"Santosha's classes are one of the highlights of my week. She is an excellent teacher with a sharp acumen and well-honed intuition when it comes to the various needs of her students. Santosha's classes are carefully planned and I really love the way she weaves in the elements of the seasons and nature into the practices she teaches. She makes yoga so much more than stretching and breathing. I have learnt so much. What a blessing!" - Donella J, 2017 |
