” This experience has been a complete metamorphosis of mind, body and spirit. With the support of my teachers and fellow students, whom I’ve formed life long bonds, I found a strength and confidence I never knew I had. I learned so much about yoga asanas and philosophy, anatomy, sequencing and teaching techniques. I feel confident now to begin my journey as a yoga teacher, but the lessons go so much deeper. There isn’t a single aspect of my life that will go untouched by the personal growth I’ve experienced. It was Life changing!” – Kim Wozencroft, Canada

Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica Yoga Academy International

“I finally came across a teacher training that lined up perfectly with everything in my life. I knew the universe was screaming at me to go. I had to listen. So I went. I learned so much about yoga and even more about myself. Being three months out of training I still feel a large connection to that beach, the training, and my YTT group every time I practice. Even if it is just a small memory, it brings so much joy and I hope to hold that with me throughout life. I am now teaching at a local studio and I am continuing my education to teach wounded soldiers and soldiers with PTSD.”
– Kristin Henry, Anchored Yoga
