Kerri Hopkins, AYJ Graduate 2022

"The 200-hour YTT program at Lila was incredible and came into my life at just the right time. Chanda is an amazing teacher who generously shares her teachings and experiences with the students. She is able to see the gifts that each student brings, and she supports everyone on their path. The sense of community created in the teacher training program fits seamlessly into the broader community at Lila. I'm incredibly grateful that I discovered this studio and took the leap into this 200-hour journey."

A message from Chanda:

When I embarked on my first Teacher Training, I had no desire to teach yoga. I just wanted to learn how to breathe again. Life seemed complicated and I felt like I had lost my way. I wanted more than anything to rediscover my lost sense of self. I wanted to find purpose. I wanted peace.

And since I was struggling to make sense of things on my own, with a sincere and humbled heart, I asked for a teacher. It was a grace that I discovered such a rare training, with teachers heavily steeped in the teachings of Advaita Vedanta through the lineage of Swami Dayananda Sarasvati. At the time, it was all so foreign and new, but the jewels that were being revealed would change my life forever. It has now become my greatest joy to share these jewels with others and to witness the profound transformations that take place in such a relatively short period of time. It's a wonder really.

This journey of rediscovery is one we all make in our own divine time, and interestingly enough, I've found it has little if anything to do with being able to touch our toes... and rather, everything to do with our desire to be absolutely free from anything in the way of our realizing the true essence of yoga. Feel free to join me along with some other wonderful guest teachers on this special journey. I must admit, this is no ordinary journey. It is what one might call, A Hero's Journey... or as we here at Lila Studio like to call it, A Yoga Journey.
