'I love Dena so much! She is so right, the power of yoga lies in its simplicity and purity. I am a huge fan of traditional simple yoga. Thanks for inviting one of the best yoga teachers in the world to this YTT!'
Shae
'I have read the Yoga Sutras from front to back 3 times but never have I felt them the way that I do in this moment. I am so grateful for this teaching.'
Hannah
"Your essential self, your true nature, your svarupa, has never left you. It's not as if you need to go and learn something and acquire the knowledge to know you. You just need to move everything out of the way that is blocking your connectivity to it. Perhaps a spring clean is required." - Dena
So, I will continue spring cleaning Thank you Dena, really.
