OUR TRAINING
 
Our training is inspired by the deep desire to share with you the passion for yoga and teaching resulted after more then 30 years of practicing  and 20 years  of teaching yoga. Bridget and Ananda have a unique fusion of 2 traditions, connected by the same tantric root. The focus is a precise physical and energetical alignments in the asanas inspired by anusara yoga, complete by the diversity and joy of pranayama inspired by ashtanga sadhana, and a deep commitment to the spiritual path of yoga.
