Oh my, how do I even find the right words for this?! I was introduced to yoga through my ballet practice and as I got older I felt more aligned with yoga. When I was looking for a studio, I tried many before I found Citizen. After the first class I was in because this was the first time a yoga studio like a home to me. I’ve always felt aligned to the type of teaching at Citizen because I never felt like I was going to class to get a workout, but to spend an hour with myself and on myself. Their training does an incredibly thoughtful job covering topics to prepare you to transition to teaching and uses materials that are culturally relevant. Citizen gave my practice a home and through their Yoga Teacher Training program I got a ‘lil family too.
