Meditation Weekend May 23–25 Marshall, NC

COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS TRAINING SESSIONS
• I am transformed by the program! I am filled with the strength, knowledge, and
courage to teach yoga to others. The love in the group was exemplary. I am
trying to keep it in my heart and take it to wherever I am.
• I feel the program helped me become more relaxed in front of groups. For me
the most transforming thing is the spiritual practice. Being at the program
brought me so much closer to Baba and helped me come back to feeling of the
spiritual practice channeling my spiritual longing
• I now believe I can teach yoga. I feel I know myself a lot better and am
clearer about my goals and priorities.
