We sat down and talked to Mel and Keola, two of our graduates about their yoga love story and how their lives have changed since yoga teacher training.

Keola: We met at the yoga house in Hawaii, we met as a big group of friends. We both were going through a really tough time in our lives. I just wanted some peace and giving and I'm assuming Melanie was also searching for the same thing….

Yoga Story. Yoga Journey. Yoga Odyessy. This training was not what I imagined it to be. It was much more intense. Much more personal. Much more demanding. And much more rewarding than I ever could have imagined.

Doing the training on-line I was concerned that I would miss out on the personal connections and actually had planned on going to Oahu for the 3rd Module in December. However, Covid disrupted those plans and I was unable to travel from Oregon. As it turns out I am glad that I did not go to a tropical paradise with wonderful people. Why….?

10yrs on and I am still teaching yoga and loving the journey. I can’t imagine life without it. Becoming a teacher has to be one of the most enriching and fulfilling things I have ever done.

Yoga has empowered me to look inwards, while empowering and inspiring me to live life on my terms, while being at peace with my choices and my own path. This life I have chosen has allowed me to live a life of freedom.
