Meeting people from all around the world was one of the highlights of my 200 hour yoga teacher training in rishikesh. Despite the many backgrounds, ages, and occupations of the students, yoga beautifully united them all. Many of us were anxious and uncertain about the course at first, but we eventually grew to feel like a family. We spent time exploring Rishikesh's serene environs, encouraged one another during teaching practice, and performed yoga together. Because we all developed along the way, those friendships added to the training's memorability. Everyone felt welcomed and inspired in the atmosphere produced by the upbeat vibes and emotional support of other students.
