"In some translations, Yoga means "union," and that is what the Texas Yoga Retreat is all about--stripping away the obstacles to a deeper union with Self and the union one finds in community with like-hearted others."
Amy Weintraub, California
"Attending the Texas Yoga Retreat reiterated my commitment to yoga and deepened my appreciation of the Living Yoga Program intensive training as a real life-changing experience." Janie, New Orleans
