Even if that means you go above and beyond. . 〰️ We’ve been doing some deep study with our advanced teacher training group. And being a yoga teacher is a LOT of work. Especially if you want to do it right...that’s why we only offer the advanced training once in a couple of years to a small group of yoga teachers. . 〰️ Also on a personal note, don’t
