"I wanted a yoga training that was close to my home, one that would fit my schedule and still offer all the different aspects of the study of yoga: asanas, chakras, sutras, anatomy, meditation, etc. that I was looking for. Green Tree School of Yoga offered all this and more. I was especially impressed at the faculty's concern for each student and their continuing effort to make the program top notch. I don't think I could have gone anywhere and gotten better training." -- M.F.; Green Tree Student
