“From the first day to the day of graduation, I grew, I was stretched, I was cherished as a being of the universe. I learned what yoga REALLY is from Debbie as she guided us all on the paths we were meant to follow. My view of the world–and my life and how I live it–has changed dramatically. I can’t say enough how grateful I am for this program, for Debbie, and for all the wonderful teachers she brought in for us to learn from. ”

Distance Learning
We want our students to both get the most out of their development experience and also provide flexibility for the responsibilities of life. For this reason, we’ll be holding in-person classes, but also live broadcasting each class for students who want to study and attend remotely. Parts of the course, such as the summer semester, are also designed to be remote study for all students. This reduces overhead learning costs and eases the scheduling burden for many in the busy summer months.
