Students Feedback

 

Guided by your Veda, with a natural, sincere, amusing and inspiring way to relate, through your wonderful words, gestures and care, this has helped  me to unite myself and improve my balance. You showed me a way to Dharma: a much easier way to gain awareness and motivation.

I still hear your voices echoing in my Vishuddha chakra, leading us into briefing awareness, without judgment or expectations! But it’s hard not to be judgmental: you guys are just Wonderful, a deep thank you, a deep bow to you both, Namaste!
