PRAISE
I loved Meredith’s course on the Bhagavad Gita and highly recommend it. I found it inspired me to move past several hurdles I had been struggling with in my life by giving me a fresh roadmap of thinking. It also helped me foster a new inner strength, sense of personal resolve and gave me a deep sense of comfort about my life and relationship to the world. I found the course to be a fantastic and approachable foundation for my continued personal study of this text as a yoga teacher and student. Thank-you Meredith for sharing your wisdom and insights with us.
Meredith’s knowledge and holistic approach to the Bhagavad Gita creates awareness, light and playful space. Listening to her words and teachings brings another dimension to this course. I look forward to the class each week and feel great after each class. I want to learn more! I would recommend this course to anyone looking to study the Life Lessons we can all learn.
Such valuable food for thought and many practical ways to bring the teachings into everyday life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop. I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about gaining more clarity in their life.
