Joining Shree’s Anusara Teacher Training in the fall of 2015 was a
completely unexpected decision. I had already done a prior teacher training and
was not currently teaching (or planning on starting to teach) yoga.
Furthermore, my life felt busy and full, I had just changed jobs in my
full-time career and was newly married. However, every time I went to class and
heard Chaya or one of the other teacher’s mention the training something pulled
at my heart. I decided to take a leap of faith and sign up.
At the end of the training we were all required to teach a
class. This was by far my most favorite part of the course. I was not the only
one cultivating my own voice, we were all doing it and all supporting each
other simultaneously. Hearing the fellow members of our group teach a class and
sounding so much like themselves and like “real yoga teachers” was moving and unforgettable.
Yes, doing a teacher training is about yoga, but it is about so much more. If
any part of you is curious about the training, listen to your heart. I promise
you won’t be disappointed.
See what some of the other graduates are saying about their
experience:
“I started my yoga teacher
training with the idea to go deeper into my practice, physically and
spiritually: the search for my real me. What I discovered on the road during
these 9 months was not only how much I love Anusara yoga (the style Shree yoga
practices and teaches) but also how much I want to spread this love by teaching
myself. The way Chaya and all my other teachers lead our group through these
magic and challenging times still amazes me with its professionalism, depth,
understanding of what we need as students and as human beings, complexity, and
infinite joy. For me each teacher training weekend was like a mini yoga
retreat: studying, practicing, being with people I fell in love. Now, a year later
our group of new teachers is still together, supporting each other, enjoying
teaching, getting together once a month. We are a Kula, community of the heart.”

“The Shree TT was
one of the most meaningful and challenging things I have undertaken. It was
transformative. The expert teachers who guided us through the year have a
level of understanding that is rare even among the most accomplished teachers,
and this is the best preparation you can get to prepare you to teach this
complex discipline. In addition, the ties that formed between people in the
group are lasting and have helped sustain me in my first year of teaching.
Studying this material is a life-long pursuit, but you will search far and wide
before you can find another teacher training program that will prepare you for
that journey in the way this one does.”
