Answering the Call: Is It Time for Your 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training?
Every yogi remembers that moment—the quiet, subtle voice inside whispering, “There’s something more for you here.” Maybe you’ve heard that call, too. Perhaps you’ve been practicing for a while and feel ready to go deeper into yoga philosophy, alignment, and self-discovery. Or maybe you simply crave a meaningful reset and a community of like-hearted people.
If you’re feeling that gentle pull, this post is for you.
A Journey That Changes Everything
When I (Lauren Leduc, owner and founder of True Love Yoga) first signed up for yoga teacher training, I had no idea what it would lead to. I wasn’t sure if I would teach, but I knew it would transform me. And it did—completely.
It deepened my practice, strengthened my confidence, reshaped my self-awareness, and ultimately changed the entire trajectory of my life. Over the past eight years, I’ve witnessed nearly 200 students walk this same path in their own unique ways—each one finding transformation, clarity, and growth.
Who Is Yoga Teacher Training For?
Spoiler alert: you don’t need to do a handstand, wear matching sets, or have life “together.”
This training is for anyone with an open heart and a willingness to grow.
It’s for you if:
You feel called to deepen your relationship with yoga.
You want to share the healing power of yoga with others.
You crave structure, support, and meaning in your life.
You’re ready for personal evolution and a community that meets you where you are.
Even if you’re unsure about teaching, YTT offers a powerful container for self-discovery, self-care, and transformation.
