For me the Level 4 Diploma in Teaching Yoga was transformational – life changing and life affirming.  Studying with our group of 12 has been such an amazing period of my life.

It’s been a wonderful two years, navigating the learning landscape of anatomy, asana, pranayama, meditation, business, taxes and so much more.  It’s been great having real feedback as I find my voice as a yoga teacher.
