“...an
atmosphere that promotes the physical artistry of an antique and
spiritual art form.”
W.G.
McLaughlin, M.A.
Being in the financial industry I need to find balance in my life. Two years
ago, I was introduced to yoga and since fell in love with it. So much, that
I wanted to share my passion for yoga to whomever wanted to learn. When Tula
introduced a teacher training program I jumped on board. The teacher
training was perfect, not only did it work with my hectic schedule, I
learned the different parts of yoga and the teachers were great resources.
If you are like me, I encourage anyone interested to sign up.
Asmita Kanungo
I really enjoyed the teacher training program at Tula since it made me more
aware of my body and how the postures in class will benefit me. The training
program has encouraged me to become more physically fit due to yoga
attendance requirements 3 X a week. I find I have developed a healthier
perspective on life and am more receptive to what my body and mind need. I
also feel more confident in helping others since I know how to do the
postures correctly, I also know how to do adjustments. I strongly recommend
joining this teacher training program if you are health-oriented and willing
to help others. It also encourages more self-awareness and spiritual growth
to help balance life, which is really important in this fast paced
environment.
