Calling all Yoga Teachers!!

I’m pleased to recommend two awesome evidence-based online courses from one of my favorite yoga teachers out there, Jenni Rawlings.

Her course “Keeping Your Yoga Teaching Current” and also her new course, “How to See & Teach Movement for Yoga Teachers” are both informative, well-organized, fascinating, and fun!! This information filled a gap for me that all of my yoga teacher trainings just did not touch, and it’s GREAT stuff.

Enjoy!!
