"OM yoga feels like home. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. When you are spending so much time in Teacher Training, you want to feel like it is somewhere where you belong."
- Joe Miller, OM yoga Senior Teacher and Teacher Training Faculty Member
"OM yoga takes the mystery out of yoga so students feel comfortable. There is a special appeal in working with a yoga method that incorporates Buddhist principles, and nurtures mindfulness as well as kindness and compassion towards ourselves and others."
