Yoga Teacher Training
When the country went into lockdown, I pivoted and took my entire therapeutic 200-hour training online.
Rather than tuck those videos into a box somewhere, I decided to offer them here for the curious.
This program is extremely useful for anyone looking to learn the foundations of yoga for essential well-being so that you have the tools to pivot when life insists you do!

Breath
With the foundations of movement in your pocket you'll be ready to learn the science of breath for mood, sleep, digestion, and especially, meditation.
