Associations and federations

“The yoga teacher remains the privileged ‘instrument’ for transmitting this age-old technique. Hence the importance of the quality of their ‘being’, of their personal training — and the immense responsibility of those who train these teachers, who transmit what they have learned, and even more, what they are.”
André Van Lysebeth
