Love notes!
“Thank you for all the work you did to put this together. I loved every bit of it, and look forward to some future “fest”!”
“Rixie’s workshop gave my feet new life!”
“Thank you for bringing Savitri, among many others, into the program. Gosh, her voice and words are so beautiful! It is so interesting to hear the common theme of Soul, mind and heart picked up and presented in many different ways by so many teachers in their presentations during the yoga fest. Thank you for organizing those moments focusing on ‘those particles of light’”
“A quick note to say thank you for organizing the yoga fest. I did three sessions with guest instructors — Theresa Murphy’s Ankle class, Baxter Bell, and Melina Meza’s ‘Wild’ — and really enjoyed them. I had no idea what to expect with ‘Wild’, but it turned out to be wild only in the fun feeling of doing something familiar in a slightly different and fresh way. ”
“Many thanks to you and Amir and so many wonderful others in our community for an inspired and uplifting Yoga Fest week! ”
“Savitri’s heart meditations were very powerful for me. There was so much warmth created!”
“I never had the opportunity to study with Tias Little. I just did his class from the YF link and enjoyed it so much. It was not physically demanding, yet so subtle and challenging! ”
