United Kingdoma year ago - “A Great Yoga Teacher” Is Right!
I have followed, read, and occasionally practiced IRL with Sage for years. I deeply appreciate and admire her knowledge, wisdom, generosity, and profoundly inspiring example. This podcast is a wonderful roadmap for anyone who wants to be a great yoga teacher. Or for anyone who, like me, wants to be reminded of the magic of studying with a great teacher.
