When: 19-21 June, 2020
Where: LoveYourBrain, Online Virtual Studio
As always, I am excited to attend a teacher training course and workshop. Through teaching and my personal practice, I continue to be amazed by the benefits of both a physical yoga practice and meditation. The greater my experience and learning the more I realize there is much more to learn.
This program is designed to benefit people with brain injury and their carepartners. I look forward to learning from this group of experts and incorporating the new knowledge into all that Poe Wellness Solutions offers. We can all benefit from loving our brains a bit more.
