Falling Into Yoga

Positive impact of the Yoga Teacher Training Course in my life

- Sonia Sharma

As an introvert I don't like to share a lot about myself. But in spite of that, I am happy to communicate and share my experiences during my Teacher Training Course at The Yoga Institute with everyone who is reading this.

Frankly speaking, I had no inclination towards yoga whatsoever. I was even very neutral to this term “Yoga”. I always thought that yoga was not meant for me, as I was overweight and more inclined towards pursuing mental work or activity as compared to physical activity.

But around ten years back, I got into a really bad condition physically as well as mentally due to severe depression. I became very dull and inactive and at that time, I attended a workshop called “Dance and Movement Therapy” at Fortis Hospital, Delhi. The workshop really helped me to lift my body and mind up to a normal functional state and for the first time, I came to know how physical movements were so important for releasing tensions in the body as well as for expressing suppressed emotions. Yet, I had no plans for joining yoga. But, fate thought otherwise. Divine blessings chose yoga for me as a part of my destiny.
