NOTE FROM A TEACHER
I love being part of the Folk Yoga School. The Folk programs do a great job of fully embracing & teaching all the aspects of yoga, not just asana but all the wonderful facets that Yoga encompasses! As a teacher, I can say that this program comes from a place of true integrity and honors YOGA. -Martin Scott, E-RYT 500
