Yoga at Green Lotus
I have been practicing yoga for over a decade at my local fitness studio and have recently wanted to deepen my practice. My passion was leading me to want to learn the background and philosophy while also practicing new yoga modalities. I researched many yoga centers that also offered teacher training and found Green Lotus. I have been fulfilled and challenged since day 1. I love the classes offered and the variety of teachers. I have stretched myself and gone deeper into the true meaning of yoga! Additionally , I love how there are so many workshops to choose from on a variety of topics. I love it here and look forward to a future of learning and becoming! Thanks GL!
