If you’re looking for a yoga training course with a focus on connecting with the mind, Yogshakti is an amazing place to be. Under Shilpa’s watchful guidance, it was fascinating to observe the transformation that has happened to my body in the span of two months. Shilpa introduced many useful concepts that have helped me understand how to use my body to connect with my mind. When I could access this, a lot of postures opened up for me. While I understood intellectually what lightness in movement meant, but it wasn’t until I achieved my first weightless headstand that I saw the power of the techniques in Integrative Yoga.
I liked the part online, part in-person structure of the 200hr yoga teacher training program. The online course, over a period of 1.5 months, allowed my body to slowly absorb the benefits of a consistent practice. I was mind-blown when my breathing cleared up, I saw a difference in my meditation, and I’m probably the strongest and most flexible I’ve ever been.
But what's most beautiful for me in the practice is learning how to come home to myself, to that stillness that resides within each of us. I really loved learning about the philosophies and theories behind the practice that teach me how to navigate the ups and downs of this world. Because the real yoga, as Shilpa would put it, begins off the mat.
