hOMe PYM:200 HOUR IMMERSIVE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

No matter what your original intention, this experience will change your life for the better!

The training focuses on alignment based slow flow principles; the psychology and mysticism of yoga; and yoga as a practical self advancement tool for every day living.
