EMBARK 200 Hours Foundation Teacher Training

I am incredibly grateful to have participated in Christine's Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) course this year. This experience has been transformative in many ways.

While I initially joined the course with the expectation of deepening my asana practice, I was pleasantly surprised by the emphasis Christine placed on yoga philosophy. She skillfully wove philosophical concepts into our training sessions, opening my eyes to the deeper meanings behind the postures and practices.

Additionally, Christine's teaching skills are truly exceptional. Even if you don’t plan to become a yoga teacher, the techniques she shares can greatly enhance your personal practice. Through her guidance, I have learned to become my own teacher, fostering self-awareness and self-correction. This empowerment has enabled me to listen to my body more closely and adapt my practice to suit my individual needs.

Christine's insights have encouraged me to reflect on how the teachings of yoga can be applied to daily life, fostering a greater sense of awareness and presence both on and off the mat. This blend of physical practice, teaching techniques, and philosophical exploration has created a richer, more fulfilling yoga experience for me.

Before joining Christine’s YTT programme, my only impression of her came from IG. 

I still remember the first day—stepping into an unfamiliar studio, meeting a teacher I had never seen in person, being greeted by a two-hour morning intensive practice right from the start. That moment taught me that meaningful learning begins with strong, intentional practice.

Over the course of three months, I embarked on a transformative journey—unlocking challenging asanas, learning meditation, exploring yoga philosophy, and understanding what it truly means to be a yoga teacher. Christine generously shared her knowledge, experience, and values throughout.

One of the most rewarding parts was connecting with a group of like-minded yoga buddies. We supported each other and grew together, which made the experience even more special.

Completing the YTT200 with Christine was a profound journey of challenges and unforgettable moments. Physically and mentally, it demanded endurance through intense practices, strict discipline to stay focused, and overcoming my confusion with left and right while teaching classes—turning vulnerabilities into strengths.

The memories that stand out are the intimate sharing sessions with classmates, where we opened up about our inner fragilities, building deep trust. During asana practice, mutual support and encouragement made even the toughest poses feel achievable together. Chanting mantras together brought a calming, grounding energy that lingered with me.

Above all, YTT deepened my view of yoga as more than exercise; it's a lifelong exploration of body, mind, and spirit through dedicated practice, becoming a true lifestyle. This training offered a safe space to discover yoga's depths and myself.

I’m grateful to have Christine as my 200YTT teacher. Every moment in YTT was so invaluable and memorable.

Frankly, the course was intense. Every YTT day drained my energy, yet it solidly built my all-rounded strength and flexibility. I never imagined I could unlock forearm wheel, drop back within just 3 months before YTT. I also appreciate how Christine wove her teaching and insight into the practice so I can feel in my body, beyond studying theories.

Philosophy is the biggest challenge to me; I always felt lost when trying to approach my pure consciousness. Christine embraced the imperfect me without judgement. She gently guided us to be conscious and slow down through meditation with her unique cue. She is a teacher with empathy and passion.

The process is tough but worth it. Now, yoga has become a way for me to connect with myself.
