Teacher Trainings

My heart gets warm every time I think of the amazing two months I spent in Morocco with Alicia and Oliver. I was lucky enough to be part of both the 200 and 100 hour courses, and boy, what an experience! I went to these YTTs with the sole purpose of deepening my physical practice. Little did I know that the next 2 months were going to be challenging and life transforming. I chose the destination format to get out of my comfort zone; new country, new culture, new experience, and an amazing group widened my horizons. The location was ideal on so many levels, waking up by the beautiful coast, enjoying the magical sunset everyday, meeting the most genuine and hospitable locals all added to the experience. I expected a change and some emotional transformation, and these factors added a lot of feelings to an already overwhelming experience. Alicia and Oliver made both courses valuable and enjoyable at the same time. Applying different teaching techniques, they made the courses accessible to everyone. They created a beautiful, safe environment where everyone had an opportunity to grow. Encouraging everyone to take the space to go deep inside and discover his or her inner truth. On a personal note, I learnt to love more, express more, be true to myself and always stand up for what I want whilst staying soft and kind. Their love and passion for teaching is contagious, you can’t help but aspire to translate their teachings into your own classes. This is not to forget the high level of education that you will receive in anatomy, alignment, asana, sequencing, adjustments and a hint of Thai massage. Their asana classes are creative and challenging leaving you feeling rejuvenated, positive and stronger everyday. The sequences are stuck with me and I constantly apply them in my classes back home. It takes a whole lot of courage to leave your everyday life and commit to a new lifestyle away from everything that’s familiar, but it will be very enriching and will give you a new outlook on life coming back home. A destination format is ideal for someone looking to experience a new side of life. I started teaching a week after coming back from my training, feeling positive and honored everyday to have taken part of this journey along amazing humans; students and teachers alike.
