— Shareefa Sayani,
Pranalife Yoga certified teacher
Shareefa Sayani is a Pranalife Yoga certified teacher. She talks here with Asia Nelson - Founder of Pranalife Yoga and The Movement Life, about where she was when she decided to sign up for Pranalife YTT, what changed during and after her training, and what she’d say to anyone thinking about signing up for this life-changing course.
Quotes from Shareefa:
I was really at a pivotal spot as a single mom … feeling very much like I had organized and oriented my life around [my daughter] and being a mother. And it really sort of smacked me in the face that I didn’t know what my hobbies are, what I’m interested in … I felt that disconnect with me.
It was a real rush [to decide to do the training]. When I made that decision, something came alive in me. I felt like “I’m in charge of me now. I’m not just here to serve everyone else” My own empowerment, in a way, came a little more alive in terms of me taking charge of the direction and the next wave of my life.
There was definitely a lot of letting go of a lot of shit that surprised me. And a lot of stepping into a new way of embracing my own leadership.
It felt amazing [to teach for the first time]. It’s really a gift. I’m getting chills just thinking about it, Super fulfilling to do, and I felt confident from day one because I know how to guide a class, I know how to look for what people need, and I know how to give them what they’ve come for.
If you’re not sure, just do it. Make a bet on yourself and do it. You’ll get a lot more out of it than you think.
