I would like to think that it was fate that brought me to such a wonderful studio and to such a welcoming group of people. I applied for the Teacher Training program at Semperviva from Ontario, after stumbling upon the Semperviva website. I was immediately enticed by the colourful graphics, powerful statements, and most importantly, the part-time nature of the teacher training course. I loved that Semperviva, unlike other studios, understood that it was nearly impossible for me to take a month off from life to complete an intensive yoga teacher training. Although it was a big risk for me to enroll in the program without even stepping foot in one of the studios beforehand, I don’t regret my decision for one minute.
From the very first day, I was introduced to a variety of yoga styles and teachers that opened my world in so many ways. The staff at Semperviva are wonderfully passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about yoga. I was able to go to work by day and learn about the wonderful world of yoga by night. I was also fortunate enough to take part in challenging and inspirational workshops taught by world-renowned yogis, and sweat together with the lifelong friends I made along the way. I feel that I am coming away from the course not only with a firm foundation on how to teach yoga, but how yoga can teach me. As I continue to learn, grow, and evolve, I will always carry with me the knowledge and memories I have gained from Semperviva.
