You will journey deep into the principles of the 8 limbs of yoga and into yourself. You will experience union in your life and you will bring to light what your true work is as a student, teacher and leader in and/or outside of the classroom. Let the unrolling of your yoga mat each day be a symbol of the unraveling of your current beliefs about yourself. Become your true authentic self, which is the source of YOUR true power.
