The TTC I attended at the Sundari Yoga School was, above all, an evolutionary leap in my spiritual path. Homework help increase my perseverance in daily spiritual practice. I consider the course manual a "bible", very complete and useful. It was a beautiful and enriching experience, Sofia.

 

Excellent course that produced transformations in my life and in my being. It has provided me with tools that I have used to help other people to make their "way" and transform their lives, Idalina.
