Yoga education is for everyone. I’ve always said if you want to learn something, learn how to teach it. For the past 30 years, my yoga teacher training course has been empowering people, changing the way they look, the way they feel, and the way they relate to themselves and others.
I’d be honored to be your teacher, guiding you through this wonderful process and being with you every step of the way. You bring the desire to learn, and we’ll nurture and develop your confidence and excellence.
