“In a time of uncertainty and change, Bodhi Wellness gave me purpose within the teacher training virtual sessions. I found the virtual method to flow as there is this beauty in finding your own sense of pace with the program and meeting together (on Zoom) to practice our voices and study together. The program wove easily into my day to day life and gave me a sense of community when I needed it the most.”
— Sarah W. Artist, Acupuncturist, Certified Yoga Teacher, Mother
