    Your dad going with you to make sure it’s safe is so cute and genuine! I’m glad you enjoyed your time and are willing to help others go as well. I always feel like going to other countries is incredible because you learn so much and it truly does humble you realizing not everyone is as blessed as we are. Yet they make the best out of it! 🤗

    Thanks so much, babe. You are glowing after this training. Sounds magical. I'm between two YTT options right now: this one and another. I'm really thankful for your perspective. I know this YTT is traditional, but is there room for exploring or being creative in your practice or teachings? That's one of the things that is important to me in a training. I really would love to go to the yoga capital of the world. So beautiful and I love the spiritual aspects.

I'm also interested in traveling abroad as it is something I've never done before. It's good to know that traveling to India isn't a terrible experience and that you had a great time at the school.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing. I practiced ashtanga from 2006 to 2011... I stopped in 2012 to have a baby, went vegan in 2017. Lost a lot of weight... All of that back story just to say, April 2018, I bound for the first time in marychasana A.... I practiced for many years with people who could bind on the first day... It taught me to turn my focus inward and not look at anyone else... Follow your breath, engage your bandas and breathe :-)

    I just received my 200 hr where I live in Northern California, I received a scholarship from the owner of a studio I maintain the front desk at, and it was magical. This definitely however intrigues me and makes me want to obtain my 500 ytt at this school in India. I wonder though if I would be capable of the advanced 300 or 500 ytt there just because in my training here we didn't focus on ashtanga or vinyassa at all. Anyways thanks for the share

    • @amandavsevilla
      @amandavsevilla  Před 5 lety

      Hey love!! so awesome to hear you loved your teaching course. I'm not sure, it would be best to email them (tell them I sent you :) ) to ask. I know that the 300 program they have builds off of the Ashtanga primary series into the Intermediate series so it might not be ideal for you since you didn't do ashtanga or vinyasa. Just ask to double check!

I am flying into New Delhi and then getting a ride arranged by the school from the airport to the school. It is the 6-8 hour ride that I remember you mentioning in one of your CZcams videos. Do you think I will be safe getting this ride from the school? Thank you! 💖🙏🏻

But not everything was perfect: sometimes electricity was off, not always hot water available (due to it is India and it's up on the mountain). But the atmosphere was family-like and very friendly!! And I loved the teaching, practicing classes with all the guys, food and schedule. Amazing time!

    Water from river Ganga is holy water. You store it fir years and it will not smell at all. Indians pray river Ganga or Mother Ganga, bring water home in bottles for rituals / pooja. It’s pure coming down from Himalayan mountain. Regarding protein, plants are best source of protein. You do not need any powder, just be organic and connect to nature like your ancestors. India is heaven for Veg lovers.

    is it necessary to have a good fitness level before you go or do you think that wil come with time as you train?
