I will forever be grateful to the people that made my YTTC so special

Doing my Yoga Teacher Training with Trish and her team at Life Retreat was one of the best things I have ever done.

I arrived not knowing what to expect, and left with friends for life, important lessons for the soul and a full heart. Not only did I deepen my yoga practice, but I also learnt the importance of self-compassion and slowing down.

The way that this YTTC taught me to bring the lessons I collect on the mat into my daily life is something I never expected to learn. Trish is a wonderful human being who made this experience so incredibly enjoyable, with her kind heart and knowledgeable mind.

I will forever be grateful to the people that made my YTTC so special.
