A few quotes from recent graduates of our Teacher Training course.
"The Heart of Living Yoga course has shown me I actually have everything to give. By connecting in so deeply I can replenish myself and have plenty left over to share. There is increasing patience too and a real willingness to share."
"It has changed my life and within my teaching – the joy and peace and love that [Heart of Living Yoga] brings to my students. That makes me want to cry."
"From my moment to moment interactions with the children I teach at school, my family relationships, how I behave in the world toward every living thing in the world has all changed. Because it comes from a place of deep love and honesty and truth. Everything has changed."
"You fall in love with life. It's as if you no longer need to look for love. You become love."
