A true eye opener The TTC in Sivananda Bahamas was truly one of the most profound and beautiful experiences of my life. The location is paradise on earth, the teachers are so wise and caring, the lineage of Sivananda is a very ancient one full of tradition, and the teachings are authentic Yoga. It is the real deal. It was an intense, immersive month where we dived deep into the yogic teachings and lifestyle. Being surrounded by the Swamis and others makes it all very uplifting
