"I signed up for Yoga Teacher Training as a personal challenge, and with the support of wonderful teachers, mentors and fellow students I successfully met the requirements to become a Certified Teacher. I made connections with a diverse group of people that I'm happy to call my friends. YTT is about more than learning to do and teach yoga, it's a journey to discover your inner strength." ~ Barbara Brown, 2017 YTT Graduate
