Yoga with Leona 
Namasté Leona. I found your testimonial on the Vinyasa Yoga School website, on the “Happy Students” section. I am also a Filipina but live in Sweden and I have a 22 year old daughter who just the other day announced that she was thinking of taking a teacher training course in Rishikesh. She has not decided which school to pick yet but has narrowed her choices down to 2 schools : AYM or Tattvaa Yogashala. Have you heard anything about them? I have to admit that it didn´t take me too long to start my own research of the numerous schoolsin Rishikesh, and I found the Vinyasa School´s website. I am now recommending it to my daughter. Perhaps I am basing this on all the wrong reasons, “colored” by a mother´s desire to protect and give the best to one´s child. So I turn to you, if you have some spare time, I would highly appreciate it if you could share more information and insight regarding your stay, the course, teachers and the premises as a whole. Would highly be grateful for that. Salamat po. /Dods
