"Thank you, Nicole, for such a fun and inspiring workshop (Bringing Laughter to Hatha Yoga). I had recently been feeling like I wanted to infuse some life into my classes, instead of just being zen for 60 minutes, or being uber-focused on the mechanics of the poses...but couldn't quite find my groove. Thanks to your workshop, I now have tons of fun ideas to weave in. This course should be a required curriculum for Yoga Teacher Training!
