When Kay signed up for her first yoga class in 2016, she was working extra long hours at a downtown marketing firm. The deadlines were endless, the office politics exhausting, and the thought of doing it for another 30 years felt unbearable.
Yoga quickly became her lifeline—a place to breathe, to move, and to reconnect with herself. What started as a twice-a-week stress release became a non-negotiable part of her routine. Over time, Kay began to wonder: What if yoga could be more than just something I do after work? What if it could be the work itself?
The Turning Point
Like many people, Jenna hesitated. She wasn’t sure she was “ready” or that she was the type of person who could stand at the front of the room and lead. But after talking with teachers she admired, she realized yoga teacher training wasn’t only about becoming a teacher—it was about deepening her practice and discovering what was possible for her life.
So she signed up for the Modo Yoga Foundational Teacher Training.
More Than Postures
The training gave Kay more than just anatomy knowledge and sequencing skills. There was a lecture on the business of yoga—how to create opportunities, teach in different spaces, and even blend yoga with other passions. For Kay, who had always seen herself as “stuck” in corporate life, this was a revelation: yoga could be a path to both purpose and income.
A New Chapter
Today, Kay teaches three classes a week while consulting part-time in marketing. It’s the perfect balance—work that pays the bills, and work that fills her cup. She’s built connections in her community, inspires others daily, and has created a lifestyle that prioritizes well-being over burnout.
When asked if she wishes she had done the training sooner, Kay says:
“Absolutely. It gave me the courage to step into the life I actually wanted, not the one I thought I had to settle for.”
What About You?
You don’t have to quit your job tomorrow to take teacher training. For some, it’s a path to a full-time career. For others, it’s about passion, side income, or simply a deep dive into self-growth. But one thing is certain: saying yes to the training is saying yes to yourself.
