Fantastic experience! No complaints whatsoever 🙂
It’s hard to convey how incredible this experience was. Sujit is a deeply focused and serious master, and I felt lucky every day to be studying and practicing under him. Dinesh is the kindest yoga teacher, and he pushed me to do more than I though I was capable of without ever making me feel uncomfortable. I’m so thankful for this experience and hope to return one day.
