I am so grateful for this amazing opportunity to dive deeper into yoga and sound! My intention for this training is to deeply connect with myself, and in turn, be able to connect deeper with those all around me, to experience this beautiful world in the most pure way that I can.

Yoga teacher training is something that has been on my heart since 2016. I took both a meditation and yoga class as “fun electives” during my first year going to school at Hancock College, and it truly changed the course of my life. I am beyond grateful for all of the teachers in my life who have shown me the way! Primarily, Patricia Koivisto and KJ Jones. They have filled my heart and cup more than I could have ever asked. As I got deeper into my practice, I fell in love not only with my life, but with myself. Consistently polishing my patience, forgiveness, gratitude, breath, mindfulness, and balance within myself.

As I attended my dear friend, Joy’s, yoga and sound graduation this past winter, I felt so much excitement and contentment for her, and I couldn’t help but feel like I would be up there next year! This training will take place in bite-sized pieces from April-October at Let’s Get Tuned in Morro Bay with lovely Natalie and Jon! Something special about this yoga teacher training, is that it incorporates sound healing as well! Getting together with my beautiful Jamie Nicole for monthly sound baths this past year has been such an expansive, nourishing experience and I am so grateful that I will now be able to be both a recipient of the magic as well as a healer!

Some highlights of what I will deepen my understanding of include:

Meditation, Mantra, Pranayama, Sound Healing, Anatomy, Chakras and Subtle Energy, Vinyasa, Hatha, Kundalini, Restorative, Yin, Yoga History, Philosophy, Mythology and Ayurveda!

I am grateful and excited to be able to do this for myself. I am also stoked to be able to share what I learn with the people I love! With my friends, my family, and the preschoolers that I am so lucky to teach everyday! During circle-time, along with our beautiful, seasonal songs, we practice movement, gratitude, and breath! It is so exciting to think of what else I will be able to bring to them in a developmentally appropriate way! I also love the idea of one day being able to host parent/child yoga classes to evoke joy, connection, amusement, and all around goodness!

I appreciate you taking the time to read more about my story and being curious about donating! This training is $4,444. I plan on taking as many little side jobs as I can, creating and selling beautiful art, (which you can contact me directly for, or look at surfingnarwhalsart on instagram), as well as having a garage sale.

I also humbly open myself up for any potential streams that may trickle my way! Truly any bit will help me on this journey! It was one of those things where I didn’t exactly know how I would do it, but every part of me knew it was a YES. So, I shall plant this seed and smile with gratitude.

The ways that this experience will affect my life are numerous, and I am sure, beyond my imagination. I smile as I think about us all together one day in a giant circle, under the sun, moving our bodies and loving ourselves, loving each other, loving our lives, loving this world.

I am grateful for your consideration and honored to be gifted with your loving energy! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! I am happy to answer any questions!

With Gratitude,

Megan Dant
