This Training was developed with an appreciation and desire to honour the wisdom and breadth of Yoga. It is important to provide an opportunity for yogis to practice and share the extraordinary teachings in a supportive and nurturing environment. Ease and flexibility works for modern lifestyles and bridges some of the gaps between theory and practice, between practicing on the mat and practicing in the world, and between learning and living as a whole.
We are developing a community to share Yoga as a comprehensive and life-affirming tradition.
