QUOTE FROM MENLA STUDENT 2024: “This past spring I took the Clear Light Yoga Nidra course you offered with Michele Loew. I have been meaning to write to you since, just to say how much I appreciated the course. This was a life/practice changing course for me; and believe me, I’ve done a lot over the years. It made an important shift I couldn’t make on my own. Partly I was ready, but Michele’s deep spiritual wisdom and understanding of the expansive landscape of Yoga Nidra made the class a profound experience, as well as intellectually interesting. Thank you for offering it. I look forward to more.” Marguerite Ogle, MS,RYT
