Testimonials
"I have taught Yin Yoga for over a decade (2-3 times per week), and I have to say, this course went above and beyond my initial training. The deep dive into each pose was fabulous. Even if you have taught Yin Yoga for years -- please do yourself (and your students) a favor and take this course. It is well worth the investment in time!!! Thank you, Amanda, for always going above and beyond with your course offerings."
