TESTIMONIALS
Francoise Schall-Wakai - Washington DC
The Wellness Connection Teacher trainings (200hr and 300hrs) are incredibly well conceived and structured. Catherine and her team not only ensure a high standard of teaching but also an equally high degree of enthusiasm. The program has a rational and science based approach: yoga anatomy, posture analysis, sequencing, adjustment, strength building, well researched history and philosophy of yoga. Critical mindset are the tools, among others that you will acquire. Adaily yoga training, pose workshops give you the self understanding needed to progress with your yoga practice.
