What CLIENTS Say
I have been a student of yoga & meditation for many, many years and a teacher now for the last 7 years. I've been blessed with the most amazing teachers from various traditions who have each given me special gifts. I was so lucky to begin my 500 hour teaching journey with Pragyadhara this January in a restorative yoga, breathing and yoga nidra course at Kawai Purapura. This and the proceeding study have provided the gateway to the most phenomenal shift in my personal practice and teaching.
Pragyadhara embodies yoga for me. A font of traditional wisdom imparted with deep humility and expertise.
I am grateful for the opportunity I had in working with Pragyadhara. I will be back for more. You should too.
