Whether you are an aspiring instructor or an advanced yoga student who is ready to move deeper within yourself and explore the rich tapestry of yoga, this program will teach you how to work with students on all levels.
What could take a student years to understand in their form and alignment could just take one precise, effective, supportive adjustment from a well-trained teacher.
