It’s been an incredible journey. This kundalini yoga teacher training (KYTT) immersion experience has been one of profound growth, connection and transformation, and I am deeply grateful to have been part of this training.
This has been my second year participating in the immersion as a support trainer in Bali and I’m filled with gratitude for the lessons learned. I’ve become more aware of my reactions to triggers, consciously choosing to respond in uplifting and constructive ways. Mama Bali has consistently supported us, providing an environment rich in beauty and serenity that fosters deep introspection.
Throughout these three weeks, I had the privilege of holding space for our yoga teacher trainees as they engaged in daily practices that pushed their physical limits while nurturing their emotional and spiritual selves. Each morning began with early morning sadhana, where the energy was palpable, it felt as if the very air was charged with possibility. The lush landscapes of Ubud served as a backdrop for their practices, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all beings. Daily walks through rice paddies to the shala allowed us to ground ourselves in the present moment.

One of the most significant lessons I’ve taken away from this experience is the importance of holding space for others.
As a support trainer, I learned that creating a safe and nurturing environment allows individuals to explore their journeys without judgement. The practice of holding space fosters trust and encourages deeper connections among students, enabling them to share their vulnerabilities and experiences openly. The essence of yoga extends far beyond physical practice; it encompasses mindfulness and self-compassion—elements that can be integrated into everyday life.
I return tomorrow with a full heart. Each participant has contributed uniquely to our collective experience, and I look forward to witnessing how these teachings will ripple out into their lives and communities.
In loving service,
Rosan
