CONSULTING
When I first started in yoga, some of the information I was looking for was not available for many reasons. Yoga, anatomy, what to teach what not to teach can be confusing. I am readily available in the training and beyond to answer your question. Having an open and welcoming communication will only make the experience better. I am here to answer your questions.
