It was a pleasure to learn from them in the online version of the Awakening Yoga Foundations TT! I'm very fond of their teaching methods, but in addition to this, they're wonderful humans. I can not only see their warm and calming presence on the video but also feel positive, good energy through the mic every time I listened and practiced with them.
It's wonderful that they take every student on the discovery of their own body, soul, and mind, acknowledging that curiosity is the most important tool on the way and that it’s the journey that counts.
TT is structured in the best possible way and asana labs were so well elaborated, that the understanding of the complexity of the whole movement of what we are doing in yoga is easier to digest. Forever thankful for the creation of all the Series of the Awakening yoga.
Personally, I have to say, that I prefer this online version of teaching, because I could do it in my own space on the other side of the globe in Slovenia and didn’t need to pull on other resources (additional money and time for traveling, re-scheduling my other obligations ….), but foremost for me it’s the online version better cause of the longer time period to digest the material in my own time, and I can re-watch as many times I need something to hear and there are so many possibilities to ask (in live sessions or on discussion and community boards), and also is so good that they address students questions in the weekly podcast and they give you assignment feedback!
