Whatever Krisna is teaching, I have followed. All-Levels, Ropes, Gentle, Back-Care, Introductory / Level 1, Pranayama, Spiritual Studies, special topic / area sessions (including hips and shoulders) and various Sadhanas. I’ve also had the privilege of individual sessions. Krisna is a masterful teacher. Her range of expertise is vast and I have benefitted from her practice in countless ways.
