"I think that the training was completely fantastic. I think that the best part was since you are quite meticulous in your studies and teaching style, plus your experience, there was beyond a wealth of information to be learned from each and every class. I appreciate that we had a general guideline of things to talk about, but we were able to flow wherever the conversation went to. I’m glad that you pulled from different perspectives."

Upon successful completion of this course, current yoga teachers will receive 20 hours of continued education credits through Yoga Alliance.
