next level and sign up for a yoga instructor course. Fortunately, I found one the right course for me thanks to a friend of mine.
My friend is also a yoga enthusiast who I have been training with ever since I started out a few years ago. Years later after we have finished the training, she decided to become a yoga teacher and took an advanced course. When I saw how she greatly improved after finishing it, I felt inspired. I wanted to reach into her level and I also want to help and encourage other people to do yoga. So, I asked where did she take her yoga instructor course.
The Training
I contacted the teacher training academy that was recommended to me and enrolled at one of their courses. Luckily, the training was about to begin in a week at that time so I get to start learning as soon as possible. At first, I was kind of nervous because I had no idea what to expect. Even though I have a background in yoga, I still felt anxious I might look stupid or dumb during the training. But thankfully, it didn’t happen. Our teacher was so nice. Although she was strict, she did not humiliate us but instead, she patiently taught the right form and technique. Plus, she was very hands-on to her students. She did not let anyone get left behind.
The training was great however, it made me feel sore and exhausted. It was intense that I sometimes could not keep up with it. But their teacher was motivating and inspiring. She would push me beyond the limits until I got a particular pose right. Indeed, it was tiring and difficult but it was all worth it. Thanks to the training, I realised that there are things I can do that I thought it was impossible to achieve. I became stronger and more flexible. It helped me boost further the confidence that I once lost and I discovered new things about myself.
Another benefit that I got from their yoga instructor course is that I was able to communicate better than before. Back when I was still a trainee, I could not even get the kids to follow my lead because I was too shy and timid. But as the training goes on, I found myself getting more confident. I can now speak authoritatively and I can see the drastic changes that gradually manifested as I continued the training. No longer was I too nervous when I had to teach yoga to other people.
I highly recommend Yoga Mandala’s yoga training courses in Singapore. Their courses shaped me into who I am today. Because of it, I can now teach effectively not only the children but also some of the adults as well.
