  • It has positively impacted my physical and mental well-being

    The Yamas and Niyamas topics furthered my gratitude and self-care habits. I enjoyed the focus on breathwork and started using these breath techniques as part of my home practice. I absolutely loved learning about the spiritual side of yoga, connecting with the higher self through meditation practice. The instructors were truly inspirational, and the knowledge I've gained practicing has positively impacted my physical and mental well-being. I would recommend The Heart of Yoga to anyone open to finding a higher purpose within yoga.

  • More Joy, Less Struggle!

    The Heart of Yoga deepened my awareness of resting in my breath, movements, and energy. My life now involves more joy and less struggle. Although I consider myself a follower of Christ, I find no conflict between these 2 faith traditions. I’m discovering through my practice greater access to my spiritual center. Thank you, Lisa and all the instructors at Prana, for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
