I speak the language of yoga.
My experience runs deep, both in the study + practice of yoga, but also in study of sanskrit and devanagari, ayurveda, vedic philosophy and chanting. You can expect your manuals to be beautifully designed, as well as touched up with some authentic sanskrit design elements. I understand the foundation of this ancient language, so both devanagari and transliteration are available in training manuals, upon your request.
