Trust.
I specialize in designing yoga teacher training manuals. Whether you are starting from scratch, or have already written your manual and need a professional polish, I would love to be a part of your project.I have studied yoga, ayurveda and sanskrit for over 15 years and would love to share my expertise, especially the language of yoga. I have a variety of design packages, modules and trainings listed below.
You can trust my experience and knowledge to authentically design and edit your yoga teacher training manual based on many years of my own practice and training yoga teachers. I put my whole heart into each one, sharing my skills as a designer and experienced yoga practitioner.
I speak the language of yoga.
My experience runs deep, both in the study + practice of yoga, but also in study of sanskrit and devanagari, ayurveda, vedic philosophy and chanting. You can expect your manuals to be beautifully designed, as well as touched up with some authentic sanskrit design elements. I understand the foundation of this ancient language, so both devanagari and transliteration are available in training manuals, upon your request.
