Some impressions from the Teacher Training:

My journey

Becoming a yoga teacher came to me unexpectedly. Although I was already a yoga practitioner it had never crossed my mind that someday I would become a teacher. One day a friend of mine won a scholarship to become a yoga instructor. It was at this point that I knew it was what I needed to do next.   I always knew that my mission in life was to help other people. Although it was a strong calling, somehow at the beginning, I was afraid. Yet, it was the most natural thing for me. All my life I was at service but something was missing. I had no boundaries and people took advantage of me.   It’s only when I understood that being at service didn’t mean being a servant that I could be a true healer. When I understood this: doors opened in front of me and my direction in life became very clear. I’m on a spiritual path. I don’t pretend to be ahead. There is no order of things on the path. We are each other’s teachers. My students are my teachers. They help me to go further on my path.   Having said that, through the years, I feel that I have made my way to a very comfortable place, a place where I love being me, a place where I am in love with myself. Along the way I had all sorts of experiences that made me who I am now and many more will come. I do not worry; I welcome new experiences because I see them as learning experiences. As we are being tested, we learn and grow.   In the 90′s, I moved to Taiwan where I studied Mandarin at Tunghai University for one year and then for the next few years I worked as an English teacher in a private school. My years in Taiwan were very pleasant. I had good fortune. Looking back at it, I realized that in my profession as an English teacher I was utilizing my skills as a healer.A lot of the students that came to my classes were young men and women with low self-confidence. For some reason, I attracted these kinds of students.   As you can see, I always try and understand where you are right now, life can be complex, has been complex even for me and there is no reason why yours won ‘t have been so far on your own personal journey. So when you come to my class you can be assured you are in a sacred space I hold very highly for you. You’ll be nurtured, cared for and loved. I also assure you, you’ll love, adore and cherish everyday you spend here with us as do all of our students.   I’ll introduce you to your teachers in a moment but first let me show you how we do things when you arrive.

I just want to share this with you.

Looking back on my own life or should say my early life, things weren’t right really. They never felt right and were only feeling worse as time went on. Today I live in Bali, surrounding by nature, wildlife and fresh, clean air and food each and everyday.   I can travel anywhere in the world and still teach the powerful practice of yoga whilst practicing yoga for myself. I also have my own studio of course and study regular to increase my knowledge of Yoga so I can share this with you.   I truly believe in the power of yoga to transform your life, the lives of others and at the same time believe it can transform your life. And this training is about you, after all a Dr. has to be healed themselves first to heal others. Yoga is the same I can help you get your own life back on track then you can go into the World and help others share your new Yoga skills.   It’ll make you closer to a part of you will have never seen or revealed before. It’ll make you more compassionate, more loving and much clearer for the future. This is a skill that of course should be taken seriously but at the same time has supported me and a lifestyle that most people will only ever dream about.   I’d love to share that will you while at the same time helping you to become a recognized Yoga teacher.   I’m looking forward to being with you soon.  

Either book your place right now, we can then talk and if it’s not what you want simply refund the payment or talk first and then book.   Love, peace and the highest blessing to you. From the stunning island of Bali.   Linda Madani
