“throughout this journey, i have grown as a person and as a soul. i have had the opportunity to gain knowledge as well as comfort in who i am. i have spent the last month dedicated to the present moment, with the future in mind. throughout the ups and downs of this month, there were two quotes that came to life. When you’re done, you’ve just begun. and all growth is exponential. i feel as if these have come to life because of the intense yoga environment as well as the inspiring people all around. being a part of this training was a life-changing decision that will bring me places i never could imagine. I have learned strength and self restraint. i have learned to deal with the things i have not yet healed from. the need for change was laying in front of me this whole time, and that was not the original intention of coming here. one thing i did know before i came out to the training, was that i was going to experience change regardless. and i had no idea that a tiny statement could be something so huge and so powerful. As i return to my own home bubbles, i bring this amazing bubble with me on my journey. the first steps are sometimes the hardest ones to make. and i can proudly say i did it. a deeper understanding of myself and each being around me. growth is exponential and for me, it began here.”
