This training was a gift, and I leave feeling incredibly grateful for the experience.
From the very beginning, everything was handled with care. The booking process, payments, airport pick-up and drop-off, and all of the communication leading up to the trip made the experience feel smooth and stress-free. I always felt supported and well informed.
Vikasa Yoga Resort is a truly beautiful place. The property, the shalas, and the surrounding nature create such a special environment for learning and self-discovery. The staff is AMAZING! . There is something magical about spending a month immersed in practice, surrounded by people who share the same passion for yoga and personal growth.
I loved meeting Jonah. Learning from a carrier of the Seven Doorways lineage was deeply meaningful to me. This method has changed my life in many ways, so being able to continue learning directly from someone within the lineage felt very assuring that this method still works and people still connects to it. The classes challenged me, inspired me, and gave me so much to reflect on, both as a teacher and as a person, a reminder to go back to the basics.
I also want to acknowledge all of the facilitators who shared their knowledge throughout the month. Each brought something unique to the experience. Kirstie kept the timing and topics on check, her ideas and comments were very mindful and helpful, her classes were also very inspiring. Christian's anatomy classes were exceptional. He made anatomy practical, interesting, and easy to apply to teaching. Jovan's workshops were another highlight. His knowledge, passion, and way of sharing were truly inspiring. Yogi Alex with philosophy is also a great addition to the overall knowledge of yoga.
I also appreciated how well the training was organized. The schedule flowed well, the facilitators were punctual, there was a wonderful variety of topics, and the group discussions and collaborations made the learning experience richer. Beyond the curriculum, one of my favorite parts was simply meeting so many beautiful people from around the world. The friendships, conversations, and shared experiences became just as valuable as the training itself.
The spaces without phones felt especially meaningful and supported a deeper level of reflection and connection.
Overall, this experience gave me what i went for. I leave with new knowledge, meaningful friendships, a deeper appreciation for this lineage, and a renewed sense of trust in myself and my path. Thank you to everyone who poured their hearts into creating this training. It is an experience I will always carry with me.
With Metta!.
