…impacts you in a way where you find yourself changed for the better and on a remarkable new path.
“I loved the teacher training at Purusha, it has a very complete program that focuses on the 8 limbs of yoga, not just asanas, perfect to deepen your practice. But what I liked the most is the sense of community that Joy and Eric create, is a space where you feel safe to start your journey as a teacher.“
