Hi Angela! The main purpose of this year abroad is simply just to spend a year abroad! We spent four months in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos with the intention of eventually finding a place in SE Asia to spend the rest of the year and join a community. With my desire to do a YTT, along with other considerations, Bali naturally floated to the top of the list. There are SO many great teachers here! If you're interested in becoming a teacher, I really recommend taking as many classes as you can (and in as many styles as you can) to figure out what you like. Ideally, you'd take a training with a teacher you've already studied with and know you connect well with. It's an important relationship!

Glad you've ended up here!! Hopefully I'll keep that motivation coming! xo

So is that the main purpose of your trip to Indonesia? The yoga teacher training? Just curious. I'm looking at becoming a teacher myself and want to get lots of info on as many programs out there as I can. I enjoy your blog - I love making yummy food, running, and yoga, too! Thanks for your enthusiasm. It motivates me, and motivation is definitely needed.
