divine nature will emerge in an exhilarating manner. As leaders and healers you will gain powerful technologies
for transforming yourself and those around you. This course is an exciting adventure in the journey of self-discovery,
even if you do not plan to be a Yoga teacher. For those who go on to teach, Atma Yoga will give you the most comprehensive
base available in Hatha, Raja, and Kundalini/Shakti Yoga. Whether your interest is in flow, slow-deep-stretch,
or Kundalini style yoga, Atma Yoga will be an ideal growing and learning experience.
