Gratitude

The unsure anxiety driven woman who walked into her first retreat was not the same woman 12 hours later when she left. The metamorphosis was unbelievable. Every woman was there to experience their own journey and yet, at the same time, cared very much for mine … The energy was electric and the flow of our bodies moving as one brought us all together. One Sisterhood. One Tribe.

Pam
Nadia Carriere, is hands down one of the most top notch teachers I have trained with. She has integrity and she has walked the path by growing up in a vedic family. She has a deep understanding of the human body/mind and spirit and how yoga incorporates all 3!
