Let's be real. It wasn't life changing for me like how others perceived it, maybe because my expectations were really high. So learn from me, do not expect anything hehe.
But I learned so much about yoga theories. I've never really read a book about the history of yoga or the like. I was really waiting for this experience to learn all of these things.
I also learned how to properly assist as a yoga teacher which was huge for me. I think this is very important not just for hands-on practices, but can also work with online teachings depending on the circumstances.
My meditation practice had improved a hundred fold. We meditated every single day and sometimes more than 3x a day, and I'll be forever grateful for this learning experience.
But when it comes to asana, or any physical practice, I didn't gain as much as I thought I would. Pls. keep in mind that I have been a seasoned practitioner for over 3 years before I started my training. I am not saying that you will not gain any experience from this aspect, but because we all have different backgrounds which are all relative. I have been aware about proper alignment and more through the books that we published, and learned from all the amazing authors that we worked with. These people are not just doctors, but are specialized in their careers, from Crossfit experts to movement experts, basic anatomy to proper postures, some are yoga teachers, as well as nutritionists–which I have learned a lot about nutrition more than what was offered in YTT.
