“As I reflect on 2018 my biggest highlight has been completing my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Madonna from Zen Soul Life. Madonna is a true inspiration. Her understanding of the art and practice of yoga and her ability to share it is captivating. Madonna is the perfect mix of fun and knowledge.
We have had many laughs and hearty discussions about yoga in our teacher training circle and this has created a beautiful bond between us all. Another huge bonus is meeting like-minded souls practicing this special healthy-bodied philosophy. I have made some wonderful friends.”
