This is a course that really has given me a significant improvement in life and I love the way things are broken down in small units, so I can focus on each part. Especially, during 2 months of lock-down (Covid 19) it has been a very good tool to keep sane in my solitude. To add to this, I have now implemented this practise in my morning routine and my goal is in 2022 to become a practitioner.
