I learned so much about myself and Yoga teachings I never knew existed, even after practicing at local studios for 20 years! It was such a wonderful, eye opening, spiritual experience and has been the beginning of my journey to more self discovery. Amanda and Jon were knowledgeable, powerful, experienced, patient teachers and I’m so GRATEFUL to have met them and to participate in their class. I HIGHLY recommend their TT to anyone!
