Ginnys’s Reflections on the Centre’s YTT Program “I feel…” were the only words I could get out before the tears took over. Finally I managed to add “I can’t even get out the word ‘blessed’!” It was the closing circle at the end of our 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at the Salt Spring Centre. Emotions […]
