THE JOURNEY

We recommend you try out other styles of yoga and experience where you feel most at home and where the best instructors are to be found.

If this style does not truly inspire and delight you (it does us!) then it may not be the best way to go!

The teacher training is from 4-12 months depending on how fast you would like to progress.
