""I enjoyed every aspect of the training. Most of all, I enjoyed the dancing at the beginning of class, the shadow work, chakra journaling, getting to know other beautiful souls on a similar journey, color meditations..I mean I enjoyed it all. The Sesh Medu Neter was the only part that I did not really enjoy as much. I see the value of it. However, I personally found the topic slightly tedious."

"For me as someone that's already a yoga teacher. For me, it solidified and, you know, really ignited that love for yoga, and made sense of like, what yoga is. And as well like, the modality of it, just like how sacred it is. And just like, it's not simply just like doing postures, you know, just doing yoga postures and just breathing. It's, you know, sitting down and saying, oh, but the African Kemetic yoga is very profound, and it's very powerful practice of yoga that goes back 1000s and 1000s of years to the ancient Remetch people the ancient Kemetic people. And so from doing this programme, it allowed me to have a better say subtlety or just like no, like, I don't know if that words kind of slipping my mind but just like a more love and a more like, you know, holding space like really like seeing the practice like, you know, like how powerful it is pretty much."

"And just the overall training itself, I feel like there is value for people who otherwise would not participate in yoga who's needed like myself, who get intimidated by what they see in a traditional class of what someone who does yoga looks like. So I think representation matters. And that people can see the bit you can get the benefits wherever you are in the process. And I think it's important for people to see that you can start wherever you are. And you don't have to wait until you get to a certain size, this is to help you evolve into whatever as you're supposed to be. So that has shifted. For me. The confidence in this is who I am, and I can do this has shifted over the process. So that definitely has shifted for me, the confidence level of when I did this, I really I knew when I started this process, I knew there was something in me leading towards system action."

"Deciding to partake in Mama Ursh's Yoga Teacher Training just felt right. Although I had read about the contents in preparation for the training, I could not have prepared myself for the changes they would bring to my life. I am still in awe of the amazing knowledge I was blessed to receive and can say that it has truly changed me and my outlook on life. I found answers to some of my most profound questions about life, also those I didn't yet know to ask. Through the self healing practices, the intentional breath and movement, all rooted in the KMT philosophy and ancient wisdoms, I gained a greater understanding of me and my role in the universe in this lifetime. For this I am forever thankful - to myself, for following through on this journey - but especially to Mama Ursh, for providing this space and facilitation the rebirth of my thirst of life. Tua Mama Ursh."
