Transform Your Life: Yoga Teacher and Military Veteran Shares Insights from Sadhguru
I'm thrilled you're here.
I completed my 1750 hours of classical Hatha Yoga teacher training in Coimbatore, India, at the Isha Foundation established by Sadhguru. Prior to this, I had never been interested in yoga and was instead a fitness enthusiast, addicted to the gym and weightlifting. As a US Army veteran, I always prioritized fitness and maintained a strict diet, diligently calculating my macros. On the surface, it seemed like I had everything needed for a happy life, but deep inside, I felt a sense of emptiness that I couldn't explain or address. Despite trying to keep myself busy with various activities, nothing seemed to help, and this feeling persisted for years. Eventually, I reached a point where I felt so down that I contemplated leaving everything behind and starting anew for no apparent reason.
Realizing that I needed to take action, I turned to YouTube and discovered Sadhguru. I started watching all of his videos and gradually began making changes to my lifestyle. I started practicing yoga, which transformed the way I sit, eat, and breathe. During this transformative period, I made the decision to become a yoga teacher. My aspiration was to share the benefits of yoga with as many people as possible, in the hopes of igniting a single drop of spirituality across the world.
Yours truly,
Aspiring Yogini
