The Teacher Training Standards


Gail, in her sharing spirit, was willing to host us in her apartment (which is right around the corner of the West Town yoga studio) for the duration of our whole training. I love her place. It is spacious, has very light energy flowing through it, and it instantly felt like instead of doing training at yoga studio just stretching at home (ok, maybe more than just a stretching).

Brahman’s Family and the Philosophy behind Yoga


I didn’t know what to expect. How is this going to work? I came to the Lincoln Park yoga studio early and get to talk to Alyson beforehand. She always makes me feel like she listens; therefore cares, and it creates very welcoming atmosphere. I learned that we wills start with mixed level class together with people who just came for yoga class.
