“My experience in the Holistic Hybrid Yoga Teacher training with Awakened Spirit Yoga was transformational. t took two weeks for myself to unplug and really dive into the deep and ancient wisdom of yoga. I feel like I’m leaving this place rejuvenated with a whole wealth of knowledge around yoga that I had never had before. So excited to share my newfound knowledge and self love that I’ve cultivated here with my community, with my friends and family.”
