“This experience has been far beyond just becoming a yoga teacher, it has led me to great self growth that I am excited to continue with throughout my life. My heart is filled with gratitude for all that I have accomplished and overcome while being here, and so much gratitude for the instructors and staff at Shoshoni that have guided me along the way. This was one of the most challenging things I have ever done, but in turn has been the most rewarding thing I ever could have done for myself.”
