This program was everything I dreamed and more than I ever imagined. My connection with myself has deepened and I am equipped to take my yoga off the mat to guide and inspire others.

Sherry Lundquist RYT® 200 · Sep 17, 2015

This training is specifically Dao Flow yoga, including Chinese medicine, acupuncture principles and womens health, in addition to yoga. It is quite a comprehensive course and encompassed extensive teachings in all areas. Saraswati Markus is a kind, knowledgeable and experienced yogini, in addition to being a doctor of Chinese medicine and an acupuncturist. She and her staff provided an excellent training and I highly recommend this course.
