"Excellent studio and training in every way! An inclusive and welcoming collective of seasoned teachers that practice what they preach. They do their own deep work and set an excellent example of what abhyasa and vairagya (effort and non-attachment) look like in practice. Inclusion extends to many different things at 8 limbs - the rich diversity of styles and influences under one roof; the accessibility of learning for all backgrounds, experiences, abilities and ages. I can safely say that, if you do the work, you will leave not just as a yoga teacher but a better human."
