"I am rooted, but I flow" - Virginia Woolf
Like a tree with branches and leaves you are connected to something bigger. We can all be individuals, yet still part of the whole. Heart Thread Yoga's 200 hour Yoga Alliance certified training is focused on bringing you deeper into your authentic yoga experience. This goes beyond the physical Asana practice, to exploring the traditional 8 limbs of yoga with a modern twist.
