“The first day of YTT, we all introduced ourselves. Everyone said that they were doing this to share love and because they love life and love yoga. I said it was because I’m mentally ill and yoga is saving me from myself. My therapist told me it would be a bad idea to lie, but looking around at the shocked faces I kinda regretted that. YTT was hard and I would not say that I enjoyed it. Of course, I learned and gained so much from the experience, but it was not fun. I guess real growth is never fun, but other people seemed like they were having a great time so maybe I was doing it wrong. I don’t know.”
