Training in sanatan yoga was a powerful experience in my life. The course goes beyond the physical movements in hatha yoga and gives greater awareness which is built on a solid foundation and is respectful of the traditional yoga lineage.
I have really happy memories and looked forward to each weekend. The ripple effects of this course have continued and I am grateful to my teachers and for the friendships I made.
