I found the practice by a chance encounter. Those 60 minutes impacted me profoundly, and changed the trajectory of my yoga path. Almost a decade later, and this practice continues to surprise me and deeply enriches my inner world. I am so thrilled to being a student for life, and to be able to share these teachings.
