"Ida and Scott have laid the groundwork for anyone interested in studying this yoga. Their comprehensive research and extensive access to resources, as well as their expertise in even the most obscure aspects of history and philosophy, have enlightened and enriched my yoga study more than I can say. They have exceptional knowledge of anatomy, and every postural adjustment they have given me has been incredibly beneficial to my physical practice. I have deep respect for them as humans, and I trust them completely with every facet of my  yoga practice."

Q: Will I be able to teach the 26+2 sequence?
A: Yes, you will have the skills necessary to teach that sequence. However, this is not a scripted/dialogue training (see next question).

Q: Is this a "dialogue" training?

​Q: How is this training related to Ghosh's Yoga College in India?
A: This training is from the Bishnu Ghosh lineage, the same as Ghosh's Yoga College. Both Ida and Scott have studied  in India and work directly with the college. The focus of this training is more Western, centering on posture instruction, leading a class and understanding yoga history.
