"I have had the most amazing, life changing experience here at Oceanic. I have learnt so much and gained so much knowledge that I am excited to now share. Throughout the course I have felt very welcomed and relaxed. Food has been a highlight for me, being a vegetarian, also, I have felt health wise so good and very energized.
Coming from a western background where communication, social media is very good and also from my experience in the fitness industry and doing many courses, this is something Oceanic can improve on. There was some lack of communication before I arrived, about the course, what to expect, what the schedule will be like and also what to bring. Also, as it was my first time travelling to India from the UK some information would have made me more relaxed about coming.
The schedule did change a lot throughout the 24 days, especially towards the end when we were short for time and we needed to fit everything in. I wanted to enjoy my time here, which I definitely did, but also feel relaxed and not rushed for time. So coming up with a schedule where everything is covered in good time is something that can be looked in to. Also, Anatomy is a key thing that needs to be covered just from my experience teaching and unfortunately, we only started looking into this nearer to the end of the course and not much was covered. Personally this would have helped the understanding in practical classes if this was discussed at an earlier stage of the course.
Overall, I feel as though I have so much more understanding of my own life, how to improve the quality of my time, my path in Yoga, thanks to the time I have had here at Oceanic. I am going back feeling very calm, fresh and understanding to other people and life. I have gained so much mentally and physically. I am very happy with my decision to do my 200hr teacher training here and wouldn’t have changed any of my experience. Class size for me has made it easier being a small group, being able to share, learn and feel comfortable in our surroundings. Thank you for everything you have given me, I am now very excited for the step through my path of Yoga."
