This course has been incredibly eye-opening, heart-opening, humbling, transformative and so so much more. I learned many life lessons but just a few that touched and created a shift in me were these; ACCEPT SURRENDER, TRUST and “SERIOUSNESS IS A DISEASE”. I feel that I’m learning to accept myself and will continue to grow in that every day, surrounding my “control”, learning to trust experience, and taking a new approach to live life playfully and full of joy and love for all. When I came to India I was lost and taking a sense of purpose and connection. I now feel that although it is not totally clear, I do know what path I’m on and I can relax and trust it. I also feel a new loving connection to myself, others and life itself. The program was intense and exhausting at times and I had no idea what to expect but I’m so thankful for all of it. I feel very well prepared to take these practices and mindfulness hour and incorporate them into my daily life and share with others. I’m also in awe of all the wonderful resources we are being sent home with. I’m so grateful for this experience and looking forward to the journey ahead, knowing I will always have the love and support of all the beautiful souls I have met here at Yoga Essence. My heart is so full.
