Testimonials
Lakshmi is a wonderful example of a teacher who blends her head and her heart. Not only is she able to present complicated information clearly and concisely, her warmth made it exceedingly easy to approach her with questions. Preparedness and thoroughness were hallmarks of her teaching, which gave me the confidence to explain what I learned outside the classroom. — Erin Shanthi Haddock
The weekend was as good as it gets in every way. The content flowed seamlessly from specific to general, from head-y to hands on, from policy to practice, and I can’t imagine being in a room with a savvier, warmer, more generous teacher than Steffany Moonaz. You did a great job of pulling it together. Thank you! — Elizabeth Mann
Lakshmi is an engaging instructor, steeped in the teachings of Sri Swami Satchidananda. She imparts even the most complex information with great clarity and a warm sense of humor. — Christine Brahmi Romero
