Sandra Susheela Gilbert, E-RYT 500, C-IAYT is offering a “Healing Relationships” Training for Yoga teachers from Nov. 30 – Dec. 17, 2022 via the Integral Yoga Institute of San Francisco. Healing Relationships specializes in recognizing the difference between intellectual knowledge and a deeper intuitive experiential understanding. This training is devoted to focusing on the primary importance of the healing relationship and human connection between therapist and client.
