Sometimes, my breath catches in my chest, and I can barely believe it. Mind the Mat's in person - indoor and outdoor classes are blossoming. We are increasing our capacity, and people are showing up with enthusiasm. It feels like a new beginning and a new opportunity. I'm aware it's not that simple, and there will be challenges along the way as we make our way back together. That word - together - has so much meaning now because, over the past year, our community couldn't be together in all the ways we had been before. Somehow, we stayed together, and now many of us get to be together in person again. It feels like breathing deeply for the first time in a long while.

Here's what we are hearing from students who just graduated last week!       

    "Mind the Mat's 200-hour yoga teacher training is a transformative experience. From the very first class you take, you know you're embarking on a journey that will change your life and everything you thought you knew about the practice of yoga. Mind the Mat does a fantastic job of creating a well-rounded and comprehensive program that will set the foundation not only for sharing this practice with others as a teacher but also for deepening your personal practice."

    "If you've ever wondered about how to actually live in the present moment: cultivate the awareness, build a diverse toolkit, and learn to read your body, this is how. Even though it's called yoga teacher training, where you learn to teach others, this experience was groundbreaking in what I've taught myself about myself. It's teacher training for us to hear the teacher inside."

Mind the Mat teachers who haven't seen each other in over a year are reconnecting.
