A lot of emphasis will be placed on following your heart and finding your own unique voice and way of expression, even if you choose not to teach yoga. The skills, practices, and lessons learned from this training will serve you well for the rest of your life.

Truly Helpful LLC wants to emphasize that they do not promote any worldview or religious dogma (including dietary), but rather bring forward different viewpoints so you can make a more informed decision.

They view yoga not as a religion but as a tool that can actually help you practice your own faith and live your life more fruitfully. There are many paths of yoga ("paths are many, the truth is one"), and there are many styles; they want to help you find the ones that fit you best.

That said, the style that they mainly teach is a form of Hatha Vinyasa yoga (aka "Vinyasa Flow") that lends itself well to the creativity and intuition of the teacher and can be modified to fit different age groups, fitness levels, etc.
