Blooming
Lotus
Yoga
Instructor
Training
200
hours
There
are
no
words
to
truly
express
how
deeply
profound
&
transformative
my
yoga
instructor
training
in
Bali
at
Ubud
Corner
88
was
for
me.
I
took
the
200
YTT
in
Feb/March
2023,
having
applied
three
years
earlier,
just
before
lockdown.
At
the
time,
my
hope
was
to
deepen
my
own
long
term
practice
&
to
explore
whether
becoming
a
teacher
was
something
I
would
like
to
pursue.
The
location
at
Ubud
Corner
88
is
truly
magical;
the
Goddess
sings
here
in
the
deep
green
earth,
peace
runs
like
a
river
through
the
beautiful
shala,
the
villas
overlook
the
temples
across
the
river,
the
bell
calls
you
to
meditation
&
practices.
Getting
to
meet
my
teachers
in
person
after
spending
three
years
with
the
books
&
podcasts,
felt
like
coming
home.
So
much
thought
&
energy
has
been
put
into
creating
the
most
beautiful
spiritual
container
here,
so
that
the
students
can
completely
devote
themselves
to
exploring
their
practice.
If
you
are
here
because
you
wish
to
teach
asana,
Mandy
is
the
most
incredible
teacher,
with
such
attention
to
detail
&
a
very
strong
emphasis
on
safety.
Asana
workshops
&
practicums
lwalk
you
through
the
steps
to
learning
to
teach
safely
&
with
confidence,
&
you
are
provided
with
a
wealth
of
material
&
resources
to
guide
you
through
sequencing
&
planning
classes.
This
is
a
training
that
focuses
very
much
on
the
spiritual
&
energetic
aspects
of
yoga
in
the
Shri
Vidya
tradition
-
yoga
as
the
path
to
enlightenment.
This
was
the
side
that
I
found
so
deeply
transformative;
deep,
deep
morning
meditation
&
workshops
&
mantra
with
Lily;
joyful
evening
satsang
with
Ramananda,
who
spoke
on
everything
from
the
Vedas
to
the
different
yoga
traditions
to
the
dish’s
as
-
&
at
special
request
-
devoted
the
evening
session
of
the
Full
Moon
to
Vedic
Astrology.
Ultimately
-
amongst
so
much
more
-
I
learned
that
becoming
a
Yoga
teacher
was
not
my
path
-
instead
I
was
inspired
with
a
deep
desire
to
study
Shri
Vidya
&
the
Vedas
further,
to
journey
to
India.
I
can’t
not
mention
the
wonderful
Blooming
Lotus
family
who
took
such
wonderful
care
of
us
in
every
way
-
Chef,
Agung,
Devi
&
her
Dad,
&
everyone
else
-
help
with
everything
you
could
possibly
need,
the
most
glorious
satvic
vegan
food
the
dishes
at
every
meal,
even
the
vegan
takeaway
goodie
box
they
gave
me
at
farewell
(in
case
the
airline
messed
up
my
vegan
meal
again).
Whatever
your
reasons
for
taking
the
Blooming
Lotus
YTT
may
be,
I
promise
you
won’t
be
disappointed,
&
that
you
will
leave
a
different
person
once
you
have
experienced
this
place,
Mandy’s
sweetness,
Ramananda’s
wisdom,
&
Lily’s
light,
&
you
will
leave
a
little
of
yourself
behind
here
forever.
In
love
&
gratitude
to
you
all,
always
-
Namaste🙏🏻🌀🌸
