"During my YTT, I gained a deeper insight and understanding into who I am and how I want to show up in the world. My life now feels so much more aligned and in flow with my values and my true nature. My yoga practice supports me to slow down and tune in, stay grounded while traveling, and is my sense of 'home' no matter where I am. I make conscious decisions that align with my truth, resulting in shifts in relationships, lifestyle, home, and career."

After the Sacred Earth YTT, I experienced a transformation towards greater self-awareness, patience, and the permission to rest. This was a major shift for me, as I was previously always in "go mode". The training helped me become more mindful of my stressors and taught me how to respond to them. I learned to take it one day at a time and simply be present. The month flies by, but the skills I acquired will last a lifetime."

My experience with awakened spirit yoga was the journey of a lifetime. The leadership course was challenging, but those difficulties brought me to new places that I was not aware I could reach. The structure of the course was genuine and unique and julia’s passion for the environment was contagious. I left feeling more confident in my choices and absolutely motivated to pursue environmental activism.
