This training is a life changing experience and deepening your practice on so many levels. We focus on yoga on and off the mat. Yoga as a life style for optimal health and balance. How to make better choices on a daily basis, creating new life habits and transforming into a higher quality of life.

"Yoga is a powerful practice, which is here to inform and serve us both on and off the mat. Each student is unique. I encourage my students to approach their practice with inquiry each day and radical acceptance." - Nathalie Croix

" Yoga should support our life and not be another demand that we put on ourselves. Our practice should cultivate inquiry, sensitivity, and kindness to ourselves." - Maty Ezraty
