Here is an interview with one of our guest Teachers –.Megha Nancy Butttenheim.
The modules are listed below:
“The best training I have ever attended. I have attended a lot of programs for my CEUs and personal growth, educational needs. BUT this Program and the Teacher will touch your Mind, Body & Spirit like no other. This Program and the techniques Diane utilizes as she teaches creates a shift from within each individual. Your journey is about to go on a path you can not miss. The experience and education you will leave with, will be with your for the rest of your life, and you will share this with all you meet from that moment on. What a life learning shift to gift yourself. Do not let the class title keep you from this experience waiting for you. If you never teach yoga,( and who is to say you never will ?) what you learn about YOURSELF in this program is life shifting…..” Kathleen Viola. May your Journey begin here.
