The magic of learning to cultivate an authentic loving relationship with yourself, and a deeper connection to the purity and beauty of the children or adults you are working with. To see the students’ progression from joining a foundation course to graduating Level 2 is truly breathtaking..“

    It taught me valuable practices I regularly use when I need to self-regulate. Keeping myself calm and in control mostly leads to a calmer household too. Special Yoga has benefited my whole family; we have all grown due to this experience. ”
