“Applying for yoga teacher training was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. My appreciation and devotion to the practice has deepened and I have gained some of my closest friends who will forever be my family. The teachers treated us with respect and trust. The course got challenging and uncomfortable at times but they always held space for us. Im not the person I thought I was before the training and im forever grateful for The Essence of Sadhana for helping me to remember.”
