Jenna Franseen speaks of her experience in Chrysalis Yoga Shala AcademyTeacher Training:
“200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training with Carol Sele at Chrysalis Yoga Shala was a transformative experience. Carol crafts the training to prepare us for teaching several practices of yoga (including vinyasa, yin, and Ashtanga) as well as a wide breadth of information across history, practice, safety, business management, anatomy, and more. There is a balance between readings, videos, homework assignments, quizzes, in-person teacher practice, and lecture. The in-person class structure gives the time and space to dive deeply into these topics, as well as Carol engaging the amazing strengths and gifts from teachers at Chrysalis to “guest lecture” and share their perspectives and yoga journey. She also makes it a supportive environment where you review a concept, practice with a partner, and then practice teaching with your whole YTT class so that you get more and more comfortable teaching as you go. The final capstone of designing a yoga class was challenging in the most beautiful way, and you get to share it with your class. Carol’s feedback is always constructive and setting you up for success as a yoga instructor. I loved learning and deepening my practice, and I loved being able to start to apply what I learned as a substitute yoga teacher at the studio before the Navy moved us elsewhere. I am beyond grateful that I took the training with Carol, and I am excited what the future holds for my yoga journey.”
