Yoga for Midlife
June 6, 2020With Monique Lonner
Adults in their 40’s through 60’s are turning to yoga for mind, body and spirit relief in greater new numbers than any other age group. These motivated, (although sometimes somewhat nervous), students need yoga to keep their stress levels controlled and their bodies healthy. In fact, many of them come to Yoga at the advice of a physician.

Yoga for Grief
September 18-19, 2020With Antonio Sausys
Grief is inherent in every life. Indeed every condition, be it mental or physical, implies a certain degree of grief since it involves some form of loss: either loss of functionality due to the condition itself, or the loss of the illusion of an absolutely healthy life. As a result, most Yoga Professionals can face grieving individuals in their practice and could benefit from having knowledge regarding the grieving process as well as how Yoga can aid it.

This place is a true spiritual mecca! I love all the teachers and the people who attend their training programs. I have never had a disappointing class or a bad experience. I always walk out with my soul fed and nurtured. They offer so many great programs. I am in their Holistic Yoga Therapy training and each section and class blows me away. I love the support staff and the ambiance. Monique is the creator of the teacher training program and is a luminous gem of a woman. She is the epitome of loving kindness and compassion.
