True self yoga teacher training brought light and depth to my practice. Vajra, Christina and Anne are a powerhouse team with immense experience that they thoughtfully and lovingly shared with all yoga teacher trainees.
This training covers so much it leaves you wanting more. I would recommend this training for just about everything. Not only will you learn about the teachings of yoga, but you will learn things you may not have known about yourself. Thank you!
This program was truly transformative! Every moment was so thought out and organized. Truly one of the most enriching programs I’ve ever done. Upon completion, I feel confident to lead a class with knowledge and foundation. Eternally grateful for the experience.
With their combined yoga and meditation experiences and with deep roots in the Olympia community, husband-and-wife team, Vajra Romano and Christina Lagdameo, have established True Self Yoga with the mission to bring out your highest good.
