Africa Yoga Project Fundraiser with Desta Marika

Africa Yoga Project

Our own Desta Marika is going to Kenya to assist the Africa Yoga Project 200hr Teacher Training! She's made a fundraising commitment and we'd love for you to help her meet it. Baptiste Yoga is a global community and we have special ties with Africa Yoga Project. Come to this class and be a part of the connection!
Desta will lead this two hour class with a balance of Asana, Meditation, and Inquiry. You'll experience the transformative power of working these practices and techniques all together.
Desta is a dedicated teacher of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga and she is a graduate of Baptiste Level 1, 2, and 3 trainings.
