Are you thinking of becoming a yoga teacher in 2019, but wondering if you\u2019re ready?

The decision<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cI decided to do yoga teacher training because I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. I had always wanted to try something new like personal training or ski instructing but I kept making excuses not to do it\u00a0 \u2013 that something else was more important.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had seen that Paula was going to run a part-time teacher training and I was determined to do it. Then I happily found out that I was pregnant with baby number three. I had to postpone the training until after I had my son, but months later, when we were settled, I started the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things holding me back was that I had a fear of public speaking, but I wanted to get over this and thought that the yoga teacher training would also help me with this goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI called Paula and we had a chat. I instantly decided, this is my time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no idea\u00a0what I would do after the training, I just new that I was going to overcome my public speaking fear and do something I love.\u00a0I didn\u2019t have any expectations. I just wanted to give it a go.<\/p>\n

The yoga teacher training course\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cThe course was fantastic at all levels; the way it was structured, the way it was taught, the people, Paula and her team, who are bubbly and happy. You could feel that they love what they are teaching. That made the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course attracted people who were meant to be together. We made great friendships and will remember each other always.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the course you get to teach two full classes and get feedback and advice. For my first teaching practice, I was nervous, but it pushed me out of my comfort zone. It was exactly what I needed. I felt supported and that I could ask questions. I knew I could make mistakes because I was learning and it gave me courage to go and start teaching straight away.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were advised to teach ten classes with friends and family before teaching public classes. I decided to rent a space in Breath Yoga and Pilates in Trim for eight weeks to teach friends. When this finished, they wanted to continue so I now have a Saturday evening Vinyasa class that\u2019s open to the public. I cover for other teachers in the studio when needed and I teach a monthly restorative yoga workshop.<\/p>\n

Just do it!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cIf you are looking for a high quality yoga teacher training course than don\u2019t hesitate this is the course for you. It\u2019s in front of your face.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s not just about the physical side of the course. We studied the philosophy of yoga alongside the asana and anatomy. It gave me a whole new perspective to look at yoga as a lifestyle. Yoga isn\u2019t about just the physical exercises \u2013 this has added a whole new dimension for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had the best of the best. Paula\u2019s energy, her way, how she deals with people\u2026She is the best of the best. I really loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Durga\u2019s January yoga teacher training is enrolling now. It takes place part time over weekends between January 26th to April 28th 2019 and costs \u20ac2,250. Call Paula Mitten, Course Director, on 0863642489 to find out more or email info@durga.ie<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
