We conduct daily Live sessions online for people residing in different timezones. We offer quality courses to better comprehend certain practices.
I'm so glad I found their place. It took me some time to find the right teachers and space for me to learn. Both are great at instructing. They are gentle and at the same time push the class to do their best. It's definitely my favorite place to learn yoga just outside of Auroville. Their whole concept is for us to get better physically and mentally. If you are seeking that, just drop in once and find out for yourself.
The practice has helped me to be aware of once own body, it's connection with mind and vice-versa. And the regular practice's benefits flow into other areas of life, brings in new perspectives and more perseverance both at a deeper and basic level. The teacher's peaceful and patient manner makes you love the process of learning and becoming. Thank you for the beautiful space you have created.
I'm committed to continuing my journey with these fantastic instructors. Their teaching style has brought about positive internal changes, and I'm excited for what lies ahead. Highly recommended.
