| Reflections has led international training for over eight years. Paula Tursi, the founder and director, has taught yoga for more than twenty years.

Complimented with Foundational training in the ancient art form of Thai Massage, Reflections provides a distinct curriculum and sets the bar for yoga therapy and instruction for the future. Embark on a life-changing journey and discover the freedom of yoga, all while being immersed in a spiritual community in the heart of nature.
| | We will explore the body from a holistic perspective, applying the breath, Thai Massage and yoga therapeutic techniques. We will learn the asanas in their classic form as well as from a developmental perspective; develop a deep understanding of why the body moves as it does. We will articulate and understand that movement or asana can start from the inner or outer body. Thus movement initiated from the inner body can be an expression of the organs, bringing awareness and health to the deeper systems of the body. |
