3. A YTT Helps You To Let Go Of Things

The biggest issue for most people is letting things go. It is the ego  that makes us unable to do this because people rationalize  things too much and this in turn only makes letting go of the past harder.

Regardless of how bad  your past, after doing a yoga teacher training; we become aware of our ego and our soul. And we begin to see how they are completely separate things.

This helps us to see that letting things go isn’t a matter of letting others get away with things. It’s allowing us to end the cage that we put ourselves in by endlessly holding energy negatively regarding past things that have happened to us.
