Student Testimonial: Cara | Costa Rica Training
Her Experience in Our Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica
I chose SYI because they offered a unique trauma-informed YTT and they focused on giving back to the community. I loved that they didn’t just focus on the asana, but that they combined the true meaning of yoga with mental health. The fact that they offered it as a hybrid training, first online and then in-person, was the deal maker. Because of this, we arrived in Costa Rica with a solid foundation of knowledge and community.
I have learned and healed so much from this training, the teachers, and my peers. There are no words for how grateful I am that this has fallen onto my path.
The teachers, Brooke and Jeanine, truly embody trauma-informed yoga and space-holding. They are so inspiring and supportive. Being a part of this training was an honor and a dream come true. I say ‘was’, but I know that this is actually just the beginning, because SYI and the teachers keep supporting us afterwards. By choosing this training, I didn’t just gain knowledge and a certificate, I gained purpose and a spiritual family as well.
