A P P L Y N O W I am the mother of a 4 year old, a wife and a small business owner. The time I spent here with SoulWork has not just healed and rejuvenated me - it has also given me the tools to cultivate stronger and healthier relationships with myself and with the people in my life. I came here with an open heart and am leaving filled with strength, hope, love and gratitude. – Shelly Hear from our Students

8. 02:36 A P P L Y N O W I started my journey with SoulWork back in October 2017. My background is in exercise physiology. I never even thought about the spiritual side of yoga and I had been teaching for 6 years. She gets deep. Rocks you to your inner core but somehow creates and holds space that allows you to connect with yourself and break down your walls. It’s fucking uncomfortable but I’m a completely different self-loving, self- empowered woman now. I walked away believing I can provide empirically researched base tools for the clients I serve that could guide them towards the journey of healing. I myself had an tremendous amount of healing in ways I didn't think were possible. I felt I left a heaviness that I have been carrying all of my life to dissolve itself within the realms of the jungle. I came out of the training feeling so much lighter, peaceful, and grounded internally. I would recommend this training to professional clinicians who work the front lines serving within their communities, to yoga instructors, to teachers, and to anyone who does humanitarian service work. – Allison – Trista Are You One Of Us?
