Training in the practice of Yoga is an exciting and rewarding lifelong process: your Teacher training will be giving you a foundation from where to start: it is important that you feel that you are starting off in the right place for you. Cost,location and timing are all important factors yet the most important factor is that you resonate with the teaching style of the main teacher so we encourage you to come to the studio and attend classes with Felicitas before inquiring further about the training. Once you feel that this may be the right place for you Felicitas will be happy to meet with you and answer some more of your questions.
