Please Note! Every student in the March 2016 SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Practitioner Certificate Program received either a full or partial NAIC Tuition Grant or Scholarship. We remain committed that finances should not be the primary consideration in determining whether students gain access to our indigenous, traditional medicine training.

Students and faculty also enjoyed the Florida Sunshine and beautiful weather by participating in various karma yoga projects on the sanctuary. Working on the land is a great respite from long class days! We worked together on various projects from permaculture intensive gardening, beautification and clean up, soil building and maintenance, Spring prepping and soil building/ composting.
