“I recently completed the 200 hours YTTC with Julia in Nicaragua, and enjoyed every minute of it. Before deciding on the course, I wasn’t entirely sure if I wanted to do the full 200 hours YTTC, or just 100 hours Yoga Intensive, but I am glad I did. Julia is an exceptional teacher who is…

Even in Nicaragua, I still love the traditions of Ashtanga Yoga!
I love Ashtanga Yoga. Over the past years, I have developed an Ashtanga Yoga practice and during my time in Nicaragua, Central America, it allows me to stay connected to what I learnt in India. I learnt Ashtanga Yoga in Goa during my travels. I couldn’t wait for my next session and was immediately…
