Jane reporting from India!

A challenging journey so far- but here I am, finally in south India, enjoying the amazing fruits (and vegetables). Locally grown and organic and beautifully displayed as you can see.

I'm very excited to announce that I have now made available online, a fully self-paced version of the Foundation Principles Course. When you purchase, you will have unlimited access to the instructions and videos of the 7 Foundation Principles. You can return to it at any time and fine-tune your yoga practice.

This is something I have wanted to do for a long time, making it accessible to so many people from around the world and help them to find balance in their yoga journey. The Introduction video is free to access. Please feel free to share it with anyone you think would benefit.
