"You're exactly where you need to be," we're told time and time again throughout our eight-week teacher training, but those seven words didn't truly resonate with me until our Chakra lecture in Week Six. I was not about the Chakras when we first started talking about them. Usually, I open myself willingly to other people's… Continue reading Week 6: Yoga Teacher Training Reflection
