200Hours Virtual Teacher Training

"You guys are always so kind, encouraging and so helpful. I knew from online friends that have taken the immersion that it would be a powerful time. Boy let me tell you how powerful it was even on zoom! For me it was like this training was a one-on-one training and something where I could have time to just be with God, just Him and I.

The final 15 minute practice was the scariest thing for me. For me, I was expecting my instructor Sally to be "Amanda this was wrong, that was wrong, you missed this…." But instead it was words of encouragement and pointing out the things I did good and words of LOVE!

The open invitation for the Holy Spirit to have His way is what captured me. Although this was a virtual experience, the Holy Spirit met me where I was.

I felt embraced, enlightened, engaged, and empowered during the passing of the mantle. I now know that I am well equipped to carry out this calling of God to represent Him to those that I encounter.

When I found YogaFaith, my soul, mind and body were revolting against me. It was a magical formula of grief, busy, hormones, and exhaustion. I could not even be still to receive from the Lord. Although I just had been a leery of yoga my whole life (I wasn’t allowed to watch the lady on PBS growing up!), the “faith” part intrigued me. So I tried it. And it changed me.

I was able to quiet my ravished mind because I had to focus on doing the forms instead of my crazy brain. And the worship music played with words that spoke God’s deep love and care for me. And I healed on that mat.

Grateful for all of you!

Immersion itself was life changing. I have been on the Walk to Emmaus and to me this was similar, just add yoga poses to it! I truly felt God's presence during the whole thing. We learned a lot but it wasn't overwhelming, we laughed and we cried. I truly felt like we were a family once it ended. And on that last day, nobody wanted to leave.

One thing that really stands out is after we did our final class video that we submit, we had prayer, and Jody prayed over each and every one of us in our group. Once she got to me, it was like she read my heart and how I was feeling about becoming a YogaFaith instructor and going out to help the world. She was spot on and I knew then what I had already kind of knew, that this was truly God's calling for me. And now I am proud to say I, am a YogaFaith instructor!

The YogaFaith Virtual Immersion was exactly what my soul needed. Even though we gathered virtually, our encounter with the Lord and one another was absolutely sacred. The teaching, soul work and friendships were very impactful and I am so grateful for the kingdom work being done through this beautiful program!
