I cannot even express how proud I am of these freshly minted yoga teachers! They braved Covid to come into class as two surges happened throughout the course of our time together. In spite of all the uncertainty of this time, they showed up consistently, they were present in mind body and spirit, and they worked their booties off to learn all they could about being yoga teachers. I am proud to send them into the world to share their light with all those who they encounter! The world is a better place with these yogis on the loose!
