200 hour Yoga Teacher Training
September 26, 2020
I'm becoming a certified yoga teacher! We all know that working in the Arts is on hold for the foreseeable future. So, I've decided to use this time to learn more about something I've always loved. Yoga as a physical practice has been a part of my dance training and life for several years now. I'm super excited to learn more and gain the tools to teach and share yoga with others. I will be receiving my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training from Sonic Yoga located in NYC.
