This episode is part of our Yoga Teacher Series, we reflect on our conversations with our trainees from the 2024 cohort of MerryBody Yoga Teacher Training and the unexpected lessons that came from it.

You can learn more about our 2025 MerryBody Yoga Teacher Training program over here. As we mentioned in this episode, you can find our Yama and Niyama series over HERE.

This is what we spoke about during the episode

• Yoga Teacher Training extends much further than learning how to teach yoga and improving your physical Asana practice.
• Setting and accomplishing a goal during the training builds self-belief.
• A lot of self-reflection is invited as Yoga Teacher Training allows the opportunity to reflect on who you are and how you want to live your life.
• Because of the increase of focused practice of meditation, Pranayama and Asana during the training, enhanced self-awareness comes with it.
• Self-acceptance becomes a profound practice as you dive deeper into yoga's philosophy.
• Everything you learn on the mat or in the Yoga Teacher Training ripples out and touches every aspect of your life.
• Self-compassion and self-forgiveness are also unexpected lessons that you will take away from the MerryBody Yoga Teacher Training.
• Despite being an online program, the community bonds that we make are strong and lasting, creating meaningful connections.
• Emotional resilience and dealing with change also come from the training, as well as letting go of expectations and surrendering.
• Learn more about Yamas and Niyamas HERE.
