| Essay Questions | Please answer the following open-ended questions fully and concisely. | ||||
| Please describe your past/current Yoga teaching experience including location, timeframe, population taught, etc. | After receiving my 200hr RYT, I started teaching privately in my apartment. After a couple months I started teaching yoga at my dance school where I was taking and teaching dance classes prior. Dancer’s bodies are quite flexible and have more range of motion than the average person. I enjoyed curating a class more focused on alignment, that would help dancers with their strength, stability and mobility. Class size would vary from 3-10 students. In 2018 I moved to NYC to join Ajkun Ballet as a company member. As part of their summer program, I taught yoga to the dancers. After settling into NYC, I started subbing and teaching Hatha and Vinyassa once to twice a week at Harlem Yoga. When the pandemic hit, I taught online for a while. I eventually left, and in August 2020 I started teaching children ages 3-17, everyday at Grit Sports Training. Class size would vary from about 3-22 children per class. It was quite the change but I really loved it. As things started to open up again I got a job as a yoga instructor at Crunch teaching once a week on Sundays in NJ. After about a month, when gyms were able to open up, I began teaching multiple classes a day all over Manhattan and eased my way out of teaching at Grit. I had to stop teaching altogether at the end of September 2021 as I was rushed in for emergency surgery for my cancer. I haven’t been able to go back to teaching as I just finished chemotherapy and radiation. | ||||
| Have you taken any Yoga therapy training programs? | No | ||||
| Do you have any special interests or capabilities that may be relevant? | I have a strong love for the arts. On top of being a yogi, I’m a dancer, painter, and amateur musician. Although it’s been a struggle at times, I have been lucky to surround myself with all of these practices and do them for a living. | ||||
| Please list any other training or experience that you think is relevant. | Yoga Nidra from shiva shakti yoga school | ||||
| Please describe your studies and understanding of Ayurveda. | I learned about Ayurveda in my 200 hour yoga teacher training. However, learning more about Ayurveda is one of the main reasons I want to apply for my Yoga Therapy Certification. My dosha is vata/kapha. I haven’t followed Ayurveda that closely in my everyday life but I deeply wish to learn more about applying ayurveda to my dosha more intensely | ||||
| Please describe your studies and understanding of yoga philosophy. | Although the philosophy of yoga comes from Hinduism, it is a philosophy for everyone and it does not matter a person’s religious or spiritual background. For me, it has been an amazing tool for my physical mental health. Mantra and prayer have become part of my practice. When I first was introduced to yoga, I never thought I would enjoy or be part of hour-long mantra classes. The philosophy has allowed me to better open my mind and I believe opening one’s mind is an underlying principle of the yogic philosophy | ||||
| What are your expectations as a student? What do you hope to gain, learn, or work on? | It was only recently that I realized how much yoga has given me and the huge impact it’s made in my life. I have had an inner ear and movement disorder my whole life. When I was 19, a huge wave of nausea came that wouldn’t go away. I was confined to my bed and couldn’t get up for months. I became very scared that there was nothing that could help me and depression started to come. It was a very scary and upsetting time in my life that I eventually got through. After that experience is when I started taking Yoga classes at least once everyday. Eventually it lead me to taking my 200 hour yoga teacher training. The subconscious and mental impacts of a deep yoga practice are priceless to me. Throughout the challenges and hardships I have had to face since then, I’ve maintained a positive, healthy, mental attitude. I hope to further this path of inner peace and self acceptance. I wish to learn more on how to help myself and those around me. I want to work on becoming the person I was meant to be. | ||||
| Why do you want to enroll in Integral Yoga Therapy Certification (IYTh)? | Even before everything fell apart, I’ve been wanting to work on myself more. Yoga has always been a wonderful, positive resource and I felt it time to dive in deep. When I was diagnosed with cancer, my dad and I were reaching out to as many people who had my kind of cancer to gain some information about what to expect. A colleague of my dad’s had pancreatic cancer and decided to heal it through Ayurveda. I am a young healthy 23 year old who no one, including myself, had the slightest idea that this could be a possibility in my young life’s journey. I want to learn how to treat the root cause of why something like this could happen to me and others. Most would say I was doing everything right before. I need to learn how to help my body be healthy and in alignment on all planes. | ||||
| How do you intend to use yoga therapy in your practice, both personally and professionally? | I wish to have yoga become a full and complete part of my life. Teaching yoga has become a passion of mine because I love watching people go through the same revelations that I had when I first started. Not only did I learn so much more about my body, but my mind was open to a whole new world of tools to help with mental health. Yoga has helped me find myself, made life easier and more enjoyable, and it is meaningful to me to share that joy with others. It's truly an honor to help guide people through this practice and encourage the mind to become balanced through meditative movement. Since being diagnosed with cancer I feel it is my dharma to learn more and help others in their chronic illness get through what they need to get through. I’m sure that what I learn will become part of my daily practice to help ease my own pain, grow and get through the lessons of life the universe throws at me with grace. | ||||
| Given your current or future commitments, how will you create the time and space to achieve your goals for the IYTh program and fulfill all of the training requirements? | At this moment I have nothing in the way of focusing all my time and energy on yoga. I will eventually need to work again but I have usually always been able to choose when I want to work. Doctors appointments and my health are the only thing I can potentially foresee being troublesome in my requirements but I don’t want to ask for any barowed trouble. | ||||
| List any interesting things you would like to share about yourself | I have a tuxedo cat named Indi who likes to explore and ride shoulders like a parrot. | ||||
| Are there any current scheduling conflicts or anticipated events that could affect your ability to attend any of the scheduled modules? | There aren’t ant anticipated events in that would affect my ability to attend. | ||||
