The videos from the course are yours to keep and you can review them as much as you want. These are very useful study tools that will allow you to keep growing in understanding and wisdom well after the program is complete.
It is my goal to immerse students in many of the powerful and transformative yoga techniques and practices that have healed and nourished my own life. I hope you will join us.
